British civil servant

The East Coast couldn't beat Edison, so independent filmmakers dragged their families to the West Coast and eventually settled in Hollywood.

It was a long way from the base camp of the Edison Trust, almost across the entire United States, and it was a difficult and expensive journey for federal police and gangsters.Even if the patent lawsuit is lost, it is not easy to enforce it.In addition, it is close to neighboring Mexico, which makes it easy to evade legal constraints and sanctions.

With the expiry of film patents, Hollywood can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold, of course, from time to time and from time to time.The story of a brave man turning into a dragon is the same in any industry.

The current Democratic Party is still a political party supported by the middle and lower classes. The Democratic Party in the 21st century is supported by multinational giants.

Why are the Democrats and the plutocratic elite on the same path?What kind of ideas and interests allow them to connect seamlessly?Shouldn't capitalists support small government and oppose big government?

If you think about it carefully, this problem is too simple: for those who already have a huge amount of capital, they logically do not want to have fierce competitors, and the monopoly of political and business collusion can ensure that their huge capital status is not threatened and damage.

The same goes for business and tech giants.Some large companies in the United States are catching up from behind, gradually growing and becoming bigger, and the reason why they can challenge the old companies is that the United States advocates free competition and has a mechanism for the survival of the fittest. Once it is time to become the target of others, it no longer wants to have free competition. .

Forerunners set up barriers for latecomers, which is most easily realized under the conditions of resource concentration and monopoly caused by big government.

It’s the same with Hollywood. Now the major Hollywood film companies are already in a de facto monopoly. What they like is the convenience given by the big government, and they don’t really like the Soviet Union. The so-called pro-Soviet stronghold is of course fake.

However, as a good friend of Congressman McCarthy, Alan Wilson felt that Hollywood was really a pro-Soviet stronghold, and it really couldn't be true.

This time Alan Wilson visited Hollywood first, and as a friend, he is definitely interesting enough to accumulate material for McCarthy's attacks later.

Packing her bags, Greta Garbo delivered them to the door, and then saw the man turn around and gave a long farewell kiss, which didn't stop until her breathing became short of breath.

"Go, Vivian is waiting for you?" Greta Garbo took a few deep breaths to adjust, maintaining a blank expression, and urged Alan Wilson to leave quickly.

"Oh, dear, you can't see me pretending like an ordinary person, it will make me sad." Alan Wilson licked his lips, feeling the fragrance of his lips and teeth, and said.

But having said that, he really should visit the Great Britain Treasure, and I miss it after a long time.

Of course, the main thing is to help the great close ally and eradicate the harm caused by the pro-Soviet base camp. Considering the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson is duty-bound.

Big government, fairness, that's heresy!Free competition and the law of the jungle are the beacons of the capitalist world, and that is the real America. For the sake of the real America, it is nothing for him to work hard.

A few days later, Alan Wilson has arrived in Los Angeles. It must be admitted that the environment here is much more livable than the East Coast.The only natural disaster that occurs from time to time is a wildfire from time to time.

Chapter 462 Reagan

"Judging from this year's box office, it seems that the industry is having a hard time." In the living room downstairs of Vivien Leigh's apartment, a group of yingyingyanyans were whispering, like the singing of birds in the morning, waking Alan Wilson up.

The place of the beautiful woman next to her was empty, and she was obviously greeting guests downstairs. Alan Wilson got up and put on his clothes, went to the bathroom for basic cleaning, and went downstairs in his nightgown.

With sideways glances, he went to the kitchen on his own. The sound of chewing came from the kitchen. Several women looked at Vivien Leigh in surprise, as if they were waiting for an explanation.

"New faces!" Before Vivien Leigh could speak, Alan Wilson had already come out of the kitchen with food, and looked at some actresses, but he didn't have any impression in his mind.

"Lana Turner, Joan Bennett!" Vivien Leigh introduced softly, and said softly, "The food is cold, shall I make you something new?"

"Several shareholders of Barbie dolls?" Alan Wilson took a deep look at the two actresses, shook his head and said, "I don't have any higher pursuit of food, I'm a little tired, I'll go to sleep for a while, and you guys continue chatting. "

For Alan Wilson, he just came to the western United States for a vacation from the icy Newfoundland.Taking care of some work at the same time, as for getting to know more beauties, that would of course be better, but it can't work now, the Great Britain Treasure has already emptied him.

