Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 131 - 129: Soul Mate

While Wozniak berated health department officials for focusing on the wrong issues and neglecting what truly mattered,

reporters, through unknown channels, had learned of impending management changes at Apple Company.

Following the "Microsoft vs. Netscape browser" battle and "AT&T’s encirclement of Motorola," the tech media was poised for another frenzy.

"Apple Company is about to acquire NeXT Computers, and Apple’s founder, Steve Jobs, may return within the year."

Wang Jian sat in his office, glancing at the specially obtained newspaper, and sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, news about him was squeezed into the corners of the newspaper.

Oh well, it’s fine.

Wang Jian took a sip of green tea, consoling himself internally.

He was the "technology elite" who could write novels the best, and among bestselling authors, he understood technology the most.

Thinking this, he turned on his computer to start reading the latest installment of "Anomalies and Creatures."

Truth be told, while he had high hopes for this book, he felt mostly apprehensive.

Because online, the vast majority of stories centered around a protagonist who single-handedly shook heaven and earth to become the most powerful being.

But in this novel, the show-stealing roles often came from the supporting characters, whether they were Vampires or Huskies, they captivated readers more than the protagonist.

Fortunately, feedback from readers indicated that this style was quite popular.

The discussion about the plot under the book review section and Twitter threads was incredibly lively.

What pleased Wang Jian even more was that these readers, based on their different affections for the characters, naturally grouped together.

Thus, Vampire Party, Husky Party, and even Crazy Goddess Party formed spontaneously.

"A garlic-loving Vampire should definitely be the female lead! And the attribute of constantly losing money is just too funny."

"The Husky should be the male protagonist’s lover, the strong woman who loves eating spicy Mexican corn rolls and always protects the protagonist with a brick!"

"Husky, are you talking about that breed from Canada? Are you even American?"

"The wacky Goddess is the truly formidable one, you know!"

Wang Jian noticed that most of the comment section was debating who should be the female lead, with only a very few urging the author to update.

And according to backend data, the number of paying readers was actually not small in such circumstances.

Hanging them on like this isn’t bad!

Wang Jian finally understood the original author’s intentions in deciding the female lead only at the end.

Got to give the readers something to do, right?

He smiled contentedly and picked up the outline to continue making adjustments.

It has to be said that "Anomalies and Creatures" was a work with a very high degree of completion.

Wang Jian only needed to make very minor modifications to tailor it for a different readership.

Such as changing "Xiali" which could only appear in China to "General," and linking some satirical dialogues to the United States president.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

"Wang, the author of ’Ugly Betty’ has finished modifying the script," Tom addressed Wang Jian, "Should we file the script and then send copies to HBO and Netflix?"

Wang Jian took the script and flipped through it casually.

Sigh, never mind.

Reading this kind of transformation story was really straining on his eyes.

"Go ahead and handle it," he handed the draft back to Tom.

"By the way," Tom hesitated before continuing, "some organizations dealing with homosexuality and gender identity issues have somehow heard about this script."

"They hope to see the script first to decide whether to sponsor it."

"What?" Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, "Are these organizations that wealthy?" freёnovelkiss-com

"Of course. The filming of ’Philadelphia Story’ got quite a lot of funding from HIV organizations," Tom expressed with a look of surprise.

"With sponsorship, these issues are no problem at all," Wang Jian said, sipping his green tea casually.

Tom nodded and prepared to leave.

At that moment, he heard Wang Jian’s voice again from behind.

"Tell them that if the sponsorship amount is high enough, we can be a bit more liberal."

Tom stumbled for a moment.

Then, he turned around and fiercely gave Wang Jian the middle finger.

...

At this time, in the Western United States, Tennessee.

Leonard’s mother was sitting in front of the computer with the neighbor’s wife.

They were watching "Harem: Youngest Daughter of the Boleyn Family" and waiting for the new episode of "Prison Break" to air.

"I think Wang Jian is a man with delicate emotions and great love," the neighbor sighed. "Look how realistically he writes about women’s emotions."

"Compared to him, the men in my house might as well be as rough as rocks."

"Yes, and he’s the producer of ’Prison Break,’" Leonard’s mother murmured in admiration, "while my husband and son don’t understand what’s so good about ’Prison Break’ at all."

"If I were ten years younger, I might even head to New York to find that man," the neighbor said boldly. "I think he’s truly my soulmate."

Leonard’s mother stared at her friend, dumbfounded.

"What, don’t tell me you don’t feel the same," the neighbor scoffed.

At that moment, the daughter who was still on winter break ran into the bedroom.

"Mom, Auntie, ’Prison Break’ is starting!"

Leonard’s mother breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled her friend into the living room.

"Prison Break" was incredibly popular among housewives.

They would gather at supermarkets and dinner parties to discuss the plot.

Now, not watching "Prison Break" meant hardly being able to take part in the housewives’ gatherings.

As the TV show started, they both stopped talking.

They watched intently as the heroine, dressed in luxurious outfits, navigated relationships with three men in prison, never forgetting her plan to escape.

Then, a question that had arisen since watching the first episode resurfaced in their minds:

Which of the three men would they choose?

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, the younger daughter was sitting in front of the computer, scrolling with the mouse.

"Hehe, Vampire girls and Husky boys are so much fun," she muttered to herself. "No wonder my brother wants these action figures."

After watching the day’s new content, the young girl flipped to her favorite section, the "Harry Potter" series.

But unlike before, having read the main text countless times, she began to read something related to the series.

Before the main text of "Harry Potter," author J.K. Rowling had written about her state of mind while creating the novel.

Among other acknowledgments, she had specifically thanked the website and Wang Jian.

This made the young girl’s eyes sparkle.

Thinking of her mother and aunt’s conversation, she thought, "You might be older, but I’m still young.

Maybe, I’ll have a chance to go to New York someday."

With that, she went back to her room to grab a notebook.

Then, she returned to the computer, watching the screen while writing something down.

However, what was on the computer screen was neither "Anomalies" nor "Harry Potter."

Instead, it was the women’s novel, "Harem: Youngest Daughter of the Boleyn Family."
