Chapter 232 that number ten
Hanging up Natalie's phone, Ryan returned home, just as he entered the villa, his cell phone rang again.
"Ryan, I'm Jerry. Your personal website has been open for almost a week. Do you always have to upload something, right?"
As early as Christmas Eve, a personal website specially made by Yahoo for him appeared in a prominent position on Yahoo's homepage, but during that time Ryan and Nicole were busy with public relations parties and threw this matter behind their heads.
"Oh, sorry, Jerry, I forgot." Ryan said after thinking for a while, "Let's do it, Jerry, I'll go over and take a look."
Back in the room, Ryan opened his notebook, entered Yahoo's homepage, and easily found an entry called "Ryan Jenkins' personal website".
This is a very exquisitely produced personal web page, which not only contains pictures of Ryan, but also detailed introductions of his works and since entering Hollywood, but also has a message board.
I don’t know which designer comes from the idea of Yahoo. This message board clearly has the flavor of online logs. Not only can fans leave messages on it, but the entries posted by Ryan will also be automatically topped.
At this time, there was already a lot of information on the message board.
"Is this really Ryan's personal website?"
"It should be true, otherwise there will be infringement. Besides, Ryan is Yahoo's second largest shareholder."
"Why has he never appeared? It seems that he can write online diaries and other things on this website."
"Call Ryan!"
"Ryan is very busy and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to go online? I heard from a friend who works in entertainment media that he is writing a script called "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation".
"Perfect Heavenly Tribulation? Do you know the specific content?"
"I don't care about these things. Anyway, I will buy tickets to watch Ryan's works. I want to ask Ryan, after the Harry Potter series, are you not going to write novels? Also, when will Harry Potter be brought to the big screen like "Jurassic Park"?"
"Hey, this website has been open for a week, and Ryan hasn't appeared yet? Did he never go online?"
"Ryan is coming out..."
After roughly scanning the message board, Ryan shook his head. In the future, Jinsli's team had another task. Of course, if he had time, he would write something on it, upload some private pictures, etc.
After flipping through the notebook, Ryan found several photos of Nicole that he had specially processed. He uploaded them to the website, and then he typed a few lines of text.
"I am Ryan Jenkins, this is a personal website created by Yahoo for me. I have been too busy recently and I have not had time to come and take a look until today. I uploaded a few pictures, which are photos of Nicole and I in daily life, as evidence!"
"I read everyone's comments and chose a few questions to answer. "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation" is a science fiction film. As for the Harry Potter movie version, it will take some time to wait, and there are novels. I will focus on the movies in the near future, and I can only give up the novel for the time being."
"Just get here, I will continue to come tomorrow."
For three consecutive days, Ryan uploaded some photos of his life and answered several questions from his fans. The website became popular instantly, which led to a surge in Yahoo's traffic.
This effect is directly reflected in the stock market. Yahoo's stock is always rising. After Ryan leaves messages on his personal website, the stock has risen sharply, causing Yahoo's market value to rise a lot.
"Opening a personal website for Ryan is just like accepting his investment, and it is the most correct decision after Yahoo's establishment!" This is what Jerry Yang said at the recent Yahoo board meeting.
"Ryan Jenkins quickly regained his popularity through the hit "Cat and Mouse Game". Moreover, he became more charming when he grew up. It was precisely because of Ryan's strong appeal that Yahoo made another effort and had a trend of becoming an Internet overlord. Such a powerful alliance has brought a new Internet boom!"
——Wall Street Journal
The Internet was just now popular, and many Hollywood stars had not yet realized the value. 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 have 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 where he was and immediately walked towards the quiet partition. Charlize Theron was sitting there, looking through a fashion magazine.
"Hey, Charlie." Ryan waved to her and sat opposite him.
"Ryan, you're finally here." Charlize Theron showed a perfect little complaint on his face. Not only would it not make people disgusted, but it would feel that she was extremely friendly.
"Sorry, Charlie, I've kept you waiting for a long time," Ryan explained, "I just had a date, and it took a little time."
"Date?" Charlize Theron asked curiously, "Can you know which lady it is? You can actually get a date with you?"
"Miss?" Ryan was about to roll his eyes when he suddenly realized that it was neither Nicole nor Natalie sitting opposite him, so he stopped quickly, "It's a man..."
