"Then I don't know how Mr. Commissioner can thank us for our help." Hedy Lamarr's eyes were gleaming, and it was obvious that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seek gratitude.
Even though he was already very familiar with it, Alan Wilson still couldn't bear this kind of gaze. Hedy Lamarr's appearance is really not something that ordinary people can bear. Greta Garbo's appearance looks very sharp. If we talk about ancient Greece The sculptures are based on real people. Greta Garbo's angular face is the most suitable for that kind of beauty. As she gets older, this sense of sharpness continues unabated.
People's evaluation of Greta Garbo's divine appearance is based on this comparison. Although Hedy Lamarr is not as sharp in appearance as the former, she is even more impeccable.
When Hedy Lamarr spoke, Ingrid Bergman also joined in. The two of them didn't necessarily want to take advantage of Alan Wilson, but they were happy to see the man in a hurry.
"Dear ladies, I believe you also have a certain understanding of British Malaya. The sunny beaches, leisure under the palm trees, and blue water here should be quite impressive." Alan Wilson paused at this point. After a while, I saw several women who were very interested and said in an uncertain tone, "If you are willing, you can buy a few islands. From now on, the islands you buy will be your private property, but the sovereignty will still be in the hands of the United Kingdom. What do you think of this suggestion?"
"I think we can discuss this suggestion!" Ingrid Bergman's slightly frowned brows relaxed and she said with a smile, "Is it just the price..."
"Today we will talk about film and television. We will talk about this matter in a few days." Alan Wilson reminded that now is not the time to talk about this matter. People talking too much can easily cause unnecessary arguments.
After all, the people in the Malayan colonies believed that every inch of land belonged to them. Of course, it was only they who thought so. Alan Wilson, the imperial commissioner, certainly believed that at least for now, the sovereignty of the British colonies still belonged to the United Kingdom. no doubt.
Both Ingrid Bergman and Ingrid Bergman had some understanding of this man's habits, and they nodded in subtle ways to express their understanding, ending the topic of selling the island.
This banquet was not only filled with white faces, but also Chinese, Malay, and Indian elites. The Indians were received by Vivien Leigh, who had used her influence to save British India from dire straits. In the eyes of many Indians, she was very popular.
Allen Weir walked around and turned around. Although he knew in his heart that the reputation of rape in India was due to the hegemony of British public opinion, since he had preconceived ideas, it was better to be careful.
Fortunately, these upper-class Indians stop at courtesy.
There is a fair amount of respect for the citizens of the colonial master country.
"Commissioner Wilson!" Seeing her man approaching, Vivien Leigh's smile increased significantly. Her signature elf-like gaze swept over the princess behind the man, and she nodded politely.
"Don't bother me, ma'am. I see it's very lively here." Looking over the Asan's, Alan Wilson said hello and continued his important work.
After all, the proportion of Indians is only in single digits. Chinese and Malays have always been the focus of his work. On the surface, they must be treated equally. Even if there is a focus on support, it cannot be shown.
Even Princess Margaret, who was watching from the side, felt that her brother-in-law was really tired. He was like a clown who tossed three balls in the circus, cleverly and skillfully maneuvering among several different ethnic groups.
After a while, Alan Wilson walked from the Malay group to the Chinese group with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Tian!" Alan Wilson opened his arms and hugged Tian Qianqiu. At the same time, he tilted his head to greet the Su Yangs and his wife, focusing on two things without missing a beat.
"Master Zhongtang, this is my second roommate." Tian Qianqiu pulled a woman in her twenties and introduced him to Alan Wilson.
"It turns out to be the second lady. Congratulations to Mr. Tian." Alan Wilson showed a look that every man knows. In principle, British Malaya can marry more than one, and it is not illegal.
As for why it was in principle, because in principle the colonial government advocated monogamy, but of course it only advocated it.
It is not illegal to marry more than one person. This is mainly to encourage most men to have one wife. As for rich and powerful people who want to marry more than one wife, they can be lenient.
After all, the upper class always has some privileges, and marrying more is considered a privilege that is not very harmful. But we must also ensure that most men can have their own spouses, otherwise society will be very unstable. You must know that men with excess energy can do anything.
Fortunately, Malaya is now ahead of many countries, at least within Southeast Asia. Once there is a war in the surrounding areas, immigrants will come in to eliminate the imbalance between men and women.
"No congratulations, but Su Yang must be very envious of me." Tian Qianqiu is completely different from a few years ago. He has entered the role of a successful person, and he has not forgotten to tease the Su Yang and his wife around him.
