The Best Entertainment Era

Los Angeles, Century City, Fox Tower.

James Murdoch, who was restricted from leaving the country, still went to work on time to stabilize the somewhat slack hearts of 20th Century Fox.

The company is not doing well recently, and the FBI agents come over from time to time to conduct investigations. Under the enormous pressure exerted by public opinion, government authorities and the huge group created by him and the News Corporation, they are like hounds. Don't miss every clue.

The stock price seemed to be crushed by this huge pressure.

Shareholders, completely irritated, demanded an explanation from the Murdoch family.

How to explain this kind of thing? Everyone kept silent when making a profit, but let the Murdoch family alone take the blame when something goes wrong.

James Murdoch is on the phone to New York again, with fresh instructions from his father, Rupert Murdoch, to visit Relativity Entertainment's Ronan Anderson in person.

His father became an old man, and even though he didn't have any evidence, he speculated that the reason behind this incident was inseparable from the theory of relativity entertainment.

For his father's vision, James Murdoch is still quite confident, but this guess is somewhat difficult for him to accept.

He has been plotting Relativity Entertainment, waiting for an opportunity to arise, but before the plan actually started, Relativity Entertainment took action against 20th Century Fox and News Corporation?

But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is also very big. After all, he really had Ronan Anderson bugged, although he didn't get any useful information.

James Murdoch asked his assistant to contact Relativity Entertainment and planned to visit him in the afternoon.

Then, he checked the latest situation of Relativity Entertainment through materials and the Internet.

Relativity Entertainment is integrating Lucasfilm, the script of the new Star Wars movie has begun, and the market value of Netflix, the holding company, is close to 180 billion US dollars, and the newly released movies are selling well.

A remake, called Kingsman, opened in North America last weekend, with a box office of 56.85 million US dollars in the first weekend.

Relativity Entertainment has had another hit with movies.

Even James Murdoch is numb to such situations, because they are so common.

It is now March 2009,

Some stats from last year have already been released. Even if movies like Beauty and the Beast and Captain America ​​are still in theaters, in the past year, Relativity Entertainment has achieved the No. 1 result in both North American and global box office charts.

Avatar, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man 2, Inception, The Hunger Games and Captain America, etc., have made Relativity Entertainment the most popular ever. The first company with a global box office of more than 10 billion US dollars.

Its global gross is as high as 11.68759 billion US dollars.

Although Avatar contributed a quarter of it, the multi-faceted development of relativity entertainment is also the key.

Only the box office is divided into one item, which crushes the sum of the global box office of 20th Century Fox.

Even if it is impossible for Relativity Entertainment to have a super blockbuster like Avatar this year, judging from the release list announced by Embassy Pictures, the box office performance may not be worse than last year.

The most representative ones are The Avengers, Transformers 2 and Iron Man 3. According to the judgment of the industry, these are all commercial masterpieces with a global box office volume of one billion US dollars.

If nothing else, Relativity Entertainment will once again create a year in which the global box office exceeds 10 billion.

What is even more frightening is that the box office and last year's release year are only part of the income of these films, and the peripherals will continue to generate income for Relativity Entertainment in the years to come.

As far as James Murdoch knows, the Beauty and the Beast project, just Belle's dresses, Relativity Entertainment has sold nearly 400 million US dollars in the global market.

In order to sell the skirts, this company is so frantic that Belle changed one set after another in the movie, but every set is so beautiful.

James Murdoch shook his head, temporarily put aside these thoughts, and returned to the Bugging Gate itself. This matter had too much influence on 20th Century Fox and News Corporation.

My family knows what they have done, and the published data and cases may be wrong, but they are very few.

In fact, what News Corporation has done is far more serious than what it has made public.

If the investigation continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable.

After having lunch alone at noon, I went back to the office to rest for a while, and watched the progress of the incident again. It was all negative news, as if 20th Century Fox and News Corporation would completely collapse tomorrow.

When James Murdoch planned and acquiesced in those things, he never considered that he would face today's situation, and he didn't know what to do except to magnify his moves.

The magnification doesn't seem to work very well either. His father, Rupert Murdoch, is busy fighting fires and doing crisis public relations everywhere, but the effect is better than nothing.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, James Murdoch appeared on time in the reception room of the Relativity Building.

