Chapter 265 – The Gift of the Goddess

“I don’t know, maybe it means baby?” Vivienne laughed and shook her head, her expression full of carelessness.

I don’t know, you did what your family wanted too! The corners of Katherine Hepburn’s mouth twitched, what kind of trust was it to do something so stupid? Even if she knew that Vivien Leigh was a person who would do anything for love, but this was too much.

If Fei Wenli knows Catherine Hepburn’s thoughts, she will certainly be justified and loudly retort, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand, this is the most respectful of women she has seen, the most women think about the man.

Zodiac Barbie, this matter also needs to Fei Wenli do their own, the production base is different from the original history of the Japanese OEM, in 1946 this time, the best production base as a matter of course, is the United States of America survived the World War.

In the original time and space, the first batch of Barbie dolls were manufactured in Japan, the exhibition title is “Barbie – role models for girls”.

Surprisingly, Barbie was not sold out, but rather met with a cold reception from toy dealers. After all, she is a brand new thing, is a kind of adventure, the dealer is reluctant to do so, only reluctantly into a few.

This was just the beginning, Barbie eventually swept across the United States within a year, becoming the most beloved toy of American children. After the initial cold reception, Barbie became the most favored toy dealers, real money na.

Alan Wilson felt that with Vivien Leigh and her friends this gimmick, at this time the fame of these actresses in Hollywood, will not be like the original entrepreneurs as a bad start, fully equipped with the potential for a hit.

As for copyright, as the most capitalist country, the United States of America’s various copyright protection can be called rogue. What’s more, the two companies that took the initiative to find Vivien Leigh to ask her to make a documentary, one of the major shareholders, Disney, is a copyright hooligan.

About Disney, there is a famous paragraph: if one day you fall to an island, want to be rescued, the best way is to draw a huge Mickey Mouse on the island, Disney’s legal department will be the fastest speed to come, to sue you.

One of the most iconic quotes ever left by a Disney press spokesman was, “We’re always in a lawsuit ……”

With a total of three hundred and fifty attorneys employed in Disney’s legal department, there is definitely time to deal with the lawsuits that come and go, and with only three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, you can deal with almost one lawsuit a day.

Among the telegrams Allen Wilson mentioned that although the image was modeled after Hollywood actresses, it should not be too revealing and should take into account the mental age of the children.

Allen Wilson has done, the rest of the matter is Fei Wenli’s own business.

This era of the United States to find factories is not uncommon, can be OEM factories everywhere, Vivien Leigh first of all to deal with the group of girlfriends.

This is also not easy, because some actresses’ personal image is not their own say, of course, Barbie dolls such toys can also play ball, everyone knows that Barbie dolls are made with Vivien Leigh and other twelve female celebrities as a template, but Vivien Leigh on the adamant denial.

This can also be, like the American professional basketball logo is Jerry West dribbling, but the president adamantly denied. As long as admitted to have to pay Jerry West portrait fee.

Then later China Jordan hard to say their logo and Jordan has nothing to do with, but athletes holding ping-pong paddles on the past, completely followed the representatives of the advanced productive forces to learn.

Because of the problem of portrait rights, Fei Wenli to do a lot of efforts, of course, first of all, or to deal with these actresses, so that they know about this matter, Katherine Hepburn’s home, almost become the base camp of the girlfriends group, the old home of the zodiac.

Ingrid Bergman and others thought, is no longer limited to the star status of Fei Wenli, and again brought them to talk about the persona of the persona, but no, today’s Fei Wenli talked about Disney, told the ins and outs of the matter, and then said, “Do not believe that you ask Kathryn, the other side to come, Kathryn was also present.”

In an instant, the atmosphere of the room was detonated, a group of actresses spoke up and expressed their opinions, making the room seem chaotic, so that Vivien Lei must agree, the power of the Disney company can be very big.

It is not weaker than the eight major Hollywood movie studios, it is just that the areas of concentration are different. The Disney Company also has a movie division, which is a good thing, so do your best to make Vivien Lei agree.

Even the few actresses who were attached among the most powerful MGM company at the moment were envious of Fei Wenli being dropped from the sky.

Look at the lineup of stars that MGM has now, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Spencer Quaysay, Robert Taylor, Joan Crawford, Naumah Sierra, and so on.

Of course other studios have also taken potshots at MGM, arguing that MGM is just a company that makes mediocre films and relies on a web of stars to make audiences pay an IQ tax.

