Hollywood starts with a broker

"Aaron, the Rockets aren't cheap;"

"They're a strong Western Conference team, Houston is a big city with a good economy and a large population, and the basketball market is pretty good!"

Jack Wells had thoroughly investigated all aspects of the Houston Rockets. Charlie Thomas, who had owned the Rockets since 1982,

now wanted to sell, partly because he was getting old and lacked the energy, and partly because the Rockets' playoff performance in recent years had consistently disappointed him.

"How much will it cost? I'm a billionaire in America now, too!"

"That's true," Jack Wells smiled, then sighed. "Donald Sterling and Jerry Buss won't sell their teams, otherwise, we could just watch games in Los Angeles;"

"However, it doesn't matter. Angel Company has purchased a piece of land in Texas and is planning to build a new training base there;"

"I should be spending a lot of time in Texas in the future."

Aaron stood up and stretched. "That's great. You can go watch the games live every day then;"

"I'm leaving now. Quentin Tarantino is such a lecher. I need to keep an eye on him during filming so he doesn't delay the schedule!"

The influence of "Pulp Fiction" was truly enormous, otherwise, Aaron wouldn't have paid attention to a project with a budget of less than $10 million.

"Don't worry…"

Since Aaron was interested in the Houston Rockets, and Dawn Films had the funds, he couldn't miss this opportunity!

Soon, Aaron took his sexy female assistant, Christiana Yeri, to Houston, Texas, to meet with Rockets owner Charlie Thomas;

The Houston Rockets were established in 1967, and Charlie Thomas is the seventh owner, having acquired the team for $11 million in 1982!

Houston is located in southeastern Texas, in the northern part of the Gulf Coastal Plain. It is named after Sam Houston, the president of the Republic of Texas;

It is famous for oil, aviation, and canals. In particular, the Johnson Space Center is also located in Houston, earning it the nickname "Space City!"

At the Hilton Hotel in downtown Houston, Aaron leaned back on the sofa, holding a copy of the "Houston Chronicle." There were many news reports about the Houston Rockets seeking a sale;

Although the current owner, Charlie Thomas, wanted to sell the Rockets, he also had some conditions.

"Aaron, we can go directly to the Compaq Center tonight. Mr. Charlie Thomas will meet us at the Rockets' home arena!"

Christiana Yeri walked over and reminded Aaron of the upcoming arrangements.

"Meeting at the Compaq Center," Aaron put down the newspaper. "Is this a tribute to the team? And I have competitors!"

Aaron Anderson wasn't the only one who wanted to buy the Houston Rockets.

"I believe no one can compete with you!"

Christiana Yeri said, leaning down to kiss the man's face.

"Compete with me?"

Aaron smiled, reaching out to pull Christiana Yeri onto his lap. "The thing I fear the least is competition!"

"By the way, have you filmed your scenes in "Pulp Fiction" yet?"

Aaron asked, caressing the woman's body while inquiring about the filming process.

"Not yet. They filmed Madonna Ciccone's scenes first;"

"My scenes aren't many. I estimate they'll be finished in one or two weeks. It's also in Los Angeles, so there's no rush!"

Christiana Yeri plays the female role in a pair of robber lovers in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction;"

She had already memorized the lines in the play and was just waiting to film on location.

"By the way, the filming of "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" in Miami is progressing quickly. It's estimated that it will wrap up in just over two months, which is the end of July;"

"The comic book "The Mask" that you had someone adapt should be starting formal preparations, right?"

Christiana Yeri knew that Jim Carrey was also Aaron's choice for the male lead in "The Mask!"

""The Mask," ah, yes, it's indeed about to start preparations."

Aaron nodded. Of course, there was no problem with Jim Carrey playing the male lead, but they also needed a young, sexy female lead, preferably a blonde American girl similar to a Playboy cover model;

He knew many beautiful women, but not many blondes. Even Nicole Kidman herself has red hair, and Winona Ryder is blonde but always appears with dark hair!

Then, he looked down at Christiana Yeri in his arms. "The female lead in "The Mask" needs a sexy, young, and beautiful actress;"

"To attract the audience, it's probably still necessary to have that American-style blonde with blue eyes."

Christiana Yeri put her arms around the man's neck and kissed him. "Let me try out for the role then!"

Aaron nodded. "Don't worry, even if you're not suitable, there will be other roles for you."

"The Mask" is a comedy, full of American humor. Christiana Yeri, who grew up in France, would probably find it difficult to create chemistry with Jim Carrey;

Therefore, Aaron didn't have much confidence in Christiana Yeri either.

"Got it. Anyway, I'm just treating it as gaining audition experience. After all, my English fluency is still not good enough!"

Christiana Yeri had been with Aaron for quite some time and understood him. If she was suitable, he would have decided directly.

"Mmm," Christiana Yeri had just finished speaking when Aaron blocked her mouth, their tongues intertwined in a passionate kiss!

"You've been in America for a few months now. Are you used to it?"

Aaron pressed Christiana Yeri onto the sofa, reaching into her bra with both hands, feeling her softness.

"Yes, I'm used to it. The pace of life is much faster than in France!"

Christiana Yeri said, unbuckling the man's belt, "It's just that you're always too busy."

Aaron smiled. "But you're my assistant. Aren't we spending enough time together?"

"Enough," Christiana Yeri said, hugging the man tightly…

In the evening, Aaron took Christiana Yeri to the Rockets' home arena, the Compaq Center, in downtown Houston;

This venue, which had been in use since 1975, was indeed a bit old, and the Compaq Center could only accommodate 16,000 people, making it impossible to renovate!

Aaron's first thought upon arriving here was that if he acquired the Houston Rockets, his first priority would be to build a new, multi-functional indoor arena for the Rockets.

When Aaron Anderson arrived at Charlie Thomas's office, he happened to see another person leaving!

"Leslie Alexander, a stockbroker from New York, is also interested in the Rockets," Charlie Thomas explained with a smile.
