When the time entered the second half of April, with the cooperation of Walt Disney, the pressure on the News Corporation, which was mainly composed of paper media, and the Fox Group, which was dominated by the film and television industry, was also carried out in an orderly manner, and without Disney fanning the flames behind the scenes, the pressure from the political circles of Britain and the United States was much less, especially their voluntary splitting behavior, which also met the interests of many people in London and Washington.

What remains unchanged is that the internal struggle within News Corp. is still fierce, Murdoch's sons and daughters are ready to move, and the war over production will be the curse that will plague News Corp. and Fox Inc. in the next few years, and after the two companies are separated, Murdoch will not be as strong as before.

On April 25, the Los Angeles District Court handed down its verdict, Anthony ? Pelicano was convicted on a total of 78 counts of wiretapping, computer fraud and telecommunications fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The "eavesdropping" incident, which put Hollywood stars at risk, came to an end, and Hollywood woke up from a nightmare.

Anthony? Pelicano is a smart man who did not choose to appeal, kept silent in the face of the media, and repeatedly stated that he would never betray his clients, never betray his story, and that secrets will always be secrets.

It's a very sensible thing to do, and if he deals with the media, a lot of people will find a way to shut him up completely, otherwise Michael? Douglas's imprisoned son is his predecessor.

In New York, the editor-in-chief and several editors of the New York Post will also face more than ten years in prison, and they have been completely abandoned by News Corp. and naturally become the scapegoats that Murdoch uses to dispel Ryan's anger.

On the London side, although James? Murdoch was exempted from prosecution but was deported by the British government, which declared him "persona non grata", and Murdoch's youngest son was thus denied the UK and had to return to New York. And this is exactly the situation Ryan wants, in the battle for property within the Murdoch family, another party has been added, and it will be more intense and beautiful in the future.

James? Murdoch was able to get out of the cage, Murdoch's goddaughter Rebecca? Brooks has become the scapegoat for Britain's 'wiretapping' and faces at least fifteen years in prison.

Subsequently, the Fox Group took the initiative to expose a list, claiming to include Roger? Albert, David? Professional film critics such as Denby and J.R. Jones were influenced by the former CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Tom Jones, in attacking "Avatar". At Rothman's command, the Fox Group has dismissed Tom? All Rothman's positions. and sincerely apologized to the crew of "Avatar" for this matter.

Former well-known film critics wouldn't admit it, but Fox presented a list of bills and transfers with seven-figure sums of money going to Roger? In Albert's studio account, not only that, but Twentieth Century Fox also exposed the eighties and nineties of the last century with Roger? Albert and other professional film critics have private dealings.

Yes, this was Ryan's request, and it was also Murdoch who did it on purpose, and after these revelations were exposed, most of the public's attention shifted to film critics. From a considerable amount of Cheng dù, the pressure on News Corp. has been weakened.

Professional film critics have once again become the center of the film industry, but unfortunately their reputation has become stinky.

"It turns out that they have never even achieved relative justice......"

"I'll never trust film critics again."

"Like Ryan and James? As Cameron said, professional film critics are a bunch of greedy vampires! ”

The crowd on the Internet was excited. Professional film critics are directly equated with liars, moths, and disgusting vampires.

A profession that once stirred up the film market has completely embarked on the twilight of the sunset, and the profession of professional film critic has become spurned by the public, and the future will inevitably be the film era of mass commentary.

Also in this month. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also convened a press conference to announce the cancellation of the Roger ? Albert, David? Denby led a group of film and television critics, and claimed that they were the unwelcome figures of the Oscars.

This is extremely rare in the history of the Academy. Take Roger? Professional film critics led by Albert can be regarded as writing into the history of Hollywood.

Maybe it's stimulated by the successive blows, or maybe it's the recurrence of an old illness, a few days later, Roger? Albert's condition suddenly worsened, but in one night, he said goodbye to the world.

Ling Roger? Albert's family was relieved that thousands of fans attended Roger? Albert's funeral, but the scene that happened at the funeral made them stunned and angry, and the vast majority of fans were shocked and angry about Roger? Albert gave a thumbs up, but the direction of the thumb was towards the ground!

Among them, the words written on the Optimus Prime posters held up by some "Transformers" fans most appropriately reflect the feelings of ordinary fans about Roger? Albert's perception.

"You never mind attacking him with the most vicious language for years of hard work, and you are like an insatiable mosquito, in the dirtiest and most vile way, lying on his stomach and sucking the blood of others, while mocking those who have provided you with blood!"

