Perhaps when the incident just began, Rupert Murdoch believed that with the strength of News Corp, the controversy could be quelled in a short time on the basis of paying a not-so-large price. After all, they are also old media companies with strong strength.

Although News Group, including the assets of each branch in 2008, ranked far behind Relativity Entertainment Group, the ranking of the Top 500 and the company's valuation sometimes does not indicate the true strength of a company.

Rupert Murdoch has been in business for many years and has a mixed relationship network, which is also one of his confidence.

However, the scale of the eavesdropping sect exposed exceeded the initial estimates, which led to the danger of celebrities and celebrities in Britain and the political and business circles.

News Corp not only crossed the bottom line of this society that is already infinitely low, but also hurt the nerves of too many big names.

As time goes by, the Murdoch family and News Corp are in an increasingly unfavorable situation, especially after several large investment institutions on Wall Street joined the carnival, the stock price that directly reflects the value of a listed company plummeted. By late March, News Corp's total market value had fallen to less than $46 billion.

Whether it is News Corp or Twentieth Century Fox, a subsidiary, some shareholders are considering getting out as soon as possible while expressing their anger to the Murdoch family.

In the reception room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, Robert Eiger met with the third shareholder of Twentieth Century Fox this week.

"Mr. Motterson, what are you thinking about?"

Robert Eiger asked someone to send coffee, looked at the middle-aged man who issued the Mediterranean, and said: "I believe you know better than me about the situation in News Corp. The market and investors have lost confidence."

William Motson was obviously hesitating: "News Corporation will not collapse, the difficulties are only temporary, and every company will encounter some unexpected situations. I believe News Corporation can overcome the difficulties."

Robert Iger asked back: "Is the situation not clear enough now?" He always had a smile on his face, as if he was a kind old man: "There are as many as thousands of victims, and how many celebrities from both the political and business circles are there? The British government has only issued an investigation report and has not made any suggestions for the time being. What if News Corp is forced to sell Sky TV and other British media? The United States is still under investigation, and the final punishment will not be lighter than that of the UK. Will the Washington authorities, the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission completely split News Corp. This may not be missing."

These words fell into his ears, and William Motterson's expression became more and more serious.

Robert Iger said directly: "Also, my boss, Mr. Ronan Anderson, is one of the victims, is extremely angry at News Corp and the Murdoch family. As the richest man in the world and a super rich man with a net worth of $200 billion, if News Corp and the U.S. government cannot give a suitable explanation, I cannot guarantee that he can do anything. If Mr. Ronan Anderson really wants to spend money, how long can News Corp hold on with the current situation?"

William Motson pinched the beard on his face and said the most critical point: "Your Relative Theory Entertainment's bid is too low. With your bid, if I transfer the shares, the business will be compensated."

Robert Iger smiled and said, "But continue to persist, you may lose more. Even if this matter subsides, News Corporation will find it difficult to get out of the predicament for a long time in the future. This is even likely to be the turning point of News Corporation's decline from prosperity."

William Motson is seriously considering Robert Iger's words.

"Wall Street is shorting News Corp and Twentieth Century Fox," Robert Iger continued: "Anyone who knows the stock market can see this. The longer the time pushes, the lower the stock price will be. Now that the economy in the United States and even the world is in a downturn, how many companies are willing to spend huge sums of money to buy shares that have plummeted in 20th Century Fox?"

His voice was quite gentle: "Mr. Motterson, when we talk about it next week, it will not be the current price, but the market price at that time."

The two sides met several times and had a long conversation. Robert Iger knew very well that as far as William Motterson was concerned, it was time to close the net.

William Motterson pondered for a moment and said, "Please allow me to think about it for a while."

Robert Iger smiled and said, "This is your freedom. Relativity Entertainment will not force any partner, but we cannot pay a price that is not equal to our value."

"Tomorrow!" William Motterson thought of the entire News Group, the stock market plummeted, and said: "I will definitely give you a clear answer tomorrow morning."

Robert Iger said: "Okay, hope we can reach a cooperation."

The two shook hands, William Motson said goodbye and left, and Robert Eiger returned to the suite office to continue the work. When the sun approached the western horizon, he came to a restaurant on the second floor of the hotel to dine with people from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

The next day, Robert Iger received good news, and William Motson decided to accept the offer from Relativity Entertainment to transfer nearly three percent of Fox's equity.

