Rebirth In Hollywood - Chapter 838

“I said, don’t worry about it.”

In the VIP lounge of the Kodak Theater, Ryan whispered to Natalie next to him, “Disney is like a strong spring. The force it bounces back will be as hard as it is pressed.”

“I have always believed in you.” Natalie’s face was relaxed.

“How about your PR?” Ryan asked.

During this period of time, Ryan had no time to take care of him, and had been busy with the layout of News Corp. Oscar public relations were completely handed over to Natalie and Harvey Weinstein.

“I believe the judges have been intimidated by the two figures of US$792 million and US$2.898 billion.”

The person who came by was James Cameron. Although he was a competitor, he didn’t care, “I don’t know if those old stubborn groups will take a look at science fiction movies.”

In fact, he knows very well that cg animations and science fiction films alone are enough to kill the possibility of “Avatar” winning. If it were not for the unprecedented North American and global box office records, I am afraid they would not pay any attention to “Avatar”.

What choice would the old guys at Oscar make? James Cameron could figure it out with his toes. Now the Hurt Locker, which has a box office of only $17 million, is simply in line with their aesthetic standards and value orientation.

The three people got together and said a few words, and James Cameron was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, “I’m waiting to witness the moment when history appears.”

There is still some time before the award ceremony begins. Ryan and Natalie are not eager to enter the theater’s main hall, socializing to those who come to say hello, and chatting about recent events.

“Although I always think Alison and Scarlett are a little strange.”

Speaking of those two friends for many years, Natalie looked weird, “I didn’t expect it. They…”

She waved her hand, as if she didn’t know what to say.

“I hope it won’t affect their careers.”

Despite what he said, Ryan still understood. It is impossible to have no influence, but fortunately, both of them are rich in net worth. Acting and singing are more of interest and do not rely on income in this area.

After a few words, George Clooney came over with a gentleman, and after greeting him, he said directly, “Ryan, I have some friends in politics, if you need help. Just talk. “

“If there is a need, I will.” Ryan casually polite.

This is Hollywood, just like the overwhelming media that criticizes News Corp. When he needs help the most, those who stand by him are those who have been tested for many years. Most of them are acting as spectators or getting into trouble. When he had the upper hand, these people rushed to him and sold it.

Ryan couldn’t figure out that this was the first person to speak out to help today.

This is normal, in essence, including the original “Argo”. Both he and George Clooney are taking advantage of each other and getting what they need.

“The Murdochs are here.”

Just as George Clooney left, Natalie reminded Ryan.

Ryan followed Natalie’s eyes, Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng were walking towards this side. The young Wendi Deng was okay, but a little tired. The old Murdoch had puffy eye bags and bloodshot eyes, like a criminal who had gone through the FBI and repeated interrogations.

These are just appearances, and Ryan knows very well that if Murdoch can’t be completely suppressed, the opponent will become a man-eating wolf again after the other party slows down.

From the moment the Murdoch couple appeared in the VIP lounge. Many people’s eyes were focused on him and Ryan, and those in the circle actually saw it very clearly. The ups and downs that lasted from a few months ago to the present are the struggle between these two men.

Stand not far away. George Clooney suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, his own power did not join the industry that suppressed Disney, otherwise…

Who would have thought that in the face of almost desperate difficulties, Ryan could even display such counterattacks, and firmly grasped the vitals of News Corp.

Even though he was many years older, George Clooney admired Ryan’s methods very much, and Murdoch was not unjustly lost in this round.

“Can you take a step to speak, Ryan.”

Perhaps Murdoch himself did not expect that in such a short period of time, he said something similar again.

“of course.”

Ryan’s face was indifferent, without the joy or pride of a winner.

Tilting his head, Ryan leaned in Natalie’s ear, “You can go in first, I’ll be there later.”

Seeing Natalie nodding slightly, Ryan followed behind the Murdoch couple, exited the VIP room, turned into a corridor, and entered a separate lounge.

Although the person meeting was Murdoch, his bodyguard followed.

There was no politeness on both sides, and they sat on two long sofas and fell into a brief silence.

Even if he takes advantage of it, Ryan will not take it lightly. He never underestimates his opponent, let alone Rupert Murdoch.

