British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 265: Goddess' Gift

"I don't know, maybe it means baby?" Vivien Leigh shook her head with a smile, her expression full of indifference.

I don't know, but you also did what your family wanted! Katharine Hepburn's mouth twitched, what kind of trust is this to do such a stupid thing? Even knowing that Vivien Leigh is a desperate person for love, this is too much.

If Vivien Leigh knew Katharine Hepburn's thoughts, she would definitely refute it loudly. If she didn't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is the man she has met who respects women the most and thinks about women the most.

The Barbie doll of the Zodiac needs to be handled by Vivien Leigh herself. The production base is different from the Japanese OEM in the original history. At this time in 1946, the best production base was naturally the one during the World War. The surviving United States of America.

In the original time and space, the first batch of Barbie dolls were made in Japan, and the title of the exhibition was "Barbie - a role model for girls".

But unexpectedly, Barbie was not sold out, but was greeted coldly by toy dealers. After all, she is a brand new thing, a kind of adventure, and the dealers are reluctant to do so, just reluctantly enter a few.

This was just the beginning. Barbie eventually swept the United States within a year and became the favorite toy for American children. After the initial cold reception, Barbie has become the dealer's favorite toy, and it really makes money.

Ellen Wilson felt that with the gimmick of Vivien Leigh and her friends, the fame of these female stars in Hollywood at this time would not have a bad start like the original entrepreneurs, and they have the potential to become an instant hit.

As for copyright, as the most capitalist country, the various copyright protections in the United States can be called hooligans. What's more, the two companies that came to Vivien Leigh to ask her to make a documentary, one of the major shareholders, Disney, was a copyright hooligan.

There is a famous joke about Disney: If one day you fall on an isolated island, the best way to be rescued is to draw a giant Mickey Mouse on the island, and Disney's legal department will come as quickly as possible and sue you.

One of the most classic words ever left by a Disney spokesperson was, "We're always litigating..."

There are a total of 350 lawyers working in the Disney Legal Department, and they definitely have time to deal with one after another lawsuit. There are only 365 days in a year, and almost one lawsuit can be dealt with every day.

In the telegram, Alan Wilson mentioned that although the image is based on Hollywood actresses, it should not be too exposed, and the psychological age of the children should be considered.

Allen Wilson has done what should be done, and the rest is Vivien Leigh's own business.

In this era, it is not uncommon to find factories in the United States. There are factories that can do OEMs everywhere. Vivien Leigh must first get a girlfriend group.

This is also not easy, because the personal images of some female stars are not what they say. Of course, Barbie dolls can also be used as a toy. Everyone knows that Barbie dolls are based on Vivien Leigh and other 12 female stars as templates. , but Vivien Leigh firmly denied it.

That's okay, as if the hallmark of professional basketball in the US is Jerry West dribbling the ball, but the president steadfastly denies it. Jerry West's portrait fee is due as long as he admits it.

Later, China Jordan insisted that his logo had nothing to do with Jordan, but that the athlete said it with a table tennis racket, and it was completely learned from the representatives of advanced productive forces.

Because of the issue of portrait rights, Vivien Leigh still has a lot to do. Of course, the first thing to do is to get these female stars and let them know about it. Katherine Hepburn's home has almost become the base camp of the girlfriends group, the hometown of the Zodiac.

Ingrid Bergman and others thought that it was Vivien Leigh, who was no longer limited to star status, and brought them here to talk about character design, but no, today's Vivien Leigh was talking about Disney, told the ins and outs of the matter, and then Said, "If you don't believe me, ask Catherine. When the other party came, Catherine was also there."

In an instant, the atmosphere of the room was detonated. A group of female stars were talking and expressing their opinions one after another, which made the room look messy. Vivien Leigh must agree to it. The power of the Disney Company is very great.

It is not weaker than the eight major Hollywood film companies, but the focus is different. Disney also has a film division, which is a good thing, so try to get Vivien Leigh to agree.

Even the female stars who are affiliated with MGM, the most powerful company at present, are envious of Vivien Leigh being dropped from the sky.

Look at the star lineup that MGM has now, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Jane Harlow, Spencer Tracy, Robert Taylor, Joan Crawford, Norma Sheila and more Wait.

Of course, other studios have also attacked MGM, arguing that MGM is just a company that shoots mediocre films, relying on the stars to make the audience pay the IQ tax.

