The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 1137: dignity

Compared to the rainy weather in New York, Los Angeles is sunny, and the midday in March has already brought a hint of heat.

In the Beverly Hills Clubhouse, the breeze wafted from the windows, bringing in the slightest coolness, giving people a comfortable feeling just right.

Ronan was on his home site today and received the Rupert Murdoch and his party from New York. When they first met, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, as if they had not seen each other for many years.

Rupert Murdoch shook hands with Ronan and Jessica Felton, their faces gradually becoming serious.

Ronan calmly faced that this dialogue seemed to be Rupert Murdoch's choice, but it was actually the result that Rupert Murdoch had to choose under constant pressure from Relativity Entertainment and its partners.

"Jesse." Ronan kept a polite smile: "You take Mrs. Murdoch to visit our clubhouse."

Rupert Murdoch nodded slightly to the Chinese woman next to him, and this Mrs. Murdoch followed Jessica Felton out.

After becoming Ronan's girlfriend, Jessica Felton's social skills have greatly improved, and she soon found a common topic with that Mrs. Murdoch.

Jessica Felton knows something about the other side of the Pacific because of Ronan. Mrs. Murdoch was born and grew up on the other side of the Pacific. When she heard Jessica Felton talk about the East, she did not shy away from this topic.

The two sides are enemies and not friends, but they still maintain the surface peace. Moreover, it is the two people who stay in the room that really decides the relationship between the two sides.

In the room, after the two women left, the atmosphere gradually stagnated.

Rupert Murdoch didn’t mean to go in circles, and he said directly: “I don’t know about James Murdoch’s eavesdropping on you and Miss Felton. If I knew it, I would definitely prevent such stupid behavior. ."

Ronan believes that this is somewhat true, because huge amounts of money in this country may be more useful than members of Congress.

The consequences of rashly eavesdropping on a super rich man are even more serious.

"For this matter, on behalf of Fox, on behalf of News Corporation, on behalf of the Murdoch family, I apologize to you." Rupert Murdoch's words sounded quite sincere: "Ronan, to you and Miss Felton I am extremely sorry for the infringement encountered, and News Corporation and I will compensate."

When the stock prices of News Corp. and Twentieth Century Fox plunged, Relativity Entertainment took a large amount of equity in Fox. Even without any evidence, Rupert Murdoch could confirm certain things.

But he couldn't just give up Fox like this.

With these words, Rupert Murdoch almost bowed to Ronan and Relativity Entertainment. At the same time, he also hopes that this matter can be solved with attitude and pure funds.

Ronan was not at all complacent because of Robert Murdoch’s words, and said: "Rupert, I can accept your apology." He is not nonsense: "But how do you plan to compensate James Murdoch for me and The huge damage Jesse caused."

Hearing that Relativity Entertainment took action against Fox, Rupert Murdoch really determined the key to the incident. He came here today to solve the problem, so there is no excuse and argument, because it doesn't make any sense.

This question is not easy to answer. Rupert Murdoch finally said slowly: "Ronan, what compensation do you want?"

Ronan smiled: "Rupert, since you apologized, of course you came here with sincerity?"

Rupert Murdoch knew that he had to pay a certain price if he wanted to solve the biggest pusher behind the crisis, but he did not answer immediately and was silent for a while, which seemed very embarrassing.

"George Lucas and I have been friends for many years. We met in San Francisco some time ago." Rupert Murdoch was also fully prepared: "I heard him talk about one thing, and the Relativity Entertainment was successful. After the acquisition of Lucasfilm, it is planned to restart the "Star Wars" film series and take back all copyrights of the series."

Ronan nodded slightly: "There is such a thing."

Rupert Murdoch continued: "I am a fan of the Star Wars series, and I wanted to see new Star Wars movies released earlier. I know that Relativity Entertainment and Lucasfilm may be stuck with copyright issues... Well, how about this. As the distributor of the "Star Wars" series of films, Twentieth Century Fox waives all rights and interests in this series, including the copyright of "Star Wars: A New Hope", and unconditionally return them to Lucasfilm. industry."

This condition sounds very good, but it is a pity that the theory of relativity entertainment has a broader picture. Ronan did not take Rupert Murdoch’s words, but said: "Rupert, can you think of it? According to AT&T technical inquiry and federal investigation The bureau’s investigation revealed that as early as 2004, someone started wiretapping my estate. Over four years, how many of my phones were tapped, and how many important decisions of Relativity Entertainment were leaked as a result?"

