Chapter 462 Reagan

“Looking at the box office this year, it looks as if the industry is having another bad year.” The whispers of a group of warblers in the living room downstairs in Vivien Leigh’s apartment were like birdsong in the morning, causing Alan Wilson to wake up leisurely.

The position of the beautiful woman beside him was empty, apparently greeting guests downstairs, Allen Wilson got up and put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to carry out a basic cleanup, and then went downstairs with a big bare face in his nightgown.

In a sea of sidelong glances, he made his own way to the kitchen, the sound of chewing traveling out of the kitchen as several women looked at Vivienne with surprised faces, as if waiting for an explanation.

“New faces!” Before Vivien Lei could speak, Alan Wilson had already come out of the kitchen with food, looking at a couple of what should be actresses, but there was no impression inside his head.

“Lana Turner, Joan Bennett!” Vivienne introduced softly and gently, “The food is cold, shall I make you something new?”

“A couple of Barbie’s shareholders?” Alan Wilson looked deeply at the two actresses, shook his head and said, “I have no higher pursuit of food, I’m a little tired, I’ll go up and sleep for a while, you guys continue to chat.”

For Alan Wilson, he was merely coming from the icy Newfoundland, to the western United States for a vacation. While juggling some work, as for getting to know more beautiful women, that would of course be better, but not now, the Great British Treasure has emptied him.

“I said why is Vivian glowing today, so someone is pampering her.” Lana Turner twittered with an I-get-it expression, “What state is he from, what does he do, businessman or director.”

“He’s British!” Vivien Leigh was slightly offended, Lana Turner’s words were clearly saying that Vivien Leigh and Alan Wilson were trading flesh, which was very outrageous.

Obviously both had decided last night that they wanted a baby belonging to the two of them to witness the love, and now to hear such words made Vivien Leigh feel rather prickly.

“Lana didn’t mean which.” Joan Bennett explained from the side, “It’s just that we haven’t known each other for a short period of time, and we haven’t seen you have any personal feelings yet, so it’s a bit of a surprise.”

The conversation returned to the subject of movie ticker reels, and it was a while before Lana Turner and Joan Bennett excused themselves.

Vivienne folded back upstairs and couldn’t get enough of looking at the man who had been hollowed out, “Did I grow flowers on my face?” Alan Wilson spoke with his eyes closed, “Two of your star friends are gone?”

“Well, gone, the movie industry is not doing well this year, and a lot of people have a lot of time to socialize.” Vivien Leigh held and looked at Alan Wilson’s face and asked gently, “Had enough?”

Alan Wilson snapped his eyes open and thought seriously, “Let’s go to the kitchen together and make something.”

Hollywood’s golden age was technically considered over, but the many actresses left over from the golden age were still active. So to the public’s perception of the movie industry is still starry-eyed. It creates the illusion that the golden age is still alive!

For these first-line actors, no one understands more than they do, the extent of the decline of the movie industry.

Alan Wilson, of course, know in their hearts, this is because the United States television is being popularized, the impact on the film industry, this is the most fundamental reason, but is it? In the British perspective, it could have another reason.

Movie actresses who started to make a name for themselves from this time onwards faced a much harder competition in the industry than they did before the outbreak of World War II.

In the 1940s, the American film industry was considered to be quite leftist, and many Hollywood filmmakers joined the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) or formed trade unions, and more and more of their works exposed social conflicts and the lives of the underclass.

Hollywood stars do not talk about political tendencies, because they try to always stand on the side of “political correctness”, such as humanitarianism, anti-war, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression, caring for the disadvantaged and so on.

Because the group of actors and actresses is relatively special, although the big stars have enough financial resources, but to make a living depends on the degree of popularity, naturally, the stars can not be contrary to the thinking of the public, so the group of celebrities like to set up a persona.

This time Fei Wenli came to the United States, obviously also can feel the movie industry is not as prosperous as before the war when shooting Gone with the Wind. The pro-Soviet censorship of Hollywood in the United States had begun long ago, and the Hollywood Ten cases had all broken out.

When McCarthy was in the limelight, he didn’t point the finger at Hollywood, and at best he could only say that he was continuing the previous censorship, and that the Hollywood Ten case had nothing to do with McCarthy.

But now it, there is Allen Wilson this McCarthy’s close friends in, Hollywood will not be out of McCarthy Senator’s line of sight, the impact of the television industry is only to let Hollywood into the underestimation of Allen Wilson is different, he felt that Hollywood’s half of the life of the idea, a little bit is not too much.

And as stated before, Hollywood doesn’t count itself as much of a lover of the Soviet Union, but it will never shed political correctness, as dictated by the attributes of both the actor community and the movie industry.

