Chapter 232: The Ten

Hanging up Natalie's call, Ryan returns home, and has just entered the villa when the phone rings again.

"Ryan, I'm Jerry, it's been almost a week since your personal website was opened, you always have to upload something, right?"

As early as Christmas Eve, Yahoo's personal website, which was specially made for him, appeared prominently on Yahoo's homepage, but during that time, Ryan and Nicole were busy with public relations and threw the matter to the back of their minds.

"Oh, sorry, Jerry, I forgot." Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Well, Jerry, I'll go over and have a look." ”

Back in the room, Ryan opened his notebook and entered Yahoo's homepage, where he found a tool called 'Ryan? Jenkins' personal website.

It's a very elaborate personal page with pictures of Ryan, his work and his time in Hollywood, as well as a message board.

I don't know which Yahoo designer came up with the idea, but this message board clearly has the flavor of a web log, not only can fans leave comments on it, but Ryan's entries will also be automatically pinned.

At this point, there was already quite a bit of information on the message board.

"Is this really Ryan's personal website?"

"It should be, otherwise it will be infringing, and besides, Ryan is the second largest shareholder of Yahoo."

"Why did he never show up? It's like this website he can write some kind of web diary or something. ”

"Call Ryan!"

"Ryan is very busy, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to surf the Internet, right? I've heard a friend in the entertainment media mention that he's writing a script called "The Peerless Tribulation." ”

"Peerless Tribulation? Do you know what's going on? ”

"I don't care about that, I'll buy tickets to watch Ryan's works anyway, I want to ask Ryan, after the Harry Potter series, aren't you going to write another novel? And also. When will Harry Potter be brought to the big screen like Jurassic Park? ”

"Hey, it's been a week since this site was launched, and Ryan hasn't shown up yet? Did he never go online? ”

"Ryan is coming out ......"

After roughly scanning the information on the message board, Ryan shook his head, and then Jinsley's team had another task, of course, if he had time, he would also write something on it, upload some personal pictures, etc.

Flipping through his notebook, Ryan found a couple of specially processed photos with Nicole. I uploaded it to the website, and then I typed down a few lines of text.

"I'm Ryan? Jenkins, this is Yahoo's personal website for me, and I've been too busy lately. I didn't have time to come over and take a look until today and uploaded a few pictures. It was a group photo of me and Nicole in our daily lives. Prove it out! ”

"I looked through everyone's messages a little and chose a few questions to answer, "The Peerless Tribulation" is a science fiction film, as for the movie version of Harry Potter, it will take a while, and the novel, I will focus on the movie in the near future. The novel can only be abandoned for the time being. ”

"That's it, I'll come back tomorrow."

For three days in a row, Ryan uploaded some photos from his life and also answered several questions from fans. The website became popular in an instant, and by the way, Yahoo's traffic skyrocketed.

This effect is directly reflected in the stock market, Yahoo's stock has been rising, and when Ryan left messages on his personal website, the stock rose sharply, making Yahoo's market value soar.

"Opening a personal website for Ryan is the best decision since Yahoo was founded, just like accepting his investment in the first place!" This was the last time Yahoo boarded, Jerry? What Yang said.

"Ryan? The popularity of Jenkinston's "Cat and Mouse Game" quickly recovered, and he became more attractive when he grew up, and it was with the help of Ryan's strong appeal that Yahoo once again made efforts to become the hegemon of the Internet. ”

-- The Wall Street Journal

At a time when the Internet was just starting to take hold, and many Hollywood stars hadn't yet realized the value, Ryan's personal website undoubtedly provided a great way for them to expand their reach and communicate directly with their fans.

In the following year, many celebrities opened their own personal web pages, which can also be regarded as the butterfly effect brought by Ryan.

…………

Entering Mr. Zhou's restaurant, Ryan quickly found the location of the target, and immediately walked towards the secluded partition, Charlize? Theron was sitting there, flipping through a fashion magazine.

"Hey, Charlie." Ryan beckoned to her and sat down across from her.

"Ryan, you're finally here." Charlize? Theron had just the right amount of small complaints on her face, and instead of being offensive, she would have been found unusually kind.

"I'm sorry, Charlie, for keeping you waiting." Ryan explained, "I just had a date, and I was a little delayed. ”

"Dating?" Charlize? Theron asked curiously, "Can you know which young lady it is?" Can you get a date with you? ”

"Miss?" Ryan just wanted to roll his eyes, but suddenly realized that it was neither Nicole nor Natalie sitting opposite, and quickly stopped, "It's a man......"

