Alan Wilson has even been working on two tasks, figuring out how to carry out his evil plan. Like many countries, most British citizens do not think that acting is a noble profession in this era. Of course, this is not wrong.
Actors are always associated with skin trading, especially in the UK, where actors have nothing to do with upper class society.
The same is true for Vivien Leigh. Vivien Leigh's dream was to become a great actress, but her mother believed that theater performance did not belong to the upper class industry and did not support her dream.
Of course, Vivien Leigh has become famous now, and her income is beyond the reach of ordinary citizens. In the eyes of ordinary citizens, she is undoubtedly an object of envy. However, for the upper class, Vivien Leigh's situation has not changed.
British people born in British India were generally of two types, either civil servants or soldiers. Sailors who went on adventures would not have a stable life.
So even if it's just a guess, Alan Wilson can tell that Vivien Leigh's native family should be pretty good.
Alan Wilson introduced the situation of British India. It was rare that he did not focus on the negative image, but pretended to be a guest. At the same time, he also said that compared with the British mainland, British India was indeed relatively backward.
"In fact, the image of Miss Vivien Leigh can definitely serve the British Empire. As for the profession of actors, I personally have no bias at all. I also believe that if actors can play a role, they can also help serve the Empire." Alan Wilson objectively discussed the actor's
effect.
Even those hillbillies in the United States can develop cultural hegemony. Since those hillbillies can do it, the UK can try it too.
Cultural hegemony refers to the imposition of ideological and cultural values between countries and nations. It is a kind of cultural power and cultural colonization. As long as it has a strong economy, it attempts to impose its own ideological and cultural consciousness on others.
and nationality, cultural hegemony will arise, and other national cultures will be affected.
In later generations, Hollywood, in addition to teasing a few countries to become immune, can be said to have conquered the world. As for a certain movie city that mainly focused on kung fu movies and claimed to be the second in the world, it was also devastated.
Hollywood produces about 10% of the world's films each year, but accounts for more than half of the world's screening time, and its box office revenue accounts for more than 75% of the world's total box office revenue.
Long before World War I, American films defeated France, the old European film power and the country that invented film.
However, so far, European films are still worthy of the United States in the field of literary and artistic films. American films crushed Europe only after the explosion of special effects technology, which completely made all opponents lose their ability to compete.
In front of Vivien Leigh, Alan Wilson said that no one knows movies better than me, and he has a set of techniques for movie development.
The more Fortseva heard, the more strange she felt. She was using words to speak to an actor?
"Mr. Allen, how do you give full play to the influence of an actor?" Vivien Leigh also hoped that acting would become a respected profession, but she never had a clue.
"Perhaps we need a public welfare film, which must be linked to charity. We should put in some hard work and let the citizens of European countries know that there are still many countries and regions in the world that are in poverty." Alan Wilson said with compassion.
"By the way, Miss Vivian, you were born in British India. I believe that if you arrive in British India one day, you will definitely have the effect of crowds of people, because you represent the civilization and ideals of the British Empire. There are some things you can do
It’s even more believable.”
Is this Vivian? Seeing that Vivien Leigh seemed to be getting more and more interested, Fortseva interrupted, "I didn't expect that Mr. Allen also knew something about movies. I wonder if Soviet movies can get some good suggestions."
?”
Of course, this is not difficult for Alan Wilson. Soviet films had an important impact on half of the world. He replied without stopping, "Soviet films are based on realism and have had an important impact on many places. The Soviet Union is a great literary country.
, excellent literary works and rich literary traditions provided a solid foundation for the development of Soviet films. There is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. Almost all excellent films in Soviet history were adapted from excellent literary works. In terms of cultural heritage, the Soviet film industry
of help.”
What does Vivien Leigh, an ordinary actress, know about cultural exchanges between the two countries? The real exchange is with Ellen Wilson, who acts as a protector to protect Vivien Leigh against the Soviet cultural tsar Furtseva more than ten years later.
Regarding the game between officials from the two countries, Vivien Leigh had never encountered it before, and she discovered one thing, that is, this young man knew a lot.
"This knowledge is so complex." Alan Wilson kept talking like a machine gun, starting from the birth of French film history, until the United States caught up with it due to its market size, and then began to bring in private goods, saying that it was impossible for the Soviet Union
Simply relying on administrative power can be compared with American movies.
