The first thousand one hundred and seventy-five chapters of the media princess Elizabeth
If you are not crazy at the age of twenty, you have no ambition. If you are still crazy at the age of thirty, you have no ability.
James' sister Elizabeth is in her thirties, but she is not the kind of person with a brain. Sometimes she does things without thinking about them. This is a very strange thing. And she is the kind of person with great ambitions.
, Therefore, in such a situation, she seems to be a bit sharp in doing things.
She is obviously more keen on using offensive methods to deal with her second brother. When presiding over the preparations for the movie "I Robot", Elizabeth even said openly in front of the camera and on TV: "This
The movie Mouse is 100 million. I hope it will become a classic in the future. I believe it will be much better than my second brother's movie. I invited big-name stars. Will Smith has almost agreed to star in this movie.
It's a movie.
I believe it will become a classic science fiction movie like Men in Black."
It is full of her own self-confidence, and also full of sarcasm towards her brother. Anyway, it is not very satisfying to see James, and she directly declares war on her second brother. This is Elizabeth, a sharp-edged person who can not only
A rich girl who knows the sky is the limit.
When he saw this news, Ye Ming was drinking coffee with James in a villa in Beverly Hills. He glanced at James and said, "It seems that Elizabeth looks older than you. She should be your sister."
Right?"
Ye Ming has never met Elizabeth Murdoch in person, and James has always said that Elizabeth is his sister, but it seems that this guy lied.
James immediately shrugged and said: "Yes, Elizabeth is indeed my sister, older than me and my eldest brother, but Elizabeth has always regarded herself as the youngest daughter, and always competes with our two brothers for things, and she also thinks that we two
He should be left alone. Therefore, Lachlan and I both believe that she should play the role of a younger sister, and it seems that my father also thinks so."
There is really enough confusion here. Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe Westerners think differently from me. God, what is this all about? Elizabeth is actually your eldest sister, okay, no!
Not to mention, your eldest sister is a good politician, at least she is very aggressive when giving speeches."
James said with great certainty: "I think so too. Therefore, in such a situation, I need to focus on him. This is more than acting like his eldest sister, which is actually demeaning in front of reporters."
My younger brother, so I think she is my sister."
Ye Ming looked at Elizabeth in front of the camera. She was already in her thirties. She seemed to still be so aggressive when she spoke, especially when she said that although her words were an attack on James, it could also be seen that she was against him.
My father was not very satisfied and was full of hostility.
Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It seems that your sister is not very satisfied with the arrangement of this matter. I wonder if you are not very satisfied with your father's arrangement?"
James took a sip of coffee and said, "Why don't you tell me about this? I was just wanting to ask you about the situation. In fact, my father arranged for us to plan these two movies, so naturally he wouldn't give us all the money at once?"
"
Ye Ming nodded and said in agreement: "This is natural. Under such a situation, if I give you all the money, then at such a time, anyone can do it.
As long as you are not a prodigal, have money, and have a script, it is not difficult to coordinate a movie. What is difficult is to integrate all aspects of the relationship. It seems that your father is quite satisfied with your performance in Hong Kong City. Therefore, in this case,
This is a situation that gives you a chance to show yourself."
Ye Ming's words were also recognized by James. He said with a wry smile: "That's right, my father actually means this. On such a question, he gave each of us two-thirds.
money.
The budget of my movie was between 130 million and 160 million. Therefore, my father gave me a relatively small amount of two-thirds of 140 million.
Of course, the five million yuan will not be given to me all at once, but will be given to me in batches according to the progress of the film.
And my sister, well, my sister, got 70 million, and her budget was almost 100 million. This is what she was dissatisfied with. My father gave me more money and gave her less money.
Therefore, she expressed some dissatisfaction on TV. This is also normal."
The preference for boys over girls is not only found in the East, but also in the West. In fact, it has always been in this state. If Elizabeth, as the eldest daughter, is the eldest son, then it is no surprise that he is Murdoch's.
The heir.
But because she is a daughter, it is almost impossible for her to inherit Murdoch's News Corporation.
At this moment, Ye Ming was speechless. There were some things that he could just listen to and couldn't interfere with. This was Murdoch's housework. He couldn't hope for outsiders to interfere in his housework casually.
And James thought for a while and then said: "Actually, there is a reason why my eldest sister behaves like this. She wants to show her tough side to the public because she wants to divorce and marry another married man. My father said this
She was very unhappy and almost told her to withdraw her project."
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I remember hearing someone discussing similar news on the plane. It seems that your cheap brother-in-law is Freud's great-grandson, right?"
Matthew Freud, this person is a master of psychoanalysis, and his great-grandfather is a famous celebrity in the West, Freud. "The Interpretation of Dreams" is Freud's work. It is known as the greatest psychology in the West.
Scientist.
But the problem is that both Elizabeth Murdoch and Matthew Freud have families. It can be said that both of them are engaging in extramarital affairs. This is something Murdoch does not want to see and has always opposed his daughter.
of this relationship.