On top of that, these groups that pretend to be concerned about political correctness are usually knee-jerk swingers and very good bullies. It’s a shame that Alan Wilson’s bullying personal integrity is not cleaned up.

“Go back to Europe if the movie industry is in the doldrums, but don’t go back to London, the air in London gets more unbearable the more this time of year, if you settle in Paris or Rome, I’ll arrange it, and I can still visit you often.”

Skillfully making a good fish, Alan Wilson and Vivien Leigh both sat down facing each other, after Vivien Leigh tasted it, she didn’t mince her words and praised it, “You are always a surprise in this area.”

“Learned it from the Chinese, the last thing Newfoundland needs is fish, I’m turning into one.” Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders, “However, the good thing is that the job was successfully done, and the result of turning Newfoundland into a royal territory is still quite gratifying.”

“You are always so modest!” Vivien Leigh looked adoring, then hinted that it should be intimate, “It’s not like anyone’s coming …… anyway.”

This Alan Wilson begs to differ, what do you mean no one comes again anyway, I should say, so what if someone comes ……

In broad daylight, not getting up Alan Wilson wrapped his arms around the Great British Treasure, the thoughts are through, even the thinking is much more active, “I want to invite a friend to come to Los Angeles as a guest, do you have a friend who is willing to receive a little bit, do not misunderstand, is not involved in any transaction, to be a male actor, interested in politics is the best. By the way, who’s the president of the Screen Actors Guild now?”

“It’s Ronald Reagan, but I don’t know him, Joan does know his wife, Jane Wyman. It seems they’re in the middle of a legal divorce right now, since Ronald Reagan is apparently more interested in politics.” Like a kitten, Vivienne wrapped her arms around Alan Wilson’s body and whispered, “A lot of people think that the political ethos is killing Hollywood.”

Isn’t this a good thing? Alan Wilson stroked Vivien Leigh’s hair and whispered, “Vivien Leigh, I think maybe you guys are overthinking it, I’m sure a president of the actors’ union isn’t that kind of person.”

Ronald Reagan? Looking for him, besides him Alan Wilson couldn’t even think of another person in Hollywood who would be more appropriate to accompany him when he invited McCarthy himself.

This third-rate actor, late-in-life Alzheimer’s sufferer, seemed to have a deceptive work called Reaganomics.

Didn’t President Reagan have a well-known Reaganomics? Tax cuts, financial de-regulation, and compression of government spending. Under Reaganomics, the US empire officially shifted from being dominated by industrial capital in the post-war period to being dominated by financial capital.

The debt economy, the hollowing out of industry, the globalization of Wall Street, these are all things that President Reagan began to slam on the gas.

Donald Reagan, the boss of Merrill Lynch, the world’s largest financial conglomerate in those days, and a key moneymaker in President Reagan’s campaign, was the sixty-sixth Secretary of the Treasury of the U.S. Empire.

Wall Street knows that “Reaganomics,” referring to Donald Reagan, the man who opened the floodgates of Wall Street. Did Ronald Reagan, the actor and host who was busy selling cigarettes back in the day, have it in him to title an economics?

He, President Reagan, was merely the executor of another Reagan Secretary of the Treasury, and it just so happened that the two men had the same last name, which led people to believe that Reaganomics was his.

And he deserves it? If the opponent hadn’t been an enemy of the Gore map variety, Reagan’s opponent would have been anyone sane enough to grit his teeth for ten years and do nothing, and the cockamamie America itself would have been on its knees.

“Vivian, do me a favor, with Reagan’s interest in politics, I’m sure he’d be a little more forthcoming if he got the message, I have no doubt about that.” Alan Wilson pleaded for help as he planted a kiss on the cheek of the Great British Treasure.

“Then it’s up to you, to give me enough motivation.” Vivien Leigh’s eyes were practically dripping with water, and her face was like a peach blossom as she twisted her body, the significance of which was already self-evident.

As an imperial civil servant who could give everything for the British Empire, Alan Wilson was loyal to the empire, and would not care about personal gains and losses, and blood and sweat were trivial.

Vivien Leigh now as Hollywood slump in the middle of the biggest group of core people, naturally very dignified. This time to break into Hollywood although not as smooth as the last time, but in the network has been greatly expanded.

As early as in the British India period, have Alan Wilson words and teach Vivien Leigh, social skills have been greatly improved, casually find a reason, and Joan Crawford went to Jane Wyman’s home.

Jane Wyman and Reagan are fighting a divorce lawsuit, but the lawsuit is long, and the two do not dare to say that there is a face, but it is also a public figure, so on the surface is still considered to be peaceful, not before the divorce, the two are still living under the same roof.

Women, feelings in place everything said, about the British consul to invite the senator to be a guest of the news, the original did not want to care about the shortcomings of the parents of Reagan attracted to, listen to a lot of interest.
