Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 298 - 303: Am I Being Persecuted?

"Alright, thank you."

Wang Jian hung up the phone, somewhat puzzled.

Since this morning, he had received many calls from the tech heavyweights of Silicon Valley.

Wozniak had been subtle, just mentioning that the people of Silicon Valley loved his novels and would firmly stand with the website.

Meanwhile, the super-rich Larry Elson had proposed the idea of a joint venture to establish a production company once again.

He claimed that in doing so, he could use his political connections to provide protection for Wang Jian.

However, as a trade-off, he wanted more control in the newly established company.

"Political shelter?" Wang Jian muttered, feeling quite bewildered.

The incident with the British Royal Family should have been perfectly resolved by now...

He had already started counting his profits, and now this guy suddenly wants to take advantage of the situation?

As usual, Wang Jian began pondering what could have happened while turning on his computer.

But as soon as the computer was on, he was distracted by the incessant notification sounds of Twitter private messages.

"Wang, no matter what, I support you!"

"I can’t believe such blatant unconstitutional acts are happening in the United States!"

"I am a reader and also a lawyer. Mr. Wang, I am willing to offer legal assistance to you free of charge!"

This... freeweɓnøvel~com

"The maneuvers of the Viacom Group are very clean and sophisticated, there should be absolutely no legal loopholes to exploit."

Wang Jian was about to type a message, declining the kind offer.

Just then, Tom rushed in, holding a stack of newspapers.

"Wang, all the major newspapers in the UK and the US have published features about you!"

Hmm?

A feature story should be about Princess Diana’s divorce, right?

Wang Jian took the newspapers with suspicion, only to discover...

Damn, it really was about him!

The British media, for the most part, had used photos from Chaplin’s time residing in London.

Their reports compared Wang Jian with the Comedy Master who had been persecuted by McCarthyism and couldn’t return to his country.

Between the lines, they mocked the United States and speculated when Wang Jian would move to London.

The American newspapers, on the other hand, used old photos of the famous writer Hemingway, who was arrested by the FBI for participating in Spain’s "International Brigades."

"When an American writer’s novels are best-sellers in Britain, yet we’re trying to impose further restrictions on his creative style?"

"There are major issues with the American social system, we should completely lift any control over the media!"

I...

You...

If there’s a country’s media that can be compared to the American media,

It must be the British media, acting like troublemakers!

But now, they actually published features simultaneously, casting me as a "persecuted" writer?

Wang Jian stared at the newspapers, stunned for a long while.

He had no interest in being nominated by writers to confront the big capital of Hollywood.

Not to mention being used as a weapon by a media lacking any bottom line!

"Stop assigning me this persona..." Wang Jian muttered to himself, holding the newspaper, "What the website needs now is to consolidate."

"I’m not Yang Zhiyuan, who needs to make a fool of himself dancing on stage to boost the company’s stock price!"

However, unlike Wang Jian, who was inexplicably drawn into this and felt discontent,

The related personnel at HBO and WWE’s Stephanie were nearly ecstatic.

Influenced by the popular airing of "Prison Break Special Forces," the WWE wrestlers were quickly becoming familiar to audiences all across America.

This gave WWE a clear advantage in the competition with WCW.

Stephanie had asked a friend to come to HBO’s backstage statistics office precisely because she wanted to understand the final data, to prepare for WWE’s subsequent plans.

They were ready to fully acquire WCW and unify the United States’ wrestling entertainment industry.

But Stephanie had not expected to see such a scene.

"Yes, the famous writer Wang Jian will make a cameo in the final episode of ’Prison Break Special Forces’,"

"He will probably appear around the thirtieth minute, and we warmly welcome your subscription," the customer service spoke in a gentle tone, taking calls for inquiries.

"Has this series already broken the HBO subscription records?" Stephanie asked, looking at the deputy director with a smile on his face.

"Of course," the deputy director shrugged, "influenced by the huge popularity of the first part of the series and the lead actor Miller, the record was broken at the third episode."

"I didn’t expect such a thing to happen," he said, looking at the statistics, and let out a long sigh, "Now the subscription numbers for ’Prison Break Special Forces’ are already close to half of the viewing figures for ’Friends’!"

Only half?

Stephanie thought about ’Friends’, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Miss Stephanie, that series is broadcast on free-to-air television, and viewers can watch it for free," the deputy director added.

"While HBO is pay-to-view, it’s completely incomparable!"

Pay-to-view...

"Does that mean these people might spend money on WWE tickets, more easily turning into profits?"

Stephanie pondered, calculating the pros and cons in her mind.

"Never would I have thought, just a writer," the deputy director looked at the statistics and heaved a long sigh,

"His ability to draw in viewers is almost equivalent to that of a famous actor!"

Yes!

Stephanie flipped her chestnut bangs and agreed inwardly.

Most importantly, this work wasn’t even the hottest on the website.

With this effect caused by just a few minutes of Wang Jian’s friendly cameo appearances!

"Stephanie, what’s the situation?"

As she picked up the phone, her father’s voice came through.

After thinking, Stephanie detailed the situation from start to finish.

"Influenced by that bestselling author..." the wrestling tycoon said meaningfully, "You should maintain a good friendship with him."

"That way, there might be an opportunity for collaboration next time."

Hearing this, Stephanie felt a surge of anger.

For the sake of WWE’s development, her father didn’t hesitate to make her step into the ring, marry a wrestler!

And now, was he suggesting sending his own daughter into another man’s bed?

But a moment later, she calmed down.

Actually...

Wang Jian could be a decent lover.

Young, wealthy, and decently handsome...

But the most important point was, his status as a writer had now overshadowed his billionaire status.

If one became a lover to a billionaire, they would be called a "sugar baby," which is a scandal.

Yet being a lover to an artist, there’s no need to worry about that.

Historically speaking, such a relationship might even become a beautiful tale!

"After the broadcast ends, HBO will hold a party and will invite Wang Jian?" Stephanie asked the deputy director, casually.

"Of course!" The deputy director replied without hesitation, with certainty in his voice.

Hmm...

Stephanie nodded gently, "It seems I need to go shopping for some stockings..."
