When time entered late April, with the cooperation of Walt Disney, the pressure faced by News Group suddenly decreased. Their actions to split into News Group, which is mainly based on paper media and Fox Group, which is mainly based on film and television industry, are also in an orderly manner. Without Disney fanning the flames behind the scenes, the pressure from the political circles of Britain and the United States has also been much less. In particular, their voluntary split also satisfies the interests of many people in London and Washington.

What remains unchanged is that the internal struggle of News Corporation is still fierce, and Murdoch's children are ready to move. In the next few years, the war between the industry will be a curse that plagues News Corporation and Fox Group. After the two companies are split, Murdoch will not be able to use his fingers like before.

On April 25, the Los Angeles District Court ruled that Anthony Pelicano was found guilty of 78 charges including eavesdropping, computer fraud and telecommunications fraud, and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The "eavesdropping gate" incident that made everyone in Hollywood stars ended, and Hollywood's nightmare woke up.

Anthony Pelicano is a smart man who has no choice to appeal. He keeps his mouth shut in the face of the media and has repeatedly stated that he will never betray his clients and will never betray his story. The secret is always a secret.

This is a very wise approach. If he trades with the media, many people will find ways to make him shut up completely, otherwise Michael Douglas's son in prison will be his previous sign.

New York City's editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief of the New York Post and several editors will also face more than ten years in prison. They were completely abandoned by the News Corporation and naturally became the scapegoat used by Murdoch to eliminate Ryan's anger.

In London, although James Murdoch was exempted from prosecution, he was deported by the British government and declared him an "unpopular figure". Murdoch's youngest son was no longer in the UK and had to return to New York. This was exactly the situation Ryan wanted. In the trade war within the Murdoch family, another force was joined, and it was believed that he would be more intense and beautiful in the future.

James Murdoch was able to escape from the cage, and Murdoch's goddaughter Rebecca Brooks became the scapegoat for the British "eavesdropping gate" and she would face at least fifteen years in prison.

Subsequently, Fox Group took the initiative to expose a list, claiming that professional film critics including Roger Albert, David Denby, JR Jones were instructed by Tom Rossman, former 20th Century Fox, who had removed all positions from Tom Rossman in attacking "Avatar". Fox Group had sincerely apologized to the crew of "Avatar" for this matter.

People who have formerly famous film critics certainly won't admit it, but Fox Group has presented a bill and transfer list, with seven figures of money being transferred to Roger Albert's studio account. Not only that, Twentieth Century Fox also exposed private transactions with professional film critics such as Roger Albert in the 1900s.

Yes, this was Ryan's request, and Murdoch did it on purpose. After the news was exposed, most of the public's attention was diverted to the critics. To a considerable extent, it weakened the pressure faced by News Corp.

Professional film critics have once again become the center of the film industry, but unfortunately their reputation has become inaudible.

"It turns out that they have never even achieved relative justice..."

"I will never trust critics again."

"As sure, as Ryan and James Cameron said, professional critics are all a group of greedy vampires!"

The Internet is full of excitement. Professional film critics are directly equated with scammers, borers and disgusting vampires.

A profession that once could stir up the film market has completely entered the sunset and dusk. The profession of professional film critic has become a place that has been despised by the public. The future will inevitably be the era of films for public comments.

Also in this month, the School of Film Arts and Sciences also convened a press conference to announce the cancellation of membership of a group of film and television critics led by Roger Albert and David Denby, and claimed that they were never welcome figures in the Oscars.

This is extremely rare in the history of the academy. Professional film critics led by Roger Albert can be regarded as writing about the history of Hollywood.

Perhaps it was stimulated by continuous blows, or perhaps it was the recurrence of the old disease. A few days later, Roger Albert's condition suddenly worsened, but in just one night, he said goodbye to the world.

What made Roger Albert's family pleased was that thousands of fans attended Roger Albert's funeral, but the scene at the funeral shocked and angry. Most fans gave Roger Albert a thumbs up, but the direction of the thumb was towards the ground!

Among them, some of the words written on Optimus posters held high by Transformers fans most appropriately reflect the ordinary movie fans' impression of Roger Albert.

"You never mind attacking others' hard work results in the most vicious words. You are like an insatiable mosquito, lying on others in the dirtiest and despicable way, sucking blood while laughing at the person who provided you with blood!"

