Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 132 - 130 Guest Appearance Invitation

As the new episode of "Prison Break" aired, its ratings had increased to a certain extent.

Of course, due to its audience, it couldn’t compete with classics like "Friends," but it had stabilized within the top ten on the charts.

Riding this momentum, sponsors ramped up their efforts, and various soft articles sprung up in the media like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Zara, in fashion magazines, discussed the protagonists’ dressing styles at length, and a hotel which served as the female lead’s private prison had launched a "Prison Break Protagonist Experience Day."

It was rather awkward for manufacturers of products like guns and handcuffs, which were known for their "tough guy" image, because both of the drama’s leading men were gay in real life.

Thus, after racking their brains and thinking out of the box, "Prison Break"-branded police handcuffs transformed into "Prison Break"-branded toy handcuffs.

As for who would want to buy those...

Well, that was subjective.

Of course, Wang Jian had no complaints, as this meant another licensing fee for him.

At this moment, he was sitting in the office, consulting Dorsey, a veteran of the singles scene, about the preferences for the female lead in the new work "Anomalies and Creatures."

Wang Jian found that the most fierce debates about the female lead were among these people.

"I think both vampires and Huskies are possible, but it should not be a goddess," Dorsey said confidently. "I’m right, aren’t I, Wang Jian?"

Hearing Dorsey use his full name so solemnly, Wang Jian also nodded seriously and decided in his heart to add some more interactions between the goddess and the male lead.

At this moment, Tom walked into the office.

"Wang, the first season of ’Prison Break’ has nearly completed filming, and Catherine has invited you to shoot an Easter egg-like behind-the-scenes extra."

Because the show was adapted from an original work, its filming pace was a bit faster than other American dramas.

Wang Jian knew that filming was about to end, but what was this nonsense about inviting him, a co-producer who barely had any presence, to shoot an Easter egg?

"Me?" He touched his nose, looking confusedly at Tom.

Tom nodded with a bittersweet smile, "’Arcane Throne’ is very popular among mothers, and ’Harem Boleyn Family’ is popular among many young women."

"They dug out that you are the producer of ’Prison Break.’"

"So..." Tom looked at Wang Jian and heaved a deep sigh, "you’ve become a male representative who loves learning, is sensitive, and cares about women."

"Among middle-class women, you have gained some fame and favor."

After saying this, the office was quiet for a moment, and Wang Jian and Dorsey looked at each other.

Then, the three of them couldn’t suppress it and burst out laughing almost at the same time.

As Wang Jian laughed, he marveled at women’s strong imaginations.

However...

If his appearance could add even a bit more attention to "Prison Break," then it would be worth it.

The success of the first part was just too beneficial for funneling traffic to the website and sponsoring other movies and shows in the series.

At that time, the "Prison Break" crew received a notification from the website that one of the producers, Wang Jian, had accepted the invitation and was about to participate in the final episode’s Easter egg shoot.

This caused a slight shift in the mindset of the soon-to-complete director, Catherine, and the four main actors.

Truth be told, before shooting "Prison Break," only Neil, who played the Prison Warden, was doing quite well.

And including Catherine, the other four were not having a great time.

Jessica Chastain and Miller were newcomers in the entertainment industry, both struggling to find opportunities.

And the slightly older Naomi Watts was almost unable to pay her rent.

In this scenario, they received their agents’ audition notifications.

Upon further inquiry, the low production cost, novice director, and a completely inexperienced production team

all made the leading actors dismiss any illusions of fame.

Especially after hearing that the screenplay was an adaptation of a novel by an unknown author, they considered their roles in "Prison Break" merely as a means to make a living.

However, unexpectedly, this particular film achieved remarkable success.

The leading actors all escaped hardships and became well-known TV stars.

But with the conclusion of "Prison Break", the actors faced different circumstances.

Vice Prison Warden Miller and Jessica, the lesbian character, both agreed to appear in related spin-off series, while their agents were still negotiating their salaries.

Meanwhile, the true lead, Naomi Watts, faced a huge gap because the script for the second season wasn’t completed.

Of course, she was not short on offers now.

But like most TV stars, she could only secure minor supporting roles in movies and TV series.

This was a bit hard to accept for Naomi, who had just played a major female lead in a TV series and gained a large fanbase and numerous accolades.

She thought about the recent rumors circulating on the set that this literary website and HBO were going to collaborate and establish a film and TV production company.

The aim was to adapt some popular works from the website into TV series like "Prison Break."

Naomi had once visited the site out of curiosity.

But most of the content was male-oriented, like comics, which instantly made her lose interest.

Recently, however, fans on Twitter mentioned that she would be suitable for two other major female lead roles on the website.

Curious, she clicked on the links and found one called "Twilight Dusk" and another called "Harem: Youngest Daughter of the Boleyn Family."

Over the past few days, Naomi kept reading these two works.

She realized that "Twilight" was similar to "Prison Break," both being idol love stories under a different guise.

The "Harem" series, however, was a bit different.

Even though she learned that the real Anne Boleyn in history wasn’t as cunning or deep as depicted in the novel,

setting that aside, the novel had the potential to be a huge hit if adapted into a movie or TV series.

And if she could play Anne Boleyn, it wouldn’t only keep her popular but might also help her shake off critics calling her a "vase" — pretty but empty.

So, she decided to seize this opportunity and probe this young crossover talent from bestsellers, film production, and technology elite.

Director Catherine harbored the same thoughts.

However, her target wasn’t "Harem" but "Twilight."

Through directing "Prison Break," Catherine had recognized her strengths as a director.

These were beautiful scenery, attractive men and women, and a continuous tangle of love and hatred.

And "Twilight" perfectly fit these elements.

Thus, when a fan suggested on a Twitter thread that they would like to see producer Wang Jian in the behind-the-scenes,

she immediately forwarded the suggestion to her assistant producer, Tom.

Catherine saw this as an opportunity to connect with the elusive producer and possibly secure a chance to direct "Twilight."

Just as everyone sat in the studio preoccupied with their thoughts, someone suddenly shouted, "The producer is here."

The four main actors and Catherine promptly got up to greet him.

But Naomi and Catherine exchanged looks, "Why does this woman seem so eager?"
