Chapter 2: John Ford
Mexican restaurant on Hollywood Street. There are only one of the few high-end restaurants on the whole street, the crystal chandeliers emit this dense light, the neatly dressed waiters serve quietly, and the snow-white dining cloth and the waltz music played by the musical troupe in the restaurant make this exotic restaurant look particularly warm.
However, the atmosphere was clearly ruined by the crowd at the door.
"Victor, who is this dude?" Leo tore a steak with one hand and dipped caviar in the other, snorting at the opposite side.
"Good wine." Victor took a sip of red wine and looked at Anthony, who was sitting across from him with a sad face.
"Victor, go back with me, go back to New York, the family still has hope to turn around, if you don't go back, we will definitely be wiped out......" Anthony was about to say something, but was blocked by Victor.
"Eat, talk about it after eating." Victor had a headache when he heard this, and pointed to a table of dishes.
Anthony wanted to say something, but seeing that Victor looked like his egg hurting, he stopped talking, randomly glanced at the table full of delicacies, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and swept away.
The three of them were like cleaning the battlefield, and the dishes were clanging, which caused the people around them to cast contemptuous glances.
"Hiccup!" Thirty minutes into the battle, Leo and Victor burp almost at the same time.
Across the table, Anthony was still eating hard.
"What's the matter?" Leo whispered.
"The Ferro family!" Anthony has good hearing.
The knife and fork in Leo's hand fell to the ground with a clatter: "What!?" The Ferro family!? ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing Leo so surprised, Victor was a little inexplicable.
The Ferro family, is it good enough to surprise the wood-like Leo like this?
Leo looked at Victor with wide eyes: "Victor, how did you get into trouble with the Ferro family!?" God, you ......"
Anthony wiped his mouth: "He is from the Ferro family, Victor Don Ferro!" ”
Leo opened his mouth wide, and the red wine in his mouth flowed down the corner of his mouth: "I, I heard you right, right?!" Victor, your surname is Ferro? ”
"What's wrong?" Victor said lightly.
Leo slapped his head: "What's wrong!?" What's wrong?! O the great Ferro family! ”
Victor was speechless. What bullshit Ferro family, he hadn't heard of it anyway.
Anthony looked at Leo, pointed to his head, and made a gesture.
Only then did Leo react: "I forgot that you have amnesia." Vito Cassio Ferro, do you remember? ”
Victor shook his head.
Leo really wanted to strangle Victor: "The founder of the Ferro family, synonymous with the greatness and immortality of the mafia, and the existence of the ancestor!" Italian Sicilians, decades ago, everyone in Sicily knew and respected the gods, and later brought their families to New Orleans, single-handedly building the entire mafia today! He is the totem of all American gangsters! ”
Anthony added, "His grandfather." ”
Leo stayed for a long time and looked directly at Victor: "Dude, with your identity, you went to Hollywood to run tricks, and you were full, right?" ”
Anthony shrugged, "Well, that's what I meant. ”
Victor's brain was already buzzing and blank at this time.
Mafia?! Underworld? And also the grandson of the patriarch of the mafia!? Damn, this joke, it's a big deal, right?
A lot of movie footage rushed to Victor's mind: a rain of bullets, deceit, corpses on the streets......
I don't want to fucking be a gangster!? I don't want to die! Victor's heart was screaming.
Anthony looked at Victor sincerely: "Victor, for your dead father's sake, although he is an out-and-out bastard, for the sake of your two brothers who have been beaten like a hornet's nest, for the sake of your grandfather's hard-working foundation being swallowed up, you go back with me, you go back with me......"
Victor: "Why am I going back with you?" Also beaten into a hornet's nest? ”
Anthony was directly choked.
