British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 246: U.S. Steel

Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Tallulahban Kerhead, Pauline Goldie, Miriam Hopkins, Joan Bennett.

Familiar star names are listed, many of them were rivals 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.

Plus Katharine Hepburn's contacts, well-known managers, and even politicians, are on the invite list.

Soon the news spread, and Vivien Leigh, Katherine Hepburn, and the recently scandal-ridden Ingrid Bergman jointly issued an invitation to hold a charity dinner in which celebrities were invited to participate in their common name. All of a sudden, the circle of ladies and celebrities exploded, making everyone who thinks they deserve a place look forward to it.

It's true that Ingrid Bergman is now riddled with scandals, but this is actually a matter of you poor people who really understand cars. People who also work hard in the film and television industry don't care about this kind of thing at all.

What a common unspoken rule this is, not to mention the red sofa that all actors tacitly agree on. Many actors have not even been able to qualify for the red sofa, so they should take the initiative to find the director.

What happened to Ingrid Bergman, even if true, was just a mistake that everyone makes.

It's just that some people who buy a ticket and consider themselves to be their parents are paying attention. What is there to blame for a simple business transaction?

Ingrid Bergman has attracted a wave of attention. Katherine Hepburn's qualifications are expected, but the biggest focus is still on Vivien Leigh. Now things in British India are well known and become the focus of discussion for some people.

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 the popularity, but they are afraid that there is no popularity. No matter what the popularity is, as long as there is popularity, it is good.

For various reasons, this rumor has just come out, and there is already a hot response, which makes Vivien Leigh very much looking forward to it.

"Vivian, you're too concerned about this." Katherine Hepburn tilted her head, very strange about this kind of thing.

"I am the honorary president of the British and Indian Actors Guild, and I have just taken office." Vivien Leigh said lightly, "I just took office and there was a drought, and I have to use my popularity to let everyone do their part in misery. Power, one can't be too sympathetic..."

A sneeze! Alan Wilson, who was in the Governor's Palace, sneezed several times in a row, with a suspicious look on his face, feeling the position of this groundless wind.

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 a noble, and 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 was not short of money, she just wanted to be respected.

Ingrid Bergman just wanted to wash the whites through charity, and Vivien Leigh wanted to consolidate her status through charity. attract the attention of the government.

In British India, seeing how Ellen Wilson was unequivocal and controlled all aspects of the entire British India, she knew that that was the real right, the unchecked right. In the eyes of that man, the attention she once pursued was a burden, and civil servants did not need fame at all.

Even if it is more famous, Alan Wilson, who left a classic image in saving women in France, is definitely not worth any British.

The wine parties of the three major actresses are eagerly awaited, and they must be the top ones in Hollywood. They belong to the kind that many small stars, models, and sponsors have to squeeze their heads to enter.

A strong Hollywood lineup will bring countless opportunities. This is true both for investors and for the stars and young actors.

For many people, this is a good opportunity to expand their contacts. The communication at many receptions will greatly promote the many filming and cooperation in Hollywood in the next year.

There are often many scripts that are valued in communication, and many directors are often finalized to direct films here, and often more stars will be invited to audition for a certain production, with preliminary cooperation intentions.

Maybe big stars, big directors and big producers will keep their hearts under these temptations, but how can those little stars, little actors, little directors and little 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 in the destiny?

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 three actresses, whether it is Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman, who is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. , are all characters with their own traffic.

Even Los Angeles' entertainment newspapers reported the original intention of the charity dinner with a front-page headline, linking it to the current drought in British India.

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

British India was well known for the current drought, and because of Gandhi's actions, it caused a wave in the United States and became a figure many Americans wanted to know about.

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

Many media praised Vivien Leigh for completing a gorgeous turn on the road of her life. She used to be an angel, but now the angel has fallen into the world. As for the boycotted Ingrid Bergman, she also received some praise, not Less newspapers believe that the previous accusations against Ingrid Bergman were too harsh.

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

But none of this is important, the banquet started with such a splendid appearance.

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

Women in Hollywood, the waistband is notoriously loose, it always falls off automatically for no reason.

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

Because of the relationship between the British, Vivien Leigh is already rare and simple, at least compared to the stars in the United States, this is the case.

There were also many stars that Vivien Leigh knew well, such as Bette Davis who had auditioned in Gone with the Wind. The most iconic feature of Bette Davis was that pair of ecstatic eyes.

Someone wrote "Bette Davis Eyes" in order to praise her eyes.

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

It means that what happened in British India has 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 and is widely known today, she very much wanted to do something for British India at this time.

"Vivien Leigh, right? Betty, you know, your friend speaks differently from ordinary stars." The man next to Bette Davis, listening to Vivien Leigh for a while, tilted his head and said, "It's like It's those in the federal government who speak."

"Drake, you think too much." Bette Davis smiled and joked with the gold owner who had recently caught up with her, "She is British, not us Americans."

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

Among the guests who came in ~lightnovelpub.net~ were not all film-related practitioners, such as the company where Drake worked, and the film industry had nothing to do with it, but a company called American Steel.

The company was established in 1901 by the merger of more than a dozen companies including Carnegie Steel and United Steel. Modestly speaking, it is half of the steel industry in the United States.

Derek maintained good patience. Like these Hollywood celebrities, after listening to Vivien Leigh's eloquent speech, as well as the next act of kindness, he watched curiously. The whole process was quite like this, as if these so-called so-called Hollywood celebrities are like real celebrities...

At the reception stage, Derek brought Bette Davis, who was following suit, to Vivien Leigh, Katherine Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman, and began to introduce himself and express his concern and best wishes for the situation in British India.

"Betty, who is your male partner?" Ingrid Bergman asked when she saw that Bette Davis was somewhat passive.

"I work in a steel company." Derek smiled mildly and asked Vivien Leigh curiously, "Miss Vivienne just came over from British India, can you tell me how the steel industry in British India is developing? Now, maybe there will be a chance to work together?"
