February 17.

  There was a Cruze, a Cruze that turned Billy's stomach. First off, Donnie Brasbsp;was a relief, the produ was underway, but it was safe to say it might overp with Titanic. It was a matter of being caught between a rod a hard pce. The pre-produ for Donnie Brasbsp;began now in January. However, many producers were fident it would start in March, May, or June. Curiously, the auditions for Titanibsp;were ready to be released. Billy knew perfectly well that the gold mine before his eyes had to be exposed and exploited with the same dedication he had shown on other occasions.

  -I'm afraid pushing the produ forward will only cause inveniences unless you decide to spend more mohese things aren't meant to be rushed. We have many types of shoots and things that o be done,- ented Jim Waiit, ell-versed iiming and form of success. But some films were ready to be shot. Billy had his audition, and thousands of people were called to participate in it. For now, it would be a massive of numerous people, all dressed and imagined as Jack.

  He bought some old brown pants, a sed-hand blue shirt with suspenders, and some fortable leather shoes, a bit dirty, and his hair, which was still growing, needed pins. But it had a slight wave that fell over his face. He shaved his beard and wore a bro— a beret over his face.

  -We’ll take the big ship on our side… I think we support Donnie Brasbsp;as part of the produ’s ste. That leaves us a role we be a part of,- said Billy, anizing his clothes. It was m. Billy’s mansion was simple but had a rge, well-tended green wn.

  -By the way, Monica was called to star in a movie… called Aplices. It’s about lesbianism, but I think she do a good job. The produ is in Los Angeles, and well, the role doesn’t particurly involve any explicit ses,- Jim Wait remarked.

  -It doesn’t matter then… I’ll talk to her. For now, I think the outfit we chose is perfect. The character is a painter,- said Billy, standing in front of the mirror. He didn’t have much to say at the moment. Three films for now, but it would be iing to take the role in Gattabsp;if it came his way, even if it was just for a sedary character’s ses alongside the protagonist.

  -I think you get the point…– replied Jim Waiit, nodding over his papers. –"I’ve got three scripts you should read. They may not be fantastic, but they bring iing ideas you use to improve your skills, and they don’t require lead roles. You don’t always have to go for the lead. Sometimes some roles are better than others."-

  Among them was a sedary role with some ses in Air, which began shooting in two weeks, a sci-fi movie Starship Troopers, along with My Best Friend’s Wedding in New York, or even a role iion, but that one was discarded. Lastly, there was a low-budget horror film they were sidering him for a leading role. To Jim, it would give Billy se as an actor and wouldn't take long to film.

  -I’ll keep them in mind. sidering how things are going, I think I o focus on produ. We’ve got two films this year, Donnie Brasbsp;and Men in Bck. I ime tanize my ideas and oversee the produ process,- Billy ented.

  -I’ll send over the scripts. We’ll hahe rest in the ing months,- Jim said.

  They fiheir versation, with many promises in mind. Billy returo the set of L.A. fidential. The directors wao film a few extra ses, which could take an unknown amount of time. But it wasn’t much, just a wish from the editing room. Nothing signifit had ged. The set remained intact, and the permits to shoot were extended until May.

  He id his e oable and opehe curtains. The Italian woman, asleep on the quilt, let out a small protest, a muffled whimper of pure whim.

  -You’ve got to go to work,- Billy said, sitting beside her, brushing her hair. -Someone has a little cameo to make in Alien.-

  -Nooo.-

  -e on, e on,- Billy coaxed, caressing her under-eye circles, a sensitive spot for the woman, who now raised her hands, wanting to move past the early m distent and finally open her dark eyes.

  For some time now, he had been pushing his work to the extreme, managing to make purchases from many pces. Buying sports teams was a move that not everyone sidered the right deany doubted Billy’s idea of getting into the world of sports so early. It’s undeniable that whehey think something is wrong, it might turn out to be the opposite. Billy’s thought process was much more plex, and the fact that he utting so much focus into sports was evidence of his itment.

  The San Francisco 49ers, an Ameri football team pying in Santa Cra, just 25 minutes from Billy’s pany, were the perfect team for him to buy. The first step was the sale from DeBartolo Jr., who had faced some corruption issues in Louisiana a problems with os. The DeBartolo family’s assets had caused ret trouble. The sale was something that had to happen, acc to his mother’s remarks. Meanwhile, John York, his sister’s husband, had been advog for the team.

  -Mr. DeBartolo, thank you for sidering our offer,- said Steve Parks.

  -Well, we haven’t accepted anything crete yet. It’s something that could cause slight plications. For now, the priority is reviewing the offer’s value,- DeBartolo responded.

  -It’s simple. You leave us with a 200 millio oeam, aake on the debt. You use that extra moo resolve your financial issues, and the purchase won’t bring you many inveniences. It’s a type of financial leverage, g the debt, and we’ll take care of both the debt and the team’s situation,- Steve Parks expined.

  The financial idea was desigo seek the highest value for the seller, more in terms of distribution than revenue. But it wouldn’t cause much disfort— it would just be a price-cost idea that brought many issues, particurly with the debt they were buying. It was the right business for the situation of both parties, though it required a lot of work and effort.

  -Regarding that, would you assume the other 13 millio?- DeBartolo responded.

  Steve Parks hey already had a hockey team, a basketball team, and now, a football team. The shape of a sports glomerate was taking form. They had the San Jose Sharks, the Golden State Warriors, and now the San Francisco 49ers, part of Lux Sports' acquisitions. If they could add a baseball team, and a soccer team, and build a tennis stadium to create the Lux Cup, saned by the ATP, it would be just another way to turn San Jose into a sports capital, whiolenty of room to grow.

  -For now, this is the offer we must present,- said Steve Parks.

  Initially, they had wao buy it for just 150 million, but the iation pushed it up to 213 million. In the end, despite some reluce, they reached an agreement.
