Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 179 - 177: Candidate Confirmed

A few days later, after a careful data check and negotiations with agents, ABC announced that the casting process for "Anomalies and Creatures" had officially ended.

The final lineup was as follows, Joseph Gordon as the male lead, and Naomi Watts from "Prison Break" would play the vampire.

Latin beauty, Jessica Alba, thanks to a sudden idea from Wang Jian, received the role of the Husky, as if it was a gift from heaven.

Her slightly wheatish skin tone also quite matched that of the original character.

Samuel Jackson secured the role of Demon, and he was also the biggest name in the cast and the highest-paid actor.

As for what kind of deal the ABC had with their friend, director Quentin Stanow, Wang Jian was not clear.

But he thought there was no problem when he saw the black actor donned in prosthetic muscles and deliberately made-up to look ugly.

The role of the Demon Princess would be played by child actress Lily Collins.

As for skin color...

A black person can indeed only give birth to a black person.

But if you say demons are black, then we need to have a serious discussion about issues of racial discrimination.

The role of sea demon was given to British actress Kate Beckinsale.

The remaining two supporting roles, sea demon’s brother and Catwoman, went to Broadway.

Orlando Bloom and Vera Farmiga finally got their chance to grace the television stage.

However, even though the online voting had ended, it certainly left some impact.

While Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie and others were still complaining about not gaining anything,

Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore were astonished to find that this thing called Twitter was an excellent tool for whitewashing one’s dark history and pleasing fans.

Previously, the media would selectively support or smear celebrities based on box office, awards, etc.

Now, it seemed they had their own way to voice their thoughts.

"Maybe in the future, they might decide an actor’s status based on the number of Twitter comments."

Drew Barrymore, drunk, boldly speculated at the party.

And when Nicole Kidman saw her "best friend" getting the role she desired, she instantly thought of her relationship with that best-selling author.

She looked at her increasing fans and comments due to her husband Tom Cruise and decided to test her own clout.

"There’s definitely a scandal! The relationship between the lead actress and the author is highly questionable!"

And then...

Her Twitter account became the first to be banned from access.

"Sorry, because your statements violate relevant regulations, your access will be banned for three days."

Wang Jian watched as the programmer completed the operation and nodded in satisfaction.

"In my territory, who gave you the courage to spread information smearing me?"

"Wang," Tom approached, "Dorsey’s call."

Wang Jian took the phone and heard Dorsey’s voice come through.

"Wang, the office space and servers are ready, we can start transferring data now."

Wang Jian handed the phone to Chen Shijun and patted him on the shoulder.

"You know what to do, right?"

Chen Shijun looked at Wang Jian, nodded, and said, "Intercept the voting data."

Wang Jian was quite satisfied with the answer, and since he couldn’t help much with the technology,

he said, "You’re in charge here, okay?"

"No problem," Chen Shijun immediately responded.

He cherished this opportunity because he also had a plan similar to Jack Dorsey’s.

"After Twitter and wangwen.com go public, I can try to persuade Wang Jian to invest in me."

Wang Jian didn’t really care about his thoughts, the reason he left was to attend ABC’s casting event.

As the author, Wang Jian inherently had a strong say in these matters.

Not to mention, after the voting incident, ABC took Wang Jian’s influence very seriously.

"Any photography enthusiasts around?" Wang Jian asked in the office.

"Why?" Tom was a bit puzzled.

"Let’s mimic the newspapers and stir up some online buzz."

"I can do it." Tom was ready to go back to his desk to grab his camera.

"No." Wang Jian quickly grabbed his arm, "Your style of photography is like that of ’Texas Chainsaw Massacre.’"

Fortunately, as programmers belong to a high-salary field nowadays and since none of them had girlfriends, there indeed were a couple who loved photography.

"Boss, are we really going to photograph female stars?" one young programmer asked, barely able to keep his grin contained.

"Come on, we are media people now," Wang Jian patted his shoulder, "even if our influence isn’t as strong as a third-rate tabloid."

Half an hour later, Wang Jian led three people into the studio of "Anomalies and Creatures."

"Don’t look around too much; it’s quite embarrassing," he whispered, then shook hands with James.

"Wang, your suggestion to use voting to select actors really deprived everyone of a wonderful experience!"

"Ha." Wang Jian laughed, "As ABC’s deputy head of film and TV, would you really miss those?"

James shrugged and changed the subject, "The ratings for ’Everybody Loves Raymond’ are steadily increasing, you know, these comedies really stick with audiences."

"So we need to finish the casting and shoot the first episode as soon as possible."

"Wang, this way please."

Moments later, when everyone pushed open the grand doors, it felt like entering a fantasy world.

It had to be said, big investments really did pay off.

At least what appeared before them was quite different from the makeup balls Wang Jian had seen before.

Skipping past Joseph Gordon, the rather plain main character.

Whether it was Naomi Watts’s wings or Jessica Alba’s tail, the texture was unexpectedly good.

"How are they?" James asked, "These costumes are sponsored by Victoria’s Secret."

"I think, that guy Yuan Tong must have watched a Victoria’s Secret fashion show..." Wang Jian thought to himself.

Naomi Watts blinked quietly when she saw Wang Jian arriving.

Vera Farmiga, on the other hand, began swaying her tail unconsciously.

"Mr. Wang, hello. I’m Jessica Alba."

A Latin beauty with white ears on her head and a white tail hanging behind greeted Wang Jian.

And Wang Jian heard the sound of his two programmers swallowing their saliva behind him.

"Really... embarrassing." Wang Jian calmly shook hands with her and then approached the demon.

"Mr. Jackson, would you mind taking a couple of promotional photos?"

Just as he said this, Wang Jian felt a tug on his arm.

He turned around to see the two programmers nearly in tears.

Just then, Wang Jian’s phone suddenly rang.

He pressed the answer button and heard Dorsey’s voice.

"Data transfer is completed, no major issues."

"Also, some figures from politics and business have applied for verification, should we approve them?"

"Politics and business?" Wang Jian asked puzzled, "What are their names?"

"Real estate tycoon Donald Trump and First Lady Hillary Clinton." freewebnoveℓ.com
