"Ryan, the mashed potatoes here are very good and have a unique taste..."

Before Natalie finished speaking, she swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke, "It seems that she had added beef sauce, Ryan, don't you come to some?"

"Dear, do you need me to ask for one?"

Nicole, who was sitting next to the little guy, looked over, and without Ryan's answer, she took her ideas, waved to the waiter and said, "Give me a mashed potato."

The dinner was going on for a while, and things did not slip into the irrescue abyss as Ryan imagined. The gap between Nicole and Natalie was very obvious. Unless necessary, the two would hardly talk to each other. If it weren't for Taylor's reasons, they wouldn't have sat at a table to eat.

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

Natalie knew very well that when she grew up, especially in North Hollywood, Nicole Kidman had an objection to her, but she was a proud person. The partner she was dating was Ryan, not his sister, and Ryan had long been independent.

As for Ryan, he looked no different from usual and often joked with Taylor, but his heart was far less peaceful than he seemed. If Nicole and Natalie really discovered something, they wouldn't have a quarrel. I'm afraid they would just use the stainless steel table knife in their hands to pierce a few transparent holes on themselves.

Greedy people may really be going to hell? Despite thinking so in their hearts, Ryan doesn't want to give up any of them.

The current Oscar winner, a future Oscar winner, and a person who is recognized as the best acting among the new generation of Hollywood actors, these three super acting players have really shown all their strength at this moment. Not only can others not see what they think, but I am afraid that they will be blinded by their acting skills.

"How long will it take to complete your scene?" Nicole asked Ryan with the knife in his hand.

"It's soon." Ryan also put down the tableware.

Although the movie is still a while before the movie is closed, the scenes belonging to Spearman are basically almost completed, and those scenes he watched do not require Ryan to be present, and the post-production editing is enough to handle all this.

"Is there something going on next?" He knew very well that since Nicole asked, there might be something that needs to be handled by himself.

"Rupert Murdoch sent an invitation. I hope we will go to New York to attend his wedding early next month." Nicole flipped his handbag and handed Ryan a very formal wedding invitation. "And, George called to invite the premiere of "The Ghost Threat" in New York."

As she said that, her eyes subconsciously floated over Natalie's face. The Long Island girl was still quietly tasting her dinner.

"It seems like Murdoch had just resolved the divorce case?"

This divorce case was a protracted lawsuit. Unexpectedly, he was single and Murdoch was about to enter the marriage hall again.

"It is said that he sent an invitation to the outside world the day after the official divorce." Nicole frowned and went gossiped, "It's just why did he choose that woman?"

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

"He has great ambitions." Nicole sighed.

Ambition? Ryan smiled. Murdoch in his previous life still wanted to acquire Time Warner.

"Do you think he will succeed? After all, Deng has changed his nationality." Because Ryan was interested, Nicole knew a little about it.

“Absolutely impossible.”

If Murdoch chose Wendi Deng to really open the door to the media industry on the other side, it would be just a delusion.

"Hey hey hey, Ryan, Nicole, what are you talking about? Can you say I can understand?" Taylor couldn't understand what these two people were saying at all, and couldn't help but protest.

"I haven't had the jet lag yet, it's time to go for a rest."

Listening to these topics that were not related to her, Natalie yawned a little. She stood up and nodded to the opposite side, "Goodbye, Nicole."

"Goodbye, Nat." Nicole just nodded.

…………

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

What is most surprising is that the Jewish tycoon actually 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 "qingren".

Is there really love between the two sides? Or is it the beginning of another big strategy as those on Wall Street imagined?

Perhaps only time and God can prove it.

With this idea, Ryan took Nicole and walked onto Murdoch's private yacht, the Mooning Gloria, the wedding of Wendy Dun and Rupert Murdoch will be held on the yacht.

"Congratulations, Rupert. Congratulations, Deng."

After walking onto the spacious deck of the yacht, Ryan and Nicole presented their congratulations. Because they had just arrived from Warsaw, they arrived late.

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

Even at his wedding, this old man could not forget his ambitions and empire. After seeing Wendi Deng accompanying Nicole to the Female Bing District, he and Ryan walked to the front deck with less crowds. "Ryan, you are the most popular movie star in the Far East in Hollywood."

"It's just a little famous, it's not the most popular one." Ryan understood what the Far East in his mouth meant.

After the New Year, "The Rest of the Desert Island" entered the film market on the other side. Compared with "Save Private Ryan" introduced at the same time, it can only be described as a flop.

"Are you interested in cooperating?" Murdoch smiled and shook his head. If the other party was just a Hollywood superstar, how could he come here specifically?

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

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

Ryan hugged his chest with one hand, and his other hand held his chin. His long black hair drooped on his shoulders swayed slightly with the sea breeze, as if he was really considering feasibility.

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

Rupert Murdoch's plan is obvious. He wants to push him, a person with a strong influence in the Far East, to the front desk to become the spokesperson of News Group. His marriage to Wendi Deng is part of the huge plan, and cooperation with himself is also part of it.

If his plan is successful, even if the investment he participated in and cooperated with would be eroded by News Corporation in the future, it would be nothing compared to the benefits he could obtain.

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

There is no doubt that Rupert Murdoch has achieved great success in both the UK and the US, but the other side is a completely different country...

If Ryan had grown completely from the West, he might have been really moved, after all, that market was too tempting, but he knew that News Corp's plan was just a delusion.

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

This is true. If you only look at the apparent income, most of the money Ryan earned will soon be invested in the next plan, and there is indeed not much liquidity.

"That's a shame."

Although the intention was not reached, the cooperation between the two sides has been quite pleasant over the past few years. Murdoch took a picture of his arm. "Then I wish you all the next movies will be sold."

Looking at the figure disappearing on the front deck, Ryan shook his head. In a few years, News Corporation will be a big quagmire. If it is too involved with them, it is hard to say that it will not affect him.

I will have a series of plans next, and now I will just keep the movie territory.

Besides, China and the United States are conducting bilateral negotiations on the WTO, including clauses related to the entertainment and cultural industry. He has joined forces with several large companies to put pressure on the federal government so that he can win more benefits for Hollywood and himself during 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 asked someone to follow Ryan to introduce New York celebrities to him.

After meeting Murdoch's three children, Ryan saw an interesting scene. Wendi Deng's ex-boyfriend's mother also attended the wedding, which made him sigh that Western thoughts are really interesting.

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

"Rupert wanted me to invest in his project in the Far East, but I refused." Ryan saw Nicole's eyes flashing and 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 hurt by the diamond ring in Wendi Deng's hand, right?

"Then let's say goodbye to the master and go back and rest." Ryan suggested.

"It's good that I haven't returned the jet lag yet." Nicole simply pulled Ryan and walked towards the Murdoch and his wife.

When he returned to the hotel, Nicole held Ryan's arm tightly, pursed his lips and almost said nothing. He asked, "Do you want to accompany Nat on the red carpet?"

"No."

Nicole's eyes looked full of doubt. If she were the producer, she would definitely let the two of them walk on the red carpet together, which is definitely a good hype for publicity and hype.

"Nat's exam is on." Ryan could only explain one sentence, "She wants to review her homework, so she won't show up at the premiere."

Just like in his previous life, the Long Island Girl refused to attend the premiere of Star Wars. As for the reasons, Ryan could guess some of it. When the two people's fame was too different, Natalie would not appear on the red carpet with him.
