Rose knows that the Chinese community in California is quite powerful now, and there are a lot fewer movie roles like Fu Manchu, after all, even the Italian mafia and the Ku Klux Klan don't want to challenge the self-esteem of the Chinese, and the film company doesn't want to offend those people in vain, as well as money!

Whether it is smuggling bootlegging, opening a laundry chain, opening a casino, or even selling drugs, the money earned is also money, and it is legal to invest it in the film market to wash it.

In a few days, Joseph (Joseph. Kennedy) came from the East Coast, and used to buy movies from William Films, and he was the best money maker mentioned above.

Movies and moonshine were perhaps his biggest purchases every time he came to the West Coast, and he was able to mix black and white to sell West Coast moonshine to Chicago, where he was welcomed by the local underground liquor merchants (mostly black bosses).

Thinking of Joseph, Rose did not leave her seat immediately, and looked at a woman a few meters away from the opposite side, wearing cheap clothes, quite attractive, and in good shape, seeing that she was still looking at herself, she walked over with a serious face: "You have been following from the bank, say, why?" ”

Rose has more momentum from the superior.

"I-no-"

The woman wanted to defend something, but she was frightened by Rose for a while, and she spoke a little unpleasantly.

"I'm looking for Mr. Meyer!"

The woman said.

"Meyer is gone, why are you staying?"

Rose looked at the woman suspiciously, "Don't lie, I notice you're keeping an eye on me." ”

"I ......"

The woman looked at Rose, her mouth moving, and she hesitated. If you don't hurry up to find a job. She'll be sleeping on the street in a few days!

Not having money is a disaster. She deeply understands that if she doesn't succeed in Hollywood, she may be reduced to a brothel, how can this be willing?

Just when Rose was impatient, the woman took a breath, turned her heart aside, and said frankly: "I'm an actor, I need a chance." I want to find Mr. Meyer. ”

Rose understood and nodded: "Another woman who fantasizes about becoming famous overnight, the dream of stardom is not easy to do." ”

She admonished.

"Why don't you go to Meyer?" Rose said again.

Look at the woman, why don't you go to Meyer, why are you staying here? Could it be-

"I do have to look for Meyer, and before I can do that, I'll have to introduce myself to Miss Rose, the owner of William's Films."

Perhaps seeing that Rose's attitude had eased, the woman was a little bolder, and smiled a little reluctantly, so that she could appear more confident.

Since it's a dream chaser. Naturally, there must be a touching story, and a tragic life story is essential.

Lucille. Fay. Strangle. Sael. A girl from a poor family, her father abandoned the family before she was born, her mother took her and her brother to remarry several times, and she was abandoned several times, and she also lived a life of upheaval and displacement since she was a child.

When he was 14 years old, he went to Chicago and dreamed of becoming a dancer, but in order to make a living, he had to dance a striptease and train his body and sex appeal.

Later, he turned to acting on Broadway in New York, tried to engage in film shooting, made a relatively large sexy movie, dreamed of taking a small step, and still did not become famous, just a small step.

It was her sexy appearance that made her usher in her first marriage, which did not last long, and she left in less than half a year.

"Broadway is indeed a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, there is light on stage, and there are too many dirty deals off stage. Only a very lucky few will get ahead. ”

Rose nodded with some emotion, perhaps this woman's experience on Broadway resonated with her, seeing this woman looking at her with some surprise, she smiled, "I didn't expect it, I also stayed on Broadway for a while, and then turned to business." ”

"Huh!?" The woman gave Rose a lot of looks, and if Rose didn't say it, she really didn't know that a noble woman like her had a similar experience to herself?

But people later soared into the sky, what about themselves? I have to whisper and beg someone to give me a chance.

If you are a woman, the opportunities are different!

I had to secretly envy in my heart.

If Rose can succeed in Hollywood, why can't she herself?

Rose became a little interested in this woman, and had no intention of discussing herself, so she interrogated this woman's acting experience.

The woman knew that there was a play as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly told her acting experience, in her words, she described herself as a dream chaser with rich life experience, acting skills and appearance, and still not giving up her dreams despite setbacks.

Hopefully Rose will give her a chance.

Of course, Rose doesn't believe in any nonsense such as chasing dreams and ideals, and from the blazing fire of ambition in this woman's eyes, she knows that she is a woman who dares and is willing to let go!

