Rebirth In Hollywood

Hanging up Natalie's phone, Ryan returned home, and just entered the villa, the phone rang again.

"Ryan, I'm Jerry. It's been almost a week since you launched your personal website. You have to upload something, right?"

As early as Christmas Eve, Yahoo's personal website specially made for him appeared in a prominent position on Yahoo's homepage, but at that time Ryan and Nicole were busy with the PR party and put this matter to the back of his mind.

"Oh, sorry, Jerry, I forgot." Ryan thought for a moment, then said, "Well, Jerry, I'll go take a look."

Back in the room, Ryan opened his notebook and entered Yahoo's homepage, where he easily found an entry called 'Ryan Jenkins Personal Website'.

This is a very elaborate personal web page, with not only pictures of Ryan, but also a detailed introduction to his works and his entry into Hollywood, as well as a message board.

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

At this point, there is already a lot of information on the message board.

"Is this really Ryan's personal website?"

"It should be, otherwise it will be an infringement. Besides, Ryan is Yahoo's second largest shareholder."

"Why did he never show up? It seems like this website he can write some web diaries or something."

"Calling Ryan!"

"Ryan is very busy, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to surf the Internet? I heard from a friend in the entertainment media that he is writing a script called "Peerless Catastrophe"."

"Peerless catastrophe? Do you know the specific content?"

"I don't care about these, anyway, I will buy tickets to watch Ryan's works. I want to ask Ryan, are you not going to write novels after the Harry Potter series? Also, Harry Potter When is it going to hit the big screen like Jurassic Park?"

"Huh. It's been a week since the website opened, and Ryan hasn't shown up yet? Does he never go online?"

"Ryan come out soon..."

After roughly scanning the information on the message board, Ryan shook his head. In the future, Kingsley's team has another task, of course.

When he has time, he will also write something on it, upload some personal pictures, etc.

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

"I'm Ryan Jenkins. This is a personal website that Yahoo made for me. I've been so busy lately that I didn't have time to come and check it out until today. I uploaded a few pictures. It's a group photo of me and Nicole in our daily life. , this is the proof!"

"I read everyone's messages a little, and chose a few questions to answer. "Peerless Catastrophe" is a science fiction film. As for the movie version of Harry Potter, it will take a while. There are also novels, In the near future, I will focus on movies, and novels can only be temporarily abandoned."

"Just come here, I will continue to come tomorrow."

For three days in a row, Ryan posted some photos from his life. He also answered a few questions from fans, and the website became popular in an instant, which by the way led to a surge in Yahoo's traffic.

This effect is directly reflected in the stock market. Yahoo's stock has been rising. When Ryan left a message on his personal website, the stock rose sharply, which made Yahoo's market value go up a lot.

"Opening a personal website for Ryan is the same as accepting his investment, which is the most correct decision since the establishment of Yahoo!" This is what Jerry Yang said at a recent Yahoo board meeting.

"Ryan Jenkins quickly regained his popularity through the popularity of "The Game of Cats and Mouse", and he is more attractive when he grows up. The trend of hegemony, such a powerful alliance, has brought about a new boom in the Internet!"

--The Wall Street Journal

At this time, the Internet was just becoming popular, and many Hollywood stars had not yet realized the value of it. Ryan's personal website undoubtedly provided them with a good way to expand their influence and communicate directly with their fans.

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

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

"Hey, Charlie." Ryan waved to her and sat opposite.

"Ryan, you're finally here." Charlize Theron's face showed just the right little complaint, not only would it not make people feel disgusted, but it would make her feel very kind.

"Sorry, Charlie, for keeping you waiting." Ryan explained, "I just had an appointment, and it took a little time."

"Date?" Charlize Theron asked curiously, "Can I know who the lady is? Can I even get the chance to date you?"

"Miss?" Ryan was about to roll his eyes when he suddenly realized that neither Nicole nor Natalie was sitting across from him, so he stopped quickly, "It's a man..."

"Men?" Charlize Theron suddenly laughed, and Ryan felt the ambiguity in his words, and quickly added, "I talked to Steven Soderbergh about movies."

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

"It's not that one." In just over a week, Pie Kingsley has spread the script, "I invited Steven to film for Nicole's new movie."

"Oh."

Charlize was very smart and did not continue to ask.

As Ryan said, before he returned to Beverly Hills, he had just met Steven Soderbergh at Jenkins Pictures, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement on the matter of "Eileen Brockovich", only After his script was completed, related preparations began.

"The taste of Chinese food is really good." Charlize Theron nibbled at the improved version of drunken shrimp. "No wonder you often come here to eat."

Whether it was a few years ago or now, the paparazzi have already reported on Ryan's frequent dining here. Coupled with the secret promotion of Mr. Zhou's restaurant, many people know that there is such a restaurant in Beverly Hills. , can attract the patronage of stars such as Ryan.

"You cook South African food just as well." Ryan wasn't a compliment, but he was impressed by the meal at the party.

"If you have time, you can come and taste at my place at any time." Charlize Theron issued a vague invitation.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go." Ryan said politely.

The two chatted while eating, and the topics were all over the world. Sometimes they talked about anecdotes in the entertainment industry, and sometimes they talked about the beauty of Africa or Europe.

"Then let's be here today, Charlie, and I'll call you back another day."

After looking at the time, Ryan was about to leave. Charlize Theron, with bright eyes, suddenly asked, "I heard that you like football very much?"

"It's okay." Ryan nodded.

"I have two tickets here." Charlize took out the tickets from his handbag and put them on the table, "The game between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Utah Sandy is probably more than 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 starting this year.

"Hmm~"

Charlize's mouth showed a bright smile, showing the style of South African diamonds.

"Then... all right." Ryan made 99% of the men's choices.

Sitting in the stands of the Rose Bowl Stadium, watching a group of unfamiliar players below, Ryan doubted whether the decision to come here was the right one.

"Wow, shoot! Come on~ Oh, God!"

Compared to Ryan, Charlize next to him looked very excited, and unexpectedly, she could understand football.

"That No. 10 shot was outrageous." Ryan shook his head and lowered his hat a bit.

"God, as long as this ball is scored, the Galaxy will completely control the situation." Charlize was still there complaining.

In the stadium that can seat 100,000 people, there were less than 10,000 spectators sitting on the main stand, which seemed unusually empty. He started shouting with the crowd, sometimes high-fiving Charlize, and occasionally ranting about the referee's decision.

The stands of the stadium are undoubtedly a good place to close the distance between each other.

"Penalty! Penalty!"

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

"Yes!"

When the referee pointed his finger to the penalty spot, the two clapped their palms hard, and before they were happy, the No. 10 of the Galaxy team had already kicked the penalty kick into an anti-aircraft gun.

"Oh, God!"

Charlize groaned and buried her pretty face on Ryan's shoulder in disappointment, "That number ten is a piece of trash!"

"Replace him, replace him!" Ryan shouted a few times, feeling that it was not enjoyable enough, and simply threw the energy drink in his hand from the stand, "If I were the boss! I will definitely fire you! Definitely!"

After that, Ryan wanted to grab the drink bottle in Charlize's hand again, "When that guy comes over again, I will definitely hit him in the head!"

"No." The corners of Charlize's mouth lifted, "This time it's me!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, that No. 10 is here, it's him, you must hit it! A fool who will only waste opportunities!" Ryan reminded Charlize, and rolled his hands into a horn, shouting forcefully, " Come here on the tenth, we have a present for you!"

"Yes, come here." Charlize shouted, hugging Ryan's arm. ()
