During the Great Depression, all businesses were in decline, and private investigators were unable to receive business at all.
Zhou Hexuan only paid a deposit of US$20 in advance and hired a capable detective, who promised to pay the balance based on the investigation results.
With Zhou Hexuan providing ideas, the private detective went directly to investigate Lorita Young, and it took about six days to get the exact information - maybe Zhou Hexuan remembered it wrong, Lorita Young was not pregnant, and
I gave birth to my daughter two months ago.
The illegitimate daughter was fostered in the St. Elizabeth Orphanage in San Francisco. Every weekend, Loretta Young would quietly visit her daughter. If nothing else happens, the female star will announce the adoption of the orphan next year. Not only will
He saved his reputation, got his daughter back, and gained a commendable reputation as a philanthropist.
As for more information about Clark Gable, it was easily investigated, and it was nothing more than spending more money.
"Sir, this is the information you want." The private detective said happily.
When Zhou Hexuan opened the information, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that the Hollywood movie emperor actually had plastic surgery. Of course, strictly speaking, it couldn't be considered plastic surgery. Clark Gable just had his teeth repaired.
The private detective got a photo from somewhere. It should have been taken when Clark Gable was about 20 years old. He had two very conspicuous big teeth and his chin was much wider than it is now. He looked completely different from his handsome appearance today.
Not only that, the real dark stuff about Clark Gable lies in his two wives.
The woman's name was Josephine Dillon, who was 14 years older than Clark Gable. She was once Clark Gable's agent and the owner of a theater.
The story is summarized like this -
Clark Gable, a young salesman, met a 30-year-old female boss of a theater troupe. After a passionate pursuit, the salesman captured the heart of the female boss. The female boss not only supported the salesperson to perform in her own theater troupe, but also through various relationships,
Bring the salesperson to Hollywood for filming and personally serve as the salesperson's agent.
By the way, the salesman’s first girlfriend was the female boss’s chef. It was through his first girlfriend that the salesman met the female boss and they got married.
Isn’t this story very bloody?
When the salesman gradually became popular, his female boss wife could no longer provide help. So the salesman hooked up with his second wife, a wealthy woman 17 years older than him, and starred in the movie that made him really famous.
Movie.
This information all comes from Clark Gable's first love girlfriend, who was his first wife's chef - the price is $100 in information fees.
After reading the information, Zhou Hexuan not only sighed, this man's counterattack experience with hanging silk is really fierce.
Clark Gable now not only kicked his first wife, but also secretly had inappropriate relationships with at least four female stars behind his back, including Loretta Young, who gave him an illegitimate daughter.
"Mr. Detective, I am very satisfied," Zhou Hexuan smiled and took out the cash check, "This is your final payment."
When the private detective saw the $1,000 denomination, he immediately smiled and said: "It's an honor to work for you, dear sir. If you have similar business in the future, please call me. This is my business card."
night.
Zhou Hexuan took out the dirty information about Clark Gable and said happily: "You guys take a look."
Meng Xiaodong could barely communicate in English and could not understand the English materials, so Vivien Leigh directly took the materials and read them.
After finishing reading the information, Meng Xiaodong said disdainfully: "Isn't this just an American pretty boy?"
"Oh my god," Vivien Leigh said in disbelief, "His experience of becoming famous makes me sick. How could there be such a disgusting man?"
In fact, Vivien Leigh's father Ornish was similar back then. He started his career by hooking up with noble ladies stationed in India. However, Ornish did not marry any noble ladies. They just got what they wanted. There was no problem of cheating on relationships and marriages.
.
Clark Gable's behavior was even more despicable. He married a woman who was 14 years older than him, and then dumped him after using him. Now he married a woman who was 17 years older than him, and he will continue to dump her in the future. Being
The first two wives he dumped were very old when they divorced, so happiness in the rest of his life would definitely be difficult.
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "What do you think will happen to Clark Gable if these materials are made public?"
Vivien Leigh has been in Hollywood for several months and is already familiar with the situation here. She said: "Normal relationships among American stars, and even occasional affairs, are acceptable to the audience. But Clark Gable is a moral issue, plus a
As an illegitimate daughter, as soon as these materials are made public, he will definitely be cast aside by public opinion, and his acting career will be almost over."
"Do you think it should be made public?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"Of course it must be made public!" Vivien Leigh said without hesitation.
Meng Xiaodong hesitated and said: "Let's forget it, why do it have to be so amazing, and it will also have an impact on Vivian."
Only then did Vivien Leigh realize that she still needed to rely on "Titanic" to become popular, and Clark Gable was the leading actor in this movie.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I'll hold it in my hands for now, but I should let Mr. Gable know the seriousness of the problem."
The next morning.
Before Clark Gable entered the studio, a staff member came over with a sealed paper bag: "Mr. Gable, someone asked me to give you this, please be sure to open it and take a look."
"Is it another love letter from a female movie fan?" Clark Gable smiled proudly and threw the paper bag to his assistant.
His assistant didn't take it seriously and slowly opened the paper bag. Then, his face turned pale with fright, he whispered: "Boss, I think you should take a look for yourself."
Clark Gable took it over curiously. His face was gloomy at first, but soon cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Behind the black material, there was a note that read: "Mr. Gable, this is a gift I carefully prepared. Please be nice to Vivian, otherwise everyone will be very unhappy."
"Burn it, burn it right away!" Clark Gable looked like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.
"Boss, I'll take it to the toilet and destroy it," the assistant said. "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it!"
Clark Gable said: "Joseph, starting from this month, I will give you a salary increase."
The assistant said happily: "You are such a generous boss."
Seeing his assistant running to the toilet quickly, Clark Gable also walked quickly towards Vivien Leigh and said in a flattering tone: "Vivian, let's do a duel first, and I'll teach you a few acting tricks."
"Thank you." Vivien Leigh smiled lightly.
In Clark Gable's eyes, that was purely a devil's smile. He overcame his fear and said: "Vivian, is Mr. Zhou still in Hollywood? I admire him very much and want to treat him to dinner."
Vivien Leigh shrugged: "Sorry, he's not available."
"Well, forget it, I hope I will have the opportunity to have dinner with him in the future," Clark Gable said, flattering him wildly. "Mr. Zhou is really a great writer. He can write such a classic story. I think his achievements can be
Comparable to Shakespeare."
"Maybe." Vivien Leigh smiled inwardly.
Clark Gable suddenly turned around and yelled at a staff member: "Who, please bring a chair over here, how can you keep Vivian standing all the time!"
The entire crew was puzzled and looked at Clark Gable stupidly, wondering what the Oscar-winning actor was doing.
From then on, Hollywood movie emperor Clark Gable became Miss Vivien Leigh's "best friend". When facing reporters, he always used the most gorgeous words to praise Vivien Leigh. He even told Variety magazine: "Vivien Leigh
She is the greatest actress in history. Not only is her acting skills and beauty unparalleled, she also has a unique noble character. If there is a perfect woman in the world, her name is Vivien Leigh."
On the contrary, Vivien Leigh never discussed Clark Gable publicly, nor did she admit that she was Clark Gable's friend.
The diametrically opposite attitudes of the two have always been a mystery in Hollywood. Many people in later generations speculated: Clark Gable regarded Vivien Leigh as a goddess, and he always pursued but could not get her. There must have been an epic love story between them.
