Chapter 462 Reagan

"Judging from this year's box office, it seems that the industry is having a hard time again." In the living room downstairs of Vivien Leigh's apartment, the whispers of a group of warblers and swallows were like the chirping of birds in the morning, which woke up Alan Wilson.

The seat next to the beauty was empty, and she was obviously greeting guests downstairs. Alan Wilson got up, put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to do basic cleaning, and then went downstairs wearing a cluttered nightgown.

Amid the sideways glances, he went to the kitchen. The sound of chewing came from the kitchen. Several women looked at Vivien Leigh in surprise, as if waiting for an explanation.

"New faces!" Before Vivien Leigh could say anything, Alan Wilson had already come out of the kitchen with food and looked at a few actresses who should be there, but there was no impression in his mind.

"Lana Turner, Joan Bennett!" Vivien Leigh introduced softly and said gently, "The food is cold, can I make you something new?"

"How many shareholders are there in Barbie?" Alan Wilson took a deep look at the two actresses, shook his head and said, "I don't have any higher pursuit of food. I'm a little tired. I'll go up and sleep for a while, and you can continue chatting. "

For Alan Wilson, he just came to the American West for a vacation from the snowy Newfoundland. Taking care of some work at the same time, as for getting to know more beauties, that would of course be better, but that's not possible now, the British treasure has already drained him.

"I asked how Vivian looks so radiant today. It turns out someone is taking care of her." Lana Turner chirped, with a look that I understand, "Which state is he from and what does he do? He is a businessman or a director."

"He's British!" Vivien Leigh was slightly unhappy. Lana Turner's words obviously meant that Vivien Leigh and Alan Wilson were engaging in body trade, which was very outrageous.

It was clear that both of them had decided last night that they wanted a baby belonging to both of them to witness their love. Now hearing such words made Vivien Leigh feel quite harsh.

"Lana doesn't mean anything." Joan Bennett explained from the side, "It's just that we have known each other for a long time, and I have never seen you have any personal feelings, so I am a little surprised."

The topic returned to the topic of movie involution, and it took a while for Lana Turner and Joan Bennett to leave.

Vivien Leigh went back upstairs and looked at the man who had been hollowed out. She couldn't get enough of it. "I have flowers on my face?" Alan Wilson closed his eyes and said, "Your two celebrity friends are gone?"

"Well, let's go. It's not easy to do business in the film industry this year. Many people have time to socialize." Vivien Leigh looked at Alan Wilson's face with her arm in her arms,

He asked gently, "Are you full?"

Alan Wilson opened his eyes suddenly, thought about it seriously and said, "Let's go to the kitchen and cook something together."

The Golden Age of Hollywood is technically over, but many actresses left over from the Golden Age are still active. Therefore, it gives the public the impression that the film industry is still bright with stars. It creates the illusion that the golden age is still there!

For these A-list actors, no one understands better than them the extent of the decline of the film industry.

Of course Alan Wilson knows in his heart that this is because American television is becoming popular and has an impact on the film industry. This is the most fundamental reason, but isn’t it? From the British perspective, there could be another reason.

From this time on, film actresses who became outstanding faced industry competition that was much more difficult than before the outbreak of World War II.

In the 1940s, the American film industry was considered a severely "leftist" group. Many Hollywood filmmakers joined the Communist Party of America or formed industry unions. More and more works exposed social contradictions and the suffering of the people at the bottom. Life.

Hollywood stars cannot talk about political leanings, because they try to always stand on the side of "political correctness", such as humanitarianism, anti-war, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression, caring for vulnerable groups, etc.

Because actors are a special group. Although big stars have enough financial resources, their livelihood still depends on their popularity. Naturally, stars cannot go against the public's thinking, so the celebrity group likes to create characters.

This time Vivien Leigh came to the United States, it was obvious that the film industry was not as prosperous as it was before the war when she was filming Gone with the Wind. The U.S.'s pro-Soviet censorship of Hollywood has already begun, and the cases of ten Hollywood people have already broken out.

When McCarthy was in the limelight, he did not point the finger at Hollywood. At best, he could only say that he would continue the previous censorship. The case of the Hollywood Ten had nothing to do with McCarthy.

But now, with Alan Wilson, McCarthy's close friend, Hollywood will never escape Senator McCarthy's sight. The impact of the television industry has only caused Hollywood to be underestimated. Alan Wilson is different. He feels that The idea of ​​a Hollywood Half-Life is not too far-fetched at all.

And as mentioned before, Hollywood does not love the Soviet Union very much, but it will never abandon political correctness. This is determined by the attributes of the actor group and the film industry.

