Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 212 Fame and Script
"Of course the Rockets will not move away. They will always belong to Houston;"

"Not only that, I also need to help the Rockets build a new multi-purpose dedicated stadium. The Compaq Center has outdated facilities and insufficient seating capacity. It can hardly bear the responsibility of the Rockets' rise!"

Aaron seemed very confident facing Charlie Thomas.

Charlie Thomas was stunned for a moment, "You want to build a new stadium?"

“I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Houston City Government to provide this budget!”

Aaron smiled and said, "It would probably take years of lobbying for the city government to pay for it. I don't have that kind of time."

"I mean, I'll personally fund the construction of a multi-purpose indoor arena for the Rockets in Houston!"

"Yourself?" Charlie Thomas was immediately surprised. The cost of building a new indoor stadium is more expensive than the team.

“Yeah,” Aaron nodded, “It would be best if the Houston Rockets sold it to me;”

"That Wall Street stockbroker Leslie Alexander, I guess he'd be lucky if he could raise enough money to buy the Rockets."

"I'm different. I can do instant cash transactions!"

There was no way, Aaron Anderson's advantage was too obvious, not only was he rich, but the other party's identity and status were also extraordinary;
As a Hollywood tycoon, Aaron Anderson is a Hollywood face. His joining the NBA is something that league commissioner David Stern and other club owners would like to see.

Aaron Anderson will definitely have a positive publicity effect on the NBA and can better strengthen the connection between the NBA and Hollywood.

At night, Aaron hugged Christiana Yeri and lay in the hotel bathtub. "Let's go directly to New York. Charlie Thomas won't refuse my offer."

$8500 million in cash, plus Aaron's promise to build a new dedicated gymnasium, could he refuse such an offer?

"Okay, but then I have to go back to Los Angeles to film Pulp Fiction!"

Christiana Yeri lay on Aaron's chest, her face rosy and extremely attractive.

“You can go back to Los Angeles anytime,” Aaron smiled and rubbed Christiana Yeri…

A week later, Aaron signed an agreement with Charlie Thomas at the NBA headquarters in Manhattan to acquire the Houston Rockets;
Acquired the NBA Rockets Club for a total of US$8500 million!
As for Aaron's competitor Leslie Alexander, he is simply not strong enough.

East Hampton, Long Island, New York.

Aaron met with the Rockets' current general manager Ray Patterson and head coach Rudy Tomjanovich in his own luxurious villa!
"Mr. Thomas's contributions to the Rockets are indelible, but I will also inherit Mr. Thomas's wish and lead the Rockets to the top of the NBA;"

"We have superstar Hakeem Olajuwon, who is very strong and fully capable of winning the championship, so my goal is very clear, which is the championship;"

"Besides, I also have the ability to support you in winning the championship!"

Ray Patterson and head coach Rudy Tomjanovich certainly knew about Aaron Anderson. After all, Charlie Thomas had talked about his situation before the acquisition.

"Championship, the Rockets do have the talent, but maybe they're just a little unlucky," Ray Patterson said. Of course, he wanted to win the championship, too. Aaron smiled. "Ray, I think you know about the new stadium. Lobbying with the Houston Sports Authority is a waste of time for me."

"So, I plan to invest my own money to build a new multi-purpose stadium in Houston. Please discuss this with the Houston City Government. We need a place with convenient transportation and ample parking for the new stadium!"

The Toyota Center in its previous life was not in a good location and was not accessible by subway because it was built by the Houston City Government mainly for urban development.

It’s different now. Aaron builds it himself and doesn’t need funding from the city government. Doesn’t that mean he has to help Houston’s urban development?
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, not only Rudy Tomjanovich was surprised, but even Ray Patterson was stunned for a moment, "Aaron, is this true?"

As the general manager, he knew too well the role a dedicated stadium would play in promoting the club. However, building a new stadium was too expensive, and it was usually the city government that made the investment.
Now the new owner Aaron Anderson is spending huge sums of money to build it himself!
"Of course it's true. When the time comes, I will make the new stadium a landmark and tourist attraction in Houston;"

"Let the Houston Rockets become Houston's representative team, surpassing the Houston Oilers of the NFL (Football) League and the Houston Astros of the MLB (Baseball) League!"

Aaron knows very well that in the United States, the NFL and MLB dominate the top two sports markets.
The NBA has slightly higher ratings than the NHL (ice hockey) league.

Although Ray Patterson is old, he has worked with the Rockets for many years and has great ambitions!
"If it is really possible, I think the Houston city government will definitely support us. A new multi-functional stadium will have a strong role in promoting the local economy.

"The Rockets will definitely win the championship trophy in the future."

Ray Patterson certainly supports Aaron Anderson's idea.

The NBA will hold its annual draft in Auburn Hills, Michigan at the end of this month, but it seems that the Rockets have already traded their first-round pick;
Regarding the current Rockets lineup, Aaron is also the general manager who asked Ray Patterson and Rudy Tomjanovich to strengthen it according to the championship standards...

At the same time, the film "Interview with the Vampire" co-produced by Dawn Pictures and Geffen Films held a launch conference in New York;

The crew will first go to Louisiana for filming, and then to London, Paris and other places.

The Mark Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Aaron, lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief and released his hand that was stroking Monica Bellucci's hair!

After a while, Monica Bellucci climbed onto Aaron's chest and licked her lips. "The investment in Interview with the Vampire is really huge."

Previously, the production cost of "Dracula" starring Monica Bellucci was 400 million US dollars;
Now, also with the vampire theme, the filming budget of "Interview with the Vampire" is 6000 million US dollars!
Aaron smiled and said, “It’s not easy to get Tom Cruise to star in a production;”

"By the way, your part should be in Europe, right?"

Monica Bellucci nodded and said, "Yes, mainly on the Paris set."

In "Interview with the Vampire", Monica Bellucci is only a supporting actress and does not have many scenes. The child star Kirsten Dunst has more scenes.

"Wait until Philadelphia Story comes out, you need fame in Hollywood," Aaron said as he stroked the other's 36D.

"With fame, there will be scripts..."
