There is something in the afternoon, two chapters in one, four thousand words.

..............

Two and a half months later.

Zhu Yourong raised his head and saw a huge poster under the neon billboard opposite, telling everyone that the Godfather movie will be released today.

Ah, accidentally, two and a half months have passed, and Shen Yu is still alive and kicking.

Shen Yu's net worth is innocent!

This is an important statement that needs to be mentioned again.

He has been in Los Angeles alone for three years, and in three years, he is no different from an ordinary dream-chasing boy, working hard, not prostituting or gambling, having no criminal record, and even saving people twice in the name of justice.

Zhu Yourong hit Tianyitang and no one said anything, but if he suppressed Shen Yu, it would be very troublesome.

Such a person rose up to the last afterglow of Tianyitang - in Zhu Yourong's eyes, Shen Yu's ability to attract funds or something was likely to be Tianyitang's previous relationships, and the emergence of these relationships also gave Zhu Yourong a little headache.

Singles don't fight ninety-nine plus one, now the heroes and strong people everywhere, who doesn't commit some crimes? Many people let their children go to different fields, or become scholars, lawyers, musicians, etc., because they are afraid that if something happens, there will be a lineage that will be passed on.

For example, the son of the new godfather in the godfather is not involved in the family business at all, so later, no matter how much he tosses, no one seeks revenge from the godfather's own son.

You can legally and reasonably even use despicable means to kill Haoqiang, including using improper means to send people in and shoot them, and people will admit it, anyway, the officials will crush people to death, nothing, but if you want to behead all over the house, even innocent children will not be spared, then don't blame people for resisting desperately.

This is a big taboo, which is why Wu Yuanyuan asked Zhu Yourong not to make trouble.

Even if it's royalty...... On the contrary, people are more determined to make you unable to ascend to the position, and even irrelevant people will unite to crush you.

What's more, Shen Yu is very reasonable, he just scolded you twice, and he didn't find someone to assassinate or anything, what else do you want?

From that moment on, Zhu Yourong understood that he only had two paths to go now.

First, let people kill Shen Yu.

Second, this matter will be forgotten for the time being, and we will wait for Shen Yu to reveal his flaws.

The more you entangle, the more points you lose, and there will even be new funds coming in to support Shen Yu to make a film and use it to slap the royal family in the face.

Zhu Yourong instructed people to keep an eye on Shen Yu's every move at any time.

He was not a perfect saint, and he already remembered Shen Yu very well in his heart.

Then, he put the matter behind him, returned to the East Coast, rose to the next level, devoted himself to fighting criminals, and was busy for two and a half months, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the poster posted there.

"Boss, is this movie out? It's only been a few days since the book was published? ”

A police officer was a little surprised and said that three months ago, the Godfather book was released in the United States and became a bestseller, and many police officers also bought the book, and the reviews were very good after reading it.

I really want to meet such a godfather, give money refreshingly, have no sequelae and know how to advance and retreat, everyone makes a fortune together, instead of cheating on each other.

It is said that some community organizations have also reorganized their organizations according to some of the contents of this book, and have set up military divisions, action teams, and so on.

"Well, it's a little soon, let's go check it out tonight."

Zhu Yourong nodded, and there was no trace of anger on his face.

How can it not be fast? Among Shen Yu's investors, there are judges, channel dealers, policemen, and second generations, how can these people be slow when they combine to pave the way for a movie in advance?

It's fun and hopefully a good movie.

Three hours later, Zhu Yourong and a few policemen walked out, looking at their excitement and enjoyment, Zhu Yourong suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Although he also had to admit that Shen Yu was a very talented young man, all this was too unpleasant.

"Head, shall we look at it again?"

A member of the team said.

"Phew, what a garbage movie, let's go!"

……

Three days later, Seattle, USA.

Zhen Qiqi and several companions, dressed in pajamas, chatted in the hotel suite.

Tourists in the Ming Dynasty generally choose to travel to Southeast Asia, or Borneo, or Dongying, these places have been influenced by the Ming civilization, and various service industries are very developed.

Or go to Europe, which is another civilization center outside the Ming Dynasty, and stroll through it, you can see the vicissitudes of history.

There are relatively few people who come to the United States, and everyone has the impression that the United States is a backward agricultural country, and it takes a long time to take a plane, and the price of air tickets is not cheap.