The most important thing is that these groups who pretend to care about political correctness usually kneel and shake their fists, and are very easy to bully. I would be sorry for Alan Wilson's personal ethics of bullying and fearing the strong if he doesn't clean it up.

"If the film industry is in recession, go back to Europe, but don't go back to London. The air in London becomes more unbearable at this time. If you settle in Paris or Rome, I will make arrangements and I can visit you often."

After skillfully preparing a fish, Ellen Wilson and Vivien Leigh sat down face to face. After Vivien Leigh tasted it, she praised it without hesitation, "You always surprise people in this regard."

"I learned from the Chinese that the most indispensable thing in Newfoundland is fish. I almost turned into a fish." Alan Wilson shrugged, "But fortunately, I successfully completed the work and transformed Newfoundland into a fish." For the royal family territory, this result is quite gratifying.”

"You are always so humble!" Vivien Leigh looked admiring, and then hinted that they should get intimate, "No one is here anyway..."

Alan Wilson disagrees with this. What do you mean, no one is coming anyway. It should be said, so what if someone is coming...

In broad daylight, Alan Wilson, who didn't get out of bed, hugged the British treasure, his thoughts were clear, and his thinking was much more active, "I want to invite a friend to Los Angeles as a guest. Do you have any friends who are willing to host him? Don't get me wrong, it's not about... What kind of deal do you want? It’s best if you want an actor who is interested in politics. By the way, who is the president of the Screen Actors Guild now?”

"It's Ronald Reagan, but I don't know him, but Joan knows his wife, Jane Wyman. Now they seem to be filing for divorce, because Ronald Reagan is obviously more interested in politics." Vivien Leigh seemed to be the same. Like a kitten, he hugged Alan Wilson's body and whispered softly, "Many people believe that the political climate is killing Hollywood."

Isn't this a good thing? Alan Wilson touched Vivien Leigh's hair and said softly, "Vivian, I think you may be worrying too much. I believe that the president of the Screen Actors Guild is not that kind of person."

Ronald Reagan? He was the one he was looking for. Apart from him, Alan Wilson would never have thought that it would be more appropriate for him to invite McCarthy, and it would be more appropriate for him to have another person in Hollywood to accompany him.

This third-rate actor, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, seems to have a deceptive work called Reaganomics.

Didn’t President Reagan have the famous Reaganomics? Cut taxes, deregulate finance, and reduce government spending. Under the guidance of Reaganomics, U.S. imperialism officially shifted from being dominated by industrial capital after the war to being dominated by financial capital.

The debt economy, the hollowing out of industries, and the globalization of Wall Street were all things President Reagan started to hit the accelerator.

Donald Reagan was the boss of Merrill Lynch, the world's largest financial group, an important financial backer of Reagan's presidential campaign, and the 66th Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.

Everyone on Wall Street knows that "Reaganomics" refers to Donald Reagan, the man who opened the flood gates on Wall Street. Does Ronald Reagan, an actor and host who was busy selling cigarettes back then, have the ability to name an economics topic?

He, President Reagan, is just the executor of another Reagan Treasury Secretary. It's just that the two of them have the same last name, which makes people mistakenly think that Reaganomics belongs to him.

Is he worthy? If the opponent is not an enemy like Gottlieb, and Reagan's opponent is any normal person, if he grits his teeth and persists for ten years without doing anything, the desperate United States will kneel down.

"Vivian, please help me. With Reagan's level of interest in politics, I believe that if he gets the news, he will take the initiative. I have no doubt about it." Alan Wilson pointed at the British treasure's face. Please ask for help.

"Then it's up to you to see if you can give me enough motivation." Vivien Leigh's eyes were almost dripping with water, and she twisted her body with a peach-like face, and the meaning was self-evident.

As an imperial civil servant who could give everything for the British Empire, Alan Wilson was loyal to the empire and did not care about personal gains and losses. Blood and sweat were nothing.

Vivien Leigh is now the core figure of the largest group in Hollywood's recession, so she naturally has a lot of face. Although this time's entry into Hollywood was not as smooth as the last time, it has greatly expanded my network of contacts.

As early as the British India period, Vivien Leigh had been taught by Alan Wilson's words and deeds, and her communication skills had made great progress. She found a random reason and went to Jane Wyman's home with Joan Crawford.

Jane Wyman and Reagan were in the midst of a divorce lawsuit, but the lawsuit was lengthy, and the two of them dared not claim to be famous, but they were also public figures, so on the surface they were still in peace with each other. Before the divorce, the two still lived under the same roof. Down.

Women can talk about anything when their feelings are in place. The news that the British consul invited the senator to be a guest attracted Reagan, who originally didn't want to care about the family's filial piety, to listen to it with great interest.
