As the director of the fan association said, when she arrived near the gate of the Los Angeles County police station, Daisy didn''t see the riot police in the brigade, let alone tear gas. While a large number of media reporters were accompanying and filming, only some ordinary police were waiting for them to maintain order.
Hundreds of people were blocked in front of the police station as banners were printed, protest posters were raised, and occasionally slogans were chanted in support of Murphy.
However, reminded by the director of the fan association, both members of the IMDB Murphy Stanton discussion group convened by Daisy and other Murphy fans who came here spontaneously were more restrained. They did not make any excessive moves except for banners, posters and slogans.
As time goes on, more and more people joined in the protest. At the beginning, the people who joined in the protest were mostly Murphy''s fans. Behind them, many human rights organizations also became part of the protest. The slogan of the protest was no longer just for Murphy. People like freedom and democracy were also held up by these people.
In just one day, more than 2500 people sat in front of the Los Angeles County police station to protest, and the number of media reporters concerned rose to more than 100. Fox TV and CNN news directly drove the live TV van to the front of the Los Angeles County police station.
At the same time, California''s prosecutors showed super high efficiency. After nearly ten days of investigation, they officially announced that the investigation of Murphy by Sheriff Gatling Collins, a subordinate of the Los Angeles Police Department, had not gone through any formal and legal procedures. It was a violation of police regulations and civil rights.
After the results of the survey were released, it caused a big stir in Hollywood. Such a thing can happen to Murphy today, and it may also happen to them tomorrow.
Hollywood stars and celebrities, on their social accounts, denounced the Los Angeles Police''s behavior. Some big stars, such as Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio, called on Hollywood to hold a public protest.
Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio is almost the first time to stand in support of Murphy''s camp.
The reason is simple. He obviously wants to ease the relationship with Murphy.
The situation of "wolf of Wall Street" can''t be reversed again. Leonardo DiCaprio can''t get any profit from this project, so naturally he won''t conflict with Murphy any more. It''s not only Murphy''s unwillingness to do something that doesn''t benefit, but also Leonardo DiCaprio.
Now that the previous events have passed, for future consideration, he certainly does not want to completely quarrel with Murphy. It is necessary to release goodwill and ease the relationship between the two sides in some ways.
Murphy doesn''t have time to pay attention to Leonardo DiCaprio. With the release of Wall Street wolf coming soon, he and Gail gado fly to New York to prepare for the film''s premiere.
It''s a film about Wall Street, and the premiere was held again at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Art Center.
Unlike the relatively small production cost of 80 million US dollars, the wolf of Wall Street has attracted wide attention from the public to the media. The event called "investigation gate" by many media has fully met the expectations of Murphy and 20th century fox.
Murphy and Gail gado arrived in Manhattan ahead of time, didn''t go to the hotel, and for the first time they officially stayed in the newly decorated upper east side apartment. However, in New York, Murphy is still paying attention to the situation in Los Angeles. Whether through the news media or bill rosis, they can understand some of the latest situation.
Once things rise to the height of freedom and democracy, it''s not so easy to completely calm down. The number of people protesting in front of the Los Angeles County Police Department is increasing almost every day, and quickly spread to the whole world through the news media, and then aroused widespread attention.
This "investigation gate" incident is no longer limited between the police and Hollywood, and has become a hot topic of public concern.
Due to the internal division, the Los Angeles police have been unable to come up with a completely unified voice. Under the pressure of the public, prosecutors, lawyers and many other levels, the attitude of the Los Angeles police who originally supported Gatling Collins has quietly changed.
It''s not the only thing on the other side of the Pacific to do about "giving up troops to protect commanders.".
"You put a lot of pressure on the entire Los Angeles police force!"
In a luxurious office, the director in glasses looked at Gatling Collins, who was promoted by himself, and said, "who are you going to investigate? You have to target a person who is famous in the United States?"
Even if he is only famous, he is still very rich. In this country, money means a lot of things. And through what happened during this period, he can see clearly that the young Hollywood director has been tied up with some media groups, which is a community of interests.
