…

Mr. Johnson is a very famous man, and Shen Yu also met Zhu Yourong for the first time that day at his villa and learned the news about his brother.

"Mr. Shen, welcome to my humble home..."

Having interacted with Easterners a lot, Johnson is also fluent in Ming Dynasty Mandarin and social etiquette.

"Mr. Johnson, you are too polite."

Shen Yu answered in English, and Johnson was polite again.

Seven days have passed since the publication of the book The Godfather. It has become very popular. It is being talked about in newspapers and radio stations. It is said that some big bosses purchase tens of thousands of copies at a time and give one copy to each of their employees.

There were obvious traces of hype, but this made Johnson feel the power contained in it even more.

Who did Shen Yu offend? But those people still openly helped Shen Yu. Johnson didn't want to think deeply about the meaning of this.

After all, Zhu Yourong is just a royal family, and this is the United States, a country that is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, and many members even came to power by scolding the Ming Dynasty.

The more I know about these people who support Shen Yu, the more I value Shen Yu.

The group of people came to the living room, where there were several actors and screenwriters. Everyone welcomed Shen Yu very much. After all, everyone had read the book The Godfather.

The book is good, especially written by a young man who came from a club.

Talented people are welcome at any time, not to mention that Shen Yu has made money again.

"I came here this time to invite Mr. Johnson to play the role of the old godfather in the movie. I hope to get Mr. Johnson's consent."

"When will the movie be shot?"

"The script has been written. As long as the actors are in place, we can shoot directly."

"So fast?"

"I started to conceive of this movie when I was in middle school, and it took me ten years of hard work. During the three years in Hollywood, I was thinking about this movie all the time, revising the novel and perfecting the script again and again. "

"Mr. Shen... I remember the movie Ashes of Time, and you said the same thing."

An actress interjected.

"Why can't I remember saying that?"

Shen Yu looked puzzled, and everyone present burst into laughter.

We are all old foxes in Vanity Fair. They say that it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, or some other rhetoric, and they have learned a lot.

But there is one thing. If a movie script is written in just a few days, it is really easy to go wrong. What's more, the Godfather novel has many characters and they are group portraits. Just now, everyone was talking about how to perfectly present the novel, at least Three and a half hours or even four hours will suffice, but then you won’t be able to pass the theater level.

"Boss Shen, I am very interested in this movie and would be happy to play the role of the godfather, but I need to see the script first and hope that a senior producer will join.

It's not that I don't trust your personal abilities, Mr. Shen, but after all, this is your first time as a director..."

Johnson is a bit like Brando Malone in another time and space. In his fifties, he began to persuade Shen Yu.

He was really interested, so he said so.

"I can complete the filming of the movie in three months. The final version of the movie will take no more than three hours, and the theater release time can be compressed to about two hours."

Shen Yu spoke up, interrupting Johnson's words.

The scene fell into silence. Everyone wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Are you praising Shen Yu for his self-confidence, or are you mocking him for being an idiot?

It takes three months to shoot a group photo, but can it be compressed into two or three hours?

"I came here this time to invite Mr. Johnson to play the role of the old godfather in the movie. I hope to get Mr. Johnson's consent."

"When will the movie be shot?"

"The script has been written. As long as the actors are in place, we can shoot directly."

Suddenly, Shen Yu started talking to himself, as if he was talking to several people, but no one disturbed him, because everyone understood that Shen Yu was retelling the conversation he had with these people when he came in just now.

The conversation lasted for fifteen minutes, and Shen Yu accurately recited the recent conversation word for word - with the help of Teacher Da.

Teacher Da would not help Shen Yu remember everything around him, except what was related to the movie. Just now, Shen Yu was interviewing Johnson to see if he was a suitable actor.

No one present knew the existence of the great teacher, so they naturally thought it was Shen Yu's excellent memory.

As a director, memory is a very important skill. There are hundreds of people on the crew and all kinds of things are missed, and many problems will arise.

"Pah, pah, pah."

After Shen Yu finished retelling the conversation just now, Johnson couldn't help but clapped his hands, and the people around him also praised Shen Yu's memory.

This is really... so admirable.

"My script has been written, and I just have the first scene at hand. Gentlemen, are you interested in rehearsing the first scene with me?"

"Of course, of course I'm very interested!"

Johnson stretched out his hand and picked up the two pieces of paper sent by Ivanov, as did everyone else. Everyone who came today has more or less read the book The Godfather.

This book is very suitable for adaptation, but it is very difficult to adapt. Many people think that Shen Yu will have to wait at least several months before he comes up with the script.

"Very good, but Mr. Johnson, you don't have to play the old godfather. This role is too unchallenging for you. You can play the funeral parlor owner, and I can play the old godfather. Do you think that's okay?"

Yes, of course. Johnson saw the thin five-page paper in his hand and the sketches of lighting, scene planning, and location and environment. He was filled with admiration.

He was once very popular (not famous in Hollywood but not in the Ming Empire), acted in many movies, read countless scripts, and wanted to change his career to become a director, but in the end he lost a lot of money and failed to film The film that came out was unsatisfactory.

Only those who have been directors know how difficult it is to become a director.

He also knows how difficult it is to write a good script.

People like him, after picking up the script, can often feel how the movie will turn out, not to mention, the beginning is amazing!

There were various equipment in the luxurious living room. Adjusting the lights was not a big deal, but Shen Yu arranged the details very well. After Johnson read the script a few times again, he took a deep breath.

"I like America. America has made me rich."

He said according to the script.
