Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 157 - 155 Spaceship

"After last year’s Emmy Awards ceremony, ’Friends’ once again became the biggest winner at this year’s soap opera awards.

It swept four major general categories, and what was particularly surprising was that David Schwimmer, who played Ross, beat Winterworth Miller, the favorite to win.

However, in the more prestigious ’Favorite TV Show’ category, ’Friends’ unexpectedly lost to ’Prison Break.’

Although many ’Friends’ fans were unhappy with the result, as one of the jurors, the renowned critic Mr. Roger explained several reasons why ’Prison Break’ deserved the award to our reporter."

"This famous critic really can talk nonsense, I almost believed him."

Wang Jian was sitting in the studio, flipping through the newspaper, waiting for ’Prison Break Special Forces’ to start filming.

Of course, this nominal executive producer, who only cared about sponsorship fees, was here because of an invitation from the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), not because of a sudden surge of responsibility.

"Mr. Wang, the actors are all in position," said director Simon, pushing open the door of the office and asking respectfully, "Would you like to take a look?"

"Hmm," Wang Jian nodded, casually placing the newspaper on the table and following the director towards the filming site.

To be honest, ever since ’Prison Break’ had overtaken ’Friends,’ he felt that the attitude of these entertainment industry people had changed towards him.

If before it was just the kind of flattery directed at investors, now there was vaguely the feeling of being a "bigwig" within the circle.

Whether it was the nonchalant faces of other crew members when Naomi suggested "having coffee" again last night, or the TV stars crowding around him at the after-party, it all pointed in this direction.

"But all this is thanks to NBC, and what exactly does NBC want?"

Wang Jian came to the set absent-mindedly, but a scene of great impact immediately drew his attention back to the filming site. fгeewebnovёl.com

Having already observed the completion of classic action films such as ’First Blood’ and ’Terminator,’ Wang Jian wasn’t surprised by the intense fighting between Miller and the wrestlers.

But a scene in which they fought while tearing their clothes with their bulging muscles was definitely astonishing.

It wasn’t until Miller and several wrestlers revealed the sponsor CK’s underwear that this somewhat embarrassing scene finally stopped.

Wang Jian looked over and saw the slender Miller shining alongside the muscular wrestlers.

This...

Are they preparing to shoot a gay porn video?

"Wang, this is the first fight scene after the protagonist enters prison," director Simon explained: "I think what sets this show apart from other action films is that the villains have a clear hierarchy."

"The lower-level villains must not be as strong as those on the upper level. So, I plan to use the actors’ physiques and muscles to give the audience this hint."

"These are the smallest in size among the villains?" Wang Jian asked quietly, noticing Miller’s almost tearful expression.

"Yes," Simon nodded, "In the later villains, I will cast some strongmen to make cameo appearances next to Triple H and Undertaker."

Wang Jian visualized that scenario and felt a twinge of toothache.

"Wang, congratulations on ’Prison Break’ winning the ’Most Popular Show’ award," said the well-built Triple H, his face sincere.

"You..." Wang Jian turned to him, feeling a bit awkward, "Do you have a scene today?"

"No," the Redneck said with a big smile, "I’m here as the WWE representative to coordinate the shooting."

"Mr. Triple H is very serious about his work here," Simon complimented to Wang Jian.

"Thank you, Mr. Director, for your trust," Triple H said with a slight bow and a smile in his eyes towards Wang Jian, "We will definitely make this spin-off series as well-received as ’Prison Break.’"

Well-received, referring to the ’Most Popular Show’ award?

Fine, if you say so!

Wang Jian patted his shoulder, "Good job."

"I’ll keep working hard," Triple H glanced around, noticing the wrestlers were all listening intently to the assistant director who was explaining the scene.

"Mr. Wang, here is your WWE VIP annual pass." He passed over a card, whispering, "Ms. Stephanie gave it to me, to hand it to you."

Uh...

Wang Jian took the card and looked at the muscular man across from him.

He saw that the other’s expression hadn’t changed at all, still looking down with a big smile.

Faced with this true titan, Wang Jian didn’t quite know what to say.

Luckily, at that moment, Tom hurried over.

"Wang, the head of the film and TV department from ABC is right next door at the ER set."

"The producer is outside the studio, inviting you to take a look around."

Hearing this, Wang Jian took a deep breath.

"Please carry on with your work," he patted Triple H on the shoulder, "And thank Stephanie for me."

As Wang Jian hurried off, Triple H looked down at the ground for a while.

After a moment, he shrugged, "It’s all worth it."

Meanwhile, Wang Jian, accompanied by Tom, arrived at the ER production set.

Soon, a staff member came forward to take the two of them to the producer’s office at the back.

"Mr. Wang, were you satisfied with yesterday’s gift?" A middle-aged Caucasian stood up, shaking hands with Wang Jian.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is James, and I’m the head of ABC’s wholly-owned film and television production company."

Wang Jian didn’t feel like beating around the bush either.

While shaking hands, he asked, "Why?"

James smiled, not answering directly.

He walked to the windowsill, opened the blinds, "Wang, do you know how many medical dramas have been made in the United States?"

But before Wang Jian could answer, James gave the answer, "To date, there are twenty-seven that have exceeded three seasons."

He pointed to the studio outside the window, "But aside from ER, none of them could bring real MRI machines, CT scanners, and such equipment into a studio."

"The outside is barely distinguishable from a real hospital."

I must admit, compared to ER, the set of Prison Break Special Forces seems quite rudimentary.

But with such a huge investment and low viewership, shouldn’t the series be axed?

Wang Jian looked at the busy filming site outside, his mind tracing the grim state of ABC’s TV drama prospects and the events of the past few days.

He sat down on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, "Which show’s rights does ABC want?"

James laughed heartily, sitting opposite Wang Jian, "True to your Asian roots, you’re indeed smart."

"I wonder which spaceship, based purely on looks, Mr. Wang thinks is more to his liking, Star Wars or Star Trek?"

Spaceships?

Wang Jian recalled the works on the website, looked incredulously at the man opposite, "Anomalies and Creatures?"

James nodded, "Anomalies and Creatures!"
