Chapter 544： Murdoch

"Ryan, the mashed potatoes here are very good, the taste is unique..."

Before Natalie's words were finished, the little blonde curly hair swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke, "It seems to have added beef sauce, Ryan, don't you want something?"

"Honey, do I need a copy for you?"

Nicole, who was sitting next to the little guy, looked over and didn't need Ryan to answer. She took the idea, beckoned to the waiter, and said, "Here is a mashed potato."

The dinner lasted for a while, and things did not slip into the irreversible abyss as Ryan imagined. The gap between Nicole and Natalie was very obvious. Unless necessary, the two would barely talk to each other. If it weren't for Tyler, they would probably not sit at a table to eat.

Although watching Natalie whisper a few words to Ryan from time to time, Nicole didn't take it to heart. After all, the two had been in friendship for ten years. If they deliberately kept a distance in front of them, that would be a problem.

Natalie knew very well that when she grew up, especially in North Hollywood, Nicole Kidman had opinions about herself, but she was a proud person. The object of her relationship was Ryan, not him. 'S sister, and Ryan has long been fucked.

As for Ryan, it doesn’t seem to be any different from usual, and he often jokes with Tyler, but his heart is not as calm as on the surface. If Nicole and Natalie really find out, they won’t quarrel at all. , I am afraid I can only make a few transparent holes in my body with the stainless steel knife in my hand.

Perhaps greedy people should really go to hell? Despite thinking so in his heart, Ryan didn't want to give up any of them.

A current Oscar queen, a future Oscar queen, and a new generation of Hollywood actors who are recognized as the best acting performers. These three super acting groups really have all their strengths at this moment, and not only others can’t see what they are. As far as I can think, I am afraid that I have been blinded by my acting skills.

"How long will it take for your scene to be completed?" Put down the knife in his hand. Nicole asked Ryan.

"Soon." Ryan also put down the tableware.

Although there is still some time before the film is closed, the scenes belonging to Spearman are almost finished, and the scenes he is watching do not require Ryan to be present. The post-editing is enough to handle all of this.

"Is there something going on next?" He knew very well that since Nicole asked so, there was probably something to deal with by herself.

"Rupert Murdoch sent an invitation, I hope we will go to New York to attend his wedding early next month." Nicole flipped through her handbag and handed Ryan a very formal wedding invitation. "Also, George called and invited to the premiere of "Phantom Menace" in New York."

As she said, her eyes drifted from Natalie's face subconsciously, and the Long Island girl was still tasting her dinner quietly.

"Murdoch seems to have just settled the divorce case, right?"

This divorce case is a protracted lawsuit. Unexpectedly, he regained his singleness, and Murdoch was about to enter the palace of marriage again.

"It is said that he was an invitation to the outside world the day after the formal divorce." Nicole frowned and said gossiping, "Just why did he choose that woman?"

"I heard Rupert wants to enter the media industry on the other side." Ryan shook his head and said. "Over there, human relationships often play a key role."

"He has great ambitions." Nicole sighed with emotion.

Ambition? Ryan smiled, Murdoch in the previous life still wants to acquire Time Warner.

"Do you think he will succeed? After all, Deng has changed his nationality." Because of Ryan's interest, Nicole knew a little bit about there.

"Absolutely impossible."

If Murdoch chooses Wendi Deng to really open the door to the media industry on the other side, it is just wishful thinking.

"Hey, Ryan, Nicole. What are you talking about? Can you say I can understand." Taylor couldn't understand what the two men were talking about, and couldn't help protesting.

"I haven't lost the jet lag, it's time to go to rest."

Listening to these unrelated topics, Natalie yawned a little, stood up and nodded to the other side, "Goodbye. Nicole."

"Goodbye, Nat." Nicole also just nodded.

...

In early May 1999, all the media in the United States and even the entire Western world turned their attention to a private dock in New York, a super giant in the media industry. Rupert Murdoch, the controller of News Corp, entered the marriage palace again only 17 days after the divorce agreement with his ex-wife took effect.

The most surprising thing is that the Jewish tycoon chose a Chinese bride.

Well, this is not too unexpected, after all, since more than a year ago, the other party has become Murdoch's public lover.

Is there really love between the two? Or is this the beginning of another grand strategy for Murdoch, as imagined by those on Wall Street?

Perhaps only time and God can prove it.

With this thought in mind, Ryan took Nicole and embarked on Murdoch’s private yacht Mourning Gloria. The wedding of Wendy Deng and Rupert Murdoch will be held on the yacht. .

"Congratulations, Rupert. Congratulations, Deng."

