Chapter 691 - Chapter 683 The Only Remaining Obstacle

Murdoch Jr. was indeed tempted by the scandal proposed by Joan Wille.

First of all, this incident can definitely lead to Kiryu Nanaya's downfall.

While dating his elder sister, he also had sex with his younger sister.

This kind of thing is considered a very serious act of cheating no matter which country's entertainment industry it happens in.

Regardless of whether the parties involved are happy or not, the public will definitely not be happy.

Not to mention, Lily Wettin is currently extremely popular all over the world.

For Washimine Entertainment now, the most outstanding director is Nanaya Kiryu and the brightest star is Lily Wettin.

As long as something happens to these two people, it will definitely be a huge blow to the entire Washimine Entertainment.

It would be even better if it could cause a rift between Washimine Shion and Kiryu Nanaya.

Murdoch Jr. doesn't think any woman would be calm if she saw her man having sex with one of his stars.

Maybe we can turn a blind eye to it before it is exposed.

But once it is exposed to the public, it cannot be simply let go by saying "I was wrong".

Especially when the woman is in a dominant position in the relationship.

The reason why it is difficult for outsiders to take action against Washimine now is that the alliance of Washimine Shion and Kiryu Nanaya owns one-third of the shares of the entire group company.

This is a huge advantage when the interests of both parties are aligned.

But if the alliance between the two parties breaks down, it will be a complete corporate crisis.

but...

"One photo doesn't mean anything. The evidence is far from enough."

Little Murdoch shook his head slowly.

This photo alone is not enough to convince the public.

Not to mention that two big guys, Spielberg and Lucas, are present in this photo.

As long as they can prove that Nanaya Kiryu has absolutely nothing to do with Lily Wettin, I believe it will be very convincing.

Of course, Murdoch Jr. can also do public relations for these two big guys.

Use some methods that everyone understands to make them announce the improper relationship between Lily Wettin and Nanaya Kiryu.

But as soon as this idea came to mind, it was rejected by Murdoch himself.

Fox has not had a good relationship with these two recently.

Spielberg is still upset about the Big Six joining forces to suppress DreamWorks.

As for Lucas, his relationship with Fox was not good after their collaboration on the Star Wars prequel trilogy ended.

Fox was very angry and criticized Lucas for licensing the online copyright of the "Star Wars" movies to [See Moon].

Fox's video website is now online, but the only Star Wars movie on it is "Star Wars: A New Hope".

It's because Lucas Film refused to license the video for the Internet.

"A New Hope" was able to be released because Fox and Lucas shared the distribution rights of this film.

Otherwise, the situation will be even worse.

In view of this situation, Murdoch Jr. did not dare to do public relations with the two Hollywood bosses.

What if the people from News Corporation just left and then they reported the matter to Kiryu Nanaya?

Wouldn't that be alerting the enemy? !

After all, Murdoch Jr. couldn't trust anyone else with such confidential matters.

"That's it, Will."

Little Murdoch thought for a moment, then gave the order: "I will find a way to give you more resources. You must get solid evidence of Kiryu Nanaya's relationship with Lily Wettin as soon as possible."

"No problem, Mr. Murdoch."

Joan Wille was very excited.

Digging into the privacy of public figures is simply the best meal for a paparazzi like him.

His favorite thing was to watch those high and mighty figures fall from the clouds into the abyss because of a small figure like him.

"Then I'll go get ready, Mr. Murdoch."

After receiving the order from Murdoch Jr., Joan Weir left happily.

"Jim."

Little Murdoch looked at the photo and asked, "What did you say Kiryu Nanaya discussed when he met with Lucas and Spielberg?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with their new movie."

Jim pointed at the photo and said, "Look, Spielberg's goddaughter is here too. Maybe they are looking for roles for their actresses."

"Um."

Young Murdoch nodded slowly, accepting the explanation.

————————————————

Thanks to a large number of female fans and various exaggerated publicity, the first-day box office of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was indeed very outstanding.

Not only did it take in the midnight slot, it also far exceeded the media's previous estimate of $20 million on the first day.

Afterwards, "New Moon" overwhelmed "Madoka Magica" with a score of 72.7 million US dollars on its premiere day on Friday, becoming the box office champion of the day.

Unfortunately, this result did not last long.

After exhausting the enthusiasm of book fans, the performance of "New Moon" began to decline sharply.

Although the film grossed $120 million in the first three days, which was quite impressive in 2009, it still failed to win the box office championship that week.

Not only that, it was even pinned to the ground by this week's champion.

Because "Madoka Magica" grossed an astonishing $134.5 million at the weekend box office this week.