Of course, this is all the spontaneous behavior of movie fans. Even if Ryan and Disney have time, they will not continue to worry about such a group of small characters, a group of people who are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in North American movie history.

After officially acquiring Lucasfilm, Walt Disney welcomed one good news after another.

After nearly half a year of screening, the box office of "Avatar" in North America officially exceeded US$800 million, and it was lowered from North America with US$811.13 million. In terms of global box office, the terrifying $3 billion figure is not the end. "Avatar" is still slowly reaping the last bit of profit in some remote countries and regions.

As a follower of "Avatar", "Alice in Wonderland" has a box office of more than $350 million in North America, and the global box office has easily exceeded the $1 billion threshold.

In short, stimulated by this series of good news, Disney's stocks rose several times. By the end of April, Disney's overall market value had risen to more than 103 billion US dollars. With an absolute advantage, it has firmly secured the throne of the world's largest media group with market value.

Although News Group and Fox Group retained their vitality, they were in trouble. If it were in the 1960s and 1970s, Murdoch's children would have to buy murderers.

After taking over Lucasfilm, Disney will definitely not give up on the Star Wars series. The preliminary preparations for the seventh Star Wars movie will soon begin.

Most of Lucasfilm has high-quality assets such as Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound Effect, but there are also idle departments such as Lucas Animation and Lucas Games. With the promotion of Ryan, Lucas Pictures has also carried out industrial optimization on the basis of retaining a certain degree. Lucas Animation and Lucas Games were sold to Tingfeng Entertainment by Disney for a package price of $95 million.

The animation about "Star Wars" was transferred to DreamWorks Animation Studio.

Ryan himself and Walt Disney are undoubtedly winners of this war. Not only did they successfully weaken the strongest competitors, Disney also got what they wanted. His more than a dozen foundations have also obtained a huge amount of money by shorting News Group's stocks.

"Dad! Dad!" Sandy ran all the way into the garden.

Her curly blonde hair was neatly tied behind her head, with a big bow tied on it. Under her smooth and white forehead, there were deep eye sockets, and one of the blue eyes was as bright as stars.

Sandy ran to Ryan in front of the sea breeze of Malibu and pointed at Taylor who followed behind him, "Sister said we have defeated the bad guys, is that right?"

"Yes, the big bad guy surrendered and gave in." Holding his daughter, Ryan put her on the small chair beside him, lowered his head and kissed his little forehead, "Dear, he lost a lot to his father, and these belong to you and his sister in the future."

"What's it?" the little guy blinked quickly and asked curiously, "Is it fun? Can it be eaten?"

"Enough to buy the best toys and the most delicious candy in the world." Taylor came over and sat next to Nicole, "Dear Sunny."

"oh……"

Sandy, who was about to be four, had no specific concept. She bit her finger and thought for a while, "Would we have a party to celebrate, Taylor?"

"Dear, who do you want to invite?"

Nicole, who had been drinking tea, put down the tea cup, "I can call you."

"Well...Aiper, Lily."

Hearing Nicole's words, the little guy jumped out of the chair and ran to his mother happily, "Elizabeth, Terry..."

Many people's names popped up in her little mouth, basically the children of Ryan and Nicole's friends.

"Elsa." Ryan said to the butler sitting on the other side, "Prepare a children's party, and Sunny hasn't seen Elpur and Lily for a long time."

After saying that, Ryan looked at Taylor again, "Can you call Scarlett, and your other friends."

"Skay is not in Los Angeles."

Seeing Ryan a little surprised, Taylor said again, "You busy man must have forgotten that "Avengers" will be released soon, and Scarlett is not like you always have privileges. She and the crew are running announcements around the world to do publicity."

Before we knew it, it turned out that another summer vacation was about to begin.

In recent months, Ryan has been busy dealing with Murdoch and News Corp. He has almost completely put the film business aside. As the chairman of Disney, no one will come to him to cooperate with the crew to promote.

"That..." Taylor scratched his face, "Will the matter between Scar and me affect the movie?"

"Don't worry." Ryan picked up the juice from the table and handed it to Sandy. "Surprisedly made some modifications to Black Widow. There will definitely be some impact, but they are all small problems." (To be continued...)
