For this matter, the father of Marquez Costello paid enough attention to it. When he returned to the office, he immediately asked someone to find the relevant telephone number and personally dialed the number of several trade union leaders in Hollywood.


    Murphy Stanton is best known as a director, so father Marcus Costello first called the president of the director''s Union Council.


    After he told the story simply, the people over there didn''t seem to care at all. They just replied in a very casual tone, "I''m sorry, your eminence. We don''t have the right to interfere with the subject matter and content of the directors and film companies. This is their freedom..."


    When you hear the word "freedom", the father of Marquez Costello is on fire! The American government is about to deprive all freedom. Do you still talk about freedom? What freedom does Hollywood have? Damn freedom!


    However, the other side not only pulled out the banner of "freedom", but also said something that made the father of Marquez Costello embarrassed.


    "Also, Murphy Stanton is not a member of the directors'' Union. Your eminence has the wrong number!"


    He''s not a member of the directors'' Union? How could that be!


    Father Marcus Costello hung up and was even more dissatisfied with the people in Hollywood. Of course, he thought the chairman of the directors'' Union Council was perfunctory.


    Later, he called the writers'' Union and the producers'' Union, and the response was also unsatisfactory. The tone of the other party sounded very polite. However, when it came to the matter, he did not give the Catholic Archbishop any face. In the name of "freedom", he said that he would not interfere with the freedom of directing and film making.


    After the phone call, father Marcos Costello not only didn''t solve the problem, but squeezed his stomach, stood up and walked several times, but couldn''t find a good way for a while.


    He also knows that it is not the past, especially in the more open Southern California, it is not easy for theocracies to interfere in the secular world.


    The media began to mention the Catholic content of the film, but in the case of limited range, the impact is not big, and the award season has already started. Media reporters pay more attention to whether Murphy, who has been running with Oscar best director all the year round, will make achievements at the OSCA awards ceremony next year, and the attention to this aspect is relatively limited.


    In two cinemas in New York and three cinemas in Los Angeles, "Diego rose" spent its first screening weekend. Although the audience reputation of the film was not particularly ideal compared with Murphy''s past commercial films, he and Robert Downey Jr. had strong appeal. Moreover, the brand effect of the film and the promotion effect of 20th century fox were obvious, which made it the top spot of the weekend The rate and box office figures are good.


    On Monday morning, the latest box office express and Grace''s invitation arrived at wave manor at the same time.


    "The invitation?" Gail gado, who had just changed his clothes, came down the stairs, sat down on the sofa, took the invitation from the coffee table in front of Murphy, and asked, "what''s the invitation to?"


    "Private air show." Murphy picked up the box office express.


    Gail gado knew that Murphy was going to buy a business plane. With their financial resources, they were very relaxed. He opened the invitation and said, "tomorrow afternoon? At Long Beach Airport? "


    "Do you have time?" Murphy looked at Gail gado. "Let''s go there together."


    Recently Gail gado has been busy negotiating with Nafi and reed Hastings.


    "Tomorrow morning someone went to the studio to apply for a job, and Rosa Rodriguez retired." Gail gado thought for a moment, "this afternoon should be fine. I''ll be back by noon."


    Murphy hasn''t paid much attention to the personnel situation of the studio recently. Moreover, although the studio is still a shell strictly speaking, it also has more than 30 employees.


    "Is Rosa old enough to retire?" Murphy immediately remembered the receptionist who could almost crush the chair.


    Gail gado looked back and forth at the invitation, "the beginning of the month has arrived, and now it''s just finished."


    Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed, "it''s hard to find a serious and responsible employee like her now."


    Rosa Rodriguez has a bad image, but thanks to Murphy for giving her a decent, stable income and a good job, she has been working as a studio all these years, which is a rare good employee.


    Murphy smiles. "Jobs are harder to find than employees now."


    The high unemployment rate here is bound to disappoint some people who yearn for paradise.


    "Well." Gayle gado put down the invitation, looked at Murphy''s data express, saw nothing, and asked, "what''s the box office like?"


    "Five theaters in New York and Los Angeles, with a total box office of a little over $150000." Murphy handed over the express. "It''s about 30000 dollars per library. It''s OK."


    Gail gado took over the express and looked at it. Compared with some popular art films, which often cost US $50000 + in a single studio, the box office of "Diego Ross" is not good or bad.But it''s normal to think about it.


