Yang Yi didn't stay in Xiangxi for too long. Zhu Luyan's connections were still strong. In just two days, Wang Desheng and the other related personnel had been investigated. The only pity was that the money that Ding Xiang had donated previously had been squandered away. Although they could still get some of it back, it was impossible to return it to Ding Xiang.
However, Ding Xiang wasn't sad because it was a blessing in disguise. Although she had lost her money, with the help of Yang Yi and Zhu Luyan, Baiyao Village's Hope Primary School was reopened.
It used the original location of the primary school, but it was funded by the Hope Primary School project. They invited Teacher Li Yongheng, who was willing to teach, and two other private teachers from the village to teach the children. Moreover, the Hope Primary School project would regularly invite some university volunteers to interact with the children and help them broaden their horizons.
Ding Xiang didn't need to use her own money to subsidize the school anymore. Yang Yi had paid for it. Of course, Yang Yi also told Ding Xiang that if Ding Xiang really earned money in the future, she was welcome to donate to the Hope Primary School project. This was his personal charity!
It was worth mentioning that the Hope Primary School project was now very big. Not only did Yang Yi donate a little money every month, but after it became famous, the donations from society had also increased a lot. Zhu Luyan and the rest also had more ability to help more children.
Guo Ziyi really couldn't help much throughout the entire process because he was sick.
This guy was still too stubborn. With his physical fitness, it was impossible for him to climb up the mountain. However, he still puffed himself up at his own cost. No, he was a fatty to begin with. After forcing himself to climb up the mountain, Guo Ziyi collapsed from exhaustion. While Yang Yi and the rest were busy surveying the terrain and analyzing countermeasures, little comrade Guo was lying on the bed, comfortably enjoying Ding Xiang's care.
Of course, Guo Ziyi wasn't so thick-skinned. He struggled to promise Ding Xiang that when he returned to Rivertown, he would definitely get someone to send a batch of books, stationery, school bags, and so on to the children in the village. He wasn't here to be a burden. He would definitely make his own contributions!
Yang Yi left with Guo Ziyi first because they still had to go back to shoot the movie. They had already delayed the crew for a few days, so they could not continue to be carefree outside.
Ding Xiang waited for a few more days. After confirming that there would be no more problems this time, she left with peace of mind. She and Yang Huan set off again. According to their original plan, they were going to the capital as extras to gain experience.
When Yang Yi and the others left, the sound of people studying in White King Stronghold could already be heard clearly. This little stronghold nestled deep in the mountains seemed to radiate with a joyous vitality.
…
Time passed by quickly, and July passed by amidst all sorts of disturbances.
The filming of 'The Fugitive' went relatively smoothly. Even though it was delayed for a few days because of Yang Yi's incident, Du Yuanlei took the opportunity to film the scenes without Ludi, so the progress wasn't delayed. It was estimated that the filming would be completed by mid-August.
There was progress on the copyright transfer of Yang Yi's other work, 'Prison Break'. Woolf TV Station showed enough sincerity. Not only did they present their filming plan to Yang Yi's negotiation team, they also offered a good profit sharing condition.
To show their sincerity, they also sent a team to visit China, including the director who would be directing "Prison Break," Palton Yee. The director was very interested in "Prison Break," and he wanted to meet Yang Yi face to face so that he could understand the original author's thoughts and restore the details of the story to the greatest extent.
"Palton Yi? With the surname 'Yi', he's Chinese, right? "Yang Yi curiously asked Lu Benjie, who came to tell him the news.
Yang Yi was not familiar with the directors in this world. He knew a little about the domestic directors, but as for the foreign directors, he only knew a few names that often appeared in the newspapers. He did not pay much attention to the rest.
"Yes, Mr. Yi is an American Chinese, but he looks more like a Caucasian. It is said that his mother is German." Lu Benjie looked at his notebook and reported.
"What's his background? What works has he filmed?" Yang Yi was more concerned about this question.
Lu Benjie told Yang Yi that Director Palton Yi actually had a lot of works. There were movies and TV series. His masterpiece was' Criminal Thoughts', a famous crime drama. It mainly told the story of a police team composed of behavioral analysis experts. They used their psychological knowledge to analyze the thoughts of criminals and solve difficult cases.
"I seem to have heard of this TV series. It's quite famous, and it seems to have won a lot of awards." Yang Yi's memory was triggered. He seemed to have seen the introduction of this TV series.
"Yes, this TV series has won a lot of awards after it started filming, including the highest award in the TV industry, the Amy Award." Lu Benjie said to Yang Yi.
