Chapter 418 Same People but Different Fates

"It's too much. We are sought after by thousands of people wherever we go. I don't know how many men want to have intimate contact with me. You actually want me to pay more?" Ingrid Bergman shouted He shouted, "If it weren't for your good craftsmanship, I would definitely accuse you, but for the sake of you being a nice person, if you bow your head and apologize now, let this matter go."

"Okay, I want to say that I can come to Newfoundland to help. On behalf of Newfoundland, I would like to express my gratitude. This service is for you." Alan Wilson was unwilling to engage in a verbal dispute here. The occasion can be considered, "This promotional video is extremely important to Newfoundland, otherwise Vivian would not be allowed to use her connections to open up the situation."

Alan Wilson then explained several of his spokesperson ideas, focusing on the current development directions that Alan Wilson is optimistic about, including fisheries, forestry and tax havens. In addition to the three development directions, the spokesperson of Newfoundland is naturally Vivien Leigh.

In any case, Vivien Leigh is British and should appear in the image of Newfoundland. Before this time, the two had a good opportunity to cooperate. Vivien Lidu had endorsed British India, and the effect was very good.

"By the way, India's Daughter has been released, and it happened to be released just in time with the recent news that British India is seeking independence."

Seeing that the person under Alan Wilson was changed from Ingrid Bergman to Hedy Lamarr, Vivien Leigh looked stinky and mentioned the documentary she shot in British India, which currently has 200 records. It grossed US$10,000 at the box office and aroused social repercussions in the United States.

The current U.S. box office is still in the million-dollar era. Unless it is a particularly outstanding movie, most movies have a million-dollar box office size.

Alan Wilson, who did not forget the service, nodded, knowing that this number is already considered good. In fact, it is different from what people think. In the 1940s and 1950s, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Pauline Godard, and Vivien Leigh, many actresses gathered together to make a living. The golden age of Hollywood was limited to these female stars. .

But in fact, the 1940s and 1950s were a time when the American film market was in decline. Movie box office was far less than before the outbreak of World War II, and it was almost like Mary Pickford's silent film era.

From this perspective, Greta Garbo's withdrawal from the film industry is the pinnacle of Hollywood. Therefore, they are missed by many movie fans, and the remaining female stars are facing a shrinking market, and naturally they are not qualified to negotiate terms such as salary.

Otherwise, how could Alan Wilson be so dignified that he transferred four well-known actresses from the golden age for a beauty price of 5,000 pounds?

Remuneration is one aspect, and the Barbie Company is the big one. Annual sales of five million US dollars are the capital for these actresses to settle down. If it weren't for Newfoundland and its three development directions and Newfoundland spokespersons, there would only be four female stars in total. Star, he could just send a telegram and bring all the Golden Zodiacs over to support Newfoundland.

"Congratulations to Vivian, then.

You have transcended your identity as an actor to some extent. "Alan Wilson expressed congratulations with a smile, and the activist said with a sore wrist, "You can plan a route for your future. "

The box office of two million US dollars may be among the top ten in Hollywood this year. After all, the movie market is so rich now.

"I want to take a look at the development in Europe." Ingrid Bergman expressed her thoughts frankly with a comfortable look on her face. "It happens that the European market has been integrated. Let's see if there can be a better environment. I I also want to set up a company.”

"A very good idea!" Alan Wilson agreed. It was originally a serious topic, but it changed because of the next sentence. "European movies are relatively strong in France. How about setting up in Paris? I also thought of it." A pretty good name is Woodpecker Films."

"Not bad, you can consider it!" After hearing this, Ingrid Bergman felt that there was nothing wrong and nodded in agreement.

"I even want to be the leading actor!" The strange look on Alan Wilson's face flashed away, and then he returned to his serious manner, "In short, I have always respected ladies. This is a fact that everyone knows. If a few people can Help bring awareness to Newfoundland and I will definitely thank you.”

After serving each distinguished guest, Alan Wilson stopped and analyzed the roles of the four actresses in terms of appearance and temperament. As for Ingrid Bergman, who had a great Volvo test drive experience, she was assigned to cut wood. The worker protested angrily, "I am a woman, and you ask me to represent logging."

"This is the beauty of contrast. In fact, with your appearance and condition, people will accept cutting anything, let alone logging." As soon as Alan Wilson saw Ingrid Bergman getting up angrily, he unconsciously moved his wrist. , believes that this decision is not wrong, "You see, Heidi has no objection because of the fishery endorsement."

"I won't object if you let me taste Newfoundland's various seafood in front of the camera!" Ingrid Bergman snorted and said angrily, "It's not my fault that I'm tall. Some people like me."

