The annual Oscars ceremony came to an end again. This past award night belonged to Natalie and her shooting team. They swept through the big and small awards of the Oscars like a storm. The two little golden men, Best Director and Best Actress, also created a new Oscar legend.~~~~

However, even such explosive Oscar news cannot completely occupy the front page of the media. The constantly fermenting news group's "eavesdropping gate" has successively refreshed the public's perception of this media company.

When the new Monday arrived, the FBI released a latest investigation report on News Corp. It pointed out that News Corp not only eavesdropped on the families of 911 victims, families of US soldiers killed in battle, and several members of Congress, but also suspected of eavesdropping on the phone calls of O'Haitan election team during the presidential election...

The incident gradually involved many senior officials in the government. At the regular press conference, a White House spokesperson even urged the FBI to launch a more in-depth investigation as soon as possible.

It was in this case that Ryan left Los Angeles.

He went to Washington first and visited O'Haitan and several members of Congress in private.

Then he flew to London, attended a reception party for the British royal family, and met Gordon Brown, the owner of No. 10 Downing Street.

Ryan is in action, and Murdoch is no exception. News Group has stepped up its efforts in crisis public relations and wants to save itself.

But what happened next made News Corp's situation even more difficult.

A week later, Sean Hall, the main whistleblower of the "Eavesdropping Gate" incident, died at home by the former executive of the News of the World, and Scotland Yard arrested James Murdoch and Rebecca Brooks again. Although the police proved that it was an accident, under the induced by many media, the public naturally linked the death to the murder and silence.

At the same time, the FBI's investigation into Murdoch's right-hand man, Les Hington, has never stopped, facing various pressures. Les Hington was forced to announce his resignation and completely withdrew from News Corp.

Murdoch lost the most important piece to control News Corp.

At this moment, it seems that except for News Corp's own media, everyone else in the world is standing opposite Rupert Murdoch.

Walt Disney is definitely the leader of this public opinion movement, and NBC Global, Viacom, Time Warner, Hurst Group, etc. have also taken the lead in the way.

By the time of the end of March, News Corporation was already in turmoil, and its stock fell by 28% compared to February.

The British Parliament also held its first hearing on the "eavesdropping gate" incident. Murdoch and Wendy Deng were present in person to accept the question. Just as the question was about to end, an accident happened.

During the live broadcast, a man wearing a plaid shirt sitting at the last row of the auditorium suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the witness stand, smashed Murdoch with a paper plate full of shaving foam in his hand.

Everyone else was stunned. No one realized that it was time to stop the attacker, and perhaps no one really wanted to stop it. Murdoch seemed to be frozen in his seat, and the police did not react immediately.

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

This old couple staged a "love show" in front of audiences in the entire Western world during live TV.

After the hearing accident, a large number of reports about Wendi Deng flying to protect her husband soon appeared in some media. Some said Wendi Deng showed extraordinary courage and should be awarded the title of "Wife of the Year"; some said that "Wendi Deng's quick actions dwarfed the slow-responsive police in the court"; and the Guardian, a subsidiary of News Corp., said that she showed the meaning of a model couple at the hearing.

Through TV, the scene of Murdoch's attack was presented to the public, which effectively alleviated the anger of the government and the public towards the eavesdropping incident. The situation faced by Murdoch and News Corp has improved to a certain extent. Some well-known public relations personnel even believed that News Corp recently hired famous American public relations companies to improve their corporate image, which was not as effective as Wendi Deng's slap.

“Very beautiful crisis PR!”

This is Ryan's first reaction after seeing the live broadcast. This kind of scene is OK to deceive the public. In the eyes of industry insiders, it is just a public relations show. Murdoch easily won a lot of sympathy with this move. News Group also praised him and Wendi Deng as a model couple.

"Model couple? Show your love?"

After reading the latest reports, Ryan called George and asked him to send someone to notify Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, that it was time to start.

He never played the cards at once. Rodriguez collected a lot of interesting things. Isn't it very interesting to release them after the Murdoch and his wife showed their affection?

Two days later, the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine published a "collected" Wendi Deng's diary, revealing Wendi Deng's admiration for Blair without reservation.

Wendi Deng wrote several 'sticky love letters' in his diary in broken English, "Oh, damn, damn... Why do I miss Tony so much? He is so charming and dressed very well. He has a good figure, very long legs, and a great buttocks. Not only that, he is also thin and tall, with good skin. I love his blue eyes and his style on stage..."

