"Am I saying that the Indian people are simple, or do I say that they are stupid? Of course, it is the same for people from any country. As an independent individual, I am really not qualified to speak of Indians." Alan Wilson took the telegram sent by Alyssa.
, said to Sir Barron's personal secretary, "Our national treasure will arrive in New Delhi in a few days. I wonder if the accommodation has been arranged?"
"That's not the case yet. Does Assistant Allen have any ideas?" When Edel heard this, he actually forgot about it. He had never arranged accommodation for an actor. Regarding his work experience in British India,
It's a new thing.
Alan Wilson leaned back strategically in his chair, thought for a moment and said, "Let's arrange it in the community where General Mountbatten lives."
After much deliberation, for the sake of safety and familiarity, Alan Wilson was most familiar with the British community in New Delhi, so it was more convenient for Vivien Leigh to live there.
In fact, Alan Wilson can now also have the configuration of a personal secretary, but he still prefers what Mr. Chang does, micro-managing! Some things can only be done by himself!
For example, even though Sir Barron's personal secretary Edel was here, Alan Wilson still went to Sir Barron's office and decided to make good use of the influence of Great British Treasure.
"The situation was even more sensational than we expected. The heat caused by Vivien Leigh is unimaginable." Alan Wilson held several newspapers as evidence of his words and placed them in front of Sir Barron.
Sir Barron did not look at it, but stretched out and said with a meaningful smile, "It's even more sensational than when the three cabinet ministers came to British India."
"Out of respect for the three cabinet ministers, my answer is? Yes and no. Even if this is the case, there is no need to discuss it. Actors themselves are more popular than politicians, at least they will not cause trouble." Alan Wilson said
She kept her face straight to prevent herself from laughing out loud and said, "I don't know what most colleagues think of this."
"That is a matter for you young people. I am already older. Although I know that I am in the minority, I still think that the cabinet minister is more important." Sir Barron raised his eyebrows with a heartfelt expression.
He smiled and said, "You have countless ideas every day. What do you want to plan now? The Clean India Movement has judicial officials, and the distribution of retired Indian soldiers has the Governor's Palace. It seems there is nothing left to do, right?"
"That's right, respected Sir Barron. From the reception Vivien Leigh received, I have an immature idea." When it came to business, Alan Weir said with a serious face, "I believe our minister will not
Those who oppose it should not be despicable to use Vivien Leigh’s influence to show the importance and protection of Indian women and let celebrities exert a positive influence.”
"Gentlemen of the British Empire never do despicable things." Sir Barron nodded in approval and asked, "Then tell me the specific steps."
"Now British India still has the final say. To cultivate a natural pro-British force, there is no group easier to control than these actors." Alan Wilson talked eloquently, describing his thoughts, "The profession of actors is vanity.
I don't deny that some actors have good ethics, but most actors don't have this awareness. This is true for actors from any country. I want to borrow the influence of these actors. Of course, this is only after knowing that Vivien Leigh is so popular.
I had this idea.”
"The British-Indian Actors Association?" Sir Barron nodded upon hearing this. "It's a good idea. There is no force that is easier to control than these actors. They are greedy for vanity and have no bottom line. They will do anything to become famous.
The most important thing is that no matter how dirty things you do, you will never admit it."
Sir Barron's approval confirmed the feasibility of the idea. Before Vivien arrived in New Delhi, she had already been appointed as the honorary president of the British-Indian Actors Guild.
Of course, it is still the same sentence. The Governor-General of British India now needs to reduce its presence and at least show a sense of doing nothing. Therefore, it is best for the people to bring this matter up. To be more precise, it is best for Vivien Leigh herself to bring it up.
come out.
"Is that so?" Vivien Leigh, who was still in Bombay, heard Alisa relaying the opinions of the Governor's Palace. She couldn't believe that she had just arrived in India and was hit on the head by such an honor.
Vivien Leigh did not lack popularity, but lacked widespread respect and honor. Even the third-rate actors who performed in theaters criticized actors like her. The reason was that she was famous for her beauty, and in many eyes she was just a vase.
.
Vivien Leigh felt very wronged about this. Why is good-looking a bad thing? This is not her own problem. Although plastic surgery has been around for decades, her face is not fake.
Even though Vivien Leigh had seen a big scene, her head was dizzy from the honor that fell. Alyssa affirmed with a smile, "Miss Vivian, that's it. My boss, I hope you can integrate it."
