“Succession” is back on TV. Some real-world family fights are fiercer than fiction
t’s King Lear. It’s Ivan the Terrible. It’s the boardroom life of Rupert Murdoch and his children, transfigured onto screen. Jesse Armstrong’s “Succession”, now returned like hunting season or a course of therapy, professes to be drawn from all three. But its featured patriarch, Logan Roy , is more knowable and less murderous than any of those models.
“Dynasty”, whose struggles sometimes landed them in koi ponds and racks of dresses. These 1980s soaps achieved something beyond the reach of the early-20th-century novel. Their own productions acquired histories of fortune that mimicked the boardroom dramas on the screen.attempted to reverse its losses by having the late Bobby Ewing emerge from the shower and reclassify the 1986 season as the shadow of a dream.
Perhaps they have fought back by being better looking and better dressed than their father. In the office, Rupert wears shirt sleeves as if it’s the 1970s and he might have to hunker over some inky blocks of type. Off duty he is galumphing and unironed. In footage of him attending a News International pow-wow in 1995, at which he and Tony Blair came to an understanding, he looks as if he’s cosplaying a recently divorced maths teacher.
Ren says he joined the armed forces by accident when he was recruited as a student to fill a job on a construction project supervised by the army. But that khaki connection might help explain the opaque nature of Huawei history. Ren founded the firm in Shenzhen in southern China in 1987, but by the end of the 1990s even its own middle-managers did not know the names of the people at the top.
Ren’s second marriage to Yao Ling has produced a daughter, Annabel Yao, who in November 2018 joined her father’s charm offensive with aphotoshoot that depicted her recumbent on a mansion staircase in a blood-red ballgown. The following month, her elder half-sister was arrested in Vancouver on suspicion of sanctions-busting, a case that took place in the context of a hot-tempered dispute between America and China over Huawei’s access to American markets.
Guy, the daddy of the business and its chief financial officer, once worked for the investment arm of Barclays, which will please anyone who knows cockney rhyming slang. He founded the company in 2016 with his son Tim, who’d already made a good fist of this kind of business.
