"Billie-Jean-is-not-my-lover-" In the spacious living room, everyone stood or sat on the sofa, all smiling with joy on their faces. With the beautiful accompaniment, the LCD TV screen played the music video of the song, and Joseph held the microphone and sang excitedly, "But-the-kid-is-not-my-son-" He sang while circling around Michael Pitt, and suddenly made an "ao" sound like Michael Jackson.

Everyone immediately laughed, and Wang Yang on the sofa couldn't help but smile and wave his arms, whistling with Zachary next to him.

After all, very unpleasant things happened one after another a few days ago, so Jessica proposed to hold a happy party at home, Wang Yang naturally nodded and agreed, so he invited everyone to play this weekend. Including Rachel, Zachary, Tom Welling, Zoe Deschanel and other good friends of "Youth Musicale 3", they happen to be in Los Angeles preparing for the promotional event, as well as Joseph, James Franco, Annie Darren and other "Sweetheart" friends, and Zoe's good friend Kate Hudson and several other young people, of course, there are some couples, very lively.

Everyone is not all singing in the living room, basking in the sun and blowing in the back garden, eating in the dining room kitchen, playing cards and games...... Feel free to move around and play in this big room. Of course, private areas such as the study and bedroom have been locked.

"she-says-i-am-the-one-" Joseph clenched his fists in obsessiveness, walked backwards in an unaesthetic "space step", jumped up and stood on tiptoe, and sang at the same time, "but-the-kid-is-not-my-son-oh!" He stumbled down two steps, and the crowd laughed again, and Michael Pitt laughed and said, "Joey, you can't dance ballet like this!" Joseph jumped up again, stood on his toes steadily, and said, "Just a mistake just now, go on!she-says-i-am-the-one-"

In the midst of applause and laughter, Joseph finished singing a song "Billie-Jean", he glanced at the crowd: "Next, who will sing?" He suddenly stopped his gaze on Wang Yang and shouted: "Wang Yang!" Everyone immediately laughed and applauded, looking at Wang Yang on the sofa, Michael smiled: "Come on, Young!" Tom Welling also smiled and said: "Young, don't be shy, you haven't sung yet." Zachary pushed Wang Yang and said with a smile: "Man, please!"

"Ahem!" Wang Yang stood up with a smile, didn't answer the microphone in front of him, looked left and right, and said suspiciously: "Where is my guitar? Where is my guitar? I like to sing and play at the same time, I'll look for it!"

The afternoon sun is bright and warm, and next to the pool in the back garden, there are several sun loungers, as well as a set of sun umbrella tables and chairs. Jessica, Scarlett, Rachel, Annie and several other girls wore short-sleeved T-shirts and shorts, and they were lying on sun loungers or sitting at tables and chairs, drinking drinks and chatting with laughter from time to time, enjoying a casual summer.

Wang Yang was about to walk towards them to listen to the girls' gossip, when he suddenly heard a few sneaky "Yang, Yang!" He turned his head to see Joshua with a strange face standing behind him, out of nowhere. Wang Yang asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Joshua looked at the girls in the distance, looked at him again, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Hey, you know I don't have a girlfriend now." Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, guessed what he meant, and said with a smile: "So, you want to pursue one?"

"yes!" Joshua snapped his fingers, put his arm around his shoulders, looked at the girls, and said in an excited voice, "Scarlett Johansson, don't you think she's beautiful?

"How do I know?" Wang Yang glanced at Scarlett who was lying on the sun lounger, how did he know what kind of person she was? A girl with outstanding acting talent? He smiled and said, "Man, let it go! ”

Joshua nodded thoughtfully, touched his chin and analyzed: "I can see through such animals as girls! They all like very strong men, for example, you are very handsome, or you are very rich, very talented, and have a high status...... Funny and humorous, sweet talking, but also a man! Anyway, if you want a girl, you have to have at least a little bit of ...... in it."

