Now that he was discovered, Chen Jun didn't have the idea of hiding, and beckoned to respond.

Seeing this, Johnny said a few words to the short and stout director next to him, and ran over excitedly, and Vivien Leigh hesitated for half a second and walked over.

The two leading actors of the movie are gone, and Hitchcock has to keep up, and then the entire leading actors and producers of the film are following.

Among them, no one knows who the handsome young man is, and they are all secretly muttering and speculating, but those who can get ahead in Hollywood are not fools, and the two leading actors and the director have taken the initiative to talk about it, and it must be a big shot, especially the big star Johnny Fontan is also the producer of the film and is responsible for most of the investment in the film.

Hitchcock vaguely heard the big star Johnny Fontan talk about the source of the funds, and he could guess that the young man in front of him, with a moving demeanor, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and a mature charm, was the big benefactor.

Chen Jun didn't expect everyone to come, and after nodding to Johnny and Vivien Leigh, he shook hands with the director and other staff members behind him and simply got to know each other.

In fact, among all of them, Chen Jun is most interested in the great director Hitchcock.

This is a very awesome director, equivalent to the modern Spielberg + James Cameron, whether it is the number of personal directorial films, or the box office of each movie, it is basically guaranteed, and his various avant-garde film shooting techniques have had a great impact on later generations, and he belongs to the grandfather-level figure of suspense crime films.

He couldn't watch many of his films, among which the script for "Ecstasy" was written by him based on the films directed by Hitchcock in the later period.

But he doesn't have any mood swings, he has seen more historical figures in this era, and he is more interested in how much benefit this movie can bring him.

After chatting with each other for a while, the director and related personnel walked into their reserved room.

Europe and the United States don't have the habit of sharing tables, and they still come up when they see Chen Jun eating, but Johnny and Vivien Leigh are exceptions.

Johnny asked, "When did you come back?" ”

"Two months ago." Chen Jun said lightly.

"Why didn't you call me and tell me you were coming to Los Angeles?"

"I've been busy lately, so I've just arrived."

Johnny pursed his lips, secretly feeling that William's temperament had changed faintly compared to before.

This kind of temperament is awe-inspiring, as if it is just such a plain sitting, casually tasting the food, there is an inexplicable feeling that cannot be ignored.

Johnny felt that if he sat down with him for dinner, the waiter would immediately offer to hand it over to William, who was not famous, when the bill came in.

What happened to him that changed his temperament so much? Johnny was secretly speechless.

"William, thank you for choosing me."

At this time, Vivien Li smiled and thanked him.

"It's nothing, I just think your acting skills are suitable for that role."

Johnny and Vivien Leigh chatted for a while and left, this table can accommodate two people, not to mention that the original director and important crew members are still waiting for them, and the necessary etiquette must be taken care of, they know this well as old actors.

After they were gone, Marlena asked, "Who is she?" ”

"Johnny, a big Hollywood star, the old man's favorite godson, is also Sicilian." Chen Jun replied.

"You don't know, I said that beautiful actress?" Marlena turned her head sideways, "I don't see her eyes off you." ”

A woman's attention is always so keen, Chen Jun sighed in his heart, and then smiled, "Maybe I'm very handsome, and she has taken a fancy to me?" ”

Marlena didn't ask her about her identity, and quietly tasted the food, and Johnny came again halfway, saying that he was going to visit and discuss the film production and the company in the future.

After dinner, it was already raining moderately outside the restaurant.

The dripping rain was swept away by the cold wind, driving many rain-drenched pedestrians on the black streets to speed up their pace, and some of them held colorful newspapers over their heads, so that they could tell which newspaper they were readers of.

"Don't look at the rain, it's getting cold."

Like a drizzle of needles and drizzle, Chen Jun took off his black suit and put it on Marlena's body, and instructed the bodyguards: "Please go to the restaurant owner to buy a few umbrellas." ”

It's a pity that there is no silver umbrella in the mezzanine of the current Rolls-Royce car, and Chen Jun suddenly thought that otherwise his car might have to change to one.

When the bodyguard heard this, he was about to move, and a crisp and graceful voice came from behind, "We have a few more umbrellas here, take them, the weather in Los Angeles is always changeable." ”

Hitchcock's crew walked out, Vivien Leigh walked in front, handed over an umbrella, and chuckled, "Lend it to you, I hope you can return it." ”

The crew in the back turned a deaf ear, and when they didn't see anything, Chen Jun took it, answered, and walked to the car after the bodyguard also got the umbrella.

The driver drove to a suburban manor house in Los Angeles, which Chen Jun deliberately chose among the Corleone family's many luxury real estates, which are currently not as good as Beverly Hills, a gathering place for Hollywood stars and elites, but the price value is not low, and it is better to keep it secret.

The Corleone family's security system, along with the servants, butlers, etc., had been in place a month earlier, and when they entered the villa, Marlena was already surprised by the various extravagant decorations inside.

