Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 180 - 178: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Real estate tycoon Donald, First Lady Hillary?

How did these two come to notice Twitter?

Wang Jian asked with some confusion, "What were they saying?"

"Donald is ranting about illegal immigration issues, and Hillary is calling for further advancement of women’s rights," Dorsey clicked his mouse twice and rapidly responded.

"Besides, their views are quite radical, and they probably wouldn’t be published in mainstream media."

Were they trying to make a clear statement by publishing their own opinions?

Could these two heavyweights be contemplating a presidential run?

Wang Jian was somewhat speechless.

However...

As long as it wasn’t like Nicole Kidman, harping on the voting issue, it didn’t matter.

He pondered for a moment, "Give them verification, treat them like regular celebrities."

After hanging up the phone, James asked, "Wang, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing," Wang Jian replied with a smile, "Let’s continue."

Having looked over the actors’ costumes with James, he nodded approvingly.

He had to admit, ABC’s decision to bring in the lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret to sponsor the costumes for "Anomalies and Creatures" was extremely wise.

These second-tier actresses, adorned with delicate wings, tails, and ears, exuded both ethereal charm and sexiness.

Wang Jian felt that just these costumes alone could boost the ratings by at least two points.

However, as the actors posed for promotional photos, he couldn’t help but frown.

"Why is Joseph Gordon holding a pot in his hands?"

"The home furnishings giant Williams has provided a $7 million sponsorship for the production of ’Anomalies and Creatures’," answered James.

Wang Jian recalled from the original work where a pot had appeared.

Was this the mother of the Mermaid? The nominal wife of the male lead?

But that wasn’t worth seven million dollars!

And then...

He noticed the mop in Kate Beckinsale’s hand, the screwdriver with Lily Collins, and even the kitchenware in Naomi’s hands, all branded with the Williams logo.

"Wang, want some M&M’s?" Vera whispered as she came up beside Wang Jian.

As a minor character, she didn’t need to keep her distance.

Vera even hoped that others would know about her relationship with Wang Jian.

The somewhat dazed Wang Jian subconsciously picked up two pieces of candy.

Wait...

Why did the bag have a cat food logo on it?

"Cough." James coughed lightly, "Meow Mix cat food is also a sponsor."

It truly lived up to the name of the entertainment industry, this desperate desire for money seemed to be in their bones.

Curious, he looked at James and asked quietly, "What’s the total sponsorship fee for ’Anomalies and Creatures’?"

James smiled and held up four fingers.

$40 million?

Wang Jian compared this number with "Prison Break" and "Prison Break Special Forces."

"Sigh, exposure really does equate to money!"

Such a thing couldn’t be envied; in the whole of America, there are only three major broadcast networks after all.

However...

Looking at the current situation, the development of the internet was getting faster and faster.

And as a site where everyone could voice their opinions, Twitter might well become the internet equivalent of a broadcast network.

In that case, the business strategy had to be more proactive!

After the shoot with Samuel Jackson’s "666" themed costume was complete, Wang Jian suggested leaving.

"Mr. James, I have some matters to attend to," Wang Jian said, "Please take care of these two employees for me."

"Don’t worry," James replied, "Once the photo shoot is finished, I’ll take them to pick out some photos."

Half an hour later, Wang Jian was in his office, looking at the backend data with a frown.

After the voting incident, with a batch of celebrities leaving, Twitter users also experienced a dramatic decline. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Even with an IPO, this condition wouldn’t attract a high valuation.

And without a significant amount of capital, relying solely on wangwen.com’s revenue, how could an internet broadcast network be built?

Wang Jian thought about the media’s usual tactics and made up his mind in secret.

If there was no buzz, then he’d create it!

As long as he could get users to slowly develop the habit of using Twitter, any means were worth trying!

He pondered for a moment and began to check the statements celebrities were making on Twitter.

Aside from Naomi Watts, who was in the lead, the celebrity with the most followers was currently Drew Barrymore.

She was showing her fans a full picture of the luxurious lifestyle of a Hollywood actress.

After some thought, Wang Jian began searching for words like "Africa" and "poverty."

Then he saw Angelina Jolie.

Wang Jian pondered for another moment before picking up the phone.

"Dorsey, change the links around. Make sure Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie appear on the same page."

"After the flaunting of wealth, there must be an immediate follow-up with messages about charity."

After hanging up the call, he sank into thought again.

Such a contrast seemed like it could only be staged within the realm of show business...

His thoughts shifted, and his eyes settled on the profile pictures of Donald and Hillary.

...

In Silicon Valley, inside a room gathered with hackers.

The hackers, who had just received a payout of thirty thousand US dollars, were joyously switching out various computer peripherals.

The hacker leader looked at everyone and clapped his hands, "Although we made a deal with the capital, that’s only temporary!"

"Now we’ve got the weapons we wanted!"

"It’s time for us ’Robin Hoods’ of the internet to officially begin our legendary journey!"

"Ding-a-ling..."

The passionately speaking hacker leader nearly choked with frustration.

He hesitated for about half a minute but then picked up the phone.

"We are... eighty thousand dollars?"

After hanging up the phone, the hacker leader swallowed hard.

"Actually..."

"Hewlett-Packard has just launched a new computer model, anyone interested in trying it out?"

Okay...

For such a situation, the many hackers had already developed an immunity.

In unison, they said, "Changing peripherals is just changing the jacket!"

"What we need to replace is the weapon!"

Seeing everyone’s understanding, the hacker chief silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

"This time it’s still on Twitter, but we’re going to split into four teams."

He pointed at a few people with his finger, "You go leave messages for Drew Barrymore, saying that Angelina Jolie’s fans think she’s a wasteful spender."

"You others do the opposite, leave messages for Angelina Jolie, saying Drew’s fans think she’s just using charity to cover up her promiscuous nature!"

"What about us?" a few who hadn’t been pointed to asked.

They didn’t want to miss out on the easy money-making opportunity.

The hacker leader’s expression turned serious, "Our target is no longer the stars of the entertainment circle."

"It’s Donald and Hillary!"

"This..." The remaining hackers were slightly taken aback, not having expected this.

"This operation is technically demanding, but the payoff is substantial."

"How much?" someone asked.

"Fifty thousand dollars!" the leader replied.

Fifty thousand dollars?

They would do it even if it meant protesting in front of the White House, let alone just attacking online!

The hacker leader saw his eager companions and wore a look of smug anticipation.

"Watch how I do it." He walked over to the computer and began typing on the keyboard.

However, what he was thinking was: "According to that person just now, this kind of thing will require long-term cooperation in the future."

"So, should I consider changing professions?"
