After a long discussion, Wang Jian and James reached a preliminary agreement on the television adaptation rights for "Anomalies and Creatures."

Because Wang Jian was no longer just a best-selling author, he had behind him a website, Twitter topics, and other online resources with pretty decent user traffic.

Thus "Anomalies and Creatures" bagged a contract for an American TV series similar to the one given to the scriptwriters of "Friends"—a top-tier IP deal.

However, part of this was probably due to ABC's lack of serious competition.

Of course, Wang Jian did not push for further demands, such as participating in the production or anything like that.

It wasn't that he was suddenly generous; it was mainly because such a large investment was too much for a website that hadn't gone public yet!

In the end, the agreement reached was: "Anomalies" would run for 30 episodes per season, and the website would collect a licensing fee of 2 million US dollars per season.
