Chapter 120 Oscar Award

Johnny Fontan rushed to the airport early in the morning. He slept at his ex-wife's house last night. Whenever he felt down or tired, he would return to this safe haven. Every time he thought about it, he regretted that he had Why go crazy and marry a Hollywood slut who messed up his life.

The news of the arrival of the flight came from the radio at the airport. Johnny asked his driver to pick up Shen Long at the exit. Shen Long specially told him in advance. He is a big star. It's not a good meeting; it's fine at home in Long Beach, New York, where there aren't many journalists, and it's not the same at LAX.

"Hi, Fredo, last time you left in a hurry, I will take you to have fun this time." Johnny shouted affectionately, he was very grateful to Shen Long.

"Johnny, let's talk about the fun after a while. I have something very important to tell you this time." Shen Long asked the driver to start the car. Talk about those Hollywood female stars.

Back at Johnny Fontan's home in Beverly Hills, Shen Long and him entered the study alone, while Willy Chichi stayed in the living room with Johnny's black housekeeper.

"Thank you, Johnny, how did the movie go?" Shen Long asked after taking the wine glass from Johnny Fontan.

"The filming is over, and the manager is very kind to me." Johnny Fontan thought Shen Long was worried that Woltz would mess with the film editing, "The shots I participated in were very important, and the editor couldn't Throw those shots away, and if that's the case, Woltz's money will be wasted."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Long shook his head, "I remember you said before that this film can bring you not only a little salary, but more importantly, this role will enhance your status in Hollywood."

"Yes, this role is very good, and my performance is also very good. I think I am very hopeful to win the Academy Award this year. Once I win the Academy Award, I will be popular for another ten years." Johnny Fontan is 30 years old. Five years old and in transition, he's desperate for this year's Academy Awards.

The Academy Award is the Oscar Award. This award was proposed by Mayer, the king of Hollywood, in 1929. It has a history of sixteen years and has now become the most important award in the film industry.

Shen Long shrugged, "According to the information I have received so far, your chances of winning the prize are slim."

Johnny Fontan was a little angry. He thought that Shen Long underestimated his acting skills, "What are you talking about? The film hasn't started editing yet, and it hasn't even been released yet. You traveled across the United States just to tell me this? "

"Johnny, I'm just worried about your future. The godfather feels that you need his help; Johnny, you can't always think of yourself as a singer or movie star, you need to think about your future." Shen Long remembered what the godfather said , if you want to give the other party a favor, then you have to let him know the value of the favor.

"If I don't win an award this time, then I'm screwed. My voice is bad and I can't sing like before; why do you think I can't win an award?" Johnny realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Woltz doesn't want you to win an award, and he won't spend money to help you publicize." The Oscars are not just about signing up, but also need to spend money on publicizing members with voting rights. All the voters are telling you to keep them from voting for you, and he's even planning to pay another candidate to win; your film might win a lot of Oscars, but it won't have your Best Actor main character."

Depressedly, Johnny poured himself a glass of whiskey, drank it down, and shrugged, "This is the end for me." Without this Oscar, his future will look very bleak.

He cried with tears, and angrily threw the wine glass against the wall,

But the movement was weak, and the thick wine glass fell to the floor and rolled back towards him. Johnny looked at the glass dully, and then laughed out of nowhere. The news broke him.

He began to babble about his past, about his stupid divorce, which made the godfather very angry, and he didn't answer his phone for a while, and he didn't see him when he arrived in New York. Johnny began to admit his mistake sincerely.

Shen Long was quite moved by his words for a time, no wonder the godfather likes this guy, Johnny still has some reputation.

"Forget about the past, I came here this time to help you win the award; can you allow the godfather to tolerate his godson being bullied by Woltz? The godfather is much more influential than Woltz, he controls every important thing in Hollywood. Labor unions, which affect the bigwigs who control the film industry, let alone a few members of the academy with voting rights."

Shen Long patted Johnny on the shoulder hard, "He won't point a gun at those people's heads to make them vote, he will persuade these people to vote for you willingly, but you have to live up to it, if you don't live up to it, we will vote again It's useless no matter how hard you try."

Johnny wiped away his tears and turned his worries into joy. Yes, the godfather is standing behind me. As long as he is willing, I can get an Oscar.

"Fredo, don't worry, I will do my best to cooperate." Once he wins the Oscar, Johnny's future will be guaranteed, and he can let his beloved daughter live a better life. The little angel is his most precious treasure now.

"That's good. I'll stay in Hollywood for a while and help you with this matter." Shen Long smiled. This is much better than straight-to-the-point saying that he will help him get the statuette. If so, Johnny is not so gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Fredo, I'll call the godfather later to express my thanks." Johnny said gratefully.

"But the godfather thinks that just winning an award can't completely solve your problem. It would be great if you can have your own studio, but the premise is whether you have the brains and courage." Shen Long said about the second Things, it sounds like they are still thinking about Johnny.

"It's a good idea, I'm not short of brains and guts, but it's not easy to set up a studio, it takes a lot of money, and no bank will give me a loan, Fredo, to make a film The funds needed are in the millions of dollars." Although Johnny is a big star, the money he earned before was either given to his ex-wife or spent in a feast of wine, but there is not so much money.

That's what I'm here for.