After getting familiar with the environment inside, he took the initiative to take over the work of the maid and took on Chen Jun's diet.

After drinking a cup of Malena's brewed flower tea, he entered his own private office, where there are a variety of books in the interior, as well as a wine cabinet, cigar cabinet, etc., which can be used as a private meeting room, and the overall style of the inside is also like a classical Western-style office in the movie, dim, dark, and the mottled traces of books are full of historical atmosphere.

Chen Jun quickly got into the working state, and the task waiting for him was not easy.

First of all, it deals with the transfer of various assets sold in New York, such as shares of the New York Liquor Company, real estate buildings, chain hotels, etc., and dark businesses such as horse racing and betting, high-value loans, sports betting, etc.

These assets, totaling nearly 100 million US dollars, will be transferred to several banks controlled by the old godfather, transferred to financial securities companies controlled by Wall Street, and finally returned to Los Angeles and Las Vegas, both in the west.

Half of the funds are spent on the old godfather's layout in Las Vegas, which has already completed most of the hotel chain business, legal gambling, etc., which is supervised and opened up by Tom Hagan, and half of the funds are used for film, television and radio media production in Los Angeles.

A small amount of money will also be spent on the pharmaceutical companies Tom Hagen has acquired and to cover the costs of developing new drugs.

The relocation of the Corleone family's focus to the west is not a small project, but fortunately, the old godfather has excellent connections in financial law, and the holding companies under his command have professional elite talents, so he does not need to worry about specific affairs.

In addition, the above is only a small part of the work, Chen Jun still has to do a lot, the performance of the banks and Wall Street financial securities companies controlled by the godfather holdings, etc., these are better assets than what real estate, the end of World War II, the national economy took off, and the economic and financial aspects are on a rocket, as long as there are no big mistakes, you can collect money while lying down.

What else to do is to regularly connect with major top law firms, various business reports, and build a good relationship on a regular basis.

These days, Chen Jun is often in a busy state of work, sometimes inspecting the work progress of DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and installing professional financial management and personnel management for them, which is an indispensable procedure, in addition to shares, major operational decisions, financial management, and personnel management, these powers must be grasped in hand, otherwise what is his company?

It's just that he didn't expect Johnny Fontan's visit to come so early a week later.

Marlena looked at the office door that was gradually closing, and she knew that during this time, all kinds of people would often enter the office.

She hadn't been in, even if she could have done it if she wanted to.

"Your movie show is over?"

Chen Jun bent down and poured Johnny a glass of Scotch whisky, the amber color revealing the sweetness of the spirit.

"It's almost there."

Johnny got up and took his glass, and caught a casual glance at the chair across from the desk, and he breathed a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't sat down in the chair to talk to him.

He still treats him the same way he did before.

No!

Johnny immediately killed the thought of himself, he was no longer the William he used to be, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

These days, he doesn't understand where the momentum that can influence people and suppress him comes from.

Three days ago, he called Tom Hagen to ask him why, the godfather chose to abdicate, and the Corleone empire is now helmed by William.

He was dissatisfied with why Hagen and the Corleone family hadn't told him earlier.

Hagen replied indifferently, "That was the godfather's decision. ”

Johnny didn't understand why the godfather didn't reveal the news to him earlier, he had secretly speculated about his thoughts, and understood it from the perspective of good intentions, and after three days of struggle, he finally chose to visit William.

The godfather had promised him that he could be a power man in Hollywood, not just a star, like Waltz, the movie mogul who controlled his destiny.

Johnny Orchid pinched the wine glass like a finger, his eyes glanced slightly, as an actor, he is very good at analyzing the psychology and temperament of characters.

William leaned back easily on the sofa chair, rested his feet on his knees, and put his hands on his sides, with an antique bookshelf behind him and whiskey next to him, in a very casual attitude towards his friends.

Johnny took a small sip of his wine and sat upright in his heart, sagging slightly on the surface.

Even though William was relaxed and relaxed, he still felt that a sense of manipulation was affecting him at all times, exuding a faint charm and temperament on him, which made his big star aura collapse in an instant.

What is it?

Power!

A man can be without money, but he must not be without power!

Money and power are both interconnected, but also very different, sometimes money comes and power comes, but money and power will be dominated by a higher level of power.

William's power is different from the ordinary taste of wealth accumulation, it is a kind of demonic red, extreme black, and bright white, exuding a special charm.

This charm will make the woman intoxicated and take the initiative to climb into his bed.

This kind of charm can make men covet and fear, like facing predators at the top of the food chain in noble suits in a world of the jungle.

This desire for power is the primitive animal nature of man.

He!

William. Corleone, it only takes a gesture to make someone else's net worth difficult to protect; It only takes a smile to turn a fight into a jade silk.

He controls the fate of many people, including him.

Johnny knew that the relationship between the two might be friends in the future, but he was also a subordinate, and he needed to be allegiance.

He immediately understood the godfather's intentions.
