All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

"From the moment I saw you, I knew what you were planning, so it should be a very wise decision to treat you as a family."

Russell was speechless. Originally, he didn't intend to deceive Vito. After all, as long as he went to Sicily to inquire about the drama he directed, it would be easy to be exposed.

As for the reason?It's very simple, because Russell Corleone's name is basically a household name in Sicily, and people know what kind of character the godfather is.

But now, in Vito's house, it has turned into another face. How can one believe this?

It's okay to fool a fool, but you need to fill in a little gap if you want to fool a smart person.

But Russell didn't bother to sew, and that was enough.

"Uncle Vito, thank you for saving face."

"I also thank you for your face."

There was nothing wrong with two people of equal status respecting each other. At this time, Tom also nodded secretly. It seemed that the doubts in his heart just now had been revealed at this moment.

Vito and Russell walked side by side, and the others followed.

When they came to the courtyard, Mrs. Vito and Marlena were also there. They just pulled their men and stood in the group photo area.

"Mike!"

Vito waved hello.

Mike walked over, thought for a while, then turned back and pulled his girlfriend Kai over.

It can be seen from this that he also has a strong family concept and cares about his family members very much.

"Mike is my youngest son, have you seen him?"

"No."

Hearing Russell's answer, Vito turned to look at Sonny, and Sonny touched his nose to express his embarrassment.Just now he was busy with his bridesmaid Lucy upstairs, otherwise the conflict between Russell and Basini would not have expanded.

Vito didn't speak, but looked at the camera.

The screen freezes.

After the end, Vito greeted Russell again: "Let's take a picture alone."

"Ok."

After the filming, Vito whispered: "The news you gave was very timely, and I accept your favor."

"What news? Uncle Vito."

Vito turned his head and looked at him, "Since you first came to the house and beat up the FBI agent at the door, right? Or since Tom sent you the invitation letter?"

Russell smiled and said, "I don't understand what you said."

"Okay, let's talk about something understandable. You want to help me win in the chaos that follows, don't you?"

"Uncle Vito, I still don't understand the topic you're talking about."

Vito shook his head slightly: "It's boring to pretend like this."

"Mike! Come on."

Vito called Mike over and introduced, "This is Russell. According to his age, he is your brother. He is the son of my Sicilian friend. That friend saved my life."

Mike nodded indifferently, "Hi, I'm Mike, thank you for saving my father's life."

"Russell Corleone, you're welcome."

Mike was startled when he heard the surname, turned his head to glance at Vito, and saw his father nodding before looking directly at Russell.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Russell said with a smile: "I also say it from the bottom of my heart, so you don't have to be polite."

Mike's character is not born, but is influenced by the surrounding environment. He is eager to change the status quo of the family in his own way, but the general environment does not allow anyone to make changes.

In other words, if this is a game, then developers and maintainers are setting the rules of the game, and people living in the game must abide by the rules of the game, otherwise there will be loopholes, and then the maintainers will have to wield the butcher knife clear...

Mike has the idea of ​​changing the family, and of course Vito does too!

Therefore, in recent years, under his leadership, the family has gradually faded out of horse racing and private lottery... Instead, they began to hoard a large amount of real estate, participating in the shares of two securities companies, three fashion centers and two banks in Long Island.

Vito is also trying to clean up his crimes and hand over a clean estate to the next helm of the family, but it will take time...

From the conversation between Vito and Russell just now, it can be seen that he has already figured out why Russell did this. From Vito's perspective, he must think that Russell has some very secret things, but he is unwilling and inconvenient to say Come out, only a little guide, to remind Vito to pay attention.

So Vito accepted his love.

In the courtyard, due to the Sicilian tradition, when marrying a daughter, as the parents of the parents, they should say some words of advice to the daughter, but these words cannot be said seriously, but must be sung in front of everyone.

Marlena is someone who has experienced it. After Mrs. Vito was dragged onto the stage, she was also brought onto the stage. She sang a few lines in front of dozens of people, and Mrs. Vito also sang a few lines, but it was too explicit. The lyrics couldn't be sung, so Vito's former military officer, Co Abbanido, had to do it for him.

This old guy doesn't care so much, what lyrics he sings or whatever, anyway, it's the elders' blessings and instructions to the children, so there's nothing embarrassing about singing.

The guests at the singing scene were enthusiastic, as if there was a Molotov cocktail hidden in their chests and stomachs, and something would happen if they were not watered to extinguish it!

Sure enough, Sonny couldn't bear it first, and under the watchful eyes of his wife, he walked up to the second floor of the villa with his bridesmaid Lucy.

Sandra turned her head and bit her lips, and was carefully watched by Marlena.

She whispered to Russell next to her, "Sandra seems to know about Sonny and Lucy."

"Well, you can comfort me later."

"Okay, what do I need to pay attention to?"

"Just don't mention Sonny and Lucy, talk about whatever."

Marina nodded.

