"Thank you so much for taking the time to audition for us, and for now, please start your show." The assistant director said that there are so many actors like Reagan who are looking for opportunities everywhere that they don't deserve his attention at all.

Then Reagan started his own performance, the assistant director and Huang Zongzhan frowned, and even Shen Long saw some problems, Reagan had previously played some small production actors, and his performances were more patterned, which was not suitable for films with high artistry such as "Paradise Cinema".

At the end of the performance, Reagan looked at them worriedly, and the assistant director looked embarrassed, "Fredo, you see?" ”

"It's up to you." Shen Long waved his hand and didn't care, and the assistant director immediately announced that he would let Reagan go back and wait for the call, and Reagan left with disappointment, with his years of experience in Hollywood, he already knew that he had failed this audition.

However, not long after he returned home, he received a call from the crew, who gave Reagan an an address and asked him to go there to meet with a certain big man, which made Reagan overjoyed, quickly changed into his best clothes, packed up and hurried to the high-end hotel.

"Is that you?" Reagan thought that it would be Johnny Fang Tan waiting for him at the hotel, but he didn't expect it to be the one he met at the audition just now.

"Ronald, sit down, what do you want to drink? Red wine or champagne? By the way, you can call me Fredo! Shen Long asked Albert to help pour the wine and chatted with Reagan, and Albert went out after pouring the wine, leaving only the two of them in the study.

Shen Long was very clear about this person's situation, and specially picked up his favorite topics to chat, and the two quickly became acquainted, and after a while, Reagan couldn't help but ask, "Fredo, what do you think of my performance?" Can I pass the audition? ”

"Ronald." Shen Long shrugged, "Frankly speaking, you are not a good actor, your talent in this area is not outstanding, if you continue to be an actor, I am afraid that you can only be the protagonist of some small-scale movies for the rest of your life, it is difficult to develop much, and it is impossible to win an Oscar like Johnny." ”

Such blunt words made Reagan a little embarrassed, and he was vaguely aware of this, but it was one thing to be unceremoniously said to someone's face.

"But I think you have very broad prospects in another field, have you ever considered changing industries?" Shen Long changed his words and said.

"What? What industry do you want me to work in? Although Reagan still doesn't know the details of Shen Long, from the fact that he can afford to live in such a high-end hotel and make the crew respect him so much, Reagan can guess that this must be a real big man.

"No, no, no, it's not what industry I want you to work in, it's whether you want to do it or not." Shen Long shook his fingers, "Ronald, you are handsome and very popular with women; has been a live sports commentator, and his eloquence is very good; has been brave many times, has been on the front page of the newspaper, and has a very good reputation; During his time at school, he was the leader of many clubs and sports teams, and his leadership skills were quite outstanding; All of this means that if you are willing to go into politics, you will definitely be a great leader, and maybe even a governor or even a president in the future! ”

At the end of the speech, Shen Long stood up directly, opened his arms, and praised Reagan's political talent in an extremely exaggerated tone; Indeed, he would become governor of California and serve two terms as president, winning 49 of the country's 50 states in a landslide when he ran for re-election.

If he can establish a solid friendship with Reagan before he enters the political arena, he will definitely get high rewards in the future, so as soon as he saw this name, Shen Long immediately interrupted his work and invited him to the hotel.

"But, but, no one had ever told me about it before." Reagan was a little confused, I just came here to seek a supporting role, and you told me I could be president?

"It's hard for anyone to discover their true talent until they've come across a real opportunity." Shen Long patted Reagan on the shoulder and encouraged, "Since you are not successful as an actor now, why don't you give it a try?" ”

"Politics requires a lot of capital, and I don't have that." When Shen Long said this, Reagan remembered the years when he was in school, how wonderful it was to be a leader, but when he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that he did not have the conditions to enter politics at the moment, and in the United States, it costs a lot of money to play politics.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will give you support, my family has a certain influence on the major trade unions in Hollywood, if you want, I will push you to the position of chairman of the screen actors union within this year, so as to enter the political arena, and now the development of Hollywood is getting better and better, if you can do well in this position, you can accumulate a lot of political capital."

"After accumulating a certain amount of capital, I will use my resources in politics to help you enter the California Legislature and officially start your political career......" This is also Reagan's original political trajectory, and Shen Long believes that with his help, he can definitely do better.

"So, what do you get?" After experiencing the initial excitement, Reagan gradually calmed down, the other party gave so much, it was impossible not to reciprocate anything, "Also, who are you, I don't know anything about you now." ”

"No, no, Ronald, I'm not a businessman, all I want is friendship; It's no good for you to know too much about my situation now, you just need to understand that I don't have any bad intentions for you, in California, I have a good friendship with Senator Mr. XX, and in Hollywood, I am friends with Johnny Fong Tan as brothers......." Shen Long said some of his family's political resources, "If you want, I can take you to meet them tomorrow and introduce you to them." ”

"I need to think about it!" Reagan didn't make a decision right away, and Shen Long said he understood.

When he returned home, he listened to his wife, Jane Wyman, talk about his Hollywood scene, and then think about his current depressed situation, Reagan's ambitions began to ferment.

He didn't let Shen Long wait long, he found Shen Long on the third day and accepted his kindness, and Shen Long immediately began to arrange for him to enter the actors' union to take up important positions, paving the way for him to become the chairman; He also took him to meet some politicians and introduced Reagan to them.

After doing this, Shen Long and Johnny, who had recovered from surgery, took the crew on a cruise to Sicily.