“Betty, Ingrid, I’ve made a request.” Vivien Lei opened her mouth to say her idea, “We are all female stars, we are inferior to men in terms of movie treatment, we can only work more from the top of the derivatives, in fact, I have an idea, it just might require you to take out certain likeness rights.”

The female stars present nodded their heads, Vivien Lei herself is an example, Gone with the Wind among the male lead actor’s pay is dozens of times that of hers, this situation also exists now, many of the female stars present have not taken a hundred thousand dollars in pay.

This is not to blame for their bitter camp, see the hot spot to lean on it, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford sat on both ends of a group of female stars, but at this time, but coincidentally nodded, but then noticed each other’s behavior, small face glanced, face disdain flashed.

Can not and male actors in the paycheck on a par, not just Fei Wenli own problem, but they are these Hollywood leading flower girl all the problem, heard Fei Wenli talk about this matter, can not help but all nodded their heads in agreement.

Even Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, actresses who were uncomfortable being in the same room as each other, recognized this.

Most of the actresses present have their portrait rights in their own hands, and a few have expressed their willingness to talk to the company about this matter, and I believe it is not a big problem, which makes Fei Wenli relieved that the first hurdle is passed.

Then it was time to talk to William Hess about the conditions, hoping to get some help from Disney, a company that spares no effort in defending copyrights, and after Vivien Leigh divulged this idea, all the actresses were very much in favor of it, and with the copyright hooligans on the side to help them, they were much more confident when they talked to the company.

In the final analysis in Katherine Hepburn’s home actress, the worst are already have a certain popularity of the actor, several are after the movie evening, which can talk to the company, if a can only do the red couch of the small transparent, that also talk about what? Behave in the red sofa jade body, beg for a chance than this matter success rate is a little bigger.

With everyone’s support, Fei Wenli is very happy, she now feels that she is changing the poor employment environment for actresses, there is a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

Although happy, Fei Wenli also did not have a thing, Alan Wilson telegram among the things said, most of the things that there is no need for secrecy, but there is also a thing for Fei Wenli attention to secrecy.

After most of the members of the BFF group had left in high spirits, Vivien Leigh left Hedy Lamarr behind, and with a thirsty look asked, “Hedy, do you ever say the patents that go to me?”

“Of course, that kind of unappreciated patent, of course it goes to me.” Hedy Lamarr looked a little grim when she heard that it was this matter, but gave her answer with alacrity.

She could even remember the brief description of the patent, Patented Technology Owner: Hedy Lamarr, George Antares; Confidential Communications System: a completely new concept in frequency hopping technology and a range of wireless signaling techniques; Patented Technology Filed: June 10, 1941

Hedy Lamarr until the end of the war, are because of the marriage in Austria in the FBI suspicion, the patent thing naturally also faded into oblivion, for the time being Hedy Lamarr has a kind of, I love the United States, but the United States does not love me feeling.

Patents are ignored, film and television development is not satisfactory compared to many people, she is all very envious of Vivien Leigh, almost do not have to do anything, you can get a lot of voices of praise, and now even the American Broadcasting Corporation and Gannett Newspaper Trust have approached the door to the active posture of begging for cooperation, which makes Hedy Lamarr very low.

Vivienne did not pursue the matter further, she had to send the confirmation, first, to New Delhi.

Extracting valuable information was also a first for Vivien Leigh, and she still needed guidance from her family.

Kolkata, South Asian subcontinent, about the Indian goddess Vivien Leigh in the United States to raise funds for the first batch of supplies arrived, the news let the people in the industrial zone of Kolkata, played the traditional skills of singing and dancing up, with the actual action to prove that Indian song and dance film is not for nothing.

The shipment had arrived two days later than expected because of the news that the waters off the Andaman Islands had been blocked.

But it didn’t matter, this was a great British treasure, born in British India, doing his bit for his homeland.

The news itself was enough to make the Indians, who had already been tormented enough by the weather, happy, and Andrews, the administrator of Bengal, who had not been seen for some time, appeared again.

The whole man seemed a little richer, and in a booming voice, sang the praises of all that Vivienne had done for British India, which was proud of Vivienne.

“This is a gift from the Goddess and deserves the gratitude of all Indians.” Andrew was all over the place, beaming with a look of absolute joy not at having made a killing in the drought, but at the news of the arrival of aid.

“A gift from the Goddess!” That was the headline of most of the newspapers in British India today, expressing gratitude for the fact that Vivienne was in the United States but was laboring for British India.