"Betty, Ingrid, I made a request." Vivien Leigh said her thoughts, "We are all female stars, and we are not as good as men in terms of movie treatment. We can only work harder on derivatives. In fact, I have I have an idea, but it may require you to come up with a certain amount of portrait rights."

The female stars present nodded. Vivien Leigh herself is an example. The male lead in Gone with the Wind is paid dozens of times her salary. This situation also exists now. Many female stars present have not received one hundred thousand dollars. remuneration.

It's no wonder they worked so hard, and leaned up when they saw a hot spot. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were sitting on opposite ends of a group of female stars. He glanced at the other party's actions, and the disdain on his face flashed.

It's not just Vivien Leigh's own problem that can't be compared with the male actors' remuneration, but the whole problem of these Hollywood stars. When I heard Vivien Leigh talk about this, I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Even Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, actresses who don't feel comfortable in the same room with each other, agree.

Most of the portrait rights of the female stars present are in their own hands, and a few expressed their willingness to talk to the company about this matter. I believe it is not a big problem. This made Vivien Leigh relieved, and the first level was over.

Then I negotiated conditions with William Hess, hoping to get some help from Disney, a company that spares no effort to maintain copyright. After Vivien Leigh revealed this idea, all the female stars agreed with it, and there were copyright hooligans cheering on the side, and they talked to the company. time, it will be more confident.

In the final analysis, the worst female stars in Katherine Hepburn's house are actors who already have a certain reputation. Many of them are behind the scenes. Only then can they have a good talk with the company. Transparency, so what else is there to talk about? Obediently standing on the red sofa and jade body, asking for a chance is higher than the success rate of this matter.

With everyone's support, Vivien Leigh is very happy. She now feels that she is changing the harsh employment environment for actresses, and she has a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

Although she was happy, Vivien Leigh did not have a single thing. Most of the things said in Alan Wilson's telegram did not need to be kept secret, but there was one thing that Vivien Leigh paid attention to keeping secret.

After most of the members of the girlfriend group left with great interest, Vivien Leigh kept Heidi Lamar and asked with a eager look, "Heidi, is the patent you once said belong to me?"

"Of course, that kind of patent that is not valued is of course owned by me." Heidi Rama looked a little sad when she heard about this, but she still gave the answer readily.

She can even memorize a brief description of the patent. The owners of the patent technology: Heidi Lamar, George Antel; Secure communication system: a new concept of frequency hopping technology and a series of wireless signal technology; Patent technology application time: one June 10, 941.

Until the end of the war, Heidi Lamar was suspected by the FBI because of her marriage in Austria, and the patent matter was naturally forgotten~lightnovelpub.net~ At present, Heidi Lamar has a kind, I love America, but America doesn't love my feelings.

Patents are ignored, and the development of film and television is not satisfactory compared with many people. She is very envious of Vivien Leigh. She can get praise from many voices without doing anything. Now even ABC and Gannett Press Trust are looking for her. Coming to the door and seeking cooperation with an active attitude made Heidi Rama very low.

Vivien Leigh did not continue to ask, she had to send the confirmation message to New Delhi first.

It was the first time for Vivien Leigh to get valuable news, and she also needed the guidance of her family.

Kolkata, the South Asian subcontinent, about the arrival of the first batch of materials donated by the Indian goddess Vivien Leigh in the United States. The news made people in the Kolkata industrial area sing and dance with traditional skills, proving with practical actions that Indian musicals are not a waste of fame.

The cargo arrived two days later than expected due to news that the waters near the Andaman Islands were blocked.

But it doesn't matter, this is the great British treasure born in British India, who has done a good job for his hometown.

This news alone is enough to make the Indians who have been tortured by the weather happy, and Andrew, the chief executive of Bangladesh Province, who has been missing for a while, has appeared again.

The whole person seems to be a little richer, and with a loud voice, he sings about what Vivien Leigh has done for British India, and British India is proud of Vivien Leigh.

"This is a gift from the goddess, and it is worthy of the gratitude of all Indians." Andrew's face was full of enthusiasm, and he was definitely not making a fortune in the drought, but was happy with the news of the aid.

"Gift from the Goddess!" This is also the headline of most newspapers in British India today, expressing gratitude for the fact that Vivien Leigh is in the United States, but works hard for British India.
