The next morning, inside the ABC office building.

James was looking at the phone in a daze as he rubbed his messy hair with his hands.

This morning alone, Mr. Wang had already called himself three times.

Although they were all delayed by the assistant with the excuse of "being in a meeting".

But it still made James feel that he was almost allergic to the ringing of the phone.

"What the hell is NBC trying to do? Is it really trying to start a media war?" he grumbled in a low voice, "Damn the executives, didn't they say that once the discrimination crisis has passed, they won't hype up this hot topic anymore?"

"And the king, isn't it—" James took a sip of coffee and continued to talk to himself.

After a moment, he sighed.

Well, if you are a quasi-billionaire, there is a high probability that you will be like the "old money" in the Upper East Side.

Minimize your presence and enjoy a life of wealth with peace of mind.

"Mr. James, there's a call for you. The assistant's voice sounded through the answering machine, "It's from Mr. Wang." ”

"Shit!" James scolded.

From the previous "Los Angeles Post" incident, it can be seen that Wang does not have the virtue of forbearance like ordinary Chinese.

And now, he's a billionaire ...

"It's not like ABC hasn't covered billions of scandals!" James cheered himself.

But he immediately remembered his former colleague who was forced to resign because of a report on Oracle boss Allison holding a xx party.

"Free press, free speech!" James said silently in his mind as he picked up the phone.

"Wang, I'm just a quasi-senior in the film and television production department...", he said quickly in a not too loud voice.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan on the other end of the phone didn't mention this matter at all.

"James, tonight is the time for "Anomalous Creature Observations", right?"

"I remember you said that you want to adjust the daily routine that has been filmed to the front, and there will be two episodes in a row tonight?"

Well?

Why, Wang suddenly took "Anomaly" so seriously?

Didn't he already get the license fee?

In James's mind, a lot of questions came up for a moment.

But...

As long as he doesn't ask about the news reports, then everything is easy to say.

"Yes. James quickly replied: "We have edited the daily routine into the second and third episodes. ”

"Although it is impossible to describe daily life in a lot of space like the original book, it will still allow fans of the original book to see the change. ”

"Well, that's good. Wang gradually got the answer he wanted, and hung up the phone with satisfaction.

He then went to Twitter and posted a message using his account.

"After communicating with ABC, the drama version of "Abnormal Creature Observations" will be adapted on the basis of respecting the original work. ”

"Tonight's "Anomaly" will have two episodes in a row. ”

Soon, under this news, a large number of comments appeared.

"Wang, thank you for your efforts, ABC go die!"

"The producers, represented by ABC, will respect the original work? ”

"I work in Hollywood, so I'm kind of a stakeholder. What I want to say is that the producers will not give up the final editing rights except under a lot of pressure.

As for the specific production company, it is inconvenient to disclose.

However, I still have to say to everyone: to get this result, the king must have sacrificed great interests!"

Well, since Wang gradually studied the influence of writers, he has already made up his mind to be the representative of this "writers' resistance to capital".

"But give up huge benefits?"

Wang gradually recalled the recent events in his mind, and nodded his head very approvingly.

"After making a short film with such a high broadcast rate, ABC didn't pay even a dollar to himself. ”

"It's just too much!"

At this time, the internal phone rang.

"Mr. Wang, is it Neil?? Mr. Gaiman's phone number. ”

Well?

What is the matter with this unruly writer?

As soon as Wang gradually picked up the phone, he heard Neil?? Gaiman's personal voice rang in his ears.

"Wang, me and George?? Martin has reached out to a lot of young writers. ”

"Everyone has already watched the earlier part of "Anomalous Creature Observations", and they are also preparing to watch the ABC drama version of "Anomaly Creature Observations" broadcast tonight. ”

"In any case, we think you have upheld the dignity of a writer. ”

"If nothing changes in the ABC, we will all speak out in the media to support you. ”

Belch...

Writers and gentlemen, don't be too picky...

Wang gradually paused for a moment, and said in a voice that had received acting guidance: "Thank you, thank you so much." ”

"King, the writers are with you!" Neil ?? Gaiman continued to cheer for Wang Gradually, "Although there is no direct contact, as far as I know,"

"Including Stephen?? Mr. Kim, Tony?? Ms. Morrison and others will all watch "Abnormal Creature Sights" tonight. ”

I...

Thank you so much!

With a trembling hand, Wang gradually hung up the phone.

A moment later, a deep male voice rang out in the office.

“Fuck！fuck！fuck！”

"Alas, I really didn't expect our boss to have such a strong affection for literature. A young editor listens to the voice of the office and whispers to his colleagues.

"Yes," the colleague nodded, "I have always complained that the boss is stingy, and I am reluctant to rent even the office building with elevators." ”

"Now it seems that the boss really wants to put all his wealth above literature!"

......

And at this time, inside the studio.

Michael?? Bei watched it over and over again, and the "Abnormal Creature Experience" that will be broadcast tonight.

This director, who is gradually rising in Hollywood, has a face that...

So a little nervous?

"Alas," Michael?? Bei drank coffee and looked at the agent, "I thought it would be an easy job to shoot a TV series." ”

"After all, it doesn't have as much box office pressure as the movies. ”

"But who would have thought that there are so many writers watching now. ”

And these people can greatly affect the Golden Globe Awards and Oscar judges' perception of a director. ”

"Michael," the agent stood up and patted Michael?? Bey's shoulders as a sign of encouragement.

"The energy you put into this TV series is no less than that of "Brave Death Island". ”

Michael?? Bei took a breath and tapped his head.

It's just that there is still a little bit of tension in his heart.

As a director of commercial films, he has never been loved by the Oscar judges.

But as a filmmaker, who wouldn't want to win the Oscar, the highest award for American cinema?

"I really didn't expect that under such circumstances, I would be tested by the American literary community. ”

Michael?? Bei picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Hopefully," he smiled wryly, "I won't be scolded too badly this time." ”
