Chapter 149: Audition

Tang is the esteem of Italians for men with status, just like "Feng" in German and "Fan" in Dutch. In the Mafia family, this name is only enjoyed by the patriarch, Roco-La Their behavior can be seen as an oath of allegiance to the new godfather within the Mafia.
Albert and Power kept up, and finally Tom hesitated for a moment, and from now on, his direct loyalty will not be Old Vito, but Shen Long.
In the following period, Shen Long reorganized the business and power within the Corleone family, and many old guys followed Tessio and Kleimansha, which made his reform many obstacles less and supported by old Vito Next, he quickly took over the family power, promoted Rocco Rapon and Willie Chichi as commanders of the legion, and Albert Neri became his personal bodyguard and family executive.
In business, he still follows the old Vito's way, only engaged in gray or white zone business, and never participates in black business; he also began to take over those political resources from the godfather, these resources surprised him, Judges, parliamentarians, sheriffs ... Many high-profile figures maintain friendship with the Corleone family.
This makes him feel like he is now in the magic capital of the East, becoming Du Yuesheng. Is this what humanity hopes for America? It doesn't feel much better than the chaotic Shanghai.
Santino finally solved Carlo, which made Connie angry, but after learning the truth, she had nothing to say. Growing up in the Corleone family from below, she certainly understood how the family would deal with the traitor. However, the relationship between her and Santino can no longer be as intimate as before.
This made Santino decadent and rarely intervened in the family's affairs, but it was a good thing for him and Shen Long, maybe after a year or two, he would just be better after he came back, By that time, Shen Long's status will also become unshakable, and it doesn't matter if he starts to intervene in family affairs again.
Every time when giving an order, Shen Long, like Old Vito, will definitely not take the means of leaving evidence by phone or letter, but will call Rocco or Tom alone and give them an order. They Then look for the real executor, so that even if the executor is caught by the police, it will not affect yourself.
However, Shen Long also knows that this method cannot always guarantee his safety. When the United States began to seriously consider dealing with gangsters in the 1970s, a document submitted to the "Rico Act" would smash this method; this bill provides that if Someone is considered to be a gang leader, so any younger brothers committing crimes do not need to look for the evidence he ordered. The gang leader should be punished for this relationship alone.
This decree sent most of the US chieftains to prison and was sentenced to a long sentence. The golden age of American gangsters has just passed, but now it is still early in 1970. Shen Long is not worried about these.
After properly organizing the New York family headquarters, Shen Long took Albert Nellie to Hollywood. He had obtained the consent of the big brother Franco Falcon before and could expand his influence here.
After seeing Falcon, he met with Johnny Fontan and Nino Valenti, "Freddo, congratulations, when the godfather and sonny were injured, I wanted to go back to New York to visit them, but the godfather Not allowed. "
"Johnny, you are a public figure, you should not be involved in these things; Nino, you should control the amount of alcohol, or you will die soon!" Shen Long greeted them cordially, both of them were A good partner from small to big.
"But, if you can't drink alcohol, what's the point of life?" Nino didn't care.
"Johnny, I recently heard about one thing. Your personal doctor is very unreliable. This time I brought a very powerful doctor from New York, let him help you look at your throat!" John Ni's voice was broken and he could no longer sing, but Shen Long saw that the situation was not as exaggerated as he said.
After the examination, the doctor told Johnny, "You have a small tumor in your throat. This is not a difficult problem. Just remove the tumor by surgery!"
"Can I continue to sing from now on?" Johnny was excited, although he had already won the Oscar's best actor, but singing is his life.
"I can't guarantee it, but it will never be worse than it is now." The doctor shrugged and hesitated for a while. Johnny agreed to the doctor's advice and was ready to undergo surgery immediately.
"Freddo, the preparation work for" Paradise Cinema "is coming to an end, but there will be an audition the day after tomorrow. I have to choose some less important supporting roles. Now I may not be able to play. Can you help me stare? Point? "Since getting the story, Johnny has been full of confidence in Shen Long's film capabilities.
"It's just a trifle. I'll go by then, right, will Huang Zongzhang also go?" Shen Long wondered when he would talk to him about Hongmen again?
"He's a photographer. He must go on this occasion."
Two days later, Shen Long came to Johnny ’s film production company and participated in the audition meeting with Huang Zongzhan. Since today ’s selections are all small roles, everyone is not too nervous, watching and performing while talking and laughing. ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Shen Long looked at the list of actors who came to the audition, and soon saw a name that surprised him. He took out this resume and said to Huang Zongzhan and others, "This guy looks like Some meaning. "
"Oh, he used to work in Warner. He played the leading roles in some B-class movies. He was drafted into the army during the war, but he didn't go to the front line. Instead, he made movies for training and publicity in the Army Air Force; yes, His wife is more famous than him. It is Jane Wyman, a big star. Seriously, it really makes me jealous. How can I not be a big star! "The director assistant of the crew joked.
"Sounds good, let him try it first!" Shen Long put this resume on top.
"No problem." It's just a small character, it will not affect the quality of the film, and should be able to be completed smoothly with his ability. No one wants to cause Shen Long's unhappiness for this little thing, and some people have even begun to think about Don't let them interview people with the same role directly.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am Ronald Wilson-Reagan. I am honored to have this opportunity." The handsome man in his thirties greeted them.
