American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

"Why are you here?" Taylor was startled at first, then immediately picked up his thick coat and put it on Ryan.

"Why are you wearing such thin clothes? Aren't you cold? Your nose is frozen red!" Taylor grabbed Ryan's hand and warmed him up.

"I didn't check the weather forecast when I came here." Ryan smiled embarrassedly.

"Where's your assistant? He can't even do such a small thing." Taylor said indignantly.

Assistant...Ryan doesn't dare to bring him here.

"I'll warm you up again." Taylor opened his coat and snuggled into Ryan's arms, transferring his body temperature to Ryan.

"Where are we going, straight back to the hotel?" Erica asked at this time.

"It's late at night, and we can't go anywhere except the hotel." Taylor looked up: "How many days will you stay in New York this time?"

"About a week at the latest." Ryan said. With the new year coming, both of them have finished their work and can take a few days off.

"Then why don't you come home with me, have dinner with my parents, stay in Nashville for two days, and then we can go house hunting, okay?" Taylor made arrangements.

"I'll follow your arrangements." Ryan nodded. They had been staying in different places these days. Besides, apart from the two days of proposal, he hadn't talked much with her parents. He had to go back to her parents' home with Taylor.

In the huge bathtub, a layer of foam floated on the water. Ryan hugged Taylor from behind. Taylor's hair was tied up and clamped with a hairpin. The two were snuggling in a hot bath.

“How’s the TV show going?”

"What about the clothing line?"

“Have you got any ideas for new songs?”

“How much does it cost to expand a nightclub?”

Taylor asked about everything Ryan had done. She remembered it very clearly. It wasn't that she cared about how much money these industries could make, but she was simply concerned.

"Are you short of money? If you don't have enough, ask me." Taylor said suddenly.

Ryan opened his eyes: "The nightclub can provide a lot of liquidity every day, and the income from singles is also very generous. I am not short of money, but I don't know where to spend it."

Taylor turned around and raised his hand to wipe the foam off Ryan's chin: "I'm worried that you're going to expand your business and run out of liquidity."

"How much would that cost?" Ryan laughed. The investment in filming a sitcom is relatively small. Even if the pilot episode had to rebuild the scene, the money spent would only reach seven figures.

As for clothing, the profits alone could cover all expenses and leave Ryan with a lot left over.

In addition to the stable cash flow contributed by the nightclub, the generous income from the singles, and the occasional performances, Ryan is now almost in a state of only income and no expenditure.

"What about you, dear?"

"I can make about 7-8 million this year. My dad knows the exact number. I'll have a tour next year, plus the remaining income from the album, and some endorsements. I think my annual income can easily exceed 10 million. You should praise me."

"That's amazing. If I go bankrupt, you'll have to support me."

"Well, I'll support you." Taylor really listened to him.

The two of them were just like any other young couple, and started settling accounts at the end of the year.

Ryan calculated that T&R Records could contribute about 500 million yuan in revenue, and Bedroom also had a similar net profit. The nightclub business was very profitable and had already recovered its costs, which was almost equal to the record business. After deducting the various expenses of establishing the brand, the first batch of sTRay revenue was about one million yuan. The only thing that did not generate any revenue was the filming of the drama.

"I didn't expect that nightclubs would be so profitable. In that case, I'll use my money to buy a house," Taylor suggested.

From the sound of it, they weren't going to let Ryan pay for such a big thing as buying a house.

"Your money is useful! You still have so many things to do. My money is just kept in my hands anyway. My dad might take it out to invest again. It's more reliable to buy a house." Taylor pondered.

I wonder what her father would think when he heard this.

"That's settled then." Seeing that Ryan didn't refuse, Taylor nodded.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Taylor pushed Ryan all the way to the bed. Just like every "married" woman, she was much more proactive than Ryan, and she was eager to do it while taking a bath just now.

However, their love did not last long and was soon interrupted by a phone call.

"The forum is down... I see." Ryan put down his phone.

"Veronica launched the user rating system at 0:. Now the number of visits has surged, and many people have posted photos on the forum. As a result, the server can't handle it." Ryan explained.

“Why do people in forums post photos?”

"Because I think it's more fun that way." Ryan said casually.

"Wrong, it's because today's mobile phones have higher pixels. Compared to bulky cameras, mobile phones are much lighter, and people will post photos more and more frequently in the future." Taylor suddenly said.

"You are quite observant." Ryan nodded.

"Because I am a woman and an artist, I like taking photos and sharing them with everyone, but Myspace doesn't support attachments very well. In short, it's very troublesome. Why isn't there a social media that uses pictures as a medium?"

"If there is such a media, celebrities will use it, just like Myspace now." Taylor mused.

"If there is such a thing, I will definitely buy it." Ryan turned over and pressed down Taylor.

"Then I will be the first to use it." Taylor giggled and raised her hand to touch Ryan's cheek.

Two days later, when Ryan stepped into Taylor's home, he was immediately warmly welcomed. Taylor's mother cooked a table full of delicious food, and Taylor's father took out the fine wine that he had collected for many years.

In the process, the current pop music market was inevitably mentioned.

Ryan sighed: "We two did stop Beyonce, but we didn't stop Lady Gaga..."

"Just Dance" topped the Billboard singles chart in the last week of 2008. Ryan asked Scott to find out that Lady Gaga's second single "Poker Face" will be promoted in January this year.

"Maintaining second place is good too." Taylor didn't care: "Besides, I've already won the championship."

"What about the Grammys? It should be Ryan's turn to win the Best New Artist award this time, right?" Austin interrupted.

Taylor was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in early 08, but lost to Amy Winehouse.

"The nominees include Adele, Duffy, Lady Antebellum, Jonathan Brothers, and Ryan," Taylor said.

09年的格莱美与泰勒无关，因为09年格莱美评选范围是2007年10月1日至2008年9月30日的音乐作品，泰勒的新专辑发布在08年11月，参与的是2010年的格莱美。

Although Taylor had no part in the Grammy Awards this year, she was still invited to participate in the live performance.

"The betting website has published the odds. Currently the lowest odds are for Ryan and the highest are for Jonathan's brother." Taylor's father continued.

“The betting websites may not reflect the real situation.” Ryan shook his head. If the betting websites were really that magical, everyone would only need to choose the option with the lowest odds to make money all the time.

"To be precise, this is not gambling, but binary futures," Taylor's father reminded him. As a person in the financial industry, he has a rather clear perspective on this issue.

"For example, if I'm one of the judges at the Recording Academy and I voted for you, and I know a lot of other people voted for you, why wouldn't I make money off of that inside information?"

"The mainstream media may hold certain positions and may try to cover up the truth, such as campaigning for someone in a particular election."

"You can understand that all bettors represent the sum of the cognition of relevant people. Don't think this is useless. It will help you analyze the situation."

"Sometimes it's more convincing when people vote with real money," Taylor's father grinned.

"Ryan, I treat you as my son. This is my best trick."

"But this is at best a tool and can only provide a reference because the number of participants may not be large enough and there are few 'predictable' propositions." Ryan talked about the disadvantages of gambling.

"And if someone really launches a well-known 'reality prediction' website, the more people participate, the more people will feel the danger, and the operation of this website will encounter greater resistance. In a sense, this is a paradox." Taylor's father had to admit this.

"It takes a very deep background to run a website like this." Ryan shrugged. Obviously, this idea is simply not feasible at the moment.