Long time no see, Ronan.

No matter how difficult the situation was, James Murdoch maintained a smile on his face in front of outsiders. While shaking hands with Ronan, he said, Twentieth Century Fox and Relativity Entertainment are neighbors, so we need to move around frequently.

Ronan ignored James Murdoch's hint of goodwill and said, Unfortunately, my good neighbor installed a bug on my phone.

James Murdoch was a little surprised by Ronan's directness, but he was not embarrassed at all. After all, he had expected such a situation when he came here, and said immediately: I am very sorry about this matter. But it is really not from me. I have never done it, nor have I ever thought about it.

Finding someone to take the blame for a big man is a basic skill, and James Murdoch even picked it up: This is done by the people below. They are too courageous and dare to do anything wrong. Ronan, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.

How could Ronan believe this kind of nonsense, and said: James, what is the truth of the matter, we don't need to discuss it here. I believe the governments of Britain and the United States will come to a conclusion. So many people are waiting for a result.

James Murdoch said: Anyway, Ronan, I owe you an apology for this...

Ronan raised his hand and interrupted James Murdoch, and asked, I don't know what's the matter with you coming to see me this time?

Getting to the point so quickly, James Murdoch stopped talking in circles, and said directly: Ronan, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter can develop to the present point, and there is Relativity Entertainment and you behind it.

Ronan remained silent and did not make any response for the time being.

James Murdoch frowned slightly, and simply asked: Ronan, Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, although their relationship with Relativity Entertainment was not very good in the past, it is not too bad. The Murdoch family is not blind, you are After doing so much behind the scenes, what do you want to do?

Hearing this questioning, Ronan couldn't help laughing, and said: Mr. James Murdoch, you should understand one thing, my girlfriend and I are both victims of the eavesdropping caused by News Corporation!

His tone gradually increased: I should ask you this, Mr. James Murdoch, News Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox, and the Murdoch family, what do you want to do by bugging my phone call with Jesse?

This stern attitude is completely different from the Ronan in James Murdoch's impression.

In his eyes, Ronan Anderson has always been a relatively kind person, and it is rare in the industry to hear him lose his temper with someone.

I have no other meaning. James Murdoch thought of the recent situation and quickly explained: I just want to clear up the misunderstanding between us.

Misunderstanding? Ronan couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

James Murdoch still wanted to talk, but Ronan didn't give him the chance: If you want to talk to me, your weight is not enough, let your father come.

Ronan! James Murdoch stared.

Ronan waved his hand: I still have work to do, so let's go here.

He didn't care about James Murdoch anymore, got up and left the reception room, and Connie came in later, smiling slightly at James Murdoch: Mr. Murdoch.

James Murdoch remained silent and left Relativity Entertainment with complicated emotions. After all, he was not an ordinary person. After careful consideration, he also realized that his status might not be equal to that of Ronan Anderson.

The other party is the richest man in the world, and his net worth is even richer than the entire News Corporation...

Back at the Fox Tower, he immediately contacted his father, Rupert Murdoch.

Rupert Murdoch is in London, and things are not looking good there.

The British parliamentary select committee released the preliminary investigation report of News Corporation's phone-hacking series scandal.

In this 85-page report, there are three conclusions that have aroused widespread concern.

First, the report stated that Rupert Murdoch and his son were pretentiously ignorant of the News of the World reporter's series of phone hacking incidents and were not suitable to lead News Corporation. There is a colossal failure.

Second, the report criticized more than a dozen executives of News Corporation, and pointed out that they have been covering up the scandal and misleading the investigation, seriously interfering with judicial justice!

Third, the British government and parliament are considering that if News Corporation still insists that this is a small mistake, they will force the Murdoch family to sell a series of media management rights such as Sky TV and The Times.

Including the Royal Law Firm representing the royal family and other legal institutions have also announced that they will file a lawsuit against News Corporation.

In the face of such a severe situation, in order to preserve the media empire of the Murdoch family, Rupert Murdoch changed his previous denial and published a full-page apology letter on the official website of News Corp. We apologize for the wrongdoing, we are deeply sorry for the pain the victim has suffered, and we regret not taking action sooner to resolve the issue.

By now, the media tycoon fully understood that the incident was completely out of his control.
