Johnny Fontan rushed to the airport early in the morning. He slept at his ex-wife's house last night. Whenever he felt down or tired, he would return to this safe haven. Every time he thought about this, he regretted his decision. Why would he be obsessed with marrying a Hollywood slut who made his life a mess?

The news of the arrival of the flight came over the airport broadcast. Johnny asked his driver to pick up Shen Long at the exit. This was also what Shen Long specifically told him in advance. He was a big star. If people saw him and the underworld, It's not good to have people coming and going; it's fine at home in Long Beach, New York, where there aren't many reporters, but it's different at Los Angeles Airport.

"Hey, Fredo, you were in a hurry last time, this time I'm going to take you to have fun." Johnny shouted affectionately, he was very grateful to Shen Long.

"Johnny, let's talk about the fun later. I have something very important to tell you this time." Shen Long asked the driver to start the car. In the car, he did not talk about business with Johnny, but casually Talking about those Hollywood female stars.

Returning to Johnny Fontane's home in Beverly Hills, Shen Long and him entered the study alone, while Willie Qiqi and Johnny's black butler stayed in the living room.

"Thank you, Johnny, how was the movie?" Shen Long asked as he took the wine glass handed over by Johnny Fang Tan.

"The film was finished and the manager was very cheerful and very kind to me." Johnny Fontan also thought that Shen Long was worried that Woltz would cause trouble during the film editing. "The scenes I participated in were very important and the editor could not Throw these shots away, and if that's the case, then the money Waltz invested will be wasted."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Long shook his head, "I remember you said before that this film will not only bring you a little salary, but more importantly, this role will enhance your status in Hollywood."

"Yes, this role is great, and my performance is also outstanding. I think I have a good chance of winning the Academy Award this year. Once I win the Academy Award, I can still be popular for another ten years." Johnny Fontane is already thirty. Five years old and in a period of transition, he is very eager to win the Academy Award this year.

The Academy Awards are the Oscars. This award was proposed by Hollywood King Meyer in 1929. It has a history of 16 years and has now become the most important award in the film industry.

Shen Long shrugged, "According to the news I have received so far, your chances of winning are slim."

Johnny Fontan was a little angry. He thought Shen Long underestimated his acting skills, "What are you talking about? The film hasn't started editing yet, and it hasn't even been released yet. You traveled across the entire United States just to say this to me?" "

"Johnny, I'm just worried about your future. Godfather feels that you need his help; Johnny, you can't always regard yourself as a singer or movie star. You need to think about your future." Shen Long remembered what his godfather said. , if you want to give the other person a favor, then you need to let him know the value of the favor.

"If I don't win the award this time, then I'm doomed. My voice is no longer good and I can't sing like before. Why do you think I can't win the award?" Johnny realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Woltz doesn't want you to win the award, and he won't spend money to help you with public relations." The Oscars are not just about signing up. They also need to spend money on public relations for members with voting rights. "I heard that he doesn't care about everyone." Every voter has told you not to let them vote for you, and he even plans to pay for another candidate to win; the film you shot may win many Oscars, but it will not include your Best Actor. main character."

Johnny poured himself a glass of whiskey dejectedly, drank it in one gulp, and then shrugged, "Now I'm done." Without this Oscar, his future will become very slim.

He burst into tears and threw the wine glass against the wall angrily, but his movements were weak and weak. The thick wine glass fell to the floor and rolled back towards him. Johnny looked at the wine glass blankly and laughed inexplicably. The news devastated him.

He began to ramble on about his past, and how he stupidly got divorced. That incident made his godfather very angry. He stopped answering his calls for a time and didn't see him when he arrived in New York. Johnny began to sincerely admit his mistake.

His words once moved Shen Long. No wonder the godfather liked this guy. Johnny was quite famous.

"Forget about the past, I'm here to help you win the award this time; can you, the godfather, tolerate his godson being bullied by Woltz? The godfather has much more influence than Woltz, and he controls every important person in Hollywood. Unions influence the big guys who control the film industry, not to mention a few voting members of the society."

Shen Long patted Johnny on the shoulder hard, "He won't point a gun at those people's heads and ask them to vote. He will convince these people to vote for you willingly, but you also have to live up to your expectations. If you don't live up to your expectations, we won't do it again." No matter how hard you try, it’s useless.”

Johnny wiped away his tears and his worries turned into joy. Yes, there is my godfather standing behind me. As long as he is willing, I can get the Oscar.

"Fredo, don't worry, I will do my best to cooperate." Once he wins the Oscar, Johnny's future will be guaranteed, and he can let his beloved daughter live a better life. These two The little angel is his most precious treasure now.

"That's good, I will stay in Hollywood for a while and help you run this thing." Shen Long smiled. This is much better than straight to the point saying that I will help him get the Oscar. In this case, Johnny would not be so gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Fredo, I'll call my godfather later to express my gratitude." Johnny said gratefully.

"But Godfather feels that just winning an award cannot completely solve your problem. It would be great if you could have your own production company, but the prerequisite is whether you have the brains and courage." Shen Long said about the second step. Things, it sounds like they are still thinking about Johnny.

"It's a good idea. I don't lack brains and courage, but building a studio is not an easy task. It requires a lot of money, and no bank is willing to give me a loan. Fredo, make a movie." The funds required are millions of dollars." Although Johnny is a big star, the money he earned before was either given to his ex-wife or spent on excessive drinking, but he did not have such a lot of money.
