Chapter 11 Water Gun
Song Yang, who had stayed in the garage for more than half a month, was pulled out by Jenny. Today was the day of the baseball league between Devers School and another school in Houston.
After returning to the Greck home, Song Yang packed up, changed his clothes, and came to a baseball field near the Devers School. Jenny almost kept her arm around Song Yang, as if she was declaring her sovereignty to the Devers girls who had come to the stadium.
Ibella, who was sitting with the school cheerleaders, almost bit her teeth to pieces when she saw this scene, but she still had to smile and face the constant gazes directed at the cheerleaders.
Song Yang didn't care about these. He looked towards the baseball field. From a distance, he could hear the roar of coach Old Mark.
Although Song Yang's current condition makes it difficult for him to play in the game, he still has basic vision. On the field, the situation is very unfavorable for the Devers School baseball team. Originally, they had Song Yang's support. No matter how strong they were, at least they had a pitcher, but now they are almost suppressed.
Not to mention old Mark, all the Devers students who came to watch the game were cursing.
Old Mark looked at Song Yang who was sitting on the sidelines with an unpleasant expression. If Song Yang was on the field at this time, the game would not be so ugly. If the game continued like this, Old Mark would doubt whether Devers would still have a school baseball team after this year.
"Song!"
At this time, at the side of the baseball field, where Devers students gathered, there was a sudden burst of shouting of Song Yang's name. Of course, most of them were girls, who wanted Song Yang to play in the game.
Seeing many people looking at him, Song Yang took his arm around Jenny, with an angry and helpless expression on his face. He seemed helpless about not being able to play for Devers. He also patted his head with his hand, looking very painful.
Stanton, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He turned around and saw many people looking at him angrily. Stanton didn't know how he had offended so many people!
Stanton was made to take the blame again. It was not that Song Yang was unwilling to play and help Devers win the game. It was all Stanton's fault for injuring Song Yang. Anyway, Stanton was bound to take the blame for Song Yang's regretful retirement from the baseball field.
The game was basically a foregone conclusion. Although the biggest score difference was not created, the final score of 22 to 5 still made old Mark somewhat embarrassed.
At the end of the game, Stanton could clearly feel that there was something wrong with the way Old Mark looked at him.
After the game, Song Yang went to say hello to Old Mark, but Song Yang flatly refused Old Mark's request to return to the baseball team for emergency help. Not to mention that he is currently busy with the Double Click Advertising Company, the key point is that if he goes back and performs poorly on the field, it will not be Stanton who will be scolded, but Song Yang.
After coming out of the baseball field, Jenny finally pulled Song Yang to the street. Naturally, she would not let Song Yang leave, so she pulled Song Yang to the street.
During this period, everyone was on edge. After finally getting out, Song Yang accompanied Jenny for a walk on the street, had a dessert, and then went into the cinema.
As the most mainstream entertainment consumption activity nowadays, movies are basically in their golden age all over the world, not to mention America, which has Hollywood. In recent years, many blockbusters that have gone down in film history have been produced.
Song Yang and Jenny arrived at the cinema and saw a lot of movie posters. Even though it wasn't the summer season yet, there were already a lot of them. In the most conspicuous position in the cinema was this year's epic blockbuster "Waterworld".
In addition, a number of other movies are also eyeing the release date, including Batman, Braveheart, Heat, Die Hard 3, "Seven Deadly Sins" starring Brad Pitt, the current Hollywood male star with the highest appearance, and several animated films including Toy Story, all of which are ready to go.
Song Yang also saw a movie poster in the corner. When he saw the man on the poster, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What on earth made him go from the man in the poster, who was crazily pursued by thousands of women around the world, to a man who was spraying water guns on the beach...
After taking a look at "The Edge of Tomorrow" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Song Yang realized that this movie was a low-budget film and most of the ticket buyers were girls.
Jenny looked around and finally picked "The Bridges of Madison County", which is said to be a classic love movie of the century and made people with a certain outlook on life question their own.
In the screening room, Song Yang couldn't see the expressions of the other men, but many girls, including Jenny, were in tears, and some were crying loudly.
When they left the theater, Jenny was still telling Song Yang about the plot of the movie, and then suddenly said, "I wish I could have Meryl's acting skills someday."
"Song, do you think Meryl can win the Oscar for Best Actress this year for The Bridges of Madison County?" Jenny asked Song Yang. Jenny, who had just come out of the cinema and hadn't come to her senses yet, probably regarded Meryl as the ceiling of actresses' acting skills.
