This is an investigative documentary work co-written by two Pulitzer Prize winners. It is also the prototype of the HBO hit series "Succession". Sumner M. Redstone, the American media tycoon who single-handedly founded Paramount Worldwide, was controlled and abused by two mistresses in his later years, and his huge inheritance was almost swallowed up. His daughter Sally Redstone had to get involved in the inheritance battle, take back her father's property, and use her competitors' sex scandals to gradually seize actual control of this huge media empire. Under the background that the living space of traditional media is being squeezed by new media, an unscripted live-action version of "Game of Thrones" is staged. Money, power, desire, the ups and downs of human nature and desperate fights. How will the drama come to an end? "Succession" is not only a documentary about media tycoon Sumner M. Redstone and his family's battle for inheritance, but also a real-life version of "Game of Thrones." This book vividly presents the struggle of the traditional media industry to survive under the impact of new media, as well as the intrigues among family members competing for control of the huge media empire. Through in-depth excavation of real events, the author brings readers into a battlefield full of greed, betrayal and the ups and downs of human nature.