"Men?" Charlize? Theron suddenly laughed, and Ryan sensed the ambiguity in his words, and hurriedly added, "Me and Steven? Soderbergh talks about the film aspect. ”

"Could it be the "Peerless Tribulation" that was rumored in the circle?" Charlize was first curious, then puzzled, "It's said that this is a science fiction film, and Mr. Soderbergh's style ......"

"Not that." In just over a week, pie? Kingsley has already spread the script, "I asked Steven to come here for Nicole's new movie. ”

"Oh."

Charlize was very clever and didn't continue to ask.

Like Ryan said, he just met Steven at Jenkins Pictures before he returned to Beverly Hills? Soderbergh, the two sides discussed "Irene? A verbal agreement was reached on Brockwich, and preparations began as soon as his script was completed.

"The taste of Chinese food is really good." Charlize? Theron took a small bite to eat a modified version of the drunken shrimp, "No wonder you come here so often." ”

Whether it was a few years ago or now, the fact that Ryan often comes here to eat has long been reported by the paparazzi, coupled with the secret promotion of Mr. Zhou's restaurant, many people know that there is such a restaurant in Beverly Hills, which can attract Ryan and other celebrities.

"Your South African food is just as good." Ryan wasn't a compliment, and he was really impressed by the meal on the pie.

"If you have time, you can always go to my place and taste it." Charlize? Theron sent out a vague invitation.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go." Ryan said politely.

The two chatted while eating, talking about the whole world, sometimes talking about interesting stories in the entertainment industry, and sometimes talking about the beautiful scenery of Africa or Europe.

"Well, then, that's all for today, Charlie, and I'll get back to you another day."

After looking at the time, Ryan was ready to take his leave, Charlize? Theron's eyes burned and he suddenly asked, "I heard you like football very much?" ”

"It's fine." Ryan nodded.

"I have two tickets here." Charlize took the ticket out of his handbag and placed it on the table, "LA Galaxy vs. Sandy, Utah, the game is about two hours away. ”

"Major League Soccer?" Although he doesn't care much about football, Ryan also knows that the United States has its own top professional football league since this year.

"Uh-huh~"

Charlize smiled brightly at the corners of her mouth, revealing the beauty of South African diamonds.

"That'...... All right. "Ryan made ninety-nine percent of the man's choices.

Sitting in the stands at the Rose Bowl Stadium and looking at the unfamiliar group of players below, Ryan wondered if the decision to come here was the right one.

"Wow, shoot! Hurry~ Oh, God! ”

Compared to Ryan, Charlize next to her seemed extremely excited, and surprisingly, she could understand football.

"That number 10 shot was outrageous." Ryan shook his head and lowered the brim of his hat a little more.

"God, as long as this goal goes in, the Galaxy will be in complete control." Charlize was still there complaining.

In a stadium that can seat 100,000 people, there are less than 10,000 spectators sitting on the side of the main stand, which seems unusually empty, and as the game progresses, the little football cells that Ryan has almost forgotten gradually wake up, and he begins to shout with the crowd, sometimes high-fives with Charlize, and occasionally angrily rebuke the referee's decision.

The stadium's stands are undoubtedly a great place to reduce the distance between them.

"Penalty! Penalty kick! ”

As the referee's whistle blew, a Galaxy player collapsed in the opposing penalty area, and Ryan and Charlize stood up from their seats together, waving their arms and shouting loudly.

β€œYes!”

When the referee pointed his finger at the penalty spot, the two slapped their palms hard, and before they could be happy, the Galaxy's number ten had already kicked the penalty into an anti-aircraft gun.

"Oh, God!"

Charlize let out a grief and buried his pretty face in Ryan's shoulder in disappointment, "That number ten is a piece of waste!" ”

"Replace him, replace him!" Ryan shouted a few times, feeling that it was not enjoyable enough, so he simply threw the energy drink in his hand down the stands, "If I were the boss!" Will definitely fire you! Definitely! ”

After saying that, Ryan wanted to snatch the drink bottle from Charlize's hand again, "When that guy comes over again, I must hit him in the head!" ”

"Nope." The corners of Charlize's mouth raised, "This time it's me!" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, that number ten is coming, it's him, he must be hit! A fool who will only waste opportunities! Ryan reminded Charlize as he rolled his hands into a horn and shouted vigorously, "Hurry up and come over on the Tenth, we have a gift for you!" ”

"Yes, come here." Charlize hugged one of Ryan's arms and shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
