Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 327 - 330 Sharing Nominations

"Hello, everyone, this is Los Angeles, Pasadena City Hall."

"And this is the venue for the 48th Emmy Awards."

"Approaching us now is the production team of ’Hulk,’ nominated for Best Animated Feature Film."

"In the middle of the group is the renowned comic book master, Mr. Stan Lee."

Sitting in the car, Wang Jian watched through the window at this vital figure of Marvel.

Although due to certain unforeseen events, he’d been dubbed "the second Hemingway."

But in his heart, Wang Jian always knew that his real goal was this innovator of the comic industry.

"However, the award ceremony is different from a comic convention; it seems that the comic master isn’t as popular here," he mused to himself.

Soon, his guess was confirmed.

Following the comic legend was the actress who played Rachel in ’Friends,’ "American Sweetheart" Jennifer Aniston.

To make matters worse, she brought along her scandal-ridden beau, celebrated movie star Brad Pitt.

The stark contrast between fans screaming "Rachel" and just a few bespectacled boys seeking Stan Lee’s autograph was undeniable.

Wang Jian swallowed hard, regretting his decision to walk the red carpet alongside Naomi Watts.

Thanks to the success of ’Anomalies,’ she had risen to become the TV star ranking just behind the ’Friends’ trio.

Wouldn’t it be similar to the previous situation if people were cheering madly for Naomi while asking, "Who is this man?"

The main issue was that Rachel and Stan Lee had appeared one after the other, yet he would be making his entrance alongside her!

Wasn’t this double the awkwardness...

"Ha, Mr. Wang," Michael Bay said to Wang Jian, a faint smile on his gaunt face.

"The center stage will always belong to the actors," he glanced at his lead cast and whispered in Wang Jian’s ear, "but the real power lies in our hands."

By this time, the ’Raymond’ couple had finished their walk on the red carpet and entered the venue.

Michael Bay patted Joseph Gordon’s shoulder, "It’s our turn."

"The way an actor and a behind-the-scenes person make their entrance should please all the spectators."

"Goodman..."

"Gordon, I love you!"

Wang Jian watched Michael Bay standing calmly aside, waiting for the lead actor to finish signing autographs.

He took a deep breath and opened the car door as well.

If even a Hollywood blockbuster director could do this, there was no reason for him to be overly sensitive.

"Let’s go, Naomi," Wang Jian extended his arm so she could hook onto it.

"Don’t clench so tight; you’ll have to sign autographs later," he felt Naomi Watts trembling slightly.

"I’m a bit nervous," Naomi Watts replied softly.

"Heh, you want to be a star, it’s inevitable," he said calmly, reassuringly as they walked.

"Thank goodness I’m not an actor; I don’t have to do this all the time!" Wang Jian thought to himself.

"Ms. Vivian!"

"Batgirl?!"

He released Naomi’s arm, emulating Michael Bay with gentlemanly grace as he took his place to the side.

Naomi posed from the front, then turned to show the back, and finally picked up an autograph pen.

"That man... is that Wang?" someone whispered suddenly.

"A novelist? I started watching the TV show because of his book!"

"I started reading the novel after the show ended and the story wasn’t finished."

"Ha, the author’s imagination is so rich, I’m going to get an autograph."

"I’m different; I’m here to demand more updates!"

Several people were frantically shifting around, making their way toward Wang Jian.

Yet, even more people, upon seeing Wang Jian, had their first reaction be to loudly recite a classic line from "Anomalies."

"Welcome home, my child."

This not only made Naomi, who was signing autographs, pause for a moment but also caught the attention of the host.

He saw Wang Jian, his eyes lit up, and he strode over.

"Mr. Wang, hello. Do you believe you have a shot at Best Original Screenplay?"

"I trust the judgment of the judges," Wang Jian replied in a formulaic manner.

"According to reports, you recently visited the Vatican and were received at the level of a bishop?"

"As the first person to receive such an honor as a writer, do you have anything you’d like to say?"

What a can of worms!

Wang Jian noticed that many people were converging toward him.

In such situations, danger is most likely to occur.

Wasn’t Lincoln assassinated in a similar setting?

While he casually spoke of his respect for the Church, he noticed that hardly anyone was asking Naomi for autographs anymore.

Without waiting for the host to continue questioning, Wang Jian led Naomi into the venue.

"Uh... why did you leave, I didn’t get an autograph yet!" someone complained.

"Heh," the person urging for more signatures paused for a thought, pointing at their clothes, "Maybe... it’s because I’m not undressed?"

Everyone looked at each other, then remembered that rumor.

Then, as if by agreement, they nodded.

Really? Is that it?

The host looked at his own clothes and then glanced at Wang Jian’s retreating figure.

"I need to apply with the station for a special feature report."

But Wang Jian didn’t know that his nickname "the strip maniac" was about to become even more firmly established.

At that moment, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"There’s definitely no way any religious fanatics will show up here."

Just now, Wang Jian had witnessed two female stars embracing each other and calling each other "honey."

And as soon as they turned around, "that bitch" was uttered.

"Yep, I feel safer in this kind of environment!" He found the "Anomalies" crew’s spot and casually sat down.

"Naomi, how does it feel to be chased after?" Joseph Gordon, wanting to share experiences with the lead actress.

"Uh," Naomi glanced at Wang Jian and murmured, "Actually, in high school, my teacher said I had a talent for writing novels too..."

Half an hour later, as the majority of the crew took their seats, the 48th Annual Emmy Awards ceremony officially started.

The famous talk show host Chris Rock first cracked a few jokes.

Then he said, "This year’s Emmy Awards have created a miracle."

"’Friends’ and ’Anomalies and Creatures’ each have received nominations for 10 major awards."

"This includes Best Lead Actor and Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Drama Series, and other such grand categories!"

"Haha, Rachel, can you beat a vampire?"

"Joey, who do you think is crazier, Phoebe or the goddess?"

With the audience erupting in laughter, the "Friends" and "Anomalies" crews nodded to each other in acknowledgment.

Wang Jian didn’t know what was truly behind everyone else’s smiles.

But as for himself, he thought: "Rachel, really is quite beautiful!"
