Chapter 105: Sister Flowers

Joan? Vendôme joined Hollywood in 1935 and has remained tepid ever since. At the beginning, the actress auditioned at MGM and was signed by MGM as a second-rate actor, and in the past few years, although she has also taken on a lot of movies, the results are not ideal, and she is only one step away from superstardom, and this step seems so far away.

For Joan? For Fendôme, the situation began to change in 1940. This year, she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her work on Hitchcock's "Butterfly Dream", which made Joan ? Fontaine began to really step onto the radiant acting stage.

"It's a contract, but now something is wrong." Nicholas smiled.

He is the former head of MGM, and although he has left MGM for so many years, he still has a lot of insiders within MGM, so he still knows the news inside better than ordinary people.

"At first, Hitchcock and MGM were interested, then switched to Warner Bros. Pictures, and now there is a jump to Thunder. Joan? Fontaine has been deeply fascinated by Hitchcock since he participated in "Butterfly Dream", and it can be said that in the eyes of this woman, Hitchcock is a god-like existence. In this way, she obviously didn't want to stay at MGM. So, Joan? Fontaine went to Hitchcock in private late one night, and the two men had a detailed conversation. ”

"What are you talking about?" Victor asked.

Nicholas shook his head: "I don't know what to talk about, but it turned out to be Joan?" Fontaine ran out crying, and when he returned, he went home and took dozens of sleeping pills. Fortunately, the servant found it early and sent him to the hospital in time, so he was able to save his life. ”

"No, how can it be so serious?" Victor was dumbfounded.

"It is said that in the face of Joan, who is a passionate follower? Fontaine, Hitchcock behaved extremely unkindly and resolutely, and he did not hesitate to reject Joan? Fontaine told her that the reason why he chose her in the first place was only because her personality was suitable for the script he had at that time, which did not mean that he would always use her in the future. As for Joan? Fontaine proposed to follow Hitchcock to Thunderbolt, and Hitchcock scolded Joan? Fontaine paused. ”

"Hitchcock this man. How to say it. There are his merits, and the movie is not bad, but he is also smart. He knew Meyer's temper well, even if Joan? Fontaine didn't turn purple. But what if he kidnapped Joan? Vendôme. Meyer certainly wouldn't let him go. Therefore. Surely Hitchcock wouldn't mess with Joan? Fontaine, but just drove away. ”

"What a poor woman." After listening to Nicholas's words, Victor vs. Joan? Fontaine was sympathetic.

This woman. Beautiful, quiet, connotative, introverted and gentle, it was a tribulation to meet these men.

"After coming back from the hospital, Joan? Fontaine locked himself up in the villa and saw no one, and the newspaper reported that the woman was in a bad mood and could not perform at all. After this matter was hyped, Meyer was very annoyed and directly asked Owen? Salberg dismissed Joan? Vendème's contract. Now Joan? Fontaine is a betrayal of relatives, no one cares, it can be said that it has fallen to a low point. Nicholas lit a cigarette and looked at Victor, "Victor, this is a good opportunity." ”

"It's a good opportunity." Victor's eyes lit up.

What if you can take Joan? Vendôme, for Legendary Films, is definitely a big thing.

"But, it's a little harder." Victor rubbed his temples: "She's like this now, I'm afraid she's not interested in anyone, and we can't impress her." ”

"That's your business. I can't control that. Nicholas smirked.

Victor thought for a moment and said to Nicholas, "In this way, you asked someone to take Joan?" Fendôme's information is compiled and handed to me, I'll take a look at it. ”

Nicholas complied, and soon, a dozen thick pieces of information were on Victor's desk.

Flipping Joan? Victor's interest in this woman is really getting more and more interesting.

Joan? Fontaine, whose real name is Joan? De Beauvoir? De Havilland, in Hollywood, she also has an older sister - Olivia? De Havilland, this sister is now far more famous in Hollywood than Joan? Vendon herself, not to mention anything else, with her excellent performance in "Gone with the Wind", Olivia? De Havilland has received the favor of many directors and has completed all the qualifications of a script superstar. Fontaine's sister has won an Oscar twice, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

And with such a strong sister, Joan? Fontaine seemed destined to live in the shadow of her sister, and even, when she decided to follow in her sister's footsteps into Hollywood, her mother felt that her doing so might affect her sister, and not allow her to be surnamed de Havilland, Joan? Fontaine had to adopt his stepfather's surname, Fontaine, as his stage name.

"It's funny." Victor put down the information, looked at the night outside the window, pondered for a while, and dialed the phone.

It wasn't long before Anthony barged in, sweaty.

"Uncle Anthony, there's something I need you to do. But you have to do it quietly and not let anyone know. Victor said.

"What's the matter?" Anthony looked at him with some concern when he saw Victor speak so solemnly.

Will Victor Joan? Fontaine and her sister were pictured on the table, and said to Anthony: "You send someone to investigate everything that happened between these two women, the more detailed the better, I need all the details, their past lives, and the love and hatred between them." ”

"That's it?" Anthony almost had a crooked nose.

"Hmm. This one is important, go for it. ”

"I'll give you an answer in three days." Anthony took the two photos.

Three days later, Anthony sent Victor a box full of materials.

These materials contain almost all the social records of this sister from childhood to adulthood, and there are also detailed news reports in them.

After carefully analyzing these materials, Victor found that the relationship between the two sisters was completely more serious than he imagined, not bad, but very bad, a pair of biological sisters, almost to the point of drawing swords against each other. The preference of her parents, the preference of society, and the strength of her sister make Joan? Vendôme has always been shrouded in shadows.

Victor lit a cigarette and squinted at the news report in his hand, one of which caught Viktor's attention.

"Hehe, there's a door!" Victor slapped Anthony on the back: "Anthony, you hurry up and do something for me, get this thing for me." “

Anthony looked at the newspaper with black lines all over his head: "Wouldn't it!?" What do you want this for!? (To be continued......)