"I said Vivienne is so glamorous today, so someone took care of her." Lana Turner chirped, with an expression I understood, "Which state is he from, what does he do, businessman or director."

"He's British!" Vivien Leigh was a little displeased. Lana Turner's words obviously meant that Vivien Leigh and Alan Wilson were engaging in a physical transaction, which was very outrageous.

Obviously the two of them had already decided last night that they wanted a baby belonging to them to witness their love. Hearing such words now made Vivien Li feel quite harsh.

"Lana doesn't mean anything." Joan Bennett explained from the side, "It's just that we've known each other for a long time, and I haven't seen you have any personal feelings, so I'm a little surprised."

The topic returned to the topic of introverted movie quotations, and it took a while for Lana Turner and Joan Bennett to leave.

Vivien Leigh turned back upstairs, looked at the man who had been hollowed out, and couldn't get enough of it, "I have flowers on my face?" Alan Wilson closed his eyes and said, "Your two celebrity friends are gone?"

"Well, let's go, this year's film industry is not easy to do, and many people have a lot of time to socialize." Vivien Leigh looked at Alan Wilson's face, and asked gently, "Are you full?"

Alan Wilson suddenly opened his eyes, thought about it seriously, and said, "Let's go to the kitchen and do something together."

The golden age of Hollywood is technically over, but many actresses left over from the golden age are still active.Therefore, the film industry is still star-studded in the perception of the public.It creates the illusion that the golden age is still there!

For these first-line actors, no one understands the extent of the decline of the film industry better than them.

Of course, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that this was because American TV was becoming popular and had an impact on the film industry. This was the most fundamental reason, but was it?On the British side, it can have another reason.

From this time on, film actresses who have been outstanding in the industry face much more difficult competition in the industry than before the outbreak of World War II.

In the 40s, the film industry in the United States was considered to be a group with serious "leftization". Many Hollywood filmmakers joined the American Communist Party or formed trade unions. More and more works revealed social contradictions and the lives of the people at the bottom. .

Hollywood stars can’t talk about political orientation, because they try to always stand on the side of “political correctness”, such as humanitarianism, anti-war, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression, caring for vulnerable groups, etc.

Because actors are a special group, although big stars have enough financial resources, they still depend on their popularity to make a living. Naturally, celebrities cannot go against the public's thinking, so celebrity groups like to set up people.

This time when Vivien Leigh came to the United States, she could obviously feel that the film industry was not as prosperous as it was when Gone With the Wind was filming before the war.The pro-Soviet scrutiny of Hollywood in the United States has already begun, and the cases of ten people in Hollywood have already broken out.

When McCarthy was in the limelight, he didn't point the finger at Hollywood very much. At best, he could only say that he continued the previous review and that the Hollywood Ten case had nothing to do with McCarthy.

But now, with Alan Wilson, McCarthy's close friend, Hollywood will never be out of Senator McCarthy's sight. The impact of the TV industry is just to make Hollywood underestimated. Alan Wilson is different. The idea of ​​Hollywood's Half-Life is not exaggerated at all.

And as I said before, Hollywood does not love the Soviet Union very much, but it will never abandon political correctness, which is determined by the attributes of both the actor group and the film industry.

The most important thing is that these groups who pretend to care about political correctness usually kneel and punch, very easy to bully.I'm sorry for Alan Wilson's bullying personal ethics if he doesn't clean up.

"Go back to Europe if the film industry is in a downturn, but don't go back to London. The air in London is becoming more and more unbearable at this time. If you settle in Paris or Rome, I will arrange it and I can visit you often."

After skillfully making a fish, Alan Wilson and Vivien Leigh sat down face to face. After Vivien Leigh tasted it, she praised without hesitation, "You always surprise people in this respect."

"Learning from the Chinese, what Newfoundland lacks most is fish. I'm almost turning into a fish." Alan Wilson shrugged, "However, fortunately, I successfully completed the work and transformed Newfoundland into a Royal territory, this result is quite gratifying."

"You are always so humble!" Vivien Leigh expressed admiration, and then hinted that she should be intimate, "Anyway, no one came..."

Allen Wilson couldn't agree with this. What does it mean that no one comes anyway? It should be said, so what if someone comes...