After stepping onto the spacious deck of the yacht, Ryan and Nicole sent congratulations, because they just arrived back from Warsaw, they arrived late.

"Help me entertain Nicole, I have something to discuss with Ryan."

Even at his own wedding, this old man could not forget his ambition and empire. After watching Wendi Deng accompanied Nicole to the female guest area, he and Ryan walked to the fore deck with fewer people, "Ryan , You are the most popular movie star in Hollywood in the Far East."

"It's just a bit famous, and I can't talk about the most popular." Ryan knew what the Far East meant by his mouth.

"Remaining on a Deserted Island" entered the film market on the other side after the New Year. Compared with "Saving Private Ryan" introduced in the same period, it can only be described as rushing to the street.

"Are you interested in cooperating?" Murdoch smiled and shook his head. If the other party is just a Hollywood superstar, where would he specifically invite him to come here.

"Rupert..." Ryan asked tentatively, "Do you want to enter the media industry over there?"

"Are you interested?" Murdoch turned the glass in his hand as if to remind, "That's a market of more than one billion people."

Ryan held his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other hand. The long black hair hanging over his shoulders swayed slightly with the sea breeze. It seems that we are really considering feasibility.

In fact, he made a decision the first time Murdoch spoke about cooperation.

Rupert Murdoch’s plan is obvious, he wants to make him a figure with strong influence in the Far East. Pushed to the front desk to become the spokesperson of News Corp. His marriage to Wendi Deng is part of a huge plan, and cooperation with himself is also part of it.

If his plan can be successful, even if the investment that he participates in the cooperation will be eaten by News Corporation, it is nothing compared to the income that can be obtained.

The question is, can News Corp and Rupert Murdoch succeed?

There is no doubt that Rupert Murdoch’s strategies in the United Kingdom and the United States have achieved great success, but the other side is a completely different country...

If Ryan grew up entirely from the West, he might really be excited. After all, that market is too attractive, but he knew that News Corp’s plan was just wishful thinking.

"Sorry, Rupert." Ryan put down the hand that was holding his chin and said slowly. "You know, Surprise is starting a big series. Jenkins Pictures has invested in several major productions at the same time. My funds are very tight..."

This is true. If you only look at the income on the surface, most of the money Ryan made will soon be invested in the next plan. There is really not much liquidity.

"That's a shame."

Although no intention was reached, in the past few years, the cooperation between the two parties has been quite pleasant. Murdoch patted his arm and said, "Well, I wish you all the next movies will sell well."

Seeing the figure disappearing above the foredeck, Ryan shook his head. After a few years, News Corp. will be a big quagmire. If it involves them too deeply, it will be difficult to say that it will not affect you.

I will have a series of plans next, and now it is better to guard the movie site.

Moreover. China and the United States are conducting bilateral negotiations, including clauses related to the entertainment and cultural industry. He united several large companies to put pressure on the federal government in order to gain more benefits for Hollywood and himself in the negotiations.

Although this is a wedding banquet, there is no special ceremony. Instead, it is more like a yacht social party in the upper class. Murdoch also specially let people follow Ryan and introduce him to New York celebrities.

After meeting Murdoch's three children, Ryan saw an interesting scene. The mother of Wendi Deng's ex-boyfriend also attended the wedding. He had to sigh that Western-style thinking is really interesting.

"Are there any gains?" Nicole came over with the red wine.

"Rupert wanted me to invest in his project in the Far East, but I turned it down." Seeing Nicole's eyes flickering, Ryan asked curiously, "What happened, Nicole?"

"Nothing, the wind is a bit strong." Nicole found a reason casually.

She couldn't take the initiative to tell the guy opposite that she was stinged by the diamond ring in Deng Wendi's hands, right?

"Then we say goodbye to the master, UU read and go back to rest." Ryan suggested.

"That's okay, I haven't come back from the jet lag." Nicole simply pulled Ryan up and walked towards the Murdoch couple.

In the car back to the hotel, Nicole held Ryan's arm tightly, pressed her lips and barely said anything. When the car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, she asked, "You want to become popular with Nat. Carpet?"

"no."

Nicole’s eyes were full of doubts. If she were the producer, she would definitely let the two people walk on the red carpet together. This is definitely a good boo for propaganda and hype.

"Na Express is taking the exam." Ryan can only explain, "She has to review her homework, so she won't appear at the premiere."

Just like in the previous life, the Long Island girl refused to attend the premiere of Star Wars. As for the reason, Ryan can guess some of the reasons. Natalie would not appear in Red with him when the two people’s fame is too different. On the carpet.

This will reduce a lot of trouble for Ryan for the time being. ()
