Vivien Leigh did not return to the UK alone, she was accompanied by the entire "Titanic" creative team.

Although the film industry in the 30s was still immature, it paid enough attention to propaganda work. Four years ago, when "City Lights" premiered in the UK, Chaplin specially returned to the UK to cooperate with the promotion, and stayed for several months before leaving.

Well, Chaplin was actually a wealthy returnee, he was born and raised in London, and he had an unbearable year.

Chaplin lost his father at the age of five, and his life was difficult, as a flower boy, a newsboy, and a barbershop worker...... I've done everything. When he left England at the age of fifteen, Chaplin was still a young actor, and when he returned again, he had already become an internationally renowned director.

It's a legend.

Vivien Leigh is actually similar, when "Titanic" is released in the UK, she can also understand what it means to "return to the homeland".

In fact, the day after Zhou Hexuan was assassinated and hospitalized, he sent a telegram to his women, saying that he was fine, and asked them not to worry too much. But the newspapers said that it was too scary, and it was a black gun and a bomb, which inevitably made people frightened.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of "Titanic" in the United States, Vivien Leigh set off five days later than Meng Xiaodong, but arrived in London on the same day.

As soon as she left the docks, Vivien Leigh said to director Brambie: "Charles, you guys go to the hotel first, I'll go to the hospital to have a look." ”

"I'll go with you," Clark Gable said aggressively, "Mr. Zhou is a great writer and our friend, and he has to visit him when he is hospitalized." ”

"Okay." Vivien Leigh was helpless about this.

Since Clark Gable was caught, this guy has become a pug, saying good things about Zhou Hexuan and Vivien Leigh whenever he meets people, and sparing no effort to provide Vivien Leigh with performance opportunities.

The more Clark Gable flattered, the more Vivien Leigh looked down on her - this man was too cheap.

"Then I'll go with you." Brambie joined in.

Anyway, there are professionals doing the propaganda work, and the director and the hero and heroine only need to cooperate, and they are idle.

By the way, "Titanic" and Chaplin's "Modern Times" were released at the same time, and the two films have just been released on the American side.

"Titanic" was applauded and acclaimed, and the media and the audience unanimously sought after it.

The situation of "Modern Times" is a bit more complicated, the audience likes it to the bone, but the media sings in unison. The reason is simple: "Modern Times" has smeared the image of capitalists and become an important propaganda tool of the American Communist Party. Even Chaplin himself was accused of being a "Comintern spy lurking in the United States", and even attracted an FBI investigation at one point.

By the way, the FBI at this time was very arrogant and domineering, they even arrested socialists and liberals, and often under the guise of "prohibition", they bypassed the search warrant restrictions and directly entered and arrested people. During the Great Depression, the FBI has become the most deformed and powerful violent institution in the United States, and has even threatened the power of the American president.

When Roosevelt was in power, he was able to suppress the FBI a little. As soon as Roosevelt died, the FBI would become a vicious dog that broke the ropes, catching and biting whomever it wanted, even the president of the United States.

At least until the mid-50s, Zhou Hexuan would never dare to immigrate to the United States, and it would be funny if the FBI had a convulsion one day and arrested him regardless of international public opinion. Even if Zhou Hexuan served as an adviser to the US president, McCarthy's slogan at that time was "shoot shells at the State Department", claiming that the Truman administration "fornicated with the Soviet Union" and the Democratic Party "treason for 20 years".

……

When Vivien Leigh and others came to the hospital, the reporter of Time magazine in the United States was blocked at the door.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou did not give any interviews during his injury." The guard at the gate said with a cold expression. These guards are usually responsible for the security of Buckingham Palace, to put it bluntly, they are the palace guards, and the assassination of Zhou Hexuan is too big, and now they are sent to guard the door for Lao Zhou.

David Hopkins smiled helplessly and explained: "I came from the United States specifically. ”

The guard glanced at him and said, "It's useless for you to come from Mars." ”

After arguing with this guard for a long time, David Hopkins finally got angry: "Please respect my work!" ”

"Please respect my work, Mr. Reporter." The guard said nonchalantly.

"Well," David Hopkins said again, "at least, you should help me get the word out that Time Magazine is visiting to see if Mr. Zhou Hexuan agrees to be interviewed." ”

The guard sneered: "If every reporter wants me to pass on the news, then I have four legs that are broken." ”

"It's different, I'm an American journalist!" David Hopkins is going crazy.

"But this is England." The guards have a sense of superiority and completely see each other as hillbillies.

At this time, Vivien Leigh appeared, and the guard immediately stopped her: "Please stop, don't disturb the rest of the patients in the hospital." ”

"I'm a friend of Mr. Chow, and my name is Vivian Hartley." Vivien Leigh said.

"Wait a minute." The guard immediately asked the partner to go to the ward to confirm.

After a while, the guard said to Vivien Leigh and the others, "Gentlemen, ladies, please come in." ”

David Hopkins next to him hurriedly shouted: "I am also a friend of Mr. Zhou!" ”

"But you're first and foremost a journalist." The guards remained unmoved.

David Hopkins, apparently recognizing Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, shouted, "Miss Leigh, Mr. Gable, help me get a message to Mr. Chow that Time wants to interview him!" ”

"I will." Vivien Leigh turned her head and smiled.

When Vivien Li came to the ward, she found that there was a problem with the atmosphere inside, a bunch of women were sitting there staring at each other without speaking, only Xiao Lingjun was lying next to Zhou Hexuan and chattering.

Ma Jue saw Vivien Li standing at the door and thought, "Another one!" It's still a foreign woman. ”

In fact, only Zhang Leyi was really emotional, she was very unhappy with the existence of Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan. It's enough to keep it quietly in Shanghai, and you dare to come to England, these two aunts and wives are going to rebel!

"Well, everyone!" Vivien Leigh greeted her in fluent Chinese.

Zhou Hexuan was suddenly overjoyed, and finally someone came to the rescue, and he hurriedly said, "Vivian, come in." Heck, Brambie and Mr. Gable are here too, it's been a long time! ”

"Hello, Zhou." Bramby nodded in greeting, a little confused.

When Clark Gable saw a room of women and children, he immediately thought of the legendary polygamy, and the envy of Chinese men. He looks beautiful as an actor, but his wife is an old woman more than ten years older than him, and even stealing is like being a spy.

How wonderful it would be if the United States was also polygamous!

Clark Gable suddenly felt the urge to join the Moroc (Harmony) sect.

Vivien Li put away the flowers she bought on the side of the road and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Brother Xuan, the reporters of Time Magazine want to interview you, and they are outside." ”

"Let them in." Zhou Hexuan's idea is that the more people there are, the better, for fear that Zhang Leyi will make trouble in the ward.