The rest was left to the professional team to handle, and Robert Eiger continued to discuss transactions with other shareholders.

At this moment, there is no need to hide your goals at all.

The entire group company is operating efficiently, and Ronan's entire energy is also focused on this acquisition. He did not even attend the premiere of the new film "The Soldiers" produced by Jessica Felton in late March.

The premiere of this female police and gangster comedy film was held in Boston, which is the background of the story. A film that produced only costs $40 million, and North America won $39.88 million on the weekend of painting, which is a box office hit.

Sandra Bullock has been wandering around for more than ten years, and in commercial movies, it seems that the image of a silly sister is the most popular.

Such a pure commercial comedy movie also made another heroine, Melissa McCarthy truly famous. The fat actress who has starred in "Old Friends Are Fat" and "Leftover Women Are Crazy" has a distinct personality.

During the filming of "The Sexy Police Flower", Melissa McCarthy learned about the existence of the "Blacklist Plan" of Relativity Entertainment, and recommended a script she saw when she participated in "Saturday Night Live", called "Brathermaids".

The script has just been completed and is not the work of a genuine screenwriter. The person who created the script is comedy actress Christine Weger.

The actress has a collaboration with Relativity Entertainment and is currently working as a voiceover for a major female character in the animated feature "How to Tame Your Dragon" by Shahai Entertainment Animation Studios.

Jessica Felton took a fancy to the script and quickly reached an agreement with Kristen Weger. Sandhai Entertainment has another brand new film project in comedy movies.

In the gap between filming and producing the next "Fast and Furious" series, Jessica Felton will prepare for the comedy movie.

Just like "The Laughter Police Flower", many comedy movies that seem to be underinvested often make a big splash once they can open up the market.

The success of "The Hot Police" also brought Sandra Brock's career to a turnaround. "Weakness: The Competition Process" has been filmed and will be released this year.

In addition, Sandra Brock also reached an agreement with Sandra Entertainment for the last three film contracts, and will play the leading role in Alfonso Caron's space production "Gravity".

If all these two movies are successful, plus years of experience, Sandra Brock steadily crosses the threshold of A-Cao.

Alfonso Caron's project is still under preparation, and there is still a long time before shooting begins.

In contrast, the other two space film projects are progressing faster, and Embassy Film has finalized the schedule for "The Mars Rescue", just in October this year.

After Christopher Nolan completed "The Dark Knight Rises", he has fully entered the preparations for "Interstellar". This space epic will soon enter the shooting stage and is tentatively scheduled to be released in 2011.

Embassy Films has developed a special distribution strategy for three space films, typically one released every other year.

At the same time, Relativity Entertainment has also completed several important actor contracts, but they are basically from the Marvel series.

After several months of contact negotiations, South African Diamond Charlize Theron officially signed a long contract with Marvel Entertainment, and will play Captain Marvel Carol Danvers for a long time in the future.

This is a 1.8-meter-high female character in the comics. With the characteristics of Charlize Theron, it is not a problem to control such a character.

Marvel Entertainment also reached an agreement with Nicholas Cage that the actor, who has become the king of bad movies, will play Doctor Strange.

Ronan doesn't remember the name that British actor once had a difficult name, so he naturally wouldn't spend manpower and material resources to find it specifically.

Also, Chris Pratt, who has been in Hollywood for many years and has been lukewarm, also signed a long-term contract with Marvel Entertainment to play the role of Star Lord, the King of Dance.

This can be regarded as one of the most vegan superheroes in the Avengers movie universe.

New York, Kennedy Airport.

Rupert Murdoch, who had just attended a special hearing in the UK, returned to the United States by private plane. The increasingly severe storm in Britain and the United States made him exhausted.

Especially James Murdoch, the environment he grew up since childhood was too good, and he couldn't see it when he was in good times, but when he was in bad times, he realized that it was really useless.

Rupert Murdoch, accompanied by his wife, walked and asked the people who came to greet him: "How is the situation in the United States?"

The middle-aged executive immediately said: "An hour ago, Relativity Entertainment just sent us a routine notice that they completed transactions with several Fox shareholders, who already held 14% of Fox shares."

Hearing this, Rupert Murdoch couldn't help but stop and said a little heavy: "It turns out to be the worst."