"Remuneration is the weakness of any class in the Soviet Union. A good actor should have good remuneration. This is not a problem that can be solved by simple awareness. Of course, it is too extreme like in the United States. Geniuses in any industry are rare.
There are not many civil servants with as strong a reserve of knowledge as I have."
The corners of Fortseva's mouth twitched slightly. Compared with the seemingly huge knowledge reserve, the shamelessness of the imperialist bureaucrat in front of her was truly rare.
The cultural exchange representatives on the British side are better. As for the Soviet Union, the elimination of alcohol is obviously faster than the British. This made Alan Wilson sigh that the funding of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be increased.
Fortseva had to leave for a while to ask the Soviet cultural exchange representatives not to be too obsessed with alcohol.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ellen, you are not old, that's what I call you." Vivien Leigh asked after Fortseva left, "You said improving the actor society
Is the status feasible?”
Of course it's not feasible. People's prejudices will only be passed down from generation to generation! Alan Wilson said slowly, "It depends on the efforts a person makes in his life. In fact, I have an idea. I should take pictures of the British Empire."
Public welfare films in the colonies allow domestic citizens to understand how the British Empire led backward civilization to progress. Of course, actors are all independent individuals, and we cannot force actors to do anything. They all have to talk about it, and they must be patriotic."
Alan Wilson spoke of old imperialism from the very beginning. In his words, without the guidance of the British Empire, many places would have been destined to be devoid of development. He could even find examples, such as India after independence.
"I can also talk, and I can also be patriotic. If there is a chance and the country needs me, I will definitely give it a try." Vivien Leigh nodded blankly. Actors can also be patriotic and can contribute to the country.
Vivien Leigh asked Ellen Wilson if she had ever seen her movie. Of course she had not, but Ellen Wilson once again demonstrated the basic qualities of an imperial civil servant and said that he could feel from the movie that there was not a trace of cowardice in Vivien Leigh's acting skills.
And artificial, but mixed with unruly and unruly in the inadvertent charm and cuteness, this is also her charm.
In Gone with the Wind, she seems to have been born for the role of Scarlett Hao. She is a cat-like girl, cunning, charming and cute, and her eyes are simply the best.
"But I still like happy endings." Alan Wilson talked eloquently, using his long-term reserve of words as a response, and Vivien Leigh didn't notice it at all.
The return of Fortseva saved Ellen Wilson who was at a loss for words, but in Vivien Leigh's heart, she had already left a deep impression on this young diplomat.
"A man must be able to blow!" It was already late at night, and there were very few cars on the road. Under the moonlight, the highway was like a white ribbon leading into the distance. The street trees on both sides were retreating rapidly, and the surroundings were so quiet. I opened the car window.
, the cold wind blew in, which immediately made Alan Wilson's mind clear up a lot.
Fortunately, in 1945, there were no regulations regarding drunk driving, otherwise, he might have been fined.
He very much wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of serving the country to get Vivien Leigh to British India. Once she was on his own territory, Vivien Leigh couldn't fly out of the palm of his hand.
This is not a temporary thought, but a plan ready to be put into action. This is all for the benefit of the British Empire. Only by adopting a certain degree of paralysis towards the subjects of British India can the next action be facilitated.
Alan Wilson was concerned about the untouchables in the vast rural areas, but as long as the city people were not to act rashly, it would be considered a success. As long as the elite of British India was stable, British India would be stable.
The most important thing is that Alan Wilson got Vivien Leigh's contact information. When Vivien Leigh's husband is away one day, he can visit her as a friend.
After arriving at the hotel, Alan Wilson got off the car, and the row of cars behind him slowly stopped. For polite reasons and safety reasons, he could not let a group of Soviets show off their power on the streets of London in a drunken state.
For this reason, we had to risk the conflict between the two countries and let MI5 agents drive back these Soviet cultural representatives.
"These Russians are obviously more interested in alcohol than in cultural exchanges." An MI5 agent frowned and commented to the ecstatic Soviets.
Even Fortseva was unsteady on her feet, but she was fine on the surface. Alan Wilson sighed and said, "Let's send these people up. The British Empire is a country of gentlemen after all."
