Chapter 246 U.S. Steel Corporation

Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Tallulaban Khead, Pauline Goddard, Miriam Hopkins, Joan Bennett.

Familiar star names are all on the list, many of them were opponents who competed for Gone with the Wind back then, but now they are all on the invitation list, the list provided by Ingrid Bergman, and Hollywood stars who have risen to fame in recent years.

In addition to Katharine Hepburn's connections, well-known managers and even politicians are on the invitation list.

Soon the news was spread, Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, and the recent scandal-ridden Ingrid Bergman jointly issued an invitation to hold a charity dinner, inviting celebrities to participate in the joint name. All of a sudden, the circle of ladies and celebrities was detonated, and everyone who thought they should have a place looked forward to it.

It's true that Ingrid Bergman is now involved in scandals, but this is actually a question of you poor people who really understand cars. People who are also working hard in the film and television industry don't care about such things at all.

This is such a common unspoken rule, not to mention the red sofa that all actors tacitly know, many actors' starting roads, they can't even get a spot on the red sofa, they have to take the initiative to find the director.

Even if what happened to Ingrid Bergman is true, it is just a mistake that everyone has made.

It's just the attention of some people who buy a ticket and think they are their parents. What can be blamed for a simple transaction?

Ingrid Bergman has attracted a wave of attention, and Katharine Hepburn's qualifications are expected, but the biggest focus is still on Vivien Leigh. Now everyone knows about British India and has become the focus of some people's discussions.

This colony under the name of the British Empire has also become the focus of attention of many Americans, and public opinion is also deliberately guiding this attention. Combined with social news, it is even more exciting.

Actors are not afraid of being popular, but they are afraid of not being popular. No matter what the popularity is, as long as there is enthusiasm, it is good.

Due to various reasons, the news had just spread, and there was already a hot response, which made Vivien Leigh very much looking forward to it.

"Vivienne, you are really concerned about this matter." Katharine Hepburn tilted her head, feeling very strange about this kind of thing.

"I am the honorary president of the British-Indian Actors Association, and I just took office." Vivien Leigh said evasively, "There was a drought just after I took office, and I must use my popularity to let everyone do their part in the misery Power, people can't be too sympathetic..."

Ah Choo! Alan Wilson in the Governor's Mansion sneezed several times in a row,

Suspicious and displeased, he felt the direction of this groundless rumor.

Compared with Ingrid Bergman, who is keen on whitewashing, Vivien Leigh pays more attention to honor. She was born in British India, her father is a wealthy businessman and her mother is an aristocrat. She has a sense of superiority since she was a child.

Although she was married before becoming an actress, she later became a hot movie star by virtue of her popularity. She is not short of money, she just wants to be respected.

Ingrid Bergman just wanted to clean up through charity, while Vivien Leigh wanted to consolidate her position through charity. draw the attention of the government.

In British India, seeing how Alan Wilson said one thing and controlled all aspects of the entire British India, she knew that that was the real right, an unrestricted right. In the eyes of that man, the attention she was after was a burden, and civil servants don't need popularity at all.

Even if it is more famous, Alan Wilson, who left a classic image by saving women in France, is definitely worthy of any British.

The receptions of the three actresses have aroused much anticipation, and they must be the top in Hollywood. They belong to the kind where many starlets, models, and patrons have to squeeze their heads to get in.

A strong Hollywood lineup will bring countless opportunities. This is true no matter for investors, or for those stars and young actors.

For many people, this is a good opportunity to expand their network. The communication at the reception will greatly promote the many filmings and cooperations in Hollywood in the next year.

There are often a lot of scripts that are valued in communication, and there are often a lot of directors who are finalized to direct movies here, and often more stars will be invited to audition for a certain production, and have preliminary cooperation intentions.

Maybe big stars, big directors and big producers will keep their hearts under these temptations, but how could those little stars, actors, directors and producers not rush to get such an opportunity.

The fate of many people was changed at this time. Why don't they want to be the lucky ones chosen by fate?