He suddenly looked Wang Yang up and down, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, why do you seem to have it all! I really can't imagine that you are a white person, wow, all the girls in this country will go crazy for you!" Wang Yang glared at him and said, "What are you talking about?" Joshua spread his hands in confusion and said, "What did I say? Man, I'm of Mexican descent." You know there's a big part of white people who are just that superficial. ”

Wang Yang smiled and nodded, "Facts." But I don't agree with what you said earlier. I think it's fair to say that if you want a girl, you have to have the qualities that make her like, and every girl has different requirements. Joshua pursed his lips rather disdainfully, and said, "And the similarity between them is the part I said." ”

He thought about it again and muttered, "I'm handsome, a little bit of money, a potential talent, a potential status, very funny, a man who knows how to talk sweetly...... cough!" He himself couldn't believe it, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I'm self-motivated!

"Good luck. Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder, then walked over to the girls with a smile and greeted: "Hi, beauties," Jessica, Scarlett, and Rachel who were lying on the sun lounger, and Annie, Eileen, and Zoe, who were still sitting at the table and chair, all looked at him and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Jan!", he leaned down on the vacant sun next to Jessica, and said, "The sunshine is very good, what are you talking about?"

The girls all laughed all of a sudden, looking at each other and drinking their drinks, Jessica gave him a blank look, and said, "I'm talking about some girls' topics, don't ask!" Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh too, nodded, and said with a smile: "Ok, I'm here to gossip, I'm a paparazzi." But I'm also a director, and girls, you all look like actors, so who's going to make a movie with me?

"No, no......" The girls all laughed and shook their heads, Rachel sat up and said with a smile: "Young, a man can't be so gossipy." Erin and Zoe agreed, Jessica reached out and patted him on the head, and smiled crisply: "Don't spoil your manhood!"

"Oh, thank you!" Wang Yang grinned, and was about to stand up and leave, not bothering them to talk about girls, but saw Joshua walking over, and kept glaring at him.

Joshua immediately came to him, he smiled and said, "Hey, everyone!" In the greeting of everyone, he walked to the sun table and sat down, picked up a can of drink and opened it, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?" Wang Yang immediately smiled and answered: "Some girl topics have nothing to do with men. The girls all mumbled, and Joshua raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course......!"

A self-motivated man with potential! He pondered slightly, then turned over the topic he had just thought of, looked in Scarlett's direction, and said with a smile: "Do you have any good investment ideas? I am ready to make some investments, you know that I have played a few small roles, I have some small money in my hands, what do I do if I have money and don't invest? I am very mature, but I am not the kind of person who messes around with a little money." ”

Jessica snorted noncommittally, and Rachel next to her smiled and encouraged, "Joshua, I've got your back." But remember to be cautious when investing, don't rush. Joshua looked at her with a touched face and said, "Rachel, why aren't you my sister?" Rachel shrugged, Jessica glared at him, and Scarlett, Annie, and the others laughed.

"My current idea is to do some real estate, intermediaries, mortgages, ......" Joshua casually counted a few kinds of business, very modest, and said, "Actually, it's a family business, nothing remarkable." So......" Seeing that Scarlett didn't seem to be very interested, he looked at Wang Yang, who was drinking a drink, and pulled him into the water: "Yang, what about you? I heard that Flame Movies has recently acquired special effects companies, but don't want movies...... Have you invested in any family businesses?"

The girls all looked at it immediately, Wang Yang shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, my interest is not in the restaurant industry, and my father doesn't have any idea of opening a chain restaurant, so he just redecorated it." Remembering his recent investment, he continues, "I actually do have two acquisitions that aren't movies right now, the first of which is planning to form a game development company. ”

Ever since he hired Paul Emory as his agent, he was given his first assignment to find a game development company that was suitable for acquisition. Paul Emory's strength is not in packaging promotions, endorsements and other entertainment matters, he is good at multi-faceted investment acquisitions, managing funds, and so on. Paul was surprised when he first heard about this plan, and asked him several times, "Is it wrong?"

Wang Yang just replied, "That's right, I'm just going to buy a game developer." "The purpose of his investment is not to make a lot of money, but to make a good game. He is a film director and has no ability to make games, but he can use money to support those who have the ability to do it, 15 million is not a lot, just a new attempt in advance.