Leo's eyes widened: "What? The Ferro family is now being by someone else? Who is so bold? ”
Anthony looked at the people around him and whispered, "I'll just say this." Victor, your grandfather is the greatest man I have ever met, and for decades, the Ferro family has been the true emperor of American gangsters! Do you know, the Emperor!? But since the death of your grandfather, the family has plummeted, but your father is a second ancestor who can't support the wall, may he rest in peace, so the four major families of the New York gang have joined forces, and the Ferro family has been suppressed for more than ten years, after your father died, your two elder brothers took over, young man, big temper, fire and three years, I don't know how many people died, making the whole New York smoke miasma, last month, they were both killed in the car on the same day, at the same time, the New York police began to fully liquidate the Ferro family, At this glance, you can see that it is the complicity of the police and the gang of dogs. Now that the family has been washed away by blood, almost none of the important members are alive, and the rest are scattered. ”
"So, no matter what, you're going back with me. The Ferro family is left with such a bloodline as you, and only you can reunite this family. Anthony burst into tears as he spoke.
Victor was silent.
In the face of such a man, although he has nothing to do with himself emotionally, after all, these things are constantly cut off from the current body.
But to face the bloody storm of the gangsters, Victor was not mentally prepared.
"Anthony, let's find another place to talk." Victor drank the wine from his glass and beckoned, and the waiter came over and handed the bill to Victor.
Victor didn't look at it and handed the bill to Anthony.
Anthony was stunned, pushed the bill to Victor again, and smirked: "I, no money." “
"What!?" Victor and Leo's colleagues shouted.
Anthony simply said: "No money, I don't have a dollar on me." ”
Victor almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood: "Didn't you say what the Ferro family was?" Is the Ferro family so beautiful that they can't even afford a meal!? ”
Anthony spread his hands: "If half a year ago, I would have been too lazy to come to a restaurant of this grade, but now the situation is different, Victor, we are outlaws now, where will there be any money, you know, not to mention that we usually don't bring money." ”
"I know a!" Victor wanted to cry without tears, and waved his hand at the waiter, signaling that he would talk later.
"What should I do?" The waiter stepped back, and the three of them stared.
"Or, run." Leo glanced at the gate: "It's only a dozen meters away from the gate, you should be able to run away." ”
"This is Hollywood Street! Opposite is the police station, where are you running? The corners of Victor's mouth twitched.
"Then you don't have to sit here forever. Horizontal and vertical is a death. Leo muttered.
While the three of them were discussing, they heard a sudden burst of applause from inside the restaurant, and almost every customer stood up and clapped on the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, surrounded by everyone, a man in his 40s came down.
This man, not very tall but sturdy, with a square face and big ears, dressed in a casual denim suit, wearing round glasses, and holding a cigar in his mouth, nodded at the guests downstairs.
"Who, such a cow?" Victor glanced at the man, but he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Leo's eyes lit up at this time, and he was extremely excited: "Who else can it be!" I'm an idol! ”
"You idol? Who? "Victor doesn't know who Leo's idol is.
"John Ford!" Leo gave Victor a blank look.
John Ford!? The name popped into Victor's mind, causing his body to shake slightly.
John Ford, who later became known as one of America's greatest directors, won numerous awards during his lifetime. After graduating from high school, he entered Hollywood, followed the founder of American cinema, David Griffith, quickly became a director, and was good at making Westerns, many of which became classics in film history, and were praised as "masters of Westerns" by later generations, because his works can best embody the brave pioneering spirit of the United States, and are also known as "drummers of the American spirit".
However, although John Ford is very prestigious, he probably does not have the immortal reputation of later generations, right?
"Victor, don't stay, this is John Ford himself! Last year's "Guanshan Feidu", don't you like it a lot. Leo said excitedly.
"Guanshan Flying"!? Victor finally got it.
In 1939, 20th Century Fox invested in the filming of a film directed by John Ford, which starred John Wayne, the most popular star in Hollywood, and became one of the masterpieces of Westerns, known as "Hollywood's exemplary narrative form film", since then, John Ford and John Wayne have worked together to create a glorious Western for 30 years, and set up a monument that will never be surpassed by future generations.
The John Ford in front of him is the god of the future, and he is now a well-deserved Hollywood pride.
"If we knew him, we wouldn't have to worry about it before dinner." Leo grinned.
Before Leo could finish his sentence, Anthony stood up with a thud, strode up to John Ford, and slapped him.
Then, Anthony said something that made Victor and Leo's eyes fall to the ground.
Anthony said, "Who am I, why are you a bitch in Hollywood!?" ”