Of course, this is all a spontaneous behavior of fans, and even if Ryan and Disney have time, they will not continue to worry about such a group of small people, a group of people who are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of North American films.

After the official acquisition of Lucasfilm, Walt Disney ushered in one good news after another.

After nearly half a year of screening, the North American box office of "Avatar" officially exceeded 800 million US dollars, and it was dropped from North America with 811.13 million US dollars, and in terms of global box office, the terrifying figure of 3 billion US dollars is not the end, and "Avatar" is still slowly reaping the last trace of profits in some remote countries and regions.

As a follower of "Avatar", "Alice in Wonderland" has grossed more than $350 million in North America and easily crossed the $1 billion threshold at the global box office.

In short, stimulated by this series of good news, Disney's stock price rose rapidly, and by the end of April, Disney's overall market value had risen to more than $103 billion, with an absolute advantage, sitting firmly on the throne of the world's largest media group in terms of market capitalization.

On the side of News Corp. and Fox Corporation, although they have retained their vitality, they are in trouble, and if it is placed in the sixties and seventies of the last century, I am afraid that several of Murdoch's sons and daughters will go to buy murder.

After eating Lucasfilm, Disney will definitely not give up on the "Star Wars" series, and the preliminary preparations for the seventh "Star Wars" film will soon kick off.

Most of Lucasfilm is a high-quality asset such as Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, but there is also no shortage of chicken ribs such as Lucasfilm and Lucasgames, which were promoted by Ryan and also optimized their industries on the basis of retaining a certain degree of independence, and Lucasfilm and Lucasgames were sold to Summit Entertainment by Disney for a package price of $95 million.

The animation of "Star Wars" was transferred to DreamWorks Animation Studios.

Ryan himself and Walt Disney are undoubtedly the winners of this war, not only successfully weakening the strongest competitor, Disney also got what he wanted, more than a dozen foundations of his own, and even shorted News Corp. stock, and obtained a huge amount of money.

"Daddy! Father! Sandy ran all the way into the garden.

Her curly blonde hair was neatly tied back with a large bow, and under her smooth and fair forehead were deep eye sockets, one of which was as bright as a star.

Sandy ran to Ryan against the Malibu sea breeze and pointed to Taylor who was following behind, "Sister said we defeated the bad guys, is that true?" ”

"That's right, the big bad guy surrendered and threw in the towel." Picking up his daughter, Ryan put her on the small chair beside him, lowered his head and kissed his little forehead, "Honey, he lost a lot of things to Dad, and these will belong to you and your sister in the future." ”

"What is it?" The little guy blinked quickly and asked curiously, "Is it fun?" Can you eat it? ”

"Enough for you to buy the best toys and the most delicious candy in the world." Taylor walked over and sat down next to Nicole, "Dear Sanny. ”

"Oh......"

Sandy, who was about to be four years old, didn't have a specific concept, and bit her fingers and pondered for a while, "Shall we have a pie duì to celebrate, Taylor?" ”

"Honey, who do you want to invite?"

Nicole, who had been drinking tea, put down her teacup, "I can help you call." ”

"Hmm...... Epple, Lily. ”

Hearing Nicole's words, the little one immediately jumped out of the chair and happily ran to his mother's side, "Elizabeth, Terres ......"

Her little mouth popped out the names of many people, most of them were the children of Ryan and Nicole's friends.

"Elsa." Ryan said to the housekeeper sitting on the other side, "Prepare a children's pie, Sunny hasn't seen April and Lily in a long time." ”

After saying that, Ryan looked at Taylor again, "You can call Scarlett, along with your other friends." ”

"Scarlett isn't in Los Angeles."

Seeing that Ryan was a little surprised, Taylor said again, "You busy man must have forgotten about it, "The Avengers" is about to be released, and Scarlett is not like you always have privileges, she and the crew are running announcements and promoting all over the world." ”

Unconsciously, it turned out that another summer file was about to kick off.

In recent months, Ryan has been busy dealing with Murdoch and News Corp., almost completely putting the film business aside, and as the chairman of Disney, no one will come to him to cooperate with the crew.

"That ......" Taylor scratched his face, "will the matter between me and Scarlett affect the movie?" ”

"Don't worry." Ryan picked up the juice from the table and handed it to Sandy, "Surprise has made some changes to Black Widow, there will definitely be some impact, but it's all a minor issue. (To be continued......)