"Men?" Charlize Theron suddenly laughed. Only then did Ryan feel the ambiguity in his words and quickly added, "I talked to Steven Soderbergh about some movies."
"Is it the "Perfect Heavenly Tribulation" that is circulated in the circle?" Charlize was first curious, then confused, "It is said that this is a science fiction film, Mr. Soderbergh's style..."
"Not that." In just over a week, Pie Kinsley had spread the script, "I invite Steven to come to watch Nicole's new movie."
"oh."
Charlize was very smart and didn't keep asking.
As Ryan said, before he returned to Beverly Hills, he had just met Steven Soderbergh at Jenkins Films. Both sides reached an oral agreement on "Irene Brockevich" and began the relevant preparations after his script was completed.
"The Chinese food tastes really good." Charlize Theron stuttered in a modified version of the drunk shrimp. "No wonder you often come here to eat."
Whether it was a few years ago or now, the fact that Ryan often came here to eat has been reported by paparazzi. Coupled with the secret promotion of Mr. Zhou’s restaurant, many people know that there is such a restaurant in Beverly Hills that can attract the patronage of celebrities such as Ryan.
"The South African food you make is just as good." Ryan is not a compliment, and he was really impressed by the meal at that party.
"If you have time, you can go to my place to taste it." Charlize Theron sent out a vague invitation.
"If you have the chance, you will definitely go." Ryan politely said.
The two of them talked about the topics, sometimes they talked about interesting news in the entertainment industry, and sometimes they talked about the beautiful scenery of Africa or Europe.
"So, let's get here today, Charlie, I'll ask you back someday."
After looking at the time, Ryan was about to say goodbye. Charlize Theron had a bright look and suddenly asked, "I heard you like football very much?"
"It's okay." Ryan nodded.
"I have two tickets here." Charlize took the tickets from his handbag and placed them on the table. "The game will probably start over two hours with the Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Sandy, Utah."
"Major League of American Professional Football?" Although he is not very concerned about football, Ryan also knows that the United States has its own top professional football league since this year.
"Hmm~"
A bright smile appeared on the corner of Charlize's mouth, showing the style of South African diamonds.
"Then...well." Ryan made the choice of ninety-nine percent of the man.
Sitting in the stands at the Rose Bowl Stadium and looking at a group of strange players below, Ryan was very doubtful that his decision to come here was correct.
"Wow, shoot! Hurry~ Oh, God!"
Compared to Ryan, Charlize next to him seemed extremely excited, and unexpectedly, she could actually understand football.
"That No. 10 shot was so outrageous." Ryan shook his head and pulled the brim down a little.
"God, as long as this ball is shot, the Galaxy will completely control the situation." Charlize was still complaining there.
In the stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people, there were only less than 10,000 spectators sitting on the main stand, which seemed extremely empty. As the game deepened, the little football cell that was almost forgotten by Ryan gradually woke up. He began to shout with the audience, sometimes celebrating Charlize, and occasionally scolding the referee's punishment.
The stands on the court are undoubtedly a good place to narrow the distance between each other.
"Punishment! Penalty!"
As the referee whistle sounded, a Galaxy player fell into the opponent's penalty area. Ryan and Charlize stood up from their seats, waved their arms and shouted loudly.
“Yes!”
When the referee pointed his finger at the penalty spot, the two slapped their palms hard. Before they could be happy, the Galaxy's No. 10 kicked the penalty into an anti-aircraft gun.
"Oh, God!"
Charlize burst into tears and buried his pretty face in disappointment on Ryan's shoulder, "That number ten is a waste!"
"Switch him and replace him!" Ryan shouted a few times, feeling that it was not satisfying enough, so he simply threw the functional drink in his hand off the stands, "If I were the boss, I would definitely dismiss you! I would definitely!"
After saying that, Ryan wanted to grab the drink bottle from Charlize again, "When that guy comes over, I must hit him in the head!"
"No." Charlize's mouth raised, "I'll do it this time!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, that No. 10 is here, he must hit it! A fool who will only waste his chances!" Ryan reminded Charlize, rolled his hands into a trumpet and shouted vigorously, "Come on No. 10, hurry up, we have a gift for you!"
"Yes, come here quickly." Charlize shouted with one of Ryan's arms.
Chapter completed!