"Ms. Ingrid is absolutely right about this." Alan Wilson also agreed deeply. In fact, he also likes this one.

Who wouldn’t love Ingrid Bergman? Almost all the hardware facilities that should be available are available, and all have excellent performance. The production age can only be said to be a small flaw, which is not harmful at all.

As for Pauline Godard, who replaced Greta Garbo and became the image of a tax haven, she naturally had no objections. The governor of Newfoundland, who is rich and multi-billionaire, said that the image of Pauline Godard, who competed with Vivien Leigh for the role of Scarlett Hathaway, must be very suitable for OL clothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a shirt, a hip skirt, and large black stockings.

As for Vivien Leigh herself, she has already brought her original Gone with the Wind costume to serve as the spokesperson for Newfoundland.

I went to the bedroom and stayed for a while, then took out the same outfit as Gone with the Wind, but I didn't wear it. This outfit was extremely complicated to wear, and the British treasure couldn't do it alone.

"I live in the apartment opposite the Governor's Mansion. If you have anything, just call me." Alan Wilson walked to the door and gave Vivien Leigh instructions in detail. When shaking hands, the apartment key had already slipped into her palm.

"Thank you Governor for your help." Vivien Leigh blinked and put the key away.

Until night, Alan Wilson was so anxious that he couldn't sleep. Finally, there was a sound at the door. It was like three autumns after not seeing him for one day, let alone so many days. As a local talker, Alan Wilson had the responsibility to provide considerate service. .

Newfoundland does not have the grandeur and grandeur of a place to hold cocktail parties like British India, but even so, he could not neglect these actresses who came to help the poor. He carefully prepared food to reward the distinguished guests, and at the same time, he rewarded himself for a night. Quite tiring.

In the center of the table sat a delicately decorated silver platter, holding a bouquet of flowers aloft, while baskets of dragee and striped mints hung around it. Clustering around the decorative 'theme' were several Lowestoft porcelain plates, piled high with raspberries and strawberries. On the outside are stacked cookies, pancakes, strawberry shortcake, steaming cornbread, and golden, fresh butter cubes that have just been unwrapped from the muslin wrap of the dairy.

Side dishes include spicy roasted turkey legs and cream-braised diced chicken, cucumbers, and tomato slices. Several heavy silver jars contain butter-colored cream soup.

These foods are actually impossible to obtain under Newfoundland’s conditions, and many of them are imported from the United States. Alan Wilson himself tried his best to maintain the image of a civil servant, but used it to entertain distinguished guests.

Seeing Alan Wilson's appetite and taking the opportunity to enrich himself, Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman looked at each other, and they were very clear about the fact that someone disappeared last night.

Even if history goes by the way things are going, Alan Wilson's days as Governor of Newfoundland are not yet over.

But the other governor's days are numbered, and it's far from as easy as Newfoundland's.

As the time approached, Mountbatten felt a little busy. He reflected on himself whether he had spent too much time holding a cocktail party at the Government House. If he stayed for a few days and did not have fun with the people, maybe the current schedule would not be like this. urgent.

On the advice of Commissioner Barron and Secretary-General Ismay, Mountbatten went to Kashmir, so that he could not only show his willingness to contribute to the integrity of India to deal with Nehru, but also express his inadequacy at the appropriate time.

On the issue of princely states, Mountbatten also tried his best. Most of the nearly 600 princely states stated that they would not become independent. More than a dozen princely states, including the princely state of Hyderabad, did not reply or object.

Mountbatten felt that he could satisfy Nehru, and set out for Kashmir with this idea in mind.

Most of the residents of Kashmir are peaceful believers, and it is generally believed that it may be annexed to Pakistan. However, in the eyes of the Kashmiri Hindu elite, amalgamation with either side was not good. If we must merge with a certain party, we would rather choose India than Pakistan.

The upper echelons of Kashmir believe that when they have no choice, they are determined to drag things out as long as possible. Perhaps it will eventually gain independent status, as Kashmir is one of the largest of the many princely states.

The person who paid the most attention to what Mountbatten could achieve was actually Ali Khan, the Maharaja of Hyderabad. Alan Wilson had reminded several times that the Kashmir issue could not be solved. Hyderabad's glimmer of hope lay in Kashmir. If Kashmir caused a war between India and Pakistan , is Ali Khan’s opportunity.

Before the Kashmir issue comes to light, even if Hyderabad appears to be submissive to Nehru, it will try its best to delay the conflict until the conflict breaks out.