Zhen Qiqi doesn't care about this small amount of money, as a small owner who runs a bookstore, Zhen Qiqi and a few friends have no worries about food and clothing, and what they like most is to hang out around the world, and the American continent is their first time here, and they feel okay.

It's that the degree of prosperity is really much worse than Daming, fortunately, some industries are good, but Zhen Qiqi and others didn't choose that, several of them have long passed their youth and feel that women are too troublesome.

"Hey, Lao Li, what book are you reading?"

The high-end hotel costs eighty dollars a night, the rooms are large, and there are display cases with some travel products, as well as some books and comics.

Everyone sits here at night, reading books and chatting.

Zhen Qiqi likes Batman's comics very much, and this time he came over to buy a few more sets.

"I'm reading this book, Godfather."

Lao Li held up the book, and there were two plaintext words on it. The official language of the United States is plaintext and English, and many books are available in two versions.

"It's a really good book, it's fun."

Lao Li was obviously immersed in it, said a few words, and continued to read.

"Looks like this book is really good."

Zhen Qiqi became interested, so he rang the doorbell and asked the waiter to bring a few more books.

The waiter quickly delivered the book and told everyone that the movie adapted from the book was being released, and if you wanted to see it, the hotel could book tickets on your behalf.

"Booking a ticket?"

Zhen Qileng paused.

"Well, the Godfather's book, which has been popular all over the country in the past few months, is being watched by many people, and the adapted movie has also aroused everyone's interest, the movie was released four days ago, many people have gone to see it, and I recommend it to everyone after reading it, one pass ten to ten hundred times, and now it has reached a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket, and if a few gentlemen go now, it is likely that they will not be able to buy tickets, so it is best to book first."

"Huh? You guys have a phenomenal movie here, too? ”

It was Lao Li who spoke, not only loves to read, but is also a veteran movie lover.

"What is a phenomenal movie?"

The waiter didn't understand what Lao Li meant, so after Lao Li explained it to him, he understood.

"Ah, yes, the Godfather movie is really good, Ah Le went to watch it every day for the past few days, and said it was just great.

I also watched it once, not only is it good-looking, but also sufficient (unlike later generations, many people don't like long movies, in the early days, when everyone in many countries watched movies, they felt that the longer the more worthwhile)

The service danced and told everyone about the goodness of the Godfather movie, which made several people also very interested.

"Okay, please book five tickets, thank you."

Zhen Qiqi stuffed a few bills into the waiter's pocket and said.

"Well, perhaps, the movies of this country can give us a little surprise."

He said this, and several of his companions laughed as well.

Movies are the pearls of industry and culture, small countries and backward countries can't afford to play at all, although the United States is okay, but the quality of the film is like that, everyone has seen the crude movies in the United States, which are more than one grade worse than Daming movies, as for the service, everyone just thinks that maybe the appreciation level of people here is relatively low, as for anything else, then don't have too many expectations.

However, that night, after reading the book, everyone's expectations suddenly increased.

The Godfather book is really well written, but I don't know how the director will shoot it.

By the way, I heard that the director and the author are the same person, so it's good, at least you will understand the work, and there will be no adaptation of the work without reading the original work.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, five people came to the movie theater, and they found that there was already a long queue outside, and many people were waiting and talking about the good of the movie.

Among them, several people who have watched it once spontaneously introduced the movie to everyone, and their voices are a little strange, and the vague taste is heard from them that it is the gesture of the protagonist speaking.

Zhen inspired the five people, without talking to the people around them, and entered the cinema, which was already full, the old-fashioned movie chair made of wood and iron was not very comfortable to sit on, and the facilities in the cinema were not very good, but all this, when the movie started, everything was no longer there.

What a monster this movie!

In this movie, everyone trembles all over the body, and there is a tremor from the soul!

Zhen Qiqi and the other five people thought that this foreign movie would make them unable to understand some customs, but they didn't expect that they saw the best movie in their lives.

At the moment.

Even after many years, Zhen Qiqi believes that The Godfather is the best movie he has ever seen.

Although Director Shen later made a lot of movies, and achieved an unprecedented miracle in the history of human culture, beyond the edge of human fantasy, the Tower of Babylon towered on the earth, straight into the sky, but he still can't forget the shock of tonight.

I like the godfather the most, and I like the ...... more

yes, what a good movie.

"I heard it was only filmed for 45 days?"

Someone asked suspiciously.

No one knows that behind this version of the godfather, there is a god-level master of remakes.