In broad daylight, Alan Wilson, who was not getting up, hugged the Great Britain Treasure, his thoughts were clear, and his thinking became more active, "I would like to invite a friend to Los Angeles as a guest. Do you have any friends who would like to host me? Don't misunderstand, it's not about What kind of deal, if you want an actor, the one who is interested in politics is the best. By the way, who is the president of the Screen Actors Union now?"

"It's Ronald Reagan, but I don't know him, but Joan knows his wife, Jane Wyman. Now they seem to be filing a lawsuit to divorce, because Ronald Reagan is obviously more interested in politics." Vivien Leigh said the same Like a kitten, he put his arms around Alan Wilson's body and whispered, "Many people think that the political climate is killing Hollywood."

Isn't this a good thing?Alan Wilson touched Vivien Leigh's hair and said softly, "Vivienne, I think you may be worrying too much. I believe that the president of the Screen Actors Union is not that kind of person."

Ronald Reagan?He was the one who was looking for, and besides him, Alan Wilson couldn't have imagined that it would be more appropriate to invite McCarthy by himself, and it would be more appropriate to have another person in Hollywood to accompany him.

This third-rate actor, an elderly dementia patient, seems to have a deceitful work called Reagan Economics.

Didn't President Reagan have a well-known Reagan economics?Tax cuts, financial deregulation, government spending cuts.Under the guidance of Reagan economics, US imperialism officially changed from being dominated by industrial capital after the war to being dominated by financial capital.

The debt economy, the hollowing out of industries, and the globalization of Wall Street, these are all things that President Reagan began to step on the gas pedal.

The boss of Merrill Lynch, the world's largest financial group at the time, an important funder in the Reagan presidential campaign, Donald Reagan, the No.60 sixth secretary of the Treasury of the United States.

Everyone on Wall Street knows that "Reaganomics" refers to Donald Reagan, the man who opened the floodgates of Wall Street.Did Ronald Reagan, an actor and host who was busy selling cigarettes, have the ability to name an economics?

He, President Reagan, is just the executor of another Reagan Secretary of the Treasury, but it happens that the two have the same surname, which makes people mistakenly think that Reagan Economics belongs to him.

He deserves it too?If the opponent is not an enemy like Ge Tutu, and Reagan's opponent is replaced by any normal person, gritting his teeth and persisting for ten years without doing anything, the bloody America will kneel down.

"Vivienne, please help me. Given how interested Reagan is in politics, I believe he will take the initiative if he gets the news. I have no doubts about it." Alan Wilson looked at the face of the British treasure. Dude, please help.

"Then it's up to you, whether you can give me enough motivation." Vivien Leigh's eyes almost dripped water, and she twisted her body with a peachy face, the meaning was self-evident.

As an imperial civil servant who can give everything for the British Empire, Alan Wilson is loyal to the empire, does not care about personal gains and losses, blood and sweat are trivial.

Vivien Leigh, as the core figure of the largest group in the Hollywood recession, naturally has a lot of face.Although this trip to Hollywood was not as smooth as last time, it has greatly expanded my network.

As early as the period of British India, Vivien Leigh, who was taught by Alan Wilson by precept and deed, had made great progress in her communication skills. She just found a reason and went to Jane Wyman's house with Joan Crawford.

Jane Wyman and Reagan are in a divorce lawsuit, but the lawsuit is long, and the two dare not say that they are famous, but they are also public figures, so on the surface they still live in peace. Before the divorce, the two still lived under the same roof Down.

As a woman, you can talk about everything when you are emotional. The news that the British consul invited the senator to be a guest attracted Reagan, who didn't want to care about his parents, and listened with gusto.

Chapter 463 The Scab Reagan

Although Alan Wilson was taking the time to talk with Heidi Lamarr and did not meet Reagan, he knew that this third-rate actor should be a member of Hoover by now.

From a class perspective, Reagan's role is similar to that of the figure who reached a compromise with the capitalists in previous strikes, and is generally called a scab by the public, but well, the Soviet Union is the enemy, and Reagan's behavior can only be explained by patriotism.

Alan Wilson still bears in mind the traditional skills of the British Empire, striving to maintain the balance of the entire world.This is not a mistake, the continental balance is the national policy of the British Empire.

"Who is prettier, Vivienne or I?" Heidi Lamar entertained, because the man Vivien Leigh went out to do business and came to steal sex, asked this question very solemnly, "People say that Vivien Leigh is very similar to me in appearance. pride."