Murdoch didn’t know how to speak. Just ten days ago, they were sitting relative to each other. At that time, he had the advantage, like a cat playing with a mouse, controlling the scene with ease. Now the situation… …But completely converted.

He has become a mouse, and the other is the cat that can stretch out its paws at any time!

The difference is that Ryan Jenkins is as calm as the rumors, and there is no joy or anger in that indifferent face.

The silence lasted for half a minute, and finally Murdoch took the initiative to break the deadlock.

“Ryan…” His voice was extremely slow. It seemed that he had consumed most of his mind during the recent period, “News Corporation withdrew from the competition in Lucasfilm.”

Ryan shook his head slowly.

“Pelicano, the editor-in-chief of the New York Post…” Murdoch thought for a while and added some people, “and those professional film critics who always attack you.”

Yes, just like the competition between most groups of this magnitude, the two sides will definitely return to the negotiating table in the end, but the time is definitely not now!

So Ryan still shook his head.

There was silence in the lounge again, and this quiet atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Murdoch’s hand was shaking slightly, he had already taken the initiative to lower his head, what else would he want?

But thinking about the attitudes of the British and American governments and mainstream society towards News Corporation, thinking that the Disney-led media is still fanning the flames, thinking that News Corporation has fallen 20% in market value, he can only continue to bow his head.

“Your terms.” Murdoch seemed to be ten years old, “Ryan, talk about it.”

“Mr. Murdoch!” Ryan’s words were full of distance. “You haven’t understood one thing yet.”

“What’s the matter?” Murdoch had to ask.

“From the day News Corp. targeted my sister and daughter…”

Ryan stood up, his face still indifferent, “This matter is no longer a simple business competition, there is still… private enmity!”

After speaking, he left the lounge without looking back, leaving only the Murdoch couple with an indifferent back.

“What does he want to do?”

After the door of the lounge was closed, Wendi Deng said dissatisfied, “Want to start a full-scale war with News Corp?”

Murdoch glanced at her, and Wendi Deng closed his mouth quickly.

If the only opponent is Disney, Murdoch will not be afraid. Although News Corporation has encountered far more trouble than Disney, it is still a powerful media group.

But the question is, his opponent is really only Disney?

The people of the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the faintly inclined governments of the two countries, do not say that other media groups that are swayed by the wind will definitely be as unlucky as they were happy to see Disney. The competition showed signs of decline. These guys and the group of vampires on Wall Street will inevitably rush up like sharks smelling blood. Under the leadership of Disney, they will tear News Corporation into delicious meat and swallow them without hesitation. Go inside.

With the current situation facing News Corporation, how to deal with that group of greedy sharks?

Especially within the group, a group of his trusted senior executives were investigated by Scotland Yard and the FBI. According to the situation he understands, it is very difficult for these people to completely break free from the accident. As a result, he controls the group. The intensity will be greatly reduced, and the internal opposition will certainly rise.

Without thinking about it, Murdoch knew that even if the investigation on the ‘Eavesdropping Door’ was over, News Corp. would be greeted by a long period of internal fighting.

Thinking of this, Murdoch leaned on the sofa and did not speak for a long time. This time he felt like he was really old.

By now, he already wanted to understand the general course of the incident.

Facing News Corp’s aggressive offensive, Disney…No, Ryan himself, to be precise, dug a big hole directly. Not only did he not realize it, he thought everything was under control, so he obediently jumped in, and now he fell. Destroyed.

“Activate all crisis public relations methods.” Murdoch said to Wendi Deng, “strive to be in a more advantageous position before the next negotiation ~www.mtlnovel.com~.”

The two were not in the mood to attend the Oscars, and left the Kodak Theater with tense faces.

In the Kodak Theater, the eighty-second Oscars ceremony has kicked off. Ryan did not enter the theater immediately after leaving the lounge. Instead, he took John into another lounge and told the bodyguards something. Until John left, he rested for a while before he walked into the theater and found his place while the singing and dancing on the stage attracted most of the people’s attention.

Just sitting down, Natalie next to her cast a questioning look. Ryan shook her head slightly at her and gave her a relieved look.

“Did I miss something?” he asked in a low voice.

“We have got the best original screenplay and the best editing.”

Hearing Natalie’s words, Ryan smiled relaxedly, “This is really good news.” (to be continued)
