The next day Johnny picked up Nino Valenti at the airport. As soon as he saw him coming out, Johnny immediately squeezed out from the fans who were surrounding him asking for autographs and gave Nino Valenti a big hug. .

Although Nino Valenti has always wanted to do things for the Corleone family, his godfather refused to allow it, saying that he was a born artist and should not be involved in these things, so he could only drive for others and earn a fortune every week. Over a hundred dollars.

However, this also allowed Johnny to no longer have to avoid others like meeting Shen Long, and he could meet Nino openly. He did not have any criminal records or files in the police.

Johnny not only found Nino, but also his friends from the song and dance troupe, who provided Nino with accompaniment. He held a small notebook next to him, calculating the cost of recording the record, while enjoying Nino. The way he sang while holding a wine glass, this guy wouldn't be able to sing if he didn't have a mandolin or a wine glass in his hands.

He asked the producer to find some Italian and Sicilian folk songs for Nino to sing, and also added the song he and Nino performed at the wedding. He knew the godfather liked these; Nino's voice also satisfied Johnny very much. , he felt that this album would be a big hit, at least hundreds of thousands of copies.

In this way, not only did he give his godfather a very good gift, but he also made a fortune for himself. Of course, this sum also included the godfather's profit.

Thinking of this, Johnny regretted that it was too late to fulfill his promise. If Nino Valenti had been brought into the circle earlier, he might have become a big singer by now.

Hey, it would be great if movie scripts were as easy to find as songs. Thinking of the scripts, Johnny couldn't help but shake his head and sigh slightly. All the songs in this album are songs that have been circulating in Italy or Sicily for many years. It can be used directly, but the script will not work and needs to be re-created.

Johnny was good at singing and acting, and he could manage the company, but he was not good at script writing. He found a few Italian screenwriters through his personal network, but after talking to them, , Johnny found the stories they told simply unattractive.

Not only is it unlikely that the Godfather will like it, but movie fans will also not like it. If these stories are put on the big screen, they are destined to lose money. You must know that he plans to shoot this movie in Sicily, and the cost of traveling to other countries to shoot is not high. Low, he didn’t want his company to lose money on its first film.

While he was distressed, Nino Valenti had finished recording the music he was going to record today. He came over with a glass of wine and put his arm around Johnny's shoulders, "Johnny, what are we going to do later?"

"Uh, go to a party? Don't be as shy as before this time!" When Nino Valenti first came to Hollywood, Johnny took him to attend some gatherings of insiders, many of whom became famous. All the female celebrities have been fascinated by this cute boy for a long time, and even took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.

There were many very famous stars among them, but Nino Valenti didn't sleep with any of them, which made them doubt their own charm.

"No, no, no, although I like drinking very much, I always worry about being eaten by them when I drink with them." Nino Valenti shook his head repeatedly, "I heard that Fredo is in Hollywood now? Let's go and have a drink with him. ?” You should always feel more comfortable drinking with your own people.

Although Nino is not involved in the affairs of the Corleone family, he has a good personal relationship with the family, so Johnny readily agreed, "Bring the record you just recorded and let Feredo listen to it."

The two of them took the recorded music and drove to a hotel in the city to find Shen Long. Shen Long invited them in. Together with Willy Chichi, the four of them listened to Sicilian folk songs and drank Sicilian wine. Produced red wine.

Mount Etna brings rich minerals to the land of Sicily, giving the local wine a distinctive personality. For these Italian descendants, this is a better wine than Bordeaux red wine.

"Johnny, if Godfather hears these songs, he will be very happy." Shen Long knew that Johnny wanted to express to Godfather through this gift that he was a grateful and nostalgic person.

Shen Long appreciates this quality, which shows that Johnny will not betray the Corleone family and will fully support the Corleone family's money laundering plan in the future.

"The album will be recorded soon. When the time comes, I will bring a few copies over and you can help me take them back to Godfather, Santino and Mike," Johnny said.

Shen Long also told him about his recent operations. During this period, he convinced many voting members of the society, and Johnny's Oscar was basically guaranteed.

"Thank you very much." Johnny raised his glass again.

While drinking, Johnny thought about the script again and frowned unconsciously. This small detail was noticed by Shen Long, "What's wrong? It's because the studio's preparations are not going well. still?"

"No, things at the studio are going very smoothly. I have found some reliable manpower. What I am worried about is another thing. I want to shoot a movie related to Sicily, and I will go to Sicily for filming in the future. , but I have never been able to find a suitable script." Johnny said with a sad face.

"A movie related to Sicily?" Hearing this, Shen Long couldn't help but think of Corleone Village, the hometown of the Corleone family, and the two bodyguards who protected Mike in the village in the movie.

One of these two people betrayed Mike and was killed at the end of the film, while the other became Mike's right-hand man. In the third part of "The Godfather", he showed no fear in the face of a powerful enemy and simply killed him with his glasses. Don Lucchesi.

This good guy named Gallo is a subordinate of Don Tommasino, an ally of the Corleone family in Sicily. Maybe he can get Gallo from Tommasino while Johnny is going to Sicily to make a movie? There is always talent. Not too much.

"Yes, because it has to be shot outside the United States, the shooting cost is relatively high. If you don't have a good script, you will definitely lose money." Johnny took another sip of wine.

This movie, like these songs, should be a gift from Johnny to his godfather. Shen Long understood his plan, and he was willing to facilitate it, so he thought about it and said, "That's good, let's leave the script to me." give it to me!"