After three years in Hollywood, Shen Yu met a lot of actors and watched a lot of movies.

After the godfather of another time and space was filmed, it was interpreted by countless people, including the original director, some big directors, etc., and they also put forward some suggestions for improvement, some better suggestions, and these were also absorbed by the big teacher and made some improvements in the details.

Forty-four days, with everyone feeling the speed of God, the movie was completed.

Many people shouted that it was an impossible miracle and expressed great concern about the quality of the movie, but when they walked into the cinema, they were all shocked.

In another time and space, even in 2022, there are people who insist that the footage and dialogue of the godfather are still unsurpassed!

It's a masterpiece, it's a monument.

This is a man's movie, especially the performance of the old godfather Johnson, which is elegant, furious, calm, and cruel, like a tiger sniffing a rose.

"Let me make a condition you can't refuse"

In contempt, with the cruelty of a man.

"A man who doesn't spend a lot of time with his family will never be a real man."

Gentleness is a lifetime of persistence.

The movie lasted for three hours, but the audience didn't think it was long at all, especially Zhen Qiqi's five people, and it was very enjoyable to watch.

They are all cultural people and have a higher level of appreciation, but no matter which aspect you look at, they all think that this movie is really good.

Absolutely hang the Ming Dynasty and those serious black. Help.

"I don't know Daming, when will it be introduced?"

The five of them looked at each other and had the idea.

For a long time, it was the Ming movie that landed in the United States and killed the worst, but this time, there may be the opposite result.

"But how about we come back tomorrow and watch it again?"

Zhen Qi's proposal attracted everyone's approval.

It's a really good movie, I really want this film to be released in Daming, I believe that the compatriots over there will like it very much.

……

Twelve days later.

In a small screening room, a group of people sat in it.

The Godfather is playing on the screen, and most of the people here have actually seen the movie.

They are the first batch of investors attracted by Shen Yu, and today two weeks after the movie was released, Shen Yu invited everyone to come and get together.

No one will refuse Shen Yu's invitation, just like no one can suppress the joy in their hearts - as soon as the movie was released, it quickly became a hit, although it has not yet become the top of the box office list, but next week, or next week, more screens will be released, there will definitely be a chance.

At present, it is estimated that the return on the investment of 500,000 yuan per person will be at least 1.5 million yuan in the next two or three years, and there will be a trickle of water behind, and it will even last for twenty or thirty years - movies will be released on videotapes, will be sent to the screen many times, etc., these are all long-term benefits.

The film is almost three hours long, but no one expresses impatience.

On the contrary, everyone calmed down and came to enjoy this masterpiece again.

Most of these people who were co-opted by Shen Yu were born from the grassroots, or family property obtained through hard work, and they also encountered many difficulties and obstacles in their daily lives, as well as people with good character.

Familiar images passed by everyone's eyes, the old godfather, his men, Mike, Hagen...... They make up this outstanding film.

In the final scene of the movie, the young godfather sits in a chair and accepts the allegiance of those below.

And everyone turned around and looked at Shen Yu, who was sitting in the last row of the screening hall and hid his body in the dark, as if they saw the birth of a new godfather.

It's not a club, but an empire founded by a film genius, and it has a prototype.

Cinema is the brightest jewel in the crown of art.

Shen Yu said that the three-month movie shooting was completed, and everyone was prepared for the postponement.

This is not that kind of song and dance movie, but a group portrait movie, and there must be something messy or even unexpected happening.

It is normal for many things such as fires on the set, miscarriages of actors, car accidents, unclear accounts, etc., but the director who made the film for the first time delivered a perfect result in 45 days.

Then the following editing and so on were also completed by Shen Yu, and he only took eleven days to complete all this.

It was as if everything had taken shape in his mind.

The only thing that makes everyone dissatisfied is that the publicity time is a bit short, but fortunately, everyone can understand Director Shen's neuroticism, he offended Zhu Yourong and needs to be famous to make himself feel safe.

Then, the film quickly became a hit, and it is likely to be released for a long time.

Everyone is not from the film and television industry, but they are shocked.

After the release of the Godfather movie, many people in the film industry, including the director, are shouting incredible, they said that the normal shooting time of this movie should be about a year, and there will be many problems in the middle, and the production cost will be at least more than 10 million, and it is difficult to make it so perfect.

This is the most brilliant jewel in the crown of art.