"Mary and I have a very good relationship." Su Yang spoke righteously, expressing his loyalty to his Newfoundland daughter-in-law who was also present.
"That's really good news." Alan Wilson hypocritically promised to be a model of Chinese-British marriage, although he didn't feel that Su Yang was telling the truth.
This kind of thing may not happen on the surface, but in private, who knows, Su Yang wants to raise several women outside. It is too easy with his current status, but he should not let his wife know, so as to maintain the superficial harmony between husband and wife.
It was also because of this marriage that Su Yang received support from the Newfoundland Foundation, otherwise it would not have been so easy for him to stand out.
This banquet itself has various aspects of life. It is right to have a large group of actors with aura, but which of the guests present has poor acting skills?
Except for Alan Wilson, other British officials did not care whether there was racial discrimination in their hearts. But on the surface, he would never say it out loud.
Alan Wilson strictly prohibited the use of language to discriminate against local ethnic groups in Malaya, no matter which ethnic group. Take him as an example. He has a Chinese name called Ai Zhongtang, and he also has a Peace Cult name called Ahmed Pasha, which he uses to deal with the Malays.
He dare not say that he can eliminate all verbal insults, but among middle and high-level officials, the situation has now greatly improved. After all, everyone knows that as soon as their immediate boss hears about this kind of thing, he will ask them to increase money...
They can't stand being fined all the time, and their salary of only a few hundred pounds a year is not deducted, not to mention the possibility of being sent to the Andaman Islands to take charge of the maintenance of the naval base.
Judging from the current situation, British Malaya is worthy of being a multicultural center with racial harmony and mutual respect. Although the people are actually wary of each other, it doesn't matter. As long as there is no fighting, there is harmony.
Alan Wilson's previous telegram to General Navarre talking about the conflict between the Chinese and Malays was just fake news, and was used to imply the ugly act of using Cambodian soldiers to intensify ethnic conflicts in South Vietnam.
With representatives of all ethnic groups expressing harmony, Alan Wilson returned to the cast with his sister-in-law, his eyes still lingering on Xia Meng and Yachigusa Kaoru for a moment.
Because when they were discussing the topic of men just now, both Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu said that these two actors were very beautiful.
"Have you started to evolve like the wealthy people in Hong Kong so early?" Alan Wilson muttered with a wry smile.
Actors in Xiangjiang are proud to marry into rich families. They have a unique environment. The fundamental reason is that the ceiling in Xiangjiang is too low. For ordinary people, being rich is already the best destination they can find.
Except for a few people such as Jackie Chan, many well-known actors cannot rely on the market in Hong Kong to make big money.
For example, actors from mainland China are completely different. The mainland market has a huge premium for top actors. Even if they don't marry into a wealthy family, top actors are still very successful people. Hong Kong actors do not have this environment.
However, regarding this problem, the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, Alan Wilson is the same as the two big compradors, but the target of success is different. Among the several famous movie stars present, which one has slipped through the net, except for the one who has only been famous for a short time. Marilyn Monroe.
Princess Margaret doesn't understand Chinese, otherwise she would definitely find a way to drive away the two Asian actors at this time, so as not to confuse her brother-in-law.
In the film and television market, Alan Wilson still has a lot to ask for advice. One of the people who knows something about the Hong Kong film market is Vivien Leigh, who has been to Hong Kong several times.
"The cultural center of Malaya does not include movies. This area must be left to Hong Kong. Malaya only needs to make a good market. However, I still have some ideas to say, which can make Hong Kong's movies from the side There is a standard for genres. The two places should help each other, but I will talk to the Hong Kong Governor when the time comes. Movies with too strong historical backgrounds will not be introduced to British Malaya."
Alan Wilson gave Vivien Leigh face-to-face instructions. He knew very well that using film and television works to stuff private goods was not the patent of any one country. These things were common. People in Xiangjiang have a very shallow understanding of history. Yongzheng was inseparable from Xuedizi, and Qianlong knew that picking up girls started in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang. This kind of private goods was very embarrassing to him.
Furthermore, you keep criticizing the Qing Dynasty and Fu Ming Dynasty? Is it inappropriate to spread it to the colony of Malaya? Alan Wilson can't help but make a fuss out of a molehill, and it's not like he has never done anything wrong.
"I don't understand!" Vivien Leigh was confused. She had no idea what her man was thinking.
"Obviously, it's about the Chinese people, but secretly it's about us in the UK. There's nothing wrong with guarding against the slightest!" Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow, "Whether the Chinese are smart or cunning, they like to do this very much. thing."