    Those literary and artistic films with box office success at the time of screening, which have not gone through more than half a year of word-of-mouth marketing, often begin to participate from Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival. If you are lucky enough, you will receive many awards and create topics in various art film festivals. The North American market has been under pressure until the award season.


    After a lot of word-of-mouth fermentation, the film has been promoted for half a year. When the screening starts, the audience''s expectation will naturally burst into an excellent box office figure.


    As for what happens in the future, it depends on word of mouth.


    She continued to look down. In the express sent by Fox in the 20th century, there was also a statistics of various scores after three days of screening.


    The cinemascore of the film is "a -", the popcorn index is only 74%, and the audience reputation is above average. Cinemascore predicts that if there are no important nominations and awards in the award season, the box office in North America will not exceed 50 million US dollars.


    Different from the audience''s word-of-mouth, the film''s media and professional word-of-mouth burst, 82% of the 89 media included in rotten tomato gave good comments, with an average score of 8.3 points; the comprehensive evaluation of authoritative media included 56 media, with an average score of 80 points.


    Gail gado recalled that even in all Murphy''s films, this kind of professional reputation is excellent.


    It''s a pity that the film is a bit cold and the audience doesn''t buy it. She could only sigh in secret.


    "By the way, there''s one thing you should remember." Gail gado reminds Murphy that "the Boston Globe has been authorized for only ten years."


    That is, within 10 years, if Murphy and Stanton studios do not adapt the film, the licensing agreement signed between them will automatically lapse.


    Murphy nodded. "It won''t take ten years."


    If everything goes well in the plan, it will be in the past few years.


    Gail gado put away the invitation and said, "there is a remark clause in my agreement with the Boston Globe. After you confirm the script, you should send a copy to Robbie Robinson."


    "Remember to remind me." Murphy stood up and was ready to go to the study. Gail gado followed him and said, "after reading this documentary report, I found that there are so many scandals in Catholicism."


    Murphy shrugged. "It''s more than what''s in the report."


    Gail gado, puzzled and obsessed with the gossip of women, asked, "I know Catholic priests are forbidden to be celibate. But if you can''t help it, why don''t you try to figure out why you touch underage children. Is it easier to be forgiven by God than to be guilty? Or are children purer and easier to feel God? "


    Opening the door of the study on the first floor, Murphy first let Gail gado in, then closed the door and said, "honey, how do you want me to answer such a serious and profound religious question?"


    Gail gado put up his right index finger, "to tell the truth, say what you think."


    He went to the back of the desk, pulled back the chair and sat down. Murphy held his chest in one hand and held his chin for a moment. When Gail gado sat on the opposite chair, he said, "I think the main reason is convenience."


    "Well?" Gail gado looks askance at Murphy.


    "* *, it''s easy to find out if you go out, so the whole monastery will lose face." Murphy is also a boring guess, "what if we order takeout? It''s going to be a long time! "


    He made a metaphor, "honey, haven''t you ever felt the pain of placing an order at Amazon for something you particularly want to buy, and then waiting for the express delivery?"


    Gail gado rolled his eyes at him.


    "It''s convenient for the little boy who is ready-made and can be used at any time." Murphy added, "it''s said that I know that in fact, all organizations that prohibit marriage and accept young apprentices have this kind of thing. It''s not only Catholic."


    Clergy are also human beings, and they need to vent their primitive instinctive desires. In addition to solving their own problems, compared with adult women, young children are obviously much better at controlling. Moreover, many young children who are sexually assaulted have frequent contact with clergy and have little contact with the outside world, which reduces the possibility of sexual assault being discovered.


    In addition, their social status is often high, and most of them are in schools, hospitals, orphanages and other places where they can contact children. In addition, there are many children who have entered the convent to study since childhood in the convent, which also gives them the objective conditions to commit crimes.


    Murphy remembers that in a book he once read, there was also a record of this aspect. Whether it was really impossible to verify.


    In one of his sex enlightenment books, I read a passage about Tianbao: the old monk went to the garden to pay homage. He was cut into his buttocks by the tip of a bamboo shoot by mistake, but he was in constant pain. The little monk saw it and said, "Amitabha, heaven''s reward."


    "Well, honey, it''s better not to talk about these dark things." Murphy timely changed the topic, "we''d better discuss what kind of plane to buy." (to be continued). )
