After staying at Columbia University for a few days and discussing his future development direction with Mike in detail, Shen Long returned to Las Vegas with Jonny Maus, Dantraus and the mathematics professor from Columbia University. Will complete this monograph on the game of poker in the Flamingo Club.

At the same time, Shen Long also began to build a smuggling channel to Asia. He did not choose those of Italian descent who were born in the United States to complete this work. These people had lived in the United States for a long time and were more or less influenced by American culture. During World War II, many people ignored old Vito's good intentions, gave up the opportunity to be exempted from military service, and took the initiative to carry guns and go to the battlefield.

In their words, this country is good to me, and I should do something for this country; it is not appropriate to let such people engage in certain actions that may harm the interests of the United States; so Shen Long chose all those A newcomer who has just immigrated to the United States from Sicily within two years.

These people retain Sicilian traditions, loyalty, and distrust of the government. They still regard themselves as Sicilians, not American citizens, allowing them to do these things without worrying about leaks.

And they don’t know where these goods will eventually be shipped. They only know that they are probably shipped to Asia. In Asia, the United States’ sphere of influence is too wide. Countries such as the Philippines and Japan are all within this scope. Shen Long is indeed in Some channels have been established in these places to protect the whereabouts of this batch of materials to the greatest extent.

All they needed to do was hand over the supplies to Hongmen. These people could not speak a word of Chinese during the whole process, and they all talked in English. Shen Long's Sicilian men at best guessed that they were underground forces from the Philippines or Japan.

After finishing all this, Shen Long rushed to Hollywood non-stop. The filming of "Roman Holiday" had been completed, and Audrey Hepburn had also returned from Europe.

The two of them were extremely happy to meet again after a long absence. They stayed in the house for several days without coming out. After Shen Long's dietary maintenance, Hepburn's health improved greatly, and there was no need to worry that she would not be able to survive the battle.

After the film completed preliminary post-production, Shen Long watched the film with Audrey Hepburn, Johnny Fontane, William Wyler, Gregory Peck, Huang Zongzhan and other main creators.

Although he has watched this movie many times, Shen Long was still amazed when he watched it again, especially because the new color picture made up for the regret of the black and white picture and made Hepburn's charm unquestionable.

"Your performance is definitely worthy of a statuette, and this movie is definitely expected to be the best film this year." Shen Long couldn't help but admire, and he planned to use his personal connections to help Hepburn win the statuette. ; Of course, when waiting for the award ceremony, he will definitely be there in person to avoid any blind people causing trouble.

"Yes, Audrey is a born actor. As long as she stands in front of the camera, she can attract all the attention. She will definitely become a legend in Hollywood and even human film history." Great director William Wyler also praised Hepburn's performance. It goes without saying that some things are just natural and others cannot catch up no matter how hard they try.

"Fredo, this movie is going to be released soon. Do you have any good stories? I can't wait to prepare for the new movie!" Johnny asked while rubbing his hands. The success of the two movies in succession, and The capital injection from the Rockefeller Foundation has greatly improved his status in Hollywood, and he enjoys this feeling very much.

"Let Audrey rest for a while. The previous filming was too hard. After Christmas, I will come up with a work that is very suitable for her." Now that "Roman Holiday" has been filmed, the next step is

It's time to film another Audrey Hepburn classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

"Johnny, you can't always count on me for this kind of thing. There are so many writers and so many good stories on the market today. You completely buy their stories and adapt them." After all, I am also the boss of the American underworld, so I can't give it every day.

You write scripts, right? I just need to help you a bit when the company starts, but it will be up to you in the future.

"I know, but their stories are better than what you can tell them." Johnny smiled sheepishly. He was very satisfied with the promise of a movie this time, and he would continue to search for more.

Good scripts, along with the previous success, now the company is receiving more and more scripts, and there are also many long-established and gold medal screenwriters submitting scripts to them. Johnny has many choices.

Not long after, the post-production of "Roman Holiday" was officially completed and began to be released in theaters across the United States. Audrey Hepburn, who was as noble and elegant as a real princess, and Gregory Peck, who was full of American gentlemanly demeanor, quickly conquered the movie.

Fans across the United States, the two of them became Hollywood's new superstars, and the movie's box office continued to rise.

The second film of Johnny Film Studio was also a great success. It not only laundered a lot of money for the Corleone family, but also brought them huge profits. The market value of the studio continued to rise, and even the Rockefeller Foundation

George Thomond also made a special call to congratulate him. This business also improved his status within the consortium a lot.

It's just that old Vito didn't like this movie very much. After all, he is a traditional Sicilian, and Sicilians and Rome have never dealt with each other very well. Naturally, he didn't have much favorable impressions of this movie that described the scenery of Rome.

But now he doesn't care much about things. Seeing that the family is developing rapidly in a way that he doesn't quite understand, he feels that he himself seems to be a little behind the times. Fortunately, the third generation of the family is slowly growing up.

Old Vito felt very happy spending all day playing with his children at the Corleone House in Long Beach.

At Christmas, Shen Long returned to Long Beach and reunited with his family. He saw that Santino had recovered from his depression. However, after so long, the middle level of the family had changed, and he could no longer shake Shen Long's attitude.

Although he had no such idea himself, Shen Long gave him a piece of land in New York and he continued to live his life as before, but his temper improved a lot.

Connie found another handsome young man, but this time the young man did not dare to touch her; Mike brought Kai back and announced that they would get married next year, and everyone sent their blessings.
