642 [Inflated Movie Emperor]
Clark Gable already knew from others that Zhou Hexuan was the original author of "Titanic". But he didn't take the initiative to come over to say hello, but frowned, with an impatient expression on his face - he hated that people came to visit the class, and he hated being affected by inconsequential people.
Historically, Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh had an unhappy quarrel because Vivien Leigh's husband often visited the crew. It just so happens that guy is the same as Clark Gable, he is a big Hollywood star, and he has a bit of a taste of stealing the limelight from the crew.
So Clark Gable declared a personal vendetta, deliberately lost his temper during filming, and found various reasons to drive Vivien Leigh's husband away, causing his relationship with Vivien Leigh to become more and more stiff.
Just when Zhou Hexuan, Meng Xiaodong, and Vivien Li were chatting, Clark Gable walked to the side alone, lay down on his special chair and slept, not even bothering to look at Zhou Hexuan. If it were a great American writer, Clark Gable would definitely not dare to put on a score, but Zhou Hexuan is Asian...... Hehe.
At this time, Hollywood was extremely xenophobic and discriminated against yellow people, and even this discrimination was written into American law. For example, the "Anti-Mixed Marriage Law" passed in 1850 clearly stipulates that Asian actors are not allowed to kiss European and American actors in films.
Racism in Chiguoguo!
As early as ten years ago, Chinese actress Huang Liushuang was already famous, and was widely loved by American audiences with a supporting role, and her name was also given poetry by American magazines - "Huang Liu of Frost".
It's a pity that Huang Liushuang is a Chinese, Asian, and no matter how famous she is, she can only play a supporting role. She couldn't even get a normal supporting role, and gradually fell into roles such as beggars, prostitutes, thieves and stowaways.
Perhaps in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers, Asians should be beggars, prostitutes and thieves – including Japanese.
"William, come here!" Charles Brambie shouted.
Clark Gable had no choice but to walk over impatiently, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and asked, "Director, is there something wrong?" ”
Charles Blanby introduced: "Mr. Zhou, this is the actor of the male lead, Clark Gable. William, this is Mr. Zhou Hexuan, the original author of "Titanic". ”
"Hello, Mr. Gable," Zhou Hexuan said very politely, "I have seen your films in China. ”
Clark Gable was a little surprised, shook hands and said, "Is it, China can actually show movies?" ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and raised his eyebrows: "China can not only show movies, Chinese can also make movies and write." The film you are making now is from the hands of the Chinese. ”
"That's a real pleasure for me." Clark Gable's tone was a little sour.
didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhou Hexuan was no longer interested in chatting with this guy, and even thought with a grudge: Lao Tzu's publishing house has won the book "Gone with the Wind", and when the movie is adapted, you don't want to play the leading role again!
The filming continued, and Zhou Hexuan and Meng Xiaodong sat in the corner and watched with the staff.
At six o'clock in the evening, Clark Gable's assistant suddenly stood up and waved to Clark Gable, who was filming.
Clark Gable went straight out of the performance and said to the director, "It's time for me to get off work, see you tomorrow." ”
Seeing the actor leave the studio alone, Charles Blanby cursed in a low voice: "This bastard! ”
In Hollywood in the 30s, there was no eight-hour work system, and it was the norm for actors to work overtime day and night, and leaving work on time at six o'clock was a very unprofessional embodiment.
But big stars are different, they have special treatment.
Clark Gable used to be a pure sling, but due to family difficulties, he had to drop out of school to explore the city, and worked in more than a dozen occupations such as newsboy, shoemaker, electrician, salesman, and extra.
Four years ago, the popular Clark Gable played with the big star Greta Garbo, and thus saw the superstar's over-standard treatment, such as finishing work on time every afternoon. All this made Clark Gable envious and hateful, and when he got the actor to change the contract, he immediately wrote various privileges into the terms of the contract, including leaving work on time at 6 p.m.
