Chapter 26 Unexpected Visitors
As early as about two months before the start of the new season, the Orlando Magic couldn't wait to release photos of their new home stadium, although the downtown Orlando stadium is still under construction.
The new Orlando Magic stadium, which costs about $480 million, will be named "Amway Center", and the original name "Amway Center" will become history. The team's chief operating officer Alex Martins and the team's star Dwight Howard, former Magic player Nick Anderson attended the press conference and announced the rename of the venue on the spot. The Amway Center broke ground in July 2008 and is expected to be completed in 2010. Last year, the Magic used the New Amway Center as capital to submit a request to the league to host the 2011-2012 All-Star Game. Their efforts paid off in April this year. NBA President David Stern also confirmed not long ago that Orlando will become the host of the All-Star Game, and it is likely to be 2012. []
Magic boss DeVos is one of the co-founders of Amway. In 1959, he founded the direct sales company with his partner Jay Van Ander in his basement. With this relationship, it is natural for Amway to buy the naming rights of Magic home court. According to sources, DeVos has reached a contract renewal agreement with Amway, and the two parties will extend the cooperation period by 10 years. Although no specific agreement was announced, according to the US Sports Business magazine, the contract between the two parties is 10 years and 40 million US dollars.
"This is a challenge." Martin admits that it is not easy to spend $480 million to build a new stadium in such a recession. "Maybe people may think it's nothing to big bosses on the surface, but I must point out that the big boss (DVos family) only owns half of the company's shares, and the holders of the other half are not even interested in these things."
Now, the Magic's new stadium has been completed. They will hold a solemn press conference on October 5, 2010, two days before the preseason starts, announcing the official opening of their home stadium in the new season.
On the morning of October 4th, when Wu Feng was still sleeping, a phone call disturbed his dream.
"Hey, I'm Wu Feng, who are you?" Wu Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes, which was a little confused, yawned, and then asked the other side of the phone.
"It's me, damn boy, I'm outside your house." Carl Davis shouted at Wu Feng.
It's already ten o'clock in the morning, and Wu Feng hasn't gotten up yet. It's no wonder Carl Davis gets angry at Wu Feng.
Wu Feng frowned, then rubbed his ears that were "harmed" by Carl Davis' loud voice.
"I know, let's get up now." Wu Feng hung up the phone depressedly, then climbed out of bed, and went to open the door for Carl Davis in a pair of shorts.
As soon as the door opened, Wu Feng saw Carl Davis standing outside the door. However, why is there a girl standing behind Carl Davis?
Damn Davis!
Wu Feng cursed in his heart, then rushed back to his bedroom, put on his clothes in a flash.
"Damn, I'm here to open the door without wearing any clothes." Carl Davis shouted at Wu Feng's bedroom.
"Shet, when you called, you didn't tell me that someone would be with you!" Wu Feng roared at Carl Davis angrily.
Carl Davis spread his hands insidiously, and then let the girl who came with him sit in the living room and walk towards Wu Feng's bedroom.
Wu Feng's bedroom has its own bathroom, so after putting on his own clothes, Wu Feng quickly washed up again. After washing up as quickly as possible, he sorted out his clothes and hairstyle in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Wu Feng came out of the bedroom and just came out and met Carl Davis.
"You immortal, you actually made me embarrassed." Wu Feng compared his middle finger to Carl Davis.
Carl Davis pulled Wu Feng to the living room with a smirk. After Wu Feng walked into the living room, he saw clearly the girl's appearance.
"Hmm? It seems that this girl has seen it somewhere!" Wu Feng stared at the girl and frowned.
The girl frowned when she saw Wu Feng and thought he thought he was not beautiful, so she immediately felt a little unhappy on her face.
I have to say that this girl is very beautiful, and her dress is very pure today, and she is on the student route. But she was wrong. Of course, Wu Feng did not frown because she was not beautiful. On the contrary, Wu Feng thought this girl was very beautiful and she liked, but she seemed to have seen it somewhere.
"Wu!" Carl Davis took a photo of Wu Feng.
Only then did Wu Feng realize that he might have lost his composure, so he rubbed his hands with a smile and said to the girl: "Sorry, I thought I had seen you somewhere, so I was thinking about where I had seen you, so I was distracted. Please forgive me. By the way, my name is Wu Feng, I am a Chinese."
After hearing Wu Feng's words, the girl realized that she had misunderstood Wu Feng, so she smiled and said to Wu Feng: "Hello, I'm Saoirse-Ronan."
"Saoirse Ronan? This name is so familiar! Uh, could it be..."
"You are the bad girl in "Atonement"!" Wu Feng said, pointing to Saoirse Ronan.
Wu Feng has watched the film "Atonement". Although this film did not win any supreme awards at the Oscars, Saoirse Ronan has attracted a lot of attention from fans for this film.
Although the 2008 Oscar-popular film "Atonement" won 7 nominations, it was dismal in terms of major awards. On the contrary, Saoirse Ronan from Ireland was 14 years old.
Seronan) was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her maturity and sophistication that was inconsistent with her age. So far, Saoirse Ronan has won two awards in various film awards for this role, as well as nine nominations including Oscars and Golden Globes.
Some people say that the villain must be successful until it makes people grit their teeth, so Saoirse Ronan should be considered successful. The story of "Atonement" begins in a Victorian-style manor in the vast countryside of Britain. The character Bioni played by Saoirse Ronan is a sensitive and imaginative girl. She peeks into the adult world with curiosity, anxiety, fear, jealousy, rejection, and even hatred. A sensitive girl falls into lies and evil in a moment, and eventually gets guilt for a lifetime.
Bioni shows the personality traits unique to all literary and artistic young women's girls' generations, but it is not so easy to act well. "Performance is to imagine that you are that person. Her personality is not that despicable. She is just confused. She tries to forget but cannot do it. She is deeply tortured by her own guilt." Saoirse Ronan shared her understanding of the role with people after filming this video, which is far beyond her age.
Joe White, the director of "Atonement", later described Saoirse Ronan as a very smart little girl. "Every time I finished filming a scene, I didn't need to comfort her emotionally. Whether it was a scene of crying, fear or frightened, we would be infected by her performance as we watched it. After filming, we were still immersed in that emotion, and she would come over and ask where the tea and snacks were."
