America 1982-Chapter 87 - 8: Reasons for Leaning Towards the White Robe Society_3
Indeed, upon hearing Tommy’s reply, Stephen sighed, "Honestly, sometimes I forget you come from that rural area of Warwick and our differences. You have a family that values kinship, while I only have relations that are indifferent. A son always hopes for his father’s praise, right?"
"Don’t be too pessimistic. If those SSD guys don’t pick me, then you’ll have to reach out and make sure I can join a fraternity, chase some girls, and have a few drinks." Tommy lifted his bottle and clinked it with the other’s, laughing as he spoke.
Stephen took a swig and felt a bit downcast, "I’m actually starting to hope that those idiots will reject you, but I don’t think they will, especially not the dumbasses from the White Robe Society. Seeing that I brought VSA’s housing manager to meet you, unless he’s shot his brains out while sleeping with a girl, he would be smart enough to immediately start looking for more detailed information about you. Hey, whether it’s the White Robe Society or the Phoenix Society, it won’t affect the relationship between the two of us in CSLS, right?"
"Hard to say, brother," Tommy said with a serious face, speaking indifferently.
Stephen was taken aback, then looked at Tommy. The next second, Tommy laughed and pointed in the direction of the Betty Society, "Unless you’re planning not to introduce me to those girls because I joined the White Robe Society."
"Actually, I have a better introduction for you. Next month, I’m going to Los Angeles; do you want to come with me? There’s a party hosted by a Hollywood production company. The finance company that manages my money received the invitation they sent me. There are two tickets, and they hope I’ll put some money into investing in a movie. I heard there will be some young actresses at the party who are very open to... play."
Tommy looked at the beaming Stephen and hesitated before advising, "Hollywood is indeed known for its open play, but your best option isn’t to waste a spot taking me for some sightseeing. Instead, you should bring your professional investment manager to handle the negotiations for you. Film companies will use any means to attract investment, and you don’t necessarily need to pick up actresses at that kind of party to end up in bed with them."
Although gender equality has been preached in the United States for many years, in a place like Hollywood, actresses are just appendages to men and company resources. From Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, to the current famous Hollywood actresses, someone who wants to become a Hollywood star must first learn to become a Hollywood whore.
Even living in Warwick, Tommy had seen all sorts of tabloid news on television and in the newspapers about Hollywood actresses with various rich men or high-ranking officials. Just a bit of analysis would reveal that those aren’t real relationships or casual conversations but just Italian and Jewish Hollywood moguls treating various actresses merely as whores to be offered up for transactions with those people. Even the Americans had become desensitized to such affairs, after all, they’ve seen the scandalous stories like the Kennedy brothers and Marilyn Monroe playing ’two kings one queen.’ What’s the big deal with other explosive news?
Respect women? In male-dominated Hollywood, ’actress’ is a synonym for ’high-class call girl.’
Stephen, young and wealthy, might indeed be treated like a cash cow by some film company. If they send a few actresses to wind him up, and with his gentlemanly attitude, he might impulsively invest a substantial amount in their movies, usually with less than favorable outcomes – generally ending with money down the drain.
It’s not that movies don’t have the chance to be hits, but if you’re an amateur without a long-term commitment to deeply cultivating the film industry, naturally, they will take you for all you’re worth. After all, even though their own actresses might be whores, they aren’t sleeping with you for free.
They might invest your money in a blockbuster, but they’ll fake the figures and tell you it went into another film that made no profit. If you want to break even, keep investing; they’ve got another ’great’ script that’s about to start shooting, or when they involve amateurs in investment, they might write it off for two films, ensuring that even if one is a hit, the release of the other could be indefinitely postponed. Want a share of the profits? Wait.
Hollywood’s Jews have countless ways to swindle investors’ money.
That’s why Tommy advised Stephen not to waste an invite on him for an eye-opening experience but to bring a professional investment manager instead and not to blindly make promises after a few drinks.
Seeing Tommy’s serious expression, Stephen nodded, "If you won’t go, then I’ll just have to bring my investment manager. Let’s change the subject. Take me to your dorm and dig out some real alcohol. I know you’ve got a stash." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Relieved that the other was willing to take his advice, Tommy breathed easier, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder toward Hope Apartments in the night.