This means that Palton Yi does have some real talent. Moreover, he is filming a crime drama. It should be easier for him to film 'Prison Break'. Yang Yi was interested in him. He decided to watch his TV series before meeting him. He wanted to see if he could meet his expectations.
… …
In August, Backwave's Facebook launched a web game called 'Friendship Ranch'. Although the game was added to the Facebook page, it did not exist in the form of a plug-in. There was no need to download or install it. One only needed to click on a button inside the Facebook page to log in to the game.
In order to promote this web-based game, Yang Yi personally wrote an advertising slogan for it in the micro-broadcast advertisement: "The boat of friendship capsizes easily. Please cherish your friendship and be careful when stealing vegetables."
The first sentence was indeed from an internet celebrity in his previous life. Under Backwave's secret promotion, this sentence became popular all over the country within a few days. It was even used flexibly by a large number of netizens.
For example, two good friends on the boat of friendship. One of them suddenly lost weight, and the boat of friendship capsized. Or two good friends on the boat of friendship took a photo together, and the boat of friendship capsized if they only photoshopped the photo …
For a while, the jokes on Microbroadcasting were flying everywhere. At the same time, the game 'Friendship Ranch' entered the sights of many people.
Of course, 'Friendship Ranch' was not very popular in the beginning. Only a small number of netizens who wanted to try it opened it.
However, once they opened it, it was as if they were possessed. It was difficult for them to get rid of it.
Planting vegetables, weeding, these simple operations of the game were nothing new. What made them crazy was that they could steal other people's vegetables and even release bugs as pranks!
A strange desire was satisfied. The netizens who started playing the game gradually became addicted.
The few friends who played the game on Facebook were no longer enough to satisfy their needs. Therefore, more and more people joined in and became addicted to the game.
The number of registrations on Facebook increased greatly. Microbroadcasting accounts could be used universally. More and more people registered on Facebook and joined the game of stealing vegetables. There were even people who set their alarms to play the game in the middle of the night in order to steal vegetables.
This almost became a social phenomenon!
Almost in the city, out of ten people around you, five of them would steal vegetables. They would talk about stealing vegetables with relish when they went to work.
The media couldn't help but report on this simple but explosive magical game.
What made it so popular?
Some people guessed that it was because it was simple and easy to play.
Some people thought that it was because stealing vegetables satisfied people's greed to steal.
Others guessed that it was because of its interactive nature. One could interact with friends, friends on the Internet, and friends in real life. Naturally, it increased the game's playability.
Here, the media even used a professional term put forward by a university professor: "weak interaction." Unlike other "strong interaction" games, Friendship Farm did not require friends to be online at the same time. This reduced a lot of inconvenience and made it convenient for people to play the game anytime and anywhere.
However, although Friendship Farm became popular, Yang Yi did not feel optimistic. This was because he saw that although the number of registrations on Facebook that was tied to Friendship Farm had increased, the user's stickiness was not high. When people played the game on Facebook, they rarely posted their thoughts on it, or wrote some diaries or uploaded some photos.
Their joy or complaints about stealing vegetables were all posted on Microbroadcasting.
Yang Yi got someone to create a one-click sharing function for ranking results. Both Facebook and Microbroadcasting could be chosen.
However, very few people directly shared it on Facebook. They even patiently waited for the jump to Microbroadcasting to post their results.
"It looks like Microbroadcasting needs to be developed, not Facebook. We need to develop a mobile app for Microbroadcasting as soon as possible." Yang Yi knew some of the development trajectories. However, he did not expect that a social networking site like Facebook would not be able to develop in China. "When Friendship Farm's popularity drops, Facebook's popularity will drop as well. It's time to consider SNS's offer and cash in on this project while it's still popular. That should be the best choice! "
SNS's position was similar to Yang Yi's QQ in his previous life. They were both leaders in the chat software industry. They had always been eyeing Yang Yi's Facebook and wanted to turn it into an SNS space. However, Yang Yi had set up professional barriers. Therefore, SNS could only propose an acquisition.
This acquisition had been in the works for a long time. When Microbroadcasting started to become popular last year, SNS had been eyeing it. Of course, the wealthy SNS wanted to acquire both Microbroadcasting and Facebook. However, Yang Yi would never sell off Microbroadcasting. Now, Facebook was still a possibility.
Just nice, with the success of "Friendship Farm", Facebook became popular. Compared to before, SNS's desire for Facebook would be greater. Yang Yi would also be able to cash in more!
Of course, Yang Yi would also hold back. He had registered the copyright of Facebook overseas and only sold the Chinese version of Facebook to SNS. Yang Yi did not have time to care about the Chinese version of Facebook. He might sell it again, and the price would not be so simple!