Once Paul Emory was sure, he started looking for a job, which was actually quite simple, and the 15 million check immediately caught the eye of many small game developers. Then soon, he sent a list full of company names to Wang Yang, and then a name caught his attention: Black Island Studio.

Founded in 1998 as a division of Interplay, Black Isle Studios is a well-known developer of RPG (role-playing) games, best known for its 1999 Best RPG of the Year Requiem. Other hugely successful titles include Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), "The Frozen Valley" last year, and "Baldergate" with Bioware in '98.

It's not a small game publisher, it's a craft-level RPG giant, and it's not an independent company, so it can't be acquired for 15 million. But now, there's a great opportunity!

Despite the fact that the games developed were good sellers, the Black Isle studio had a tumultuous life, as early as 98 when the studio was officially founded, Timothy Kane, the creator of "Fallout", left the Black Isle with the "Fallout Three" to form Troika, and shortly after the release of "Fallout 2", a large number of excellent production staff left, all because the leader of the Black Island, Figas Urquhart, was too angry and "put too much pressure on them".

At the beginning of this year, Kuroshima announced plans for a new game, "Thorn", and the company was full of momentum, but recently Interplay suddenly decided to cancel this project. Now the whole Black Isle is full of gloom on the one hand, and on the other hand, the internal conflicts are very serious, and the employees who have been resentful for a long time are very dissatisfied, especially Chris Taylor, the chief designer of "Thorn", and all the members of the production team, they all want to leave the Black Island.

So he agreed to Paul Emery's suggestion and contacted Chris Taylor and others to express his willingness to fund a new development company with them to develop the game for District 9. Chris Taylor and the others were very interested in this plan, they were already tired of Black Island, and they had already come up with another door and basically agreed to his invitation.

"That's it. Wang Yang took a sip of cold Coke to moisten his throat, looked at the girls and Joshua, and said with a smile: "If everything goes well, soon you will be able to see a new game development company rise from the ground, which is really exciting." ”

"Oh!" Annie, who doesn't play computer games at all, nodded a little confusedly, but her face was full of happy smiles for him, and Rachel, Scarlett, Erin and the others were no better, they basically didn't understand games, let alone the game industry behind them, and only Jessica, who had already heard him talk about it, had a proud smile on her face, "I know what he was talking about".

Seeing that the girls, including Scarlett, were attracted by Wang Yang's attention, Joshua grabbed his hair helplessly, and muttered secretly: "I knew that I would have let him go, and now the scene is completely controlled by him!" At this time, Scarlett smiled curiously and asked, "What about the second one?" You just said that there are two plans. ”

"Yes. Wang Yang nodded and smiled, this plan is because he still has money in his bank account, of course this is not true, the real reason is that he is very interested in that thing, he smiled: "The second plan is a website, maybe you know, blogger." ”

The girls all let out a sudden sigh, of course they knew what site it was, and it was because he knew about it, so they didn't feel surprised to hear about his acquisition plan now. Everyone knows that Wang Yang was one of the earliest blogger users, and when there were only tens of thousands of registered users for bloggers, he was one of them, and it is said that his use once led to a surge in the number of registered users.

In Hollywood and film and television entertainment, celebrities still commonly use personal websites to communicate with movie fans, and not many people use blogs; Wang Yang is the most popular celebrity who likes to play blogging, he is the blogger at the top of the click list in the blogger, and he has also attracted many friends to join.

"Blogger?" Joshua frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Dude, as far as I know, it doesn't seem to make any money, does it?" For this matter, the girls who follow his blog have heard a little, and they also have this doubt for a while.

In the 90s, Evan Williams and Meg Hulihan founded Pyra in San Francisco and opened it to the public in August 1999 to test the Blogger service.

Because Blogger's business is completely free, it can't find any way to make a profit at the moment, and it has become even more difficult with the bursting of the Nasdaq dot-com bubble. With only no money in and out, and no venture capital, Pyra has run out of money, and in recent months, it has been in arrears with employees' wages, and this matter finally broke out recently.