Don't mention that "New Moon" was only released for three days this week, but "Madoka Magica" is an old movie that has been released for three weeks.

So far, after 21 days of release, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has grossed 460 million in North America.

It surpassed the box office of "Star Wars: A New Hope" and ranked fourth.

What's even more frightening is that the global box office of "Madoka Magica" has reached a crazy $1.15 billion, ranking third in film history.

Almost everyone is convinced that it is only a matter of time before Nanaya Kiryu breaks her own record of second place in film history set by "Inferno".

What everyone is more concerned about is how far the movie "Madoka Magica" can go at the box office? !

The tenacious vitality of "Madoka Magica" makes everyone see the scene when "Titanic" swept the world.

Now, even the craziest box office forecasters can't predict where Madoka Magica will end up.

Because this movie broke all box office conventions and became a terrifying monster.

The reason for this is that the number of 3D theaters in North America, the main box office force of "Madoka Magica", is increasing day by day.

After watching the 2D version, many viewers will choose to watch the 3D version, and then watch the IMAX 3D version, or watch the 3D version several times.

This makes it difficult for these review agencies to calculate when the audience's enthusiasm for "Madoka Magica" will end.

This is also the direct reason why fans of "New Moon" expressed their dissatisfaction.

They felt that the price of the 3D movie ticket for "Madoka Magica" was much higher than that of the 2D ticket for "New Moon".

It would be fundamentally unfair to "New Moon" to only calculate the box office figures.

North America should change the way it counts movie box office revenue to counting the number of moviegoers instead.

In this way, everyone will find that "New Moon" is much more awesome than "Madoka Magica".

These remarks were subsequently ridiculed by fans of Madoka Magica.

"New Moon" couldn't even beat a movie that had been released for three weeks, and it had to rely on the number of moviegoers to achieve a spiritual victory.

The so-called Twilight fans are in the millions, it's all a joke.

The debate immediately escalated into an online war of words.

After all, non-Twilight fans have long been dissatisfied with the series.

Especially those male audiences who are forced to watch the movie because of their girlfriends (or wives).

They hate Twilight even more.

So after the fans of the two movies started trouble, the tension between the two sides immediately escalated.

"New Moon is just as boring as its prequel, which makes you want to kill yourself."

"This movie can't even do its only purpose - helping people sleep, because the pointless screams of those crazy girls in the same theater will wake you up again and again!"

"If wasting time is murder, then all the main creators of the film can be dragged out and shot for an hour!"

The Internet is full of negative reviews about this film. It can be said that the Twilight series has never received good reviews from the public since the day it was released.

Although the fans of "Twilight" are very united, the fan base is still too small compared to "Madoka Magica".

Their efforts were soon drowned in the vast ocean of European and American people.

Because they have to face not only the angry men who watched "New Moon", but also the entertainment industry tycoon Washimine Group.

When it comes to online promotion, Summit Entertainment is really just a child in front of Washimine Group.

Such bad word of mouth naturally affected the box office performance of "New Moon".

After achieving a stunning opening of 120 million in the first weekend, the box office of "New Moon" truly demonstrated what it means to start high and end low.

The box office revenue of only over 30 million US dollars in the second week let everyone know that the movie was completely doomed.

The reality of the North American market will simply relegate this film to the cold palace.

However, although this situation is consistent with the predictions of most market observers, the huge drop of 75% in the second week of "New Moon" still surprised many people.

For a film that set a record for midnight box office, this result is really embarrassing.

In fact, in Nanaya's previous life, "New Moon" was not as tragic as this.

After all, at that time, the negative reviews of "New Moon" were concentrated in print media, and the Internet was basically dominated by fans' positive reviews.

For American young people who rarely read newspapers and magazines, they are naturally more willing to believe the comments on the Internet.

But this time, the overwhelmingly negative reviews on the Internet for "New Moon" prevented it from successfully reaping the box office like other similar films from parallel universes.

In addition, there is a super movie like "Madoka Magica" that can almost serve as a comparison.

The decline of "New Moon" was actually destined from the beginning.

Unlike "New Moon" which has already faded away, the box office performance of "Madoka Magica" is still very stable.

After four weeks of screening, "Madoka Magica" still earned $48.5 million in its fourth weekend.

Currently, the North American sales of "Madoka Magica" have accumulated to 519 million US dollars.

Madoka Magica is really just a stone's throw away from the runner-up, Inferno, which achieved $531 million.

As for the global box office, "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" has exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars, reaching 1.351 billion.

Now, there's only one movie standing in the way of Madoka Magica! becoming the box office champion in film history.

That is "Titanic", which earned $1.8 billion.