Clark Gable has the confidence to play a big name, and he starred in "One Night Affair" last year, and won five awards at the Oscars for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Actress. His appearance in the film has been wildly imitated by American audiences, and wide coats, V-neck shirts, and wide-brimmed hats have become American street fashion.
There have even been media outlets describing Clark Gable as the "Emperor of Hollywood Movies".
The emperor should do whatever he wants.
After Clark Gable left, the crew continued to film, but changed to a scene without a male lead.
Zhou Hexuan watched them shoot with great interest, and asked the staff a few words from time to time, feeling that the Hollywood film industry was much more advanced than China's.
I was busy until nine o'clock in the evening, and the director finally announced that he would call it a day.
Zhou Hexuan secretly complained: Sure enough, he is an unscrupulous capitalist, and he doesn't care about the lunch box when he shoots so late!
"Where to eat?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
Vivien Leigh took Zhou Hexuan's arm and said, "I know that there is an Italian restaurant where many celebrities eat. ”
Meng Xiaodong also held Zhou Hexuan's other hand, and the picture of this beautiful woman surrounded left and right attracted the astonishment of the crew on the set. In particular, Zhou Hexuan's Asian face made them feel incredible.
came to the restaurant and sat down, Vivien Leigh couldn't wait to start complaining about Clark Gable: "Brother Xuan, I used to admire this person, and I thought Gable in the movie was handsome and personable." But after contact, I found out that this person is really annoying, it's disgusting. ”
"What's wrong with him?" Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile.
Vivien Leigh said: "At first, it was relatively normal, just a little arrogant, he was very serious when filming, and he also taught me some acting skills." But on the third day of the shooting, he did something to me and invited me to dinner in a charity tone. You don't know, he spoke in a way that was as if it was a great honor for me to have dinner with him. I've never seen such an arrogant man, and I've eaten with an English prince, what kind of thing is he? ”
When Zhou Hexuan heard that his woman was being harassed, his face immediately darkened, and he sneered: "This person is inflated." ”
Clark Gable is indeed inflated, from a sling to a movie emperor, it is strange that it is not inflated. Moreover, this guy is also very, he has had scandals with countless female stars, and he can hook up with one every time he films.
If the rumors are true, at this time, Clark Gable has already X-X-the female star Lolita Yang Qiang, and caused the other party to become pregnant - the female star is now pregnant.
Historically, there have also been rumors of Clark Gable trying to force Vivien Leigh, which is rumored to have been said by Vivien Leigh herself. And Clark Gable's response to this is: Vivien Leigh has a mental problem, she is talking nonsense.
Zhou Hexuan was really not at ease, and said to Vivien Leigh: "I'll hire an assistant for you, and by the way, be your bodyguard." ”
"Yes, I just need an assistant." Vivien Leigh said.
Zhou Hexuan said: "I would suggest that the director cancel the kiss scene, or shoot in a different position." ”
"Is that okay?" Vivien Leigh also didn't want to kiss the object of her disgust.
"It has to be, otherwise I will refuse to give my works to MGM in the future, including the works of my publishing house." Zhou Hexuan smiled confidently.
As for saying that "Titanic" has nude scenes, Zhou Hexuan is not worried about it, because of the conservative Hollywood atmosphere in the 30s. No director dares to shoot such an outrageous shot, and even the film company can't withstand the attack of public opinion, and even be interfered with by government departments.
The fact that female stars have children out of wedlock is normal in the United States a few decades later, but if it is replaced by the 30s, this kind of female star will not be able to come out to take over the drama at all. This is also the reason why Zhou Hexuan does not dare to disclose his relationship with Vivien Leigh in the United States, and the actress who marries a Chinese man as his aunt's wife will definitely be sprayed to death in the United States.
Hehe, Zhou Hexuan suddenly thought of something.
Maybe you should find a private detective, check the black material of Clark Gable, as soon as it is made public, the movie emperor will directly ruin his future.
