Chapter 212

The next morning, in ABC's office building.

James was staring at the phone in a daze, rubbing his messy hair with his hands.

Just this morning, Wang Jian has called himself three times.

Although they were all delayed by the assistant under the pretext of "being in a meeting".

But it still made James feel that he was almost allergic to the telephone ring.

"What does NBC want to do? Do you really want to trigger a media war? " He complained in a low voice, "damned company executives, don't they say that after the discrimination crisis is over, they will no longer hype this hot spot?"

"And Wang, isn't that..." James took a sip of coffee and continued to talk to himself.

A moment later, he sighed.

Well, if you're a quasi billionaire, you'll probably be like the "old money" in the upper east side.

Try to reduce the sense of existence and enjoy the rich life with peace of mind.

"Mr. James, I have a call for you." The assistant's voice rang out through the answering machine, "it's from Mr. Wang Jian."

“shit！” James murmured.

From what happened in the Los Angeles post before, we can see that Wang did not have the kind of forbearance virtue of ordinary Chinese Americans.

And now, he has become a billionaire...

"ABC has not reported the scandal of billions!" James cheered himself up.

But in his mind, he immediately remembered that his former colleague was forced to resign because he reported that Oracle boss Alison held an XX party.

"Freedom of the press, freedom of speech!" As James meditated, he picked up the phone.

"Wang, I'm just a quasi senior member of the film and television production department..." he said quickly in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jian on the other end of the phone didn't mention it at all.

"James, it's time for the abnormal creatures tonight, isn't it?"

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

Huh?

Why is Wang so serious about "abnormal"?

Didn't he get the license fee?

In James' mind, a lot of questions came up in a flash.

But...

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

"Yes." James quickly replied, "we've cut the routine into the second and third episodes."

"Although it is impossible to describe daily life with a lot of space like the original, it will still make the fans of the original see the change."

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

Then he went to Twitter and posted a message on his account.

"Through the communication with ABC, the play version of the strange creatures will be adapted on the basis of respecting the original work."

"There will be two episodes of" abnormal "tonight

Soon, under the news, there were a lot of comments.

"Wang, thank you for your efforts. ABC, go to hell!"

"Will the producers represented by ABC respect the original? Ha ha, I know everything. "

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

As for the specific production company, it is not convenient to disclose.

However, I still want to say to you: to get this result, Wang must have sacrificed his huge interests! "

Well, since Wang Jian studied the influence of writers, he has made up his mind to be the representative of "writers resisting capital".

"But give up a huge profit?"

Wang Jian recalled recent events in his mind and nodded his head with great approval.

"ABC didn't pay even one dollar for making such a high rate short film."

"It's too much!"

Then the inside line rings.

"Mr. Wang, it's Mr. Neil geiman."

Huh?

What's the matter with this recalcitrant writer?

As soon as Wang Jian Gang picked up the phone, he heard Neil Gaiman's distinctive voice ring in his ear.

"Wang, George Martin and I have contacted many young writers."

"You've seen the first part of the strange creatures, and you're going to watch the ABC version of the strange creatures tonight."

"In any case, we all think that you have safeguarded the dignity of the writer."

"If ABC doesn't change anything, we will support you in the media."

Er...

ladies and gentlemen, please don't be too pickyAfter a pause, Wang Jian said in his voice after receiving the acting guidance, "thank you. Thank you so much."

"Wang, the writers are with you!" Neil geiman continued to cheer up for Wang Jian, "although there is no direct contact, as far as I know,

" including Mr. Stephen King, Ms. Toni Morrison, etc., they will watch the news of abnormal creatures tonight. "

Thank you very much!

Wang Jian hung up with a shaking hand.

A moment later, there was a deep male voice in the office.

“Fuck！ fuck！ fuck！”

"Well, I didn't expect our boss to have such a strong feeling for literature." A young editor listened to the voice of the office and sighed in a low voice to his colleagues.

"Yes," the colleague nodded, "I always complained that the boss was stingy, even the office building where the elevator was installed was reluctant to rent."

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

...

at this time, in the studio.

Michael Bay watched over and over again, tonight's "what's happened to abnormal creatures.".

This director, who is growing up in Hollywood, is a little nervous?

"Well," Michael Bay said as he drank his coffee and looked at his agent, "I thought it would be an easy and profitable job to take on TV dramas."

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

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

"These people, in turn, can greatly influence the Golden Globe and Oscar judges' perception of a director."

"Michael," the agent stood up and patted Michael Bay on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"You've put as much energy into this TV series as you did in" brave island. "

Michael Bay took a breath and nodded his head.

Just his heart, still a little nervous.

As a commercial director, he has never been loved by the Academy Awards.

But as a filmmaker, who doesn't want to win the Oscar, which symbolizes the highest award of American film?

"I didn't expect to be tested by the American literary world under such circumstances."

Michael Bay took his coffee and took a sip.

"I hope..." he said with a wry smile, "it won't be too miserable this time."