"There should be a chance," Song Yang said vaguely to Jenny, "Whether or not we can win an Oscar depends on the operation of the film company and the opinion of the Oscar Committee!"
Not to mention the Oscars, which are always full of surprises, with all kinds of ways to win awards. The Oscar committee has always been conservative. The key point is that it's not decades later now, and people's values are not so explosive. It's not easy for this movie to get an Oscar nomination, and it's impossible to win the award.
Jenny, who has not really entered the art and film and television industry, is still somewhat unfamiliar with this industry. She doesn't know how to play in this industry, and she was a little confused when she heard Song Yang's words.
Song Yang returned to the small garage and continued to get busy. Seeing the funds being burned out bit by bit, how could Song Yang not be anxious?
"According to the current progress, it is expected to be completed next month!" Jaden felt the excitement of escaping from a cage.
The reason why it is an estimate rather than a certainty is that Jaden doesn't know how many more requests and corrections Song Yang will make. That is the source of pain. Working hard to code line by line, and then being asked to erase it personally, this kind of pain can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
DoubleClick Advertising's DART advertising delivery system and the patented technologies that Song Yang asked him to create are all made up of massive amounts of code. You should know that the current mainstream software codes only have tens of thousands of lines, or even less. For example, the Mosaic Browser, the predecessor of Netscape Navigator, has only nine thousand lines of code, which is really concise and powerful.
Looking at Song Yang who suddenly fell into deep thought, Jaden felt the joy of escaping death. He swore that after leaving this broken garage, he would never set foot here again!
Song Yang was lost in thought as to how to promote Double Click Advertising Company and this system. Now was not the later era, so even if he wanted to spend money on promotion, it would not be so easy.
Today's Internet software is still in its initial stage. Let's put it this way, if you want to download any software in the future, browsers, software stores, and major software programs will all provide download channels.
But now it is different. The browser is almost the only channel connecting computer users to the Internet. However, there is no channel on the computer to download the browser. You need to spend money to buy a hard drive and then install the drive on the hard drive to the computer. You can imagine how troublesome it is.
Song Yang was a little troubled for a while, but now there are only a few famous websites such as Netscape, and Song Yang can only find them for cooperation, but he needs an opportunity.
Looking through the latest issue of "Wired" magazine, although it has only been established for two years, when the Internet was not yet popular, "Wired" magazine already had a significant influence in the technology industry and became a pioneer in Internet culture.
This year, some people even compared it to the Rolling Stones, the band that led the music trends in the 1960s.
Song Yang flipped through a few pages and suddenly sat up straight. What caught Song Yang's attention were two published reports. The first one was from Kevin Kelly, the founding editor-in-chief of "Wired". In this report, he announced that "Wired" magazine will launch an online version and put its own website and webpage online.
The second piece of news is even more shocking. Netscape, which was established less than 13 months ago, may officially launch public fundraising and sprint to Nasdaq. Its market value may reach a staggering 10 billion US dollars.
This news is shocking enough. You have to know that Netscape is still losing money. It has only been established for a year, but now it is going to go public. This speed has far exceeded Microsoft, which was considered the representative of technology in the past.
Song Yang looked at the issue of "Wired" magazine in his hand for a long time. It was not until it was dark and the lights in the garage came on that Song Yang suddenly stood up.
"You can go back and rest early today. I'm going to go out tomorrow and may not be back for a few days. Jayden, what you have to do is to complete this system as soon as possible!"
After saying something to Bledsoe Jaden, Song Yang left in a hurry, taking the magazine with him.
When Song Yang hurried back to Greg's house, as soon as he opened the door, everyone in the house looked at Song Yang. There was actually a small family gathering being held here. Song Yang saw that everyone present were members of the surrounding neighborhood, and some acquaintances.
Seeing so many people, Song Yang quickly tidied up his messy clothes and greeted everyone. Many people looked at Song Yang with smiles in their eyes, treating him as a reckless young man.
Song Yang saw many familiar faces, including Dr. Bri who examined Song Yang that day. Most of the people present today were of Italian descent. Although Greg did not follow the old-fashioned idea that Italians only live in communities dominated by Italians, he could not help but interact more with Italians.
"I heard from Greg that your motor nerves are affected. I think a detailed examination is needed!" Bri said to Song Yang after seeing him.
"I'll go get checked, but I have something important to do now," Song Yang said, looking at Greg, "I need to talk now!"
Greg looked at Song Yang several times, nodded, said a few words to Brie and others, then got up and went upstairs with Song Yang.