In Vanity Fair, a woman who is willing to give up may not succeed, but she will not succeed if she regrets her life.

Although she has no outstanding achievements, she has also been the heroine of a low-budget movie, and the interesting thing is that that movie is actually called "Unspoken Rules". It is estimated that this woman is not only acting, but also her true performance.

Rose looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Put on a sexy expression to take a look?" ”

The woman really stood up, put her hands on her skirt, pulled up slightly, and her beautiful figure stood out in the head-scratching posture! Even the eyes that look at Rose are charming!

After the performance, the woman was worried that her fate was now in the hands of others.

God, please! I've been poor for half my life, and I can't afford to miss this opportunity!

She prayed in her heart.

Sure enough...... Disturb!

Rose commented in her heart.

This woman's voice is not bad, with an authentic American accent, and now that the movie has entered the sound era, it turns out that some silent film actors will have voice problems, and the voice is also part of the actor's acting skills, and it is quite important. This excludes most European actors.

She's still a little useful, William Pictures just lacks a sexy actress, and she also has a little star potential, why don't you let her try?

"Alright! That Sa-"

"Sael!"

'Miss Sael, I want you to be an actor in our studio, but you'll have to pass the test of being a producer in our studio. ”

Rose laughed.

Bring the agitated Miss Sael back to William's Film Company. Handed over to the rather talented young producer David. Selznick.

David. Selznick identified with the actress. But I didn't like her name. Think Lucille. Sael's name is too ordinary, I need to change her name!

What's the best name?

Miss Sael soon climbed up to David. Selznick, in order to make her famous, Selznick thought of a trick and advertised her in a magazine, and she not only put her photo on the cover, but also solicited names for her across the country!

That's it, Joan. The name Crawford is red!

Rose sits in a Starbucks café. Listening to Situ Nan quietly, Situ Nan still had the unique rainforest coffee in front of him.

The gossip of the film company also reached Situ Nan's ears, and he smiled and said to Rose: "Joan. Crawford, this woman, is likely to become a big star, and she has a kind of star aura in her, like-"

Situ Nan wanted to talk about Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed them back in time.

"The one I'm more optimistic about is called David. Selznick's young producer, this guy is very good at publicity, and maybe he will become the backbone of the film company in the future. ”

Situ Nan commented.

He has rarely asked about film companies, why is he suddenly interested in an actress?

Rose glanced at Situ Nan suspiciously.

Situ Nan said a few words simply, as if he knew so much about the current film companies and movie stars. I can't say any more.

Facing Rose's puzzled expression, Situ Nan smiled: "I'm looking for you today." There are mainly two little things, the first and Joan. Crawford is similar, I have a friend who wants to go to Hollywood, she is also an actress, you can take care of her if you can. ”

"Actress? When did you meet a new actress again? Rose stabbed Situ Nan slightly.

"No, no, no, I don't know her, they're in New York, and I haven't been to New York for a long time!"

Situ Nan shook his head and said.

It was Kuzdova who greeted her, and Kuzdova wanted to introduce her friend, and Situ Nan naturally agreed.

It's just that the relationship behind this is not easy to explain to Rose, and there is no need for that.

Situ Nan didn't say, and Rose didn't ask.

"What's her name?" Rose asked.

"I really don't know this, when the time comes, she will come from New York to look for you, you just remember this."

Situ Nan said casually.

It's just a small thing.

"The second thing is that I suddenly came up with an idea about film, I think it is necessary for Hollywood to organize the major film companies and establish an organization or alliance, with actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, cinematographers and other industry elites, so that they can become the pillars of Hollywood, let them mediate disputes, or play a role in the studio.

By the way, there is also a film award, just like the Nobel Prize.

The name of the institution is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the awards event is called the Oscars, how about that?

William Film Company should take this head and not give this honor to others. ”

South Szeto Road.

"Interesting idea, worth a try." Rose thought for a moment and smiled faintly.

"This is a good thing for a hundred generations, why aren't you excited? Not positive either? Situ Nan glanced at Rose with some confusion.

