In mid-October, the Beverly Hills-based Wihill Avenue Artist Management officially declared bankruptcy. Josephson's ICM merger, senile Michael? Ovitz and Martin? Bob is also fully retired. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info_>Yawen_> Barw'w'W·. `y=a`w`e`n-8`．=>

It's just that this news didn't attract Hollywood's attention at all, and even Duke just glanced at it and was still in the back of his mind.

Since the day he reached an agreement with William Morris to jointly dig into the corner of the artist's agency management company, such an ending has been doomed. Ovitz and Martin? Bob actually withdrew from the Hollywood stage, and the so-called "Hollywood emperor" has long since fallen to the point where no one cares.

The main clients and potential clients of the artist management company have basically been hollowed out by the other three companies, and there is an empty shell left a long time ago.

Such an opponent can't get Duke to take seriously, Michael? Ovitz and Martin? Bob's departure from Hollywood with a depressed attitude is also the inevitable replacement of the old and the new in this circle.

Although the other party has been competing with him for many years, with Duke's character, he will not have the interest of running in front of the two old men to mock, this is not a life-and-death duel, he was the winner many years ago, so naturally he will not care about them anymore.

There will be a day when myths will be shattered, and the false aura promoted by the media will also fade.

Not only in this life, even in Duke's former life, countless real life events have fully proved that Michael? Ovitz must have a problem with the heads of anyone who can control Hollywood.

Compared to Michael, who ended quietly? Ovitz and the artist management company, another piece of news was hyped by the media, and even Hollywood stars were in danger.

After a lengthy investigation, the British government announced the official launch of an investigation and hearing on News Corp. Murdoch became the water dog that everyone shouted at. >_Ya_文吧w-w·w'.-y=a'w-e·n8.>

The media revealed that the homes and phones of many Hollywood stars were tapped, including Tom? Cruise, but Duke has long been aware of the true face of the so-called news media that advocates fairness and justice, and has been taking targeted measures for a long time.

It's just that the incident still involved Duke's crew. Starring Miranda? Sienna of Tate? Miller was the focus of "Eavesdropping", and in order not to affect the shooting, Duke simply made adjustments to the shooting. Tate's role was postponed. Wait for Sienna? After Miller has solved these worries, he will shoot again.

Although it is far from falling, Rupert? Murdoch's kingdom trembles in the storm, the century-old tabloid News of the World is killed, the former press director of Downing Street is taken away by the police, and the eyes of the picture reveal unease...... To paraphrase a popular tabloid mantra: the death of the News of the World shocked the world.

However, this is not the end of the story, but only the beginning of a new chapter.

And all that. It all started on the prince's knees.

Five years ago, the story of William, Duke of Cambridge's knee injury, was exposed by the News of the World, and only a few cronies knew about it.

As a result, the eavesdropping door involved the royal family.

The British royal family has indeed declined, but no one can underestimate the strength of the Windsor family, and those who underestimate it have paid the same price as Diana or Murdoch.

From the United Kingdom to North America, media outlets that are not affiliated with News Corp. are almost all beating up the water dogs. This opportunity to step on a competitor is too rare.

Time Warner is no exception, without any communication with other media groups in North America, they have tacitly joined forces and constantly put pressure on News Corp. in terms of public opinion and practical actions, even if the two media companies have cooperated more before, but when this opportunity comes, capital will make the most beneficial choice for itself. __>>_Yawen bar w=

Previously, Rupert? Murdoch and News Corp. have always wanted to acquire Time Warner, but they have never been able to do so, and the Antitrust Bureau of the Federal Department of Justice is a threshold that cannot be crossed.

Bugging the explosion of the door. Also Rupert? Murdoch's M&A idea can only stay in the planning stage.

And other media conglomerates are pressuring the federal government to split News Corp. into two parts, Media Conglomerate and Twentieth Century Fox, even if the two companies remain controlled by the Murdoch family. But it can no longer make Rupert like he does now? Murdoch is like a finger.

There is never a position in the competition between capitals, only interests.

Just like Walt Disney, whose internal relations have not been straightened out, a News Corp that is too powerful is not in Duke's interest in essence, and he certainly wants to see News Corp. be broken up. Within Time Warner's board of directors, he is also one of many who advocate for a crackdown on News Corp.