These actors cultivate a positive image of the British Empire among the actor community. Many times, public figures like actors can influence many people."
"I am very willing to accept this honor!" Vivien Leigh immediately expressed her willingness to serve the country and integrate British Indian filmmakers for the British.
"That's the best." Alyssa smiled gently, puzzled by Vivien Leigh's very anxious performance. How could an actor who is good-looking and rich come to value such a false reputation so much?
British India in March was no longer cool. At the same time as the temperature was rising, the enthusiasm for production in British India increased. Farmers followed the instructions from above to plant cash crops needed by the British Empire.
In terms of industry, the expansion work of Kolkata's large industrial area has also started.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Construction can be seen everywhere in Delhi and Mumbai. Although the income of the Indians involved in the construction is still very meager, almost no different from last year, the lively scene is the same as before.
Rarely seen.
Many Indians believe that these spacious houses and huge factories are all built for themselves. The British have already expressed implicitly that they will leave the subcontinent within two or three years. By then, today's hard work will become tomorrow's
India's wealth.
It has to be said that Indians also have a patriotic ownership spirit, at least that is what the citizens of Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai in big cities do think now.
Although my life has not improved significantly, my mental outlook has obviously changed a lot.
On this day, the front page headline of the Mumbai newspaper was a photo of Vivien Leigh wearing a traditional Indian dress, a sari. The sari was specially tailored to Vivien Leigh's figure, showing off her graceful figure.
Immediately afterwards, the newspapers surrounding Vivien Leigh made follow-up reports, first praising and promoting India's long history, and then tracing the history of ancient India as a textile power, the unique charm of Indian women wearing saris, and so on.
The last exclusive news is that when Vivien Leigh tried on the sari, she expressed her appreciation and admiration for the dress.
"When Miss Vivian was trying on the sari, she said that she was very envious of Indian women for having such beautiful clothes."
But when this newspaper published, Vivien Leigh, who had the deepest wish of a Mumbai filmmaker, was already on her way to New Delhi.
During her contacts with Indian filmmakers, Vivien Leigh just mentioned that she would establish a British-Indian Film Association to give voice to the actors themselves. As soon as this idea came out, the seniors in Bollywood expressed their deep approval.
There is no such institution for Indian films now. Indian films are very familial. If Vivien Leigh can use her influence to promote this, it will be the best result.
With the best wishes from Indian filmmakers, Vivien Leigh showed herself to be a voice for the people and got on the train bound for New Delhi.
"Miss Alyssa, I wonder if the Governor who is making decisions now will have time to meet an actor like me." On the train, a somewhat uneasy Vivien Leigh asked with a embarrassed look on her face.
"Well, it is not necessarily the Governor who makes the decision. The current Governor is actually a pure soldier. Normally, it is Sir Barron of the Government House who makes the decision. But starting from this year, my boss, Mr. Alan Wilson, has taken the lead.
Plan for the series." Alyssa answered this question with a smile.
And at the same time, Vivien Leigh's idea was vetoed from the side. She probably would not meet with the Governor-General of India, but she might say a few words at a public reception.
"Alan Wilson?" The surprise on Vivien Leigh's face flashed away. She had met this person before during the cultural exchange between Britain and the Soviet Union, and he left a deep impression on him.
The train stopped in New Delhi and was immediately greeted by people at the station. Vivien Leigh followed these people to the British community in New Delhi. Alan Wilson was guiding several local Indians to move furniture in the house arranged for Vivien Leigh.
"It's really you, Ellen!" Seeing this familiar face, Vivien Leigh shouted with surprise. She came all the way to the subcontinent. Although she received thorough care, there was no familiar person, and she still felt a little uneasy.
Now that she met an acquaintance, Vivien Leigh showed great enthusiasm. A stone fell from her heart, and she no longer worried about the lingering feeling of strangeness.
"Ms. Vivian, we met again. The last time was during the cultural exchange visit between the two countries." Alan Wilson turned around and extended his hand to greet with a warm smile, "Welcome to the subcontinent. For now, it's still...
Is it a habit? If you need anything, you must come to me."
Vivien Leigh said that she would never be polite and said in a nice voice, "I will definitely come to you if I need anything."
"Alan is waiting at any time!" Alan Wilson's eyes lit up and he said eagerly, "Ms. Vivian come with me. Are you satisfied with seeing this house?"
