Chapter 408 The Old Man's Terrifying Background!
"Filming has wrapped, but why don't I feel happy?"

"I feel the same way, it's like I've lost something."

"Yes, we'll never get to enjoy free fruit and snacks again."

"That sweet cherry flavor will no longer be with me!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

"..."

So they're just here to freeload!
Zhou Yang smiled, then announced loudly, "Tonight, let's all dine at the Emperor Hotel in Chinatown. It's on me, so eat to your heart's content!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's invitation, the previously uneasy staff members immediately became excited.

"Brother Yang is so generous! Thank you!"

"That's what you call generous! Zhou Yang is so domineering!"

At the end of the dinner, Zhou Yang specially invited Situ Zhenghua over and thanked him for his support. Without Situ Zhenghua's support, "The Godfather" might not have been able to wrap up filming.

Everyone took a group photo to commemorate the occasion.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Yang posted a group photo on Weibo with the following text: "After two months of hard work, 'The Godfather' has finally wrapped up filming! This movie, which I wrote, directed, and starred in, will definitely not disappoint the audience! Special thanks to Mr. Situ for his support! I am extremely grateful! #movie#"

Wow! Filming wrapped up so quickly!

"The Godfather? That sounds intriguing! I can't wait to see it!"

"Hey, Brother Yang isn't in the center position, who's that old man?"

"My God! Situ Zhenghua! That's the leader of the American Hongmen, the current boss!"

"Haha, it's the 21st century, and the Hongmen still exists? I'm from the Yanzhaomen! Old man, shut up!"

"Friends upstairs, please search for the Hongmen yourself. Be careful what you do for the rest of your life!"

"You're the one who should know what I'm doing! I'm a big shot in the underworld! Come on, come and chop me up, you bastard!"

Netizens' attention shifted to Situ Zhenghua, who was in the center position.

Soon, the media began to expose Situ Zhenghua and the Hongmen he represented.

Netizens then learned that this old man was no ordinary person, but the contemporary leader of the Hongmen and the head of the Situ family.

His grandfather, Situ Huatang, was an even more legendary figure. When he had nothing in the United States, he led the Chinese in Chinatown to fight against the five major Mafia families, creating a criminal empire and becoming the godfather of his time!
Even the famous U.S. President Robert Redfield, who was known for his disability, served as his legal advisor. During the War of Resistance against Japan, Redfield generously donated a large amount of supplies, making a significant contribution to China.

Situ Huatang was one of the key figures in the founding of the Chinese nation!

He also witnessed the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China and was eventually laid to rest in Babaoshan Cemetery!
Netizens then realized that this old gentleman was no ordinary person!

The trolls who had previously insulted Situ Zhenghua were so frightened by this powerful background that they quickly deleted their Weibo accounts.

Netizens flooded the comments section with mockery of the troll.

"Haha, your mouth stinks! Your whole family should go to the crematorium!"

"Sigh, has it really been cut down?"

"How dare he insult Lian Aiguo, that old man! His mouth is truly foul; he deserves to be chopped up!"

"This guy probably chickened out. How dare a mere internet troll argue with such a big shot?!"

"But Brother Yang is amazing, he's on such good terms with such a big shot!"

"Is the movie Yang Ge directed, 'The Godfather,' based on this story?"

Wow! If it's true, that would be amazing!

"I'm getting more and more excited!"

Early the next morning, Zhou Yang and his crew took a plane back to China.

After getting off the plane, he turned on his phone and found that everyone on Weibo was discussing the Hongmen and "The Godfather".

Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that a single photo could bring such high exposure to "The Godfather." "Looks like I'll have to thank the old gentleman properly next time and give him a bottle of 82 Moutai," Zhou Yang thought to himself.

Upon returning to Shanghai, Zhou Yang immediately threw himself into the post-production and editing of the film.

In a great film, every aspect—from filming and production to editing—is crucial, directly impacting the quality of the final product.

Zhou Yang's team was efficient and professional, completing the entire post-production work in less than a week.

The promotional campaign for "The Godfather" has officially begun.

The first image revealed is a promotional poster for "The Godfather," featuring only a weathered old man with a profound expression and sharp gaze fixed ahead.

This promotional poster alone has sparked heated discussions among fans.

"This old man is amazing! Could he be Brother Yang?!"

"It looks somewhat similar, yet not quite; the makeup technique is absolutely stunning!"

"Indeed, he looks like an old man!"

"His eyes were absolutely terrifying!"

"He has the aura of a mob boss! Just looking into his eyes sends chills down my spine!"

"I think Brother Yang will definitely lead a new trend in gangster movies!"

"I hope the movie is released soon! I can't wait!"

……

Zhou Yang embarked on a global promotional tour with the film crew.

When Zhou Yang appeared abroad with Hu Jintao and Xu Shan, foreign journalists were full of curiosity about the two Chinese faces beside Zhou Yang.

One reporter couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. Zhou, why did you choose two relatively unknown Chinese actors to participate in this film?"

"Hehe, these actors are no nobodys. Their domestic fame is no less than mine, and their acting skills are comparable. You'll be amazed when the movie is released!"

Her acting skills are on par with Zhou Yang's?!

Foreign journalists were astonished, finding them to be as talented as Zhou Yang; these two Chinese artists were truly prodigies!

Zhou Yang's humble remark sparked controversy among Hu Xijin and Xu Shan, but won the favor of foreign reporters, who then bombarded him with questions during the subsequent interview.

The following day, many foreign entertainment websites reported on the interviews with Hu Jintao and Xu Shanzheng, which earned the two a little international fame.

Of course, this was Zhou Yang's intention, dedicated to promoting more Chinese actors to the international stage, and his contribution to the dissemination of Chinese film and television culture is undeniable.

However, this move also prompted Xu Shanzheng and Lao Hu to reflect, as Zhou Yang's influence abroad far exceeded expectations.

"Xia, your reputation abroad far surpasses that at home. You're amazing!" Xu Shanzheng exclaimed.

Old Hu chimed in, "What defines an international superstar? This is an international superstar!"

Meanwhile, the trailer for "The Godfather" was released, featuring a mix of assassinations in cars, street shootouts, and explosions, with editing showcasing its explosive nature!

This movie has a truly extraordinary style!
The movie was thrilling, especially for domestic moviegoers who haven't seen such stunning visuals in a long time.

"Absolutely stunning!"

"Brother Yang's performance this time was truly outstanding! The censorship was really lenient!"

"Haha, it seems like Brother Yang has someone backing him up."

"At first I thought it would be a dull art film, but it turned out to be so exciting! I definitely have to buy a ticket to support it!"

"Me too, I think it's really useful information, I must support it!"

"..."
