"After you win the award, you start making your plan, you're going to start shooting three films, with the best equipment, the best actors, the best team, you can use whoever you need, and then you'll have three or five long-term plans." Shen Long said according to the plan he had discussed with Tom Hagen before.

"Fredo, are you crazy? At least $20 million to do that? Johnny had just taken out his cigar and was about to light it, when he was so frightened by Shen Long that he fell to the ground.

Don't be afraid that you need more money, just fear that you need less, you must not underestimate the savings of the Corleone family, Shen Long said calmly, "When you need money, just tell me, I will tell you the name of a California bank, and they will provide you with the loan you need." ”

"Don't worry, this bank will always fund you, of course, everything needs to be done according to the formalities, there must be a valid reason, just like normal business operations, they will agree, but you have to discuss with me first, let me see your plan and budget, is that okay?" The bank is actually controlled by the Corleone family.

Johnny was silent for a long time, of course he knew that the money would not be unconditional, and then calmly asked, "Is there any other condition?" ”

Shen Long smiled, "Are you saying you need to do something for a loan of 20 million?" Of course you need to do something; If the Godfather wants you to do something, you wouldn't want to? "This is not 2,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, but 20 million yuan, which is enough to set up a medium-sized film company in today's Hollywood.

"If there is a very serious problem, it must be taught to me by my father's mouth, and I will not listen to you, nor will I listen to Santino." In the face of the temptation of twenty million dollars, Johnny still kept a clear head, he knew that Santino was impulsive and might make him do something dangerous, and Fredo had the impression that he was just going to spend a lot of time.

It is really not easy to be so valued by the godfather, Shen Long was impressed in his heart, he agreed to know what the impression his body had left on others before, he was not angry because of Johnny's words, as long as he gave himself some more time, he would also believe in himself like he believed in the godfather.

"Let me say it again, you can rest assured that we won't ruin your reputation in any way, and we won't let you do anything dangerous and stupid, and I can guarantee that you will do what you need to do, even if we don't say it." In this era, the Corleone family is not the only one who launders money through Hollywood, and similarly, this kind of thing is not a big deal for Hollywood studios, and Johnny must know it well.

"Okay!" Johnny's whole body relaxed.

"Also, the godfather thinks that you have brains, so the investment given to you by the bank will make money, and we will also make money accordingly, so this is an authentic business, you don't want to spend this money indiscriminately, after all, this is 20 million! In order for you to get this money, we also take a lot of risks. Shen Long finally reminded.

"Please, godfather, don't worry, since an idiot like Mark Waltz can become a movie mogul, then anyone can." Johnny has always been a sensitive.

"Then it's settled, everything will be done according to normal business operations at the beginning of the plan, remember to find a lawyer before signing the contract, if it is convenient, you can also give it to me in advance, I will let Tom help you see; By the way, your company will not encounter any labor disputes, which will save costs accordingly. "The entire Hollywood union is under the control of the Corleone family, who dares to look for trouble.

"Do I need your opinion on other issues? For example, actors, scripts, etc.? Johnny asked one last question.

"You can rest assured in this regard, after all, you are the person who knows Hollywood best, and if there is any problem, I will point it out directly." Shen Long has studied a lot of Hollywood materials during this period, and knows which movies will make money and which will lose money, if Johnny takes a script that is bound to pay a lot of money, he will definitely not pass, "Okay, let's get down to business, let your driver take me to the hotel in a while." ”

"I'll drive you, please thank the godfather on my behalf, I wanted to call him personally, but unfortunately he never answered the phone, do you know why?" Johnny asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"He doesn't want his voice to be recorded, you know, sometimes people will technologically edit unrelated words together and it sounds like something else." The godfather was afraid of the accusations fabricated by the authorities, so he was very cautious in every detail.

Johnny helped Shen Long open the door of the study, and sent him and Willy Chichi to the hotel, he didn't get out after the car was parked, he waved in the car and started the car back to go home, he needed to calm down and think about it seriously, this is a big plan, and it is also a rare opportunity.

In Hollywood, not just a big star can take charge of a film company, even Chaplin has to cooperate with Van Punk, Bickf, and Griffith.

Back at the hotel, after dinner, Shen Long began to assign tasks to Willy Chichi, "Tomorrow you go to Bille Gough, he is the head of the family in Hollywood, and then ask him to introduce you to some people...... Although the movie has not yet been released, all the preliminary work can already begin.

Johnny was also thinking about how to thank his godfather at this time, he remembered that his godfather valued family and friendship the most, and was very happy when he saw Connie sing with his childhood friend Nino Valenty on the day of their wedding, and he had promised to help Nino Valenti become famous but did nothing.

So he immediately picked up the phone, called Nino Valentine, and sincerely invited him to come to Hollywood, and he would help Nino Valenty make a record and help him make a name for himself in Hollywood.

By the way, it's better to have a Sicilian song, and that day Valenti and I sang a Sicilian folk song, and my godfather loved it, even though he left Sicily when he was 9 years old, he always missed his hometown.

After making an appointment with Valenti to meet at the airport tomorrow, Johnny began to wonder if it would be better if I made a film about Sicily.

If you can see the scenery of Sicily on the big screen, the godfather must be very happy, right? It's just that not only to reflect the scenery of Sicily, but also to be able to make money or win awards, that is a very good script.