"People are different. Vivienne's advantage is that she is very emotional." Alan Wilson took a sip of his cigarette and commented objectively and neutrally, "As long as she has a request, I will do everything possible to meet it. Of course, you also Same."

"The film industry is too difficult now, and the salary is also decreasing. If it weren't for the Barbie dolls, this year's life would be difficult." Heidi Lamarr sighed, "Ingrid has always wanted to return to Europe, and she also wanted to return to Europe." Take me back."

"This is a good thing. The European film market has been discussed." Alan Wilson agreed. "In a few years, the European film market will recover, at least not inferior to the United States."

For Ingrid Bergman's idea of ​​returning to Europe, Alan Wilson expressed his appreciation without hesitation, and at the same time encouraged Heidi Lamarr to go back too.

If the plan goes well, when McCarthy makes a big move in Hollywood, what happens in the United States will be widely spread as these actors return to Europe.Moreover, it coincides with the general environment of TV promotion and Hollywood's lack of success. I dare not say that it will kill Hollywood, but it can definitely be expected to establish Europe's own film industry as a rival.

This is definitely a good thing for Europe. Otherwise, Hollywood movies will always be better than those in the United States. There will always be people who want to immigrate. If immigration can be reduced, it will be a good thing for the development of Europe.

As for the decrease in European immigration, whether the proportion of blacks in the United States will increase faster is a matter for the Americans themselves, beyond the scope of his authority as a British civil servant.

"I'm still a little hesitant, but I can try it from what you said." Heidi Lamarr made up her mind that if Europe recovers well, she will go back with Ingrid Bergman.

In the final analysis, it is still the factor of money. If you earn about the same amount of money, you don’t have to be constantly censored by the US government.Of course, choose a place with a more relaxed atmosphere.

A parting kiss came, and Alan Wilson started the journey of time management. Before Vivien Leigh came back, he had already returned to the apartment. The Great British Treasure had worked hard. For this reason, he used bone-setting skills to help the national treasure relieve his fatigue.

"Ronald seems to have an extraordinary enthusiasm for politics, and he is usually a serious person." Vivien Leigh was amazed, telling everything she saw today.

"Oh, is that so? Vivienne, did the president of the Screen Actors Union make any statement when the case of the Hollywood Ten appeared?" Alan Wilson asked insincerely while trying to relieve Vivien Leigh from fatigue.

"He seems to have always opposed the censorship of Hollywood." Vivien Leigh thought about Reagan's several statements, and said affirmatively, "In general, his reputation is not bad."

"So that's how it is!" Alan Wilson sighed, and he had to say that Reagan really chose the right career as an actor.Unexpectedly, in [-], a double-faced life had already begun, and it was indeed not easy to be the president later.

"Have you movie actors received a kind of pamphlet in terms of film review?" Alan Wilson eased the fatigue of the British treasure and asked if such a pamphlet had appeared.

"With this kind of flyer, you can't slander the company, and you can't make myths about ordinary people? It seems that there is something else. I remember that I still have a copy. Do you want to see it?" Vivien Leigh asked suspiciously.

"Think!" Allen Wilson's face was full of interest, and he banned the myth of ordinary people?So what is the American Dream?Isn't this random killing?Isn't the American dream just propaganda, a person can realize his personal dream through hard work, isn't that a myth and an ordinary person?

It is a pity that Hemingway still has won the Nobel Prize in Literature, otherwise, killing a writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature will definitely cause a sensation.Now it seems that this idea can only be suppressed.

For McCarthy, the US election that just passed was a heavy blow to the Republican Party. As a Republican senator, he also felt the same way, and was dumbfounded by the Republican Party's defeat.

At this time, he received an invitation from Alan Wilson, and with an idea of ​​relaxation, he accepted the invitation of a drinking buddy and came to the west coast of the United States.

Naturally, Allen Wilson couldn't afford the entertainment, even the golf course fee arranged with McCarthy.It was all paid by Vivien Leigh out of her own pocket, but of course this kind of private matter will not be disclosed. The two friends' entertainment activities will not attract the attention of the Ministry of Justice.

After the entertainment program was over during the day, Alan Wilson talked about finding a place to have a drink. Together with Reagan himself, who happened to meet, the three returned to Vivien Leigh's apartment. At this moment, MI[-]'s killer instinct was activated. The device has been started.