In addition, Vanity Fair also published several photos.

In the photo, Blair and Wendy Deng feed each other while having dinner at the California farm in Murdoch. The farm servants revealed that they saw Blair enter Wendy Deng's room with their own eyes and closed the door, and he spent the night in her bedroom at least three times.

This news was quickly reprinted by major websites, newspapers, radio and television stations. In less than half a day, it spread all over the world, and the whole world was in an uproar...

The incident of Ryan's illegitimate daughter some time ago was not enough to see Blair's triangle relationship with Wendy Deng and Murdoch.

Then a newspaper pointed out that Wendi Deng and Murdoch were just a show, and that attack was just a public relations behavior of News Corporation, and the whole world was deceived by them.

If someone had doubted whether this was slander, but after News Corp.'s various lies-filled behaviors were exposed, the public no longer believed News Corp.'s media.

Although all three of the parties strongly denied it, Tony Blair was forced to resign from all positions in the Labor Party several days after the "infidelity" broke out, and the latest news broke out in New York newspapers. Murdoch, who was furious, had notified his lawyers to deal with the divorce with Wendi Deng as soon as possible.

After confirming the fact that Murdoch was about to divorce Wendi Deng, George flew to New York in person and secretly met Wendi Deng.

The enemy's enemy is his friend, and Ryan believes that this sentence makes some sense.

According to the prenuptial agreement, Wendi Deng and Murdoch divorced normally and would receive a property of about 30 million US dollars at most. For Wendi Deng, this was already an astronomical figure, but Wendi Deng spent a lot of effort to go abroad to climb to Mrs. Murdoch's position, and this property was far from satisfying her.

Under normal circumstances, even if she has ideas, it will be difficult for her to realize.

But now it is different. Murdoch is facing a dilemma. News Group is almost forced to collapse by its opponents. If she doesn't even know how to use it, then she will not be Wendi Deng.

Sure enough, shortly after meeting with George, Wendi Deng's lawyer held a press conference to confirm the fact that she and Murdoch were about to divorce, and at the same time put forward many demands for dividing the property and would sue it to the law.

Even if Murdoch holds a prenuptial agreement, such divorce cases involving many property and other relationships will inevitably turn into a protracted divorce war, and the intensity will not be less than Murdoch's divorce war with his ex-wife who also signed a prenuptial agreement.

What is more serious than divorce is that as a person next to him, Wendi Deng has mastered a lot of secrets of news groups. Compared with property division, this is the real killer weapon.

Surrounded by strong enemies on the outside, the backyard has already caught fire, this is the situation of Rupert Murdoch.

The crackdown has not yet ended. The UK refused to release bail on James Murdoch and Rebecca Brooks on the premise that it had obtained a lot of evidence, and officially announced that the two had entered the prosecution process...

At this moment, Murdoch could only adopt the tail-breaking tactic, and his son James Murdoch and his goddaughter Rebecca Brooks resigned from all positions in News Corporation one after another.

At this point, all three important pieces used by Murdoch to control News Corporation were knocked out of dust.

Sitting in New York, sitting in a new Manhattan apartment that cost $57.25 million at the beginning of this year, Murdoch had long lost his former spirit. His face was depressed, his eyes drooped, and his eyes were gray, like an ordinary old man who was about to die.

His eyes slowly swept across the luxurious hall, which was purchased at the beginning of the year to celebrate the upcoming acquisition of Lucasfilm, but now it has become a joke.

The famous paintings hanging in the hall, the carpets on the ground, the Italian lighting hanging from the ceiling, and the silver coffee maker in front of them...

In short, all of this suddenly grew a big mouth in Murdoch's eyes, and they were ruthlessly sneering at him!

Screaming him for being overestimated! Screaming him for being complacent! Screaming him for being defeated! Screaming him for becoming a tragic cheater!

Murdoch was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The empire he had built for fifty years was forced to the verge of collapse by a young man who was just thirty years old.

Yes, News Corporation still has strength, News Corporation can still hold on, and even bit Disney hard before collapse...

The question is, is this worth it?

Even if News Corp can bite Disney hard, it will take Disney to return to normal in a few years, but News Corp will fall into hell.