Rupert? Murdoch started in Australia, and News Corp.'s base camp spans the United Kingdom and the United States, and several major media groups in North America have no awareness of helping their peers, but are more active than anyone else in beating the water dogs.

In late October, the Los Angeles branch of the FBI and the Los Angeles County Police Department conducted a joint operation to arrest the famous 'Hollywood Eye' Anthony ? Armed with a search warrant, Pelicano searched his homes in Burbank, West Hollywood, and Orange County, and found more than $2 million in cash, as well as some weapons and thousands of hours of wiretapping.

In particular, the police investigation of Pelicano's e-mail revealed a large exchange of letters with the New York Post, which involved numerous wiretaps and scandals.

Subsequently, the police held a press conference and presented some evidence of Pelicano's wiretapping, although it was not announced which Hollywood stars had been wiretapped, but everyone in Hollywood was suddenly in danger.

Among the published part of the evidence, the spearhead is directly pointed at the New York Post, a subsidiary of News Corporation, and the eavesdropping scandal, which was hyped up by the North American media, quickly spread to the world.

Lenovo is now born in the United Kingdom, and it is not difficult for the public to imagine that wiretapping is almost a common phenomenon for News Corp.

Just one day later, the FBI announced that it had taken over the Pelicano case, because his emails with the New York Post involved not only Hollywood public figures, but also some members of Congress and the families of 911 victims!

911 is an eternal scar in the hearts of the North American public, and now that News Corp is embroiled with hard evidence, the public outrage can be imagined, and the families of a large number of 911 victims have called on the federal government to investigate the incident in major media outlets, and Congress has held a special session for this purpose......

In just over a week, News Corp. has steamed nearly 10 percent of its market value.

News Corp., once a glorious company, has completely fallen into the storm.

As the investigation deepened, more and more British and American celebrities appeared on News Corp's eavesdropping list.

Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom and the FBI in the United States have published a list of 6ooo people who have been wiretapped.

Among them are members of the British royal family, Eugenie and Yorkby? Princess Beatrice, Prince William and Harry, actress Sienna? Miller, British Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa? Mr. and Mrs. Jowells, soccer star Ryan? Giggs and Paul? Scholes and so on.

On the U.S. side, the victims included the well-known actor Brad? Pete and Angelina? Julie, the famous band Lincoln Park, the families of the fallen American soldiers, and several unnamed members of Congress and state senators, among others.

The British Parliament also held its first hearing on the 'wiretapping' incident, and Murdoch and Wendi Deng were present in person to be questioned, and just as the questioning was about to end, an accident occurred.

During the live broadcast, a man in a plaid shirt sitting in the back row of the auditorium suddenly stood up, walked briskly to the witness stand, and smashed a paper plate full of shaving foam at Murdoch.

Everyone else was stunned, no one realized that the attackers should be stopped, and perhaps no one really wanted to stop them, Murdoch seemed to freeze in his seat, and the police did not react immediately.

Deng Wendi jumped up from the chair like lightning at this time, flew forward, drew an arc in the air with his right arm, and slapped the attacker in the face with his right palm......

In this way, the old couple and young wife staged a 'love show' on live TV and in front of audiences in the entire Western world.

After the unexpected birth of the hearing, a large number of reports appeared in some media about Wendi Deng's flying husband, and some people said that Wendi Deng showed extraordinary courage and should be awarded the title of "Wife of the Year"; Some people said that "Wendi Deng's movements were so fast that the slow police officers in the courtroom were dwarfed"; There was also The Guardian, which is owned by News Corp., which said she showed what it means to be a model couple at the hearing.

Through television, the picture of the attack on Murdoch's watch was presented to the public, which effectively alleviated the anger of the government and the people over the wiretapping incident, and the situation faced by Murdoch and News Corp. has been improved to a certain extent, and even some well-known public relations figures believe that News Corp. not long ago hired a well-known American public relations firm to improve its corporate image, which is not as good as Wendi Deng's slap in the face.

It was definitely a very beautiful crisis PR.

However, the major media groups in North America will never give up this opportunity to suppress their competitors, and a weakened News Corp. is in their interest.

Two days later, the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" magazine published Wendi Deng's diary, which was mailed anonymously, revealing Wendi Deng's love for Blair without reservation. (To be continued.) )
