Chapter 122 Leave the Script to Me

The next day Johnny picked up Nino Valenti at the airport, and as soon as he saw him come out, Johnny squeezed his way out of the fans 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, the godfather firmly forbids it, saying that he is a natural artist and should not be involved in these things, so he can only drive for others and earn 100 yuan a week. Over a hundred dollars.

But this also allowed Johnny to avoid others like Shen Long, and he could meet Nino openly. He didn't have any criminal records or files with the police.

Johnny not only found Nino, but also his companions from the song and dance troupe, and they provided Nino with the accompaniment. He was holding a small book next to him, calculating the cost of making records, and admiring Nino’s music. The way he sings with a wine glass, this guy can't sing without a mandolin or a wine glass.

He asked the producer to find some Italian and Sicilian folk songs for Nino to sing, and also added the song he played with Nino at the wedding, he knew the godfather liked these; Nino's voice also made Johnny very satisfied , he felt that this album would definitely sell well, at least hundreds of thousands of copies.

In this way, he not only gave the godfather a very good gift, but also made himself a fortune. Of course, the profit of the godfather is also indispensable in this sum.

Thinking about these Johnnies, he regretted that it was too late to fulfill his promise. If Nino Valenti had been brought into the circle earlier, he would have become a big singer by now.

Hey, if only movie scripts were as easy to find as songs, Johnny couldn't help shaking his head and sighing slightly when thinking about the script. All the songs in this album are songs that have been circulated in Italy or Sicily for many years. It can be used directly, but the script will not work and needs to be recreated.

Johnny is good at singing and acting, and the management company can handle it well, but he is not good at writing scripts at all. He found a few Italian screenwriters through his network, but after chatting with them , Johnny found the stories they told unattractive at all.

Not only is it unlikely that the godfather will like it, but 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 go to Sicily for this movie, and the cost of going to other countries for shooting is not high Low, he didn't want to lose money on his company's first film.

While he was in distress, Nino Valenti had already finished recording the song to be recorded today, and came over with a glass of wine and put his arm around Johnny's shoulder, "Johnny, what shall we do later?"

"Um, go to a party? Don't be as shy as before this time!" When Nino Valenti first came to Hollywood, Johnny took him to some insider parties, and many of them became famous The female stars who have been around for a long time are all fascinated by this cute boy, and even take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.

Many of them were very famous stars, 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 that I will be eaten by them when I drink with them." Nino Valenti shook his head again and again, "I heard that Fredo is in Hollywood now? Let's find him for a drink ?” Drinking with your own people is always more comfortable.

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

With the recorded music, the two drove to a hotel in the city and found Shen Long. Shen Long invited them in. Together with Willi-Kicchi, the four of them listened to Sicilian folk songs and drank Sicilian wine. Production of red wine.

Mount Etna brought a rich minerality to the land of Sicily, giving the locally produced wines a distinct character,

For those of Italian descent, this is a better wine than red Bordeaux.

"Johnny, the godfather will be very happy if he hears these songs." Shen Long knew that Johnny wanted to express to the godfather through this gift that he is a person who knows how to be grateful and nostalgic.

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 recording of the album will be completed soon, and I will bring a few copies, and you can help me take them back to the godfather, Santino and Mike." Johnny said.

Shen Long also told him about his recent operation. During this period of time, he convinced many members of the academy with voting rights that Johnny's Oscar was basically stable.

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

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

"No, things in the studio are going very well. I have found some reliable people. I am worried about another thing. I want to shoot a movie related to Sicily, and I will go to Sicily in the future. , but I haven't 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, but the other became Mike's right-hand man. Don Lucy Casey.

This good guy named Gallo is under the hands 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? Talent is never too much.

"Yes, because the shooting is going to be done outside the United States, the shooting cost is relatively high. If there is no good script, you will definitely lose money." Johnny took another sip of his wine.

This movie should be the same as these songs, it is a gift from Johnny to the godfather. Shen Long understood his plan, and he was also willing to facilitate this, so he thought for a while and said, "That's good, the script will be handed over to you." give it to me!"

Fredo, you can even write a script? Shouldn't you go to a great screenwriter and point a gun at his head to force him to write? This is not appropriate!