"Alan, I must admit that this defeat is an unbearable result for our Republican Party." McCarthy complained, holding a glass of wine, "You are British, and it is difficult for me to explain to you."

"There is no need to explain, McCarthy, we are friends." Alan Wilson also held a wine glass, and under the witness of the future US President Reagan, comforted the current senator, "I believe that a mature democratic country, the Republican The idea is still very popular, and your career has only suffered a small setback."

"It's not that simple, Allen. This proves that the Roosevelt legacy of the Democratic Party has been accepted by most Americans. This is why our party believes that we lost the election." McCarthy sighed, "For decades, we For the first time, there is a feeling that there is no way to start, and you must find the weakness of the Democratic Party."

"As a foreigner, I shouldn't listen to this, but maybe it's a good way to find an enemy." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, and suggested hesitantly, "It's easy to unite people, ignore problems that already exist.”

Transferring conflicts is the foundation of mature democracies, and it is even more skillful than military governments.If the military government loses the bet, it will face the danger of the government being overthrown. In mature democracies, it is different, and it is enough to issue a statement of regret.

If you talk about the internal affairs of the United States with others, it may cause trouble.However, for someone like McCarthy who talks about everything after drinking too much, this kind of concern can be ignored.A person who is in a state of intoxication can be understood as a mentally disabled person.

McCarthy is such a person in the eyes of Allen Wilson now. Why can't two drunks communicate with each other about their illnesses?It's just that Reagan, who was a poor companion, watched the two drunks pointing out the country with his own eyes, and gradually Reagan's eyes became blurred.

"We have some problems that cannot be solved in the UK, but the United States has not been affected, and it is not too late to solve them." Alan Wilson sighed, "In my opinion, the Soviet Union is not a big military threat. It is the ideological influence that is worrying. Now Europe is generally affected by this kind of influence and cannot be resolved, and it is not too late for the United States to solve these problems.”

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly stared at Reagan with drunken eyes, "Ronald Reagan, do you think this is the case? Hollywood has been controlled by pro-Soviet thinking, as well as academia. Professors in many American universities are secretly Soviet sympathizers, but compared with Britain and European countries, they are still very slight."

"Consul Allen, that is indeed the case." The future President Reagan is now just the president of a small actor's union, not to mention that compared with the real current federal senator, Alan Wilson is as casual as a foreign consul. .

Under questioning by Alan Wilson, Reagan showed a different stance in public.

In public, Reagan, as the president of the Screen Actors Guild, refuted political pressure and appeared as a protector of actors' interests.

And now the two big men in front of me, when they heard the conversation, they all had a clear anti-Soviet stance, so Reagan didn't hide it, and made his stance clear in front of Alan Wilson and McCarthy, I am our man...

"You see, Reagan said that." Alan Wilson smiled drunkenly, and said to McCarthy, "Joseph, even Ronald in front of us, we are not sure whether he is lying. Maybe he Even a Soviet sympathizer may be deceiving us two drunks, who knows what kind of thing it is."

"Mr. Allen, I absolutely dislike the opinions of some actors. I think it is their own fault for being arrested and blacklisted. Of course, on the surface, I have to make a gesture of solidarity. But in fact I I believe that measures should be taken." Reagan said in a stern voice, "Trump and the others were arrested, of course I agree in my heart, but I cannot say that the government is right."

"Oh? Mr. Reagan, you finally reassured me." Alan Wilson smiled and was very satisfied with Scab Reagan's statement, "It is really lucky for the United States to have someone like you manage the actors' union. I just want to find It is not enough to come out and hide the enemy inside the United States."

Chapter 464 The Big Picture Is the Most Important

"How do you say that?" Reagan was taken aback. Although he already met the qualifications of a scab initially, he was not in a real moral vacuum after all. He still had a lot to learn at present.

"There are times when we have to befriend the bad guys for the good of the country, and occasionally ditch the good guys who don't cooperate."

Alan Wilson drank a glass to himself, "Actually, who cares if these people are Soviet sympathizers? The key is that we must use some means to strengthen the thinking of most citizens and not be fooled by the Soviets. In this kind of Under the circumstances, it doesn’t really matter whether they were wronged or not, if most people’s souls can be saved, a few people will go to hell, it’s a necessary price.”

Alan Wilson's meaning is very clear. There should be a movement similar to the Great Cleansing, but it must not be called this name.