There was a mass exodus of the company's employees, including Meg Holihan, one of its founders. Even the founders resigned?! This can be said to be a certain death situation, the collapse seems to have become a fact, and all that remains is to choose whether to announce it today or tomorrow.

But the other founder, Evan Williams, did not give up, and he is still struggling to keep Blogger running, but he also released the news of seeking funding, hoping to get help and get through the difficulties. And at this time, there is a person who is willing to inject 5 million funds into it.

"Yes, but I didn't plan to make money from it. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "I bought it mainly because I thought it was very good, you know that everyone can write, show, and share, this will be a trend!"

The reason why he thinks the blog is good is because it is similar to a kind of sharing diary, where he can share his latest life, mentality, and opinions with others, and he can go back and look at it later to see how he was doing, and he can also learn about his friends and other people, which is very interesting.

And after many times of viral marketing and his own feelings, he knows too well that people are eager to share and interact, and blogger is a very good way to do things in life, comments on current events, fiction articles, etc...... It's what you want to share, it's definitely trendy.

In fact, the rapid growth of blog users also proves this, and now the number of bloggers is about to exceed 500,000, and he can often see the figure of the blog from some future movies and television, which shows that it must be very popular in the future. As for whether blogs will still be "unprofitable" things? It doesn't matter, and besides, he doesn't believe that popular things will have no commercial value, and bloggers will find their own way to make money sooner or later.

"Blogging is a long-term potential stock, and it's not necessarily unprofitable, but you have to take your time. Before that, I don't want the blogger to go out of business, you must know that I am one of its most popular bloggers!" Wang Yang took a sip of his drink, glanced at Joshua, and said with a smile: "And like the book said, what do you do if you have money and don't invest? I'm very mature, not the kind of person who messes around all day with a little money." ”

The girls burst out laughing, Zoe Deschanel made a "wow" sound, Rachel looked at Jessica next to her, and said as if she was serious and joking, "I really envy this guy!" and Erin smiled and nodded, "Me too! Zachary idiot me off all day." Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile, but couldn't help but show a happy smile, hugged his arm affectionately, and smiled sweetly: "Ha, you are envious!" Wang Yang smiled and kissed her forehead.

Seeing that Scarlett's smiling face seemed to be a little envious, Joshua couldn't help but grit his teeth and sighed secretly, he can be regarded as seeing through such an animal as a woman!

At this time, Joseph, Michael Pitt and a large number of other people suddenly walked out of the room with a smile, surrounded this side, Zachary held a beige acoustic guitar, handed it to Wang Yang, who covered his forehead and smiled, he smiled: "Yang, your guitar! It is in your gym, I found it for you." Everyone laughed and shouted, "Please, Yang, Yang, Yang......!"

"What's wrong?" Jessica asked with a smile, and the girls all had playful smiles, "Jan is going to play guitar?" and "Jan is going to perform?" Everyone nodded enthusiastically, and Joseph said, "Yes, he's going to play and sing to himself!"

"Ok, guys, it's show time!" Wang Yang took the guitar with a smile, sat up straight, and said, "Hmm, what song is good?" He only knows a little about the guitar, he used to study in high school, and then he didn't play it again when he came to Los Angeles, or when he went back to USC to study a few months ago, he revisited it, but he hadn't played it for a long time.

Under the smiling faces and gazes of everyone, he smiled, picked up the guitar and quickly stroked it, singing: "@#%#&――&#%#-"

"What is he singing?" the crowd looked at each other for a moment, unable to understand what he was singing in a strange and rambling voice, but Jessica grinned toothily and lay down on her sun lounger. Scarlett smiled and asked, "Is this Chinese?" Zachary frowned and said, "No, it should be Russian?" Looking at his intoxicated appearance, Rachel suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Jan, are you playing and singing casually?"

Wang Yang nodded solemnly and sang: "Well, you guessed it, come!#%@#&-"
