Hollywood New Century

Simon leans on the couch on the phone with Bruce Ratner in Anne Hathaway's mansion in the Highlands of Brooklyn, New York.

Bruce, it's been so long, how are you thinking? Now the NBA regular season is about to end, and the New Jersey Nets have long lost their hope of entering the playoffs. The Brooklyn Stadium and the Nets can exchange for a big deal. It's a good deal to invest the money into the Forest City Group's Atlantic Plaza project! Simon held the girl's head while talking on the phone with Bruce Ratner.

Ah, Simon, see you tonight, let's have a meal together, and we'll have a good talk, the land on Leonard Street in Tribeca, the Brooklyn Coliseum and the Nets! Bruce Ratner said on the phone.

Okay, Simon responded with a nasal voice and put down the phone, and the hand that pressed the girl's head began to press it slightly.

After a while, Simon let out a long breath, and Anne Hathaway, who was kneeling in front of the sofa, got up and wiped her mouth.

What's the matter, what's the good thing? Anne Hathaway sat next to Simon and asked.

Simon smiled and said, I spoke with Bruce Ratner on the phone just now. Listening to his tone, it seems that Forest City Group is ready to agree to my acquisition request.

Is the team moving to Brooklyn too, otherwise, the nearby residents will keep protesting, said Anne Hathaway, who was born in Brooklyn and is well aware of these situations.

Sure, Simon said, holding the girl in sexy pajamas into his arms, warm and fragrant!

Will New Jersey let the team move over? Can Bruce Ratner convince the NBA? Anne Hathaway was still a little disbelieving.

Yes, the Brooklyn Stadium is the theme building of the Atlantic Plaza project, and they have plans for two and three phases. The Forest City Group's plan is to turn that area into a business district in Brooklyn, which has been in preparation for several years. I won’t give up,” Simon knew that Bruce Ratner was always looking for investor support, but he couldn’t let the Russian tycoon get a head start.

Anne Hathaway clung to Simon's arms and said with a smile, You seemed to be on the phone with Bruce Ratner just now, right?

That's right! Simon said, squinting his eyes. After so long, the Nets should have changed hands.

I wish you success, I'm also leaving New York for Los Angeles, and the two movies Thor and Marriage Fight are about to start shooting, I have to prepare, Anne Hathaway said, twisting her body, leaning on to Simon.

I heard that Disney is going to make a live-action version of Alice in Wonderland. Some newspapers said they would invite you to play the White Queen? Simon had actually considered this movie before, but Disney had made Alice in Wonderland a long time ago. The cartoon, although there will be no copyright issues, after all, it is adapted from a fairy tale.

However, Simon really has no experience with this kind of fairy tale adaptation, and at least Disney has cartoons to learn from.

It seems that I have been in contact with Susan, but I haven't talked about it in detail. Disney is still preparing the script, the director, and the starring are not yet decided, Susan is her agent Susan White, a friend of Sonia Roman.

Anne Hathaway is also not sure, after all, it is just an intention now, and Anne Hathaway herself became famous by virtue of the title of Disney Princess!

Disney, since Pixar, the Disney animated series seems to be showing signs of picking up again, Simon said. There is nothing he can do about Disney's strength in the children's market. The Disney Store and Disneyland have indeed been too successful.

Didn't Xinghai just acquire an animation studio? It should also have its own animation feature film soon, right? Anne Hathaway said of course Lighting Entertainment.

There is indeed the idea of ​​making an animated feature film, it is estimated that it will take two years, Simon is still very confident in Chris Melardandley!

In the afternoon, Simon Pike put Anne Hathaway on a plane from New York to Los Angeles and went to the hotel where he met Bruce Ratner.

In lower Manhattan, the Langham Hotel on Leonard Street in Tribeca is not too far from the land that Simon wanted.

Simon, the Brooklyn Coliseum is the core building of the Atlantic Plaza project. If we sell it to you, we will have nothing left, Bruce Ratner has given in, only hoping to keep 10% of the Nets and 40% of the Coliseum. of the shares, and Simon was unwilling.

Atlantic Pier, nearby commercial office buildings, entertainment districts, future high-end building apartments, etc., after the Nets move in, you know how much it will help the nearby economic situation, Simon said, taking a sip of coffee Then he continued to speak,

Bruce, I'm sure I won't just own the Nets and don't run the gym. How long will it take for my hundreds of millions of dollars to pay off?

Don't talk about the Nine-headed Bird Fund, let's talk about the rate of return of Xinghai Entertainment. You can calculate it yourself. I invest in movies, and I make more money than this!

Bruce Ratner sighed helplessly, the current environment is too bad, and no other investors can be found. If Simon withdraws, I don't know how long it will take.

Bruce, Nets and Brooklyn Coliseum handed over to me, I can guarantee that all funds will be in place in October, the Coliseum can be demolished now, start construction, $500 million in cash, plus the current team's $100 million in debt , no one is willing to pay this price! Simon stared at Bruce Ratner and said word by word,

Moreover, in the current situation, Forest City has such a capital injection, right?

For your group, it is very beneficial!

The two chatted for four or five hours and finally negotiated the deal. Simon was going to inject funds to start the construction of the Brooklyn Stadium in October. Bruce Ratner sold the New Jersey Nets and the new stadium project completely!

Bruce, it's a pleasure to cooperate, I will let the lawyer go to the Forest City Group to sign the contract! Simon happily sent Bruce Ratner out of the hotel door.

Okay, we have a good time working together! Bruce Ratner smiled and got into the car.

Looking at the van going away, Simon was very excited at the door. The acquisition of more than 600 million dollars, the Nets, the Brooklyn Stadium, and of course the land on Leonard Street, are all his own!

Hi, Simon! A female voice called Simon out of his reverie.

Well, it's you!
