    Joan Fontaine joined Hollywood in 1935 and has maintained a tepid status since then.  At the beginning, the actress auditioned at MGM and was signed by MGM as a second-rate actress. In the past few years, although she has filmed many movies, the results were not satisfactory. She was only one step away from becoming a superstar, and this step  , but it seems so out of reach.  For Joan Fontaine, this situation began to change in 1940.  This year, she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her participation in Hitchcock's "Butterfly Dream", which allowed Joan Fontaine to truly enter the radiant acting stage.  "The contract was signed, but now there's a problem." Nicholas smiled.  He is the former head of MGM. Although he has left MGM over the years, he still has many insiders inside MGM, so he still knows the information inside better than the average person.  "At first, Hitchcock and MGM were interested, then they switched to Warner Bros. Pictures, and now they have jumped to RKO. Joan Fontaine has been deeply fascinated since she participated in "Butterfly Dream"  Hitchcock, it can be said that in this woman's eyes, Hitchcock was a god-like existence. In this way, she obviously did not want to stay at MGM. Therefore, Joan Fontaine ran away in private late one night.  At Hitchcock's place, the two had a detailed conversation. "What to talk about?" Victor asked.  Nicholas shook his head: "I don't know what we were talking about, but it turned out that Joan Fontaine ran out crying. After she came back, she took dozens of sleeping pills at home. Fortunately, the servant found it early and sent him to the hospital in time. This  "I just saved a life." "No, how could it be so serious?" Victor was stunned.  "It is said that Hitchcock behaved extremely ruthlessly and decisively in the face of Joan Fontaine, who was following her enthusiastically. He rejected Joan Fontaine without hesitation, telling her that he had chosen her only because of her  Her personality was suitable for the script he was working on at the time, but that didn't mean that he would always use her in the future. As for Joan Fontaine's proposal to follow Hitchcock to RKO, Hitchcock even cursed Joan Fontaine.  "How to put it this way, Hitchcock has his merits and the movie is not bad, but he is also very smart, even if Joan Fontaine is not famous.  But if he kidnapped Joan Fontaine, Meyer would definitely not let him go. Therefore, Hitchcock would definitely not provoke Joan Fontaine, but would directly drive her away.  Woman." After hearing what Nicholas said, Victor felt very sympathetic to Joan Fontaine.  This woman is beautiful, quiet, and thoughtful.  With a reserved and gentle personality, meeting these men was a complete ordeal.  "After returning from the hospital, Joan Fontaine locked herself in the villa without seeing anyone. The newspaper reported that the woman was in a very bad mood now and could not perform at all. After this matter was publicized, Meyer was very angry  , directly caused Irving Salberg to terminate Joan Fontaine's contract. Now Joan Fontaine is deserted and no one cares about her. It can be said that she has fallen to the bottom. "Nicholas lit a cigarette and looked at Victor: "Victor.  "This is a good opportunity." "It is indeed a good opportunity." Victor's eyes lit up.  If we can win Joan Fontaine, it will definitely be a matter of great significance to Legendary Film Company.  "But, it's a bit difficult." Victor rubbed his temples: "She's like this now. I'm afraid she's not interested in anyone. It's hard for us to impress her." "That's your business. I can't control this." Nicholas said evilly  smiled.  Victor thought for a while and said to Nicholas: "In this case, you ask someone to compile a copy of Joan Fontaine's information and hand it to me, and I will take a look at it." Nicholas obeyed, and soon, a dozen thick documents were placed on the table.  Victor's desk.  Looking through Joan Fontaine¡¯s information, Victor became more and more interested in this woman.  Joan Fontaine, whose real name is Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland. In Hollywood, she also has a sister - Olivia de Havilland. This sister is now far more famous in Hollywood.  More than Joan Fontaine 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 fulfilled all the qualifications of a script superstar. In history,  , Joan Fontaine's sister has won two Oscars, and she is extremely famous.  With such a strong sister, Joan Fontaine seemed destined to live in her sister's shadow. Even when she decided to follow in her sister's footsteps and enter Hollywood, her mother felt that doing so might affect her sister and was not allowed.  Her surname was de Havilland, and Joan Fontaine had to adopt her stepfather's surname, Fontaine, as her stage name.  "It's very interesting." Victor put down the information, looked at the night outside the window, thought for a while, and then dialed the phone.At a short time, Anthony broke in with sweat all over his head.  "Uncle Anthony, there is something I need you to do. However, you must do it quietly and not let anyone know." Victor said.  "What's the matter?" Seeing Victor speaking so solemnly, Anthony looked at him worriedly.  Victor placed the photos of Joan Fontaine and her sister on the table, and said to Anthony: "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's nose almost became angry.  "Well. This is very important, go ahead." "I will give you an answer in three days." Anthony took away the two photos.  Three days later, Anthony sent Victor a box full of information.  These materials contain almost all the social records of this sister from childhood to adulthood, and there are also detailed news reports.  After carefully analyzing the information, Victor found that the relationship between the two sisters was completely more serious than he thought. It was not bad, but very bad. A pair of biological sisters almost came to the point of drawing swords against each other.  Due to her parents' preference, society's preference, and her sister's dominance, Joan Fontaine has always been shrouded in shadow.  Victor lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes to read the news reports in his hand carefully. Among them, one piece of news caught Victor's attention.  "Haha, there's a way!" Victor slapped Anthony on the back: "Anthony, hurry up and do something for me. Get me this thing." Anthony looked at the newspaper and was filled with excitement.  Headache: "No way!? What do you want this thing for!?"