The police may not be afraid of them. The problem is that there are also many people in favor of them in the police station
Thinking of this, he shook his head. "Stupid! What a fool you areGatling Collins stood there with his head down, not saying a word. During this period of time, he was under great pressure and almost became a mouse exposed to the sun. Everyone chased and yelled. If he didn''t hide in time, he would be torn up and eaten by those crazy fans of Murphy Stanton.
Well Plus those reporters who are afraid that the United States is not chaotic enough, he will not even have any bones left.
"What do you think?"
Hearing the director''s words, Gatling Collins raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot and white, as if he were a teenager.
"I will be responsible for..."
"Are you in charge?"
Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by the director who was suddenly furious. The director helped his glasses, stood up, put his hands on the desk, and scolded angrily, "can you bear the responsibility? Now, California prosecutors, the top law firms in the United States, the Federal Bureau of investigation in Los Angeles, and the governor''s office are exerting tremendous pressure on us! "
The director straightened up, walked back and forth for two steps, pointed to the outside of the office and said aloud, "are you responsible for the thousands of protestors outside?"
"The current governor has called me three times to inquire about the specific situation!" The more the director said, "did you know he was born in Hollywood?"
Finally, he looked at Gatling Collins and said, "without any evidence and high-level support, you little Sheriff dare to investigate people who should not be provoked!"
Today, how can Gatling Collins not know that his impulsive behavior has caused great trouble!
"But..." What else does he want to say.
"No, but!" The director raised his hand and interrupted him. "Whenever there is a little evidence, we will not let Murphy Stanton go, but we have no evidence that Murphy Stanton did those things in those years!"
Some words, he will not say clearly that those things did not happen during his term of office. Why should he investigate a person who would bring great trouble to himself for something without any evidence.
The law does say fair and just, but there will always be some bias in terms of money, fame and interests.
"In this way," the director suppressed his anger, and now his anger can''t solve the problem at all. "You hand in a resignation report, and I''ll find a way to transfer you to the police stations in other cities when this matter is over."
"I..." Gatling Collins opened his mouth and was interrupted by the director. "That''s it. You can do it as soon as possible."
After a look at the director, Gatling Collins knew that things could not turn around. He gently nodded his head and walked out of the office.
Out of the office door, Gatling Collins suddenly thought, he still has a large amount of mortgage to pay, lost his job, mortgage how to do?
He wrote a resignation report as fast as he could, and then left the police station through the back door, ready to go home to avoid the limelight. The mortgage problem can only be solved when it subsides.
Two days before the premiere of Wall Street wolf in North America, Murphy got news from Bill rosis. Los Angeles police called a press conference on the same day and made the first official public response, saying that there was indeed a Gatling Collins sergeant who was illegally investigating Murphy, but this was only his personal behavior. The police did not know the situation. At present, Gatling Collins is still in the process of investigation He has also resigned.
Although this public response could not completely quell the "investigation gate", it also calmed many people''s emotions, especially gave Murphy an account. News from the Los Angeles police through some channels showed that they had given up Gatling Collins.
"Will he do something impulsive?"
In the cloakroom, Gail gado tied Murphy''s bow tie and said, "a former sheriff, if..."
"Don''t worry." Murphy picked up the black jacket and put it on. "He didn''t have the time, he didn''t have the energy. He will be overwhelmed by the investigations of the California prosecutors, the FBI and the Department of justice alone. Robert is constantly exerting pressure. Strictly speaking, Gatling Collins has been involved in duty crimes. "
Murphy doesn''t know much about this aspect of the law, and it''s not very clear which party should be responsible for the investigation of the criminal acts that Gatling Collins may be involved in. However, Robert told him that the other party can''t withdraw completely.
That''s enough for him.
However, just in case, Gail gado invited the former bodyguards back again. Although Murphy didn''t care, she didn''t dare to let him take any risks and gave them a long-term appointment.
After dressing up, Murphy and Gail gado get on the Bentley car driven by the bodyguard and head for the Lincoln Art Center. (to be continued). )
