Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 99

When the staff from EA brought over the disc for "Arcane Throne",

Wang Jian was frowning as he answered a call from Tom, who was on set.

Since CBS announced the subscription to "Prison Break" on its viewing guide, advertisers who kept a close eye on the broadcast network began to stir.

They first obtained the story summary from CBS through their resources.

Then, they flocked to the set, inquiring about product placement opportunities.

These advertisements included not only common snacks and beverages but also handcuffs and prop guns that fitted the theme of "Prison Break". free𝑤ebnovel.com

Yes, you read that right, handcuffs, prop guns...

Of course, as a new show airing outside of prime time, the quotes from these advertising agents were pitifully low.

Currently, the highest bid came from a Spanish clothing brand, Zara.

This clothing brand had just opened its first store in New York and was now ready to delve deep into the United States market.

"According to Catherine, Zara has a very bad reputation in the fashion world, and many of its product designs may involve plagiarism."

Plagiarism?

Hearing this, Wang Jian, who had also become a well-known figure in the literary world, couldn’t help but feel a bit of disgust.

"How much is Zara’s quote?"

"If they provide all the costumes for the drama, Zara’s quote is 400,000 US dollars."

400,000 US dollars?

That was much higher than the total of all other advertising quotes.

Oh, then no problem.

"We can accept that." He involuntarily curled up his lips, "Continue to keep a close eye on the shooting progress!"

"Understood," Tom replied.

After hanging up the call, Wang Jian gently whistled.

He then picked up the remote and turned on the TV that he had someone bring into his office.

As 1995 neared its end,

major television networks also began to warm up for the upcoming Great Commander elections next year.

CBS, known for leaning towards the Democrat Party, was broadcasting a financial program.

On the program, the host and several guests seemed to be giving fair opinions.

"Since the current Great Commander took office, he has been implementing effective economic policies."

"Especially the ’Information Superhighway’ plan, which has turned the Internet into a new economic growth point."

"Currently, the number of Internet users in the entire United States has increased by 30% compared to the same period last year."

"Not only have the stocks of related companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco soared, but Silicon Valley has also seen the emergence of new companies worth over a billion dollars, like Yahoo and Netscape."

About ten minutes later, as the financial program wrapped up,

Wang Jian finally got to see the "Prison Break" trailer he had been waiting for.

"I am innocent, let me out," Naomi Watts shouted disheveled at the camera.

Then, Neil, dressed in a modified prison warden’s uniform, mercilessly dragged her into prison.

Punk-styled, short-haired Jessica Chastain, with a cavalier attitude, whistled at the protagonist, "In prison, you’re my bitch now."

And the tall, handsome Miller stared intently at the protagonist’s back, whispering, "You are forever mine."

As the voice-over sounded: "Prison Break," the legendary story of a woman in prison.

Only on CBS December 10th.

Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction, about to turn off the TV.

Suddenly, he was captivated by the next advertisement that followed.

"Adapted from a best-selling book, eagerly awaited by book and comic fans alike, the game of the same name, ’Arcane Throne,’ will officially meet the players on December 8th, stay tuned."

"EA Game, challenge everything."

This...

Wang Jian quickly rifled through the pile of documents on his desk.

Finally, at the very bottom of the pile, he found the fax from EA.

He had been so busy lately that he hadn’t paid attention even to such an important matter.

This made Wang Jian feel that it was time to hire a secretary for himself.

However, a game for which the adaptation rights were bought for 900,000 US Dollars and was completed within a few months.

EA really went all out to meet the Christmas season when the shopping desire across the United States is at its peak.

He picked up the CD from the table, toyed with it for a moment, then inserted it into the computer’s CD drive.

Well, let the "original author" himself experience what this game is really like!

...

At this moment, in Tennessee, in the southern United States.

Leonard was also holding a remote control, boredly flipping through TV channels.

The computer had been commandeered by his father, claiming he needed to make a work-related chart.

This directly resulted in his inability to log into his favorite websites and check out some really interesting works.

It was probably because Jessica had gotten back together with her boyfriend.

Recently, when he went to the comic book store, he always felt listless, feeling that the comics were all the same.

This made time pass painfully slow.

What?

Go do some outdoor sports?

Don’t joke...

"Leonard, come here. Come help Mom marinate these slices of meat," his mother’s voice called from the kitchen.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, and the whole family will go for an outdoor barbecue."

Hearing this, Leonard quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

He hated outdoor barbecues the most!

"Leonard?"

His mother’s footsteps approached from the kitchen, getting closer and closer.

The footsteps and the background sound of a show preview on CBS mingled together, making it increasingly tense.

"Leonard?" his mother’s voice rang in his ear, "This child, asleep without even turning off the TV."

She took the remote control from Leonard’s hand.

On TV, the last line of the show’s preview was being broadcast.

"’Prison Break,’ the legendary story of a woman in prison, only on CBS."

"A female version of ’The Shawshank Redemption’?" His mother, a housewife, was very interested in the TV dramas on the morning network line-up.

Because that was her time to relax freely at home after sending off her sister.

"The commercials should end soon; mom, please leave quickly," Leonard muttered to himself.

At that moment, a new commercial came on the TV.

"The game version of ’Arcane Throne’ will meet with all the gamers on December 8th."

’Arcane Throne’?

The game version?

Leonard got excited, involuntarily opened his eyes, and stared at the TV screen.

But suddenly, he felt a chill over the top of his head.

He slowly lifted his head to see his mother looking at him with a half-smile.

Leonard looked at his mother, then back at the TV screen, and chuckled.

"Mom, you don’t have to worry about marinating the meat," he said ingratiatingly, "Just leave everything to me."

"Also, can I get a little extra allowance next week?"

"What do you think?"

Next, Leonard’s screams echoed through the room.

Meanwhile, Leonard’s father was completely ignoring the noises.

He was staring intently at the computer screen, continuously clicking the mouse.

"The website Leonard often visits isn’t an 18+ site."

"No, I must check further to see exactly what content he’s watching!"

After a short while.

"Well, this ’Extreme Heavenly Demon’ is actually quite good."