The so-called opportunity to become famous overnight will appear at many receptions, not to mention that this is a charity reception jointly organized by the three actresses, whether it is Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman who is deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion , are all characters with their own traffic.

Even the entertainment newspaper in Los Angeles reported the original intention of this charity dinner with headlines on the front page, linking it with the current British India's fight against the drought.

This is not entertainment news in the general sense, but social news, which is even more sensational.

British India is well-known because of the current drought, and because of Gandhi's behavior, it caused a wave of enthusiasm in the United States, and became a figure that many Americans wanted to know.

Vivien Leigh arrived in the United States just at this time, and called for such a charity dinner, combined with current events, ignited public opinion in the United States.

Many media praised Vivien Leigh for making a magnificent turn in her life. She was an angel in the past, but now an angel has fallen to the mortal world. As for Ingrid Bergman, who was boycotted, she also received some praise. A few newspapers think whether the previous accusations against Ingrid Bergman were too harsh.

Under this kind of upsurge, it is reasonable that the charity dinner of the three actresses is taken seriously. I don't know how many people exchanged benefits here, and I don't know how many people paid the price to get the admission ticket.

But these are not important, the banquet kicked off under such a superficially glamorous situation.

In fact, just the arrival of the guests makes people feel that the trip is worthwhile, not to mention that this occasion is a high-incidence area for private giving and receiving. The hotel that organizes the reception can completely provide space for today's male and female guests to have a good time. In-depth communication.

Hollywood women, the belt is notoriously slack, it always falls down automatically for no reason.

In Europe and the United States, Pamela Mountbatten's age is already the age for marriage, but in the entertainment industry, it is more open, and everyone does not think there is anything wrong, and most people may even think that this is the real world .

Because she is British, Vivien Leigh is considered innocent, at least compared to the stars in the United States.

The guests here also included many stars that Vivien Leigh was already familiar with, such as Bette Davis who had auditioned in Gone with the Wind. The most iconic feature of Bette Davis was the pair of bewitching eyes.

Someone wrote the song "The Eyes of Bette Davis" to praise her eyes.

Betty Davis was holding a well-dressed man on his arm. After the man came in, he said nothing to everyone, as if he was waiting for something. After all the guests arrived, Vivien Leigh appeared. First of all, he would like to thank the guests who came here today. Then introduced the purpose of this charity dinner.

It means that the affairs of British India have been known to the whole world, and now hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent are suffering from hunger. As a star who was born in British India but has a wide reputation today, she very much wants to do something for British India at this time.

"Vivien Leigh, right? Betty, do you know that your friend speaks differently from ordinary celebrities?" The man next to Bette Davis listened to Vivien Leigh's words for a while, tilted his head and said, "It's very similar It's the people in the federal government who speak."

"Drake, you're overthinking." Bette Davis smiled and joked with the beneficiary she recently hooked up with, "She's British, not us Americans."

"No matter which country you work in, the way you speak is the same." Drake shook his head and said, "Those who work for the government speak differently from ordinary people. Maybe Vivien Leigh was influenced by something when she was in the UK." maybe."

Among the guests who came in, not all were film-related practitioners. For example, the company Drake worked for had nothing to do with the film industry, but a company called U.S. Steel Corporation.

Founded in 1901, the company was formed by the merger of more than a dozen companies including Carnegie Steel Company and Consolidated Steel Company. To be modest, it is half of the steel industry in the United States.

Derek maintained good patience. Like these Hollywood celebrities, he listened to Vivien Leigh's eloquent speech and the following acts of kindness, watching curiously. The whole process seemed to be like this, just like these so-called Hollywood celebrities are like real celebrities...

At the reception stage, Derek brought Bette Davis, who followed suit, to Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman, introduced himself, and expressed his concern and best wishes for the situation in British India.

"Betty, who is your boyfriend?" Ingrid Bergman saw that Bette Davis was a little passive, so she asked.

"I work in a steel company." Derek smiled gently, and asked Vivien Leigh curiously, "Miss Vivian just came from British India, how is the steel industry in British India, can you tell me?" Come on, maybe there is a chance to work together?"