"I know it's a good thing, if it does, Rose. Blake or Rose. The name Dawson may have been famous for centuries and crushed all the men in Hollywood, but I'm more interested in, why are you interested in this? Or do you hide behind your back and be an obscure hero? ”

Rose smiled, her eyes staring at Situ Nan.

"I just want to help you, and I'd better let that guy Meyer take the honor, so you might as well get it." Situ Nandao glanced at Rose, "As for my low-key habits, you still don't understand?" ”

"Oh! I thought that I suddenly fell in love with the film company, and I wanted to fulfill the promise of the unspoken female star that someone once said? Rose laughed.

"Neurotic!" Situ Nan scolded with a smile, it was just a joke at the time, the slogan was shouted loudly, and the film company was also opened, anyway, he was an actress and had never had unspoken rules, and he didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he looked at his watch, and the time was almost leaving.

"Something?" Rose asked.

"Long Beach! I have to deal with some things in the lab. Situ Nan nodded, in order to realize the industrial production of nylon, the laboratory has built an experimental base in Long Beach, and Situ Nan needs to go and see.

The stakes of this experiment are strictly confidential, so I won't tell Rose.

After Situ Nan finished speaking, he left, and did not forget to turn around and tell Rose: "Remember, shape the award into your appearance!" ”

Rose followed Situ Nan's advice and returned to the company to find the company's CEO, William. Fox negotiated the establishment of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy Awards.

In order to ease the workload, Rose asked William. Fox became CEO and retained the chairmanship himself.

William. Fox happily supported Rose's idea, and Rose brought together MGM, Universal, Paramount, United States, Columbia, Raiden Hua and other film companies to discuss, and it was quickly recognized by everyone.

Rose personally drafted the report, founded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and served as its first president.

Of course, she hasn't forgotten that she designed the Academy Awards based on herself.

She also personally contacted Cummins Broadcasting, Los Angeles Times and other important media, and co-organized the first Oscars with Cummins Broadcasting and Los Angeles Times!

The location is at the Kodak Theatre.

The Kodak Company is an important part of the Hollywood film industry.

Meyer was a little unwilling to be robbed of his reputation by Rose and William Films, which in his opinion should belong to him, but was taken away by a woman, but what if he was unwilling?

Rose's contribution and ability are all there, and everyone has to admit that even Kodak supports Rose.

The Los Angeles Times called Rose the Queen of Hollywood, who created the Oscars in the first year of the Oscars.

The huge honor almost carried Rose away, maybe it was too much entertainment, maybe the honor was too heavy, she was busy and dizzy, this is normal, so that when a woman named Catherine. When Hepburn's actress found her, she was at a loss, almost forgetting that this was the "relational household" ordered by Situ Nan.

"You're Catherine. Hepburn? ”

Rose looked at the woman in front of her, her appearance was not outstanding, but she had clear water chestnuts, a long face and a pointed chin, which could leave an impression on the screen.

No wonder Situ Nan said it wasn't his thing!

Rose thought to herself.

"Yes!" Catherine. Hepburn looked at Rose adoringly, and she was a little reserved in front of the Hollywood queen.

She said that she wanted to develop in Hollywood, and her friend Miss Kuzdova recommended some relationships to her, but she didn't expect it to be the famous William Film Company.

She was very excited, and she felt that she was close to her dream.

"Hollywood is the land of dreams, work hard, and you will become a big star." Rose smiled and encouraged Catherine. A few words from Hepburn, the young Catherine. Hepburn excitedly called Sister Rose.

What a clever girl!

Catherine's family is wealthy, and she is also an actress from Broadway. Crawford is much luckier, and his temperament is much cleaner and nobler!

If Joan. Crawford is seductive and sexy, Catherine. Hepburn is cold and noble.

William Pictures is optimistic about these two actresses and is ready to package them well.

and Catherine. Hepburn joined William's film company at about the same time as a man named Clark. Gable's actor, twenty-five years old, has a pair of tricky ears and has never been famous, but his acting skills are good, and his smile is a little charming, which fascinates a middle-aged woman.

The two actually got married and went to Hollywood together.

There are countless dreamers like them, some from all over the United States, some from Europe, and they have come across the ocean.

The curtain is slowly opening, this is the golden age of Hollywood!

It is not only actors and film companies that make dreams, but also stars on the Wall Street stock market such as Cummins Electric and Kodak! (To be continued.) )
