Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 306 - 309: I, Wang Jian, Have Been Oppressed!

"Yes, Mr. Stephen King," Wang Jian said with a heavy tone on the phone, "The Senate has already passed that inexplicable bill for review, and it’s immediately entering the hearing phase."

"I know this is persecution of writers, a rehash of the Chaplin incident, but as a minority, we really have no other choice!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Yes, in order to cooperate with the House of Representatives’ investigation, the website will temporarily undergo equipment maintenance and conduct self-censorship of content."

After making calls to several well-known writers and instructing the tech team to message all authors, Wang Jian let out a long sigh.

All of this, of course, was to play along with the plan and to show that he was being treated unfairly.

The gist was: whether you hit me or not, you’ve already raised your hand, and I’ve already lain down.

You say you didn’t hit me, but I’m still in pain, so let’s ask the public what they think!

"At least the hearing is about to take place, and our sales channels are not through physical stores but through the internet."

"Otherwise, we really couldn’t afford it," he murmured to himself, "DC and Marvel almost went bankrupt like this!"

Having said that, Wang Jian opened Twitter to gauge people’s reactions and determine whether his loss in US Dollars was worth it.

The readers’ reactions did not disappoint.

"King Arthur is about to come into contact with the Church, and now you’re not updating?!"

"Damn these American politicians, damn the American government!"

"Mr. Wang Jian, my family and I think you’ve suffered racial discrimination! You should expose this to the media! And I’m a white book fan from Texas!"

Racial discrimination?

Wang Jian’s eyebrows twitched, "But Chinese people are not keen on taking to the streets."

"It’s a very effective method for African Americans. But for Asians, its effect is basically negligible."

However, a message by someone apparently quite active quickly rose to the top of the comments.

"I’m in Washington City and plan to sit in front of the House of Representatives tomorrow to show support for Wang. Anyone going with me?"

What now?

Seeing this message, Wang Jian felt his heart skip a beat.

After a few incidents, he knew these people were really capable of doing such things!

If those House members were to switch from favoring to opposing due to the large number of protesters, then all his efforts would have been in vain!

"Thank goodness..." Wang Jian thought for a while, relieved, "these book fans are scattered all across the United States, not just limited to Washington City."

Thinking this, the name of a tycoon who was indifferent to money popped into his mind.

At that moment, the ringtone of Wang Jian’s phone sounded, and the caller was none other than Wozniak.

"Why does the United States publish so much trash every year, and why are they targeting online literature?"

"Wang Jian, I’m telling you, this is definitely political persecution. Although I dislike politics, I’ve seen plenty of such dirty tricks!"

Calm down, big guy...

Wang Jian thought about the promise he had made to the Governor of Texas to stop the readers’ actions before the bill was passed for the first time.

This would prevent the public from becoming aesthetically fatigued by frequent news, so that it could cause a greater sensation when it erupted.

"I believe the American government is just and fair and will treat online literature and websites appropriately," Wang Jian clenched his teeth and said the nonsense he himself didn’t believe.

"You’re too naive!" Wozniak’s voice was almost out of control, "The American government is crap, we have to organize a protest now!"

Brother...

"No, the development of online literature up to now needs the public’s evaluation, this time is a good opportunity!" Wang Jian felt, his thighs were even more painful than when he was with Stephanie.

Having heard this, Wozniak was stunned for a while.

Finally, he sighed, "Then let’s wait until after the House of Representatives vote, and take action afterwards."

"But since we could book out an entire cinema for ’Star Wars’ to boost the box office, so George Lucas could continue making it."

"Then we can each chip in some pocket money for the online literature we love and organize people to march in front of Congress, Supreme Court, and even the White House!"

"I’ve finally appeased the big guy!" Wang Jian put down the phone, pressing his temples weakly.

Considering the hearing that was to take place tomorrow, even as an atheist, he couldn’t help but make the sign of the cross on his chest.

"God, bless that bill to pass!"

"If everything goes well, I’m willing to go in front of the Church and burn some paper money for you!"

At the same time, at the headquarters of Viacom Group in Los Angeles.

The Jewish media mogul Redstone was dealing with company affairs.

At over 70 years old, his energy was not what it used to be, hence a backlog of work had accumulated.

However, because Disney had the likes of Eisner, Redstone didn’t dare delegate power completely to professional managers.

"How is the progress of the movie starring Tom Cruise? And will the release date of the Universal biopic clash with ours?"

"’Jerry Maguire’ is going smoothly." The assistant looked down at the document and continued, "The Universal one, although directed by a newcomer."

"Sofia Coppola often complains about the writer messing with the script, and she has given up on that film."

"So, they’ve lowered a lot of the quality requirements for the shots, speeding up the production."

"The release dates of the two films look set to clash."

"Heh..." Redstone chuckled, "Even the director lost confidence?"

That writer...

Thinking of this, he asked casually, "Based on analysis, when is this turmoil likely to settle so that we can move on to the next step?"

"Uh..." The assistant pondered the boss’s question and threw out a number, "Probably needs another two years."

Two years?

There are four years left until 2000!

Is such a small piece of news planning to cross the century?

Redstone suppressed the urge to throw his coffee cup at his subordinate’s face and slowly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Based on the long-standing protests that lasted five years after the ’Comics Restriction Act’ was passed in 1954, we made this estimate."

"One reason is that information is exchanged more quickly nowadays and the public memory is shorter. On the other hand, the ’Online Literature Restriction Bill’ by the House may not pass."

May not pass?

Isn’t a hearing and vote conducted only after review?

I just communicated with some Democrat Party members, and after the British Royal Family made a statement, these actions had already ceased, hadn’t they?

In an instant, Redstone felt his brain crash.

"How could such a bill pass the review without external pressure!"

"Make a detailed report of the specific process and hand it to me later."

About an hour later, the office echoed with the media tycoon’s whisper, "Republican Party!"
