Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 153 - 151: Who Do You Choose?

Actually, it’s no wonder that the staff at ABC are feeling anxious, as the current situation is indeed quite bleak for them.

Just a few days ago, ABC had been completely wiped out from the top spots in the viewership rankings collated by the three major broadcast networks.

Even the professional drama series "ER," which once drew a large female audience, had fallen out of the top ten in the rankings because its star, George Clooney, shifted his career focus to Hollywood.

Of course, this also meant a significant reduction in advertisement revenue.

And now, replacing Clooney as the favorite of female viewers was Winterworth Miller from CBS’s "Prison Break."

Fortunately, due to the timing of its broadcast, "Prison Break" had a relatively low starting point.

By the time it had built up a good reputation, it had also reached the final episode of its first season.

In supermarkets across America, the clerks were astonished to find that all the housewives who came to shop had disappeared.

And in one luxurious mansion in New York’s Upper East Side, which, along with Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, was known as one of the most upscale communities in America.

Jeff Bezos was reluctantly looking at his wife, Mackenzie Bezos.

She was directing a few housemaids to and fro, arranging various snacks on the coffee table in front of the television.

"Maggie, it’s just a TV show, you don’t need to go all out like this," Bezos sighed at his wife.

"When you watch ’Batman,’ don’t you also prepare beer and popcorn and everything?" his wife glanced at him, "Besides, this is the last episode!"

Why did I just now say I wanted to watch "Prison Break," to see that first TV series launched by the website?

Sitting on the sofa, Bezos almost wanted to slap himself.

"Stop fussing, Maggie. It’s time, the opening music has already started."

"Coming, coming," his wife jogged a few steps and sat on the sofa.

She wriggled a bit, kicked off her slippers, and leaned against Bezos.

Feeling the weight in his arms, Bezos looked at his wife’s face.

Sigh, ever since he had resigned from Wall Street to start his own business, it had been a long time since they had leisurely watched TV together like this.

"What are you looking at me for?" Mackenzie noticed her husband’s gaze.

"Nothing," Bezos thought his earlier thoughts were kind of "gay," and quickly pointed at the screen, "Let’s watch the show."

Mackenzie gave Bezos a dubious look, seeming to want to say something else.

But by then, the opening music had ended, and the final episode of "Prison Break" officially began.

As the female lead bravely dug through the wall and jumped into the tunnel.

The attention of the Bezos couple was drawn to the TV show.

However, their expressions were slightly different.

Mackenzie was brimming with excitement, completely immersing herself in the role of the protagonist.

Whereas Bezos furrowed his brows lightly, as if scrutinizing something.

"As long as you still live here, custom-made attire, high-end champagne, you will lack for nothing!"

"This is your attire, your jewelry, take it all back!"

Watching the confrontation between the female lead and the Prison Warden on the screen, Bezos felt a bit speechless and picked up a small snack.

Although this scene was supposed to show the female lead sacrificing riches for love.

The pale set and the terrible dialogue were just too embarrassing.

Bezos wanted to make a snarky remark, but seeing his wife’s serious expression, he had to shut his mouth tightly.

Then, the currently very popular Vice Prison Warden appeared and started fighting with the Prison Warden.

Watching the flashy action, Bezos quickened his eating.

These movements were flashy, but completely lacked any real impact.

Believe it or not, boxing champion Tyson could go up there and knock them all down with one punch!

"Wow, Miller is so cool, he can really fight!" Mackenzie quietly marveled.

Bezos nearly choked when he heard that.

He quickly grabbed his coffee and gulped down two big mouthfuls.

Then, the lesbian prison boss appeared and started an inexplicable dialogue with the vice prison warden.

"Ownership is not true love!"

Bezos glanced at his wife’s emotional expression and felt like he was about to break down.

Was this line really written by a human?

Luckily, just as he was about to reach his limit of patience, that somewhat rival bestselling author finally made an appearance.

With a stiff expression and awkward acting, there was nothing worth watching except his "articulation."

The most crucial part was, dressed in a tailcoat and gold-rimmed glasses, was he trying to go back to the Middle Ages?

Fortunately, the camera soon panned away slowly, and after the female lead glanced back at the prison from the car, the last episode of "Prison Break" finally ended.

Watching his wife’s dejected expression, Bezos wanted to reach for some snacks again.

Huh?

With so many snacks on the table, how had they all been eaten?

He wanted to leave, but his wife leaned motionless against him, preventing Bezos from getting up.

Forget it, change perspectives, drop the bias, and think about why this show was such a hit?

He gently stroked his wife’s hair while pondering.

"The prison warden represents money; the vice prison warden represents appearance and physical strength, and the prison boss symbolizes understanding a woman’s heart?"

"And the bestselling author who appeared last symbolizes the lost youth and first love?"

Bezos’s fingers tapped lightly on the sofa armrest as he made his final judgment.

"Essentially, is this show an adult film for women’s psychology?"

"If it were switched to a man, it would probably be about the heiress of Wal-Mart and Nicole Kidman both chasing me, and whom I should choose, right?"

Just as Bezos was secretly marveling at how low Wang Jian’s standards really weren’t, his wife’s voice suddenly came to his ear.

"Jeff, if there were a woman who was young, beautiful, understanding, and helpful to your career," his wife stared seriously into Bezos’s eyes and asked, "that woman or me, who would you choose?"

Huh?

Jeff Bezos felt a chill in his head and thought the question wasn’t so simple.

After pondering for about three or four minutes, he replied, "Of course, it’s you, my dear."

"Because you are that young, beautiful, understanding woman who helps my career."

"And such a woman, apart from you, could not possibly exist."

"Huh?" Mackenzie was startled at first and then burst into laughter.

"You answered correctly." She touched Bezos’s cheek gently and gave him a soft kiss.

That was close!

Bezos, while kissing, touched his head.

He had just been scared, even breaking into a cold sweat on his head.

After the kiss was over, Mackenzie slipped on her slippers and called the servants to clear up the dishes from the coffee table.

Meanwhile, Bezos pondered whether there were any similar works on Amazon.

"Jeff, it’s time for lunch," his wife called out to Bezos from the dining room.

"Actually, I’m not very hungry," Bezos touched his stomach and slowly got up. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"By the way, Jeff," Mackenzie looked at him with a smile, "why did you take so long to think when I asked you that question?"

"Ah?" Bezos was startled, "Maybe... maybe I was too hungry, a bit hypoglycemic?"

"Ah, Maggie, hurry up with the food, I’m starving!"