Rupert Murdoch understands that this is an unsatisfactory condition.

Ronan’s voice was calm: “Relativity Entertainment used to be interested in four or five major production movie projects, such as live-action movies based on the Prince of Egypt, Roland Emmerich’s Ten Thousand Years Before History, and the sequel to Terminator. There is also the storm disaster movie project. These projects were originally initiated or cooperated with by Relativity Entertainment, but in the end all fell into the hands of 20th Century Fox."

He increased his tone: "What does this mean? These vital business information has been leaked for some reason!"

Rupert Murdoch knew about these movie projects, and also listened to James Murdoch's introduction, it seems that the source is really related to the relativistic entertainment.

But he would not admit it. Instead, he said: "Ronan, these movies have all failed, and each one has produced huge losses."

"Film failure is not a reason to evade responsibility." Ronan said coldly.

Rupert Murdoch pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "However, the loss of Relativity Entertainment was avoided, and the result is always good."

Ronan couldn't help but sneered: "Rupert, you are not a layman for the film industry. Don't you know that the same film project in the hands of Relativity Entertainment and me may not be 20th Century Fox? result."

He did not wait for Rupert-Murdoch’s answer: “Today, on behalf of the Murdoch family, on behalf of News Corporation, on behalf of Fox, you apologize to Jesse and me and propose to give up the copyright of the "Star Wars" series as compensation. He Jesse can accept your apology and accept your compensation. However, due to the leakage of information, the loss of projects caused by the information leakage, and a series of problems caused by Relativity Entertainment, should Fox and News Corporation also give corresponding explanations?"

Listening to this person's almost shameless splitting of one incident into two, Rupert Murdoch's emotions are somewhat agitated. Why are young people now so dark?

Perhaps Rupert Murdoch has never considered using "eavesdropping"...

However, the situation is compelling, especially the investigations in the United Kingdom and the United States. Under the pressure of many people and driven by the powerful financial power behind it, News Corporation is facing the most severe situation since Australia entered the international market.

Rupert Murdoch took a look at Ronan and slowly said: "Fox and Relativity Entertainment have a lawsuit that lasted for a long time. It is also the source of a series of conflicts between us. In order to show our sincerity and solve our problems completely. I can make major concessions on behalf of Fox."

He let out a sigh of relief and said: "Including "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four", all 20th Century Fox superhero characters from Marvel comics, all copyrights return to Marvel Entertainment. In addition, The planned related film and television projects were immediately stopped, and there will be no sequels for those that have already started shooting."

"Marvel's children go home, this is what everyone wants to see." Ronan changed his words: "The copyright of these comic superheroes is inherently disputed, otherwise there will be no litigation. Lu. Bert, you can't use some assets that belong to Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment to compensate Relativity Entertainment, right?"

Rupert Murdoch's face gradually tightened, and his expression instantly became serious: "Ronan, I came with sincerity today, don't you consider the sincerity of the Murdoch family and News Corporation at all? Don't consider one Is the dignity of the elderly in their seventies?"

Ronan also became serious: "Dignity? When the eavesdropping happened, did you consider my dignity? When you used the news of the eavesdropping to steal the Relativity entertainment project, did you consider the dignity of all the employees of Relativity Entertainment? Having trampled all the dignity of me and Relativity Entertainment on the ground, but let us accept sincerity?"

"Although News Corp is facing difficulties, the foundation is still there." Rupert Murdoch gave the sweet date and began to show the big stick: "Ronan, do you really want to hurt both sides?"

Ronan couldn't help laughing: "I have never underestimated News Corporation, let alone the Murdoch family, and Relativity Entertainment may not be an opponent of News Corporation. But why does Relativity Entertainment face News Corporation alone?"

This reminded Rupert Murdoch~www.NovelMTL.com~ Relativity Entertainment is the biggest driving force behind it, but it has united a large number of people, otherwise the large investment institutions on Wall Street will not short-sell Fox and News Corp.

Also, Relativity Entertainment has obviously received political support from Washington.

James, the bastard, has kept the big figures in the political and business circles away from News Corp. It will take a long time for the Murdoch family to restore the network of contacts.

Now, who wants to take the initiative to approach News Corporation and the Murdoch family? Who wants to help them?

In the eyes of those people, they may be one of the eavesdroppers, because too many celebrities from all walks of life have fallen.

Rupert Murdoch could not help but feel a headache when he thought of this. How could he not know that News Corp used eavesdropping? This strategy is the default.

But even he was a little surprised, the eavesdropping involved so many people and so many forces.