Laughing and boisterous in the courtyard, while upstairs in the villa is full of gunfire, Vito in the study downstairs, reminded by Tom, received Luca Brasi.

Vito was a little reluctant at first, because it was really tiring to get along with such a monster. Every time he saw Luca, Vito used all his energy to deal with it, for fear that he might not notice a certain detail and detonate the bomb.

After Vito listened carefully to Luca's congratulatory speech, he asked Tom to send him away in person as he would his confidant.

After Tom came back, Vito put down the sweater and asked, "Did Russell leave?"

"No, he's drinking in the courtyard with Sonny, Clemenza, Tessio, and Freddie."

Vito sat down and stroked his chin beard, and said, "Invite him to the study, let's continue chatting."

"Godfather, what is he really planning? Is it good or bad for us?"

Vito shook his head: "I don't know what he is planning, but I can be sure that he has no malice against us."

"Ok."

Tom turned away from the study and found a group of people drinking and having fun in the courtyard.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Tom invited Russell to the study in public, and the excuse was naturally that Vito's wine worm had recovered from hibernation...

study,

After Russell walked in, he saw Vito sitting on the sofa against the wall, with a bottle of red wine and two goblets on the table.

Tom went out sharply and closed the door behind him.

At the moment, there are only two people in the study.

"Please sit down."

"Uncle Vito, what is this?"

"Let's talk heart to heart."

Russell looked at his expression and blinked playfully, as if he was acting like a baby when facing an elder.

"You remind me of Mike when he was a child, when he fell in love with a toy, and he winked at me like that."

Russell didn't speak, walked to him and sat down.

"I plan to save the duke black pearl you gave me for my birthday. Now we drink French ones."

Seeing that he still didn't talk to him, Vito knew that he didn't want to pretend anymore.

Fill the glass with wine, put down the glass, sit up straight and look at him, and said, "How do you deal with Basini's revenge? I think he will attack you on the way you must go home."

Russell took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and said indifferently: "If he dares to do this, it will be his death!"

"...Russell, Russell Corleone, this is who you really are."

Vito was a little dazed. He didn't expect that Russell had changed so much before and after. One second he was still modestly pretending to be a junior, and the next second he became a ruthless godfather!

This made Vito, who never pretended, couldn't accept it for a while.

"Uncle Vito, I was just doing it for others to see, I never thought of pretending to be in front of you."

"Since when?"

"Probably Tom came to my peninsula estate."

"You did deceive me for a moment, but I know about you in Sicily..."

"I said that I never wanted to deceive you. We are a family with the same surname."

Vito looked up into his eyes, reached for the glass and lifted it.

"For the family."

"For the family."

Clink glasses and drink up.

"So, you counted everyone in the wedding scene."

Russell shook his head: "Not including Corleone."

"Yes, so what are you going to do next?"

"I can't tell at the moment, but Solaso ​​has come to New York, and he will definitely find cooperation with various families in New York."

"Sell sea hemp?"

"Yes."

Vito shook his head: "I won't cooperate."

"Of course, Solaso ​​and his partners will all die, but you, as the tyrannical family in New York, will definitely be involved, otherwise the other four families will not be able to sleep well."

"So what's your suggestion?"

Russell shook his head: "My suggestion is not important, but your thoughts are important. At present, the impression I left on the New York family is a very impulsive, arrogant, arrogant young man..."

Vito understood what he meant.

"So, except for the Bucchio family, the rest of the people regard you as my nephew who really comes from Sicily."

"Yes."

The two chatted for a long time in the study, during which they talked about the current situation of the Buccio family, the Tattaglia family, and the Basini family.

Russell made an analysis according to his own habits, and both he and Vito believed that apart from Bucchio and Corleone, the remaining three families might cooperate with Solaso.

Among them, Tataglia and Basini are the most suspected.

"It's very comfortable chatting with you like this."

Russell said with a smile: "It seems that Uncle Vito lacks the company of his family."

"No, I mean it's comfortable talking to someone like you, not you who I call my uncle."

"Although it's awkward, I'll take it as a compliment."

In the afternoon, the bride Connie and the groom Carlo left Corleone's house and returned to their residence.

Tom once asked Vito if he would arrange a position for Carlo in the family, and Vito's answer was no, let him work outside by himself.

This also laid the groundwork for Carlo's betrayal of the family in the future, but the main reason is that Carlo is a white-eyed wolf, and the blood of Erwuzi is flowing in his bones.

In the evening, Vito organized a family dinner.

At the wine table, Sonny and Clemenza joined forces to drink Russell, but they were dizzy by Russell's drink, with their heads on the ground and their feet in the sky.

Finally, when Russell left, there was no one who could speak, and they were all leaning against the wall and gagging.

Inside the car, Marina held Russell's arm and rested with her eyes closed.

Originally, Philisto deployed several routes on the way back, but Russell asked him to go back the same way, just to give Basini a chance to attack.