Of course, now that he is giving Elizabeth such a project, Murdoch might as well ask Elizabeth to calm down and think about the emotional issues first.
Of course, Murdoch's approach is doomed to fail. Thinking of this, Ye Ming was speechless. Murdoch has mastered astonishing wealth and established a powerful news empire, but it must be said that he is very good at managing his children.
It wasn't very successful.
Both the eldest daughter Elizabeth and the eldest son Lachlan tend to fall out with him.
Although James was unwilling to admit it, he still nodded and said: "That's right, even Matthew Floyd, this guy is also a married man. My sister is also a married woman, and this matter has already made a big fuss.
My father was very dissatisfied. But Elizabeth didn't care about this. I think Elizabeth would win in the end.
She is such a person. She must try her best to get what she wants."
James knew his eldest sister very well. Although his father was against it and although the relationship was not favored by others, in the end the eldest sister would definitely stick to her own point of view and marry Matthew Floyd.
This is an inevitable thing, which is why both James and Lachlan think Elizabeth is like a younger sister. How many adults can do such a thing?
Ye Ming said with a smile: "These are not your worries, your father should be worried. Of course, you are not a child when you rob, you are an adult. You know what you are doing. Maybe she will win emotionally.
But in your father's eyes, she will be a symbol of disobedience. Such a move is actually not a good thing for Elizabeth.
After all, she disobeyed your father, which is enough to leave a bad impression on Elizabeth in your father's eyes. This is also of great benefit to you. You have to fully grasp this."
In fact, grudges between wealthy families have always been very cruel, and those who lose are destined to leave in despair. For example, Lachlan is the same, and is now able to compete for control of News Corporation. Those who succeed Murdoch, and Ben,
Most people think it's James.
There are very few people who think that Elizabeth has a chance. At this moment, Elizabeth is also a little depressed. Although she appears to be very energetic in front of the camera, in fact her life is not easy now.
Just like what her brother James said. Her father Murdoch is actually not very optimistic about such a thing.
Therefore, in addition to facing pressure from media reporters, etc., she also has to face pressure from her father. If she wants to give up her feelings and go all out to fight for the inheritance of News Corporation, then this is
One of the things she said may be that she had a little hope of becoming her father's successor.
But now Elizabeth obviously won't see it like this. This matter is a very helpless result. Elizabeth is worried about such a thing.
The secretary came over and said: "There is news from the company that Will Smith has decided to take over the filming of this movie, but he has one requirement, which is that he must become the producer of the movie."
It is very common in Hollywood for directors or superstar-level actors to become film producers. For example, Emmerich is like this. As a director of disaster movies, he will always become a producer.
One of the people.
Because in the West, the film system is actually somewhat different from that in the East. In China, it is generally a director-centered system, with the director taking the lead in filming, but in the West, the producer is the most important position.
The producer has the power of life and death over the entire crew.
Therefore, powerful directors and famous actors usually use the identity of producer to protect themselves.
After all, if you become a producer, then when shooting a movie, a real producer will not feel any restraint on his own movie creation. Otherwise, there are two people in charge of a movie, one is the director.
, controls the filming, and one is the producer, who controls the financial power, then the crew will appear to be in chaos. Therefore, on such a problem, things may be worse than Elizabeth thought, Wells
Miss wants to become a producer? Elizabeth hesitated for a moment. She really likes to use beautiful women and big names, and when changing projects, Elizabeth must do a good job and prove that she is also qualified to control News Corporation. Otherwise, then, then,
In such a matter, she will completely fail, and she will be completely cut off from the future power of News Corporation.
Therefore, Elizabeth thought for a while and said: "Okay, there is no problem with this, but we have the right to supervise and terminate the good decision of the producer and director if the movie is not good."
Elizabeth herself doesn't know much about making movies, so in such a situation, she would naturally want to delegate her power.
But as an actual investor, she has to be responsible for her investment. After all, her loss to Ou Zhe affects whether she can defeat James and become the successor of News Corporation.
The secretary was not surprised at all by Elizabeth's decision. This method is actually quite popular in Hollywood. At this moment, Elizabeth hesitated and said: "The production company should not decide so quickly. I have my own plans."
At this time, the secretary naturally didn't know much about Elizabeth's plans, but according to custom, it was quite unexpected for Elizabeth to do this. The film production company should have confirmed it first.
And there is almost no doubt that the production company should be Fox, but the results don't seem to be what it seems.
At this moment, after the secretary left, Elizabeth made a phone call: "Dear Matthew, how did you do what I asked you to do? Register a film and television company in Germany as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed any longer.
"
Elizabeth and Matthew Freud's relationship has been very hot recently, so some things they did were not very authentic.
For this project, if Fox is the production company, it will not only be fair, but it will also give herself extra points in front of her father. However, Elizabeth actually did not do this at all for Matthew. She had some decisions to make.
It's exactly what James said, she is more like a sister than an older sister.
