After a week of negotiations, Mum had finally confirmed my salary. As she had predicted, my base salary was $2 million for the first part, and they may increase it to $5 million or even higher for the second part based on my performance and other factors like the film’s box office. For every consecutive movie, the earlier film’s performance would be a benchmark for increasing any future remuneration.Then came the part of box office and home revenue participation. I would get the same percentage of the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Barry Meyer could sense a headache coming from a mile away. Sometimes he was baffled by the sheer stupidity that some members of Warner’s board of directors showed. Every once in a while, a studio would stumble upon a goldmine of a film that changed their profitability immensely. It was disheartening to know that some people were too stupid to realize that.“You have to tell them that the amount we are paying them is too much,” Sherry Peters, one of the most vocal members of the board, said firmly.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Lea couldn’t believe her luck. It had to be luck. What else could it be? Just yesterday, her best friend Jonathan and she were scheduled to fly to Pittsburgh to audition for a role in a Troy Armitage movie. Struggling actors like them couldn’t afford to pay for their tickets. Thankfully, the production team liked their audition tapes so much that they also sent over flight tickets. They were economy, but better than going on their own. Then the worst thing happened—they missed their flight because of…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Oh my fucking God!” Rihanna moaned in satisfaction while lying on my bare chest. “That was the best one ever. I think I’m addicted to you.”“Glad you think so, love.” I grinned, placing a kiss on her forehead. My hand traveled down her bare skin, and with every inch explored by my fingers, she shivered in anticipation.Unfortunately, I couldn’t give her another round just now, so I stopped at her lower back.“What?” She groaned in disappointment. “Why did you stop?”“You know why,”…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

"Seriously?" Rihanna shot me an irritated look. "You can't even guess why a singer would want to go on tour?""But I'm not a real singer like you," I argued. Even to my own ears, it sounded weak.That was apparently the wrong thing to say because Rihanna's response was anything but calm. "If you're not a singer, then who is!? Your album is still number one on Billboard. Are they stupid for including a non-singer's album on their list?""No…?" I answered hesitantly. "Are you okay, love? Why are you so angry…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

LunaBliss: I knew it! I knew Troy couldn’t be like that. How dare she make up so many lies? How can anyone live with themselves after saying things like that?PatAttack: I know! That’s exactly what I was thinking! Troy was such a sweet, perfect man when I met him. I couldn’t understand how he could break Rihanna’s heart like that—this obviously proves she didn’t tell the whole truth. Shame on her.FireStarter12: Poor Rihanna. Somebody call a fire truck; she just got burned badly.QuantumFox: A…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“FBI?” I asked for confirmation. “As in Federal Bureau of Investigation? That FBI?”The man was nice enough not to give me a sarcastic reply to the obvious.“Yes,” he nodded. “I am Special Agent Tom Walker. We have a search warrant here for this place. A federal judge has authorized it. You are not under arrest at this moment, but you are required to comply with this search. If you resist the search or prevent us from carrying out our duties in some manner, you can and will be arrested.”I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

@SereneDreamer: If you still think Troy’s wrong, then it’s obvious you’re missing a few brain cells. You wouldn’t blame a bookie for making money off the loss of your favorite team. Sure, Troy made money, but at least he’s giving back to charity instead of hoarding it. Most of you have no idea how much $4 billion actually is. No other billionaire has ever made such a generous donation. This will probably go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest donation ever. @NovaKnight: Love…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Steve drove over to the school with Kathy as fast as he could as soon as he received the call from Troy’s school.“Troy!” Kathy rushed over to her son and hugged him for dear life, only for him to groan in pain. She reluctantly separated from her son, only to see that Troy was holding his ribs painfully. His right eye was swollen shut, and despite his attempt to smile at her, He looked to be in a lot of pain. His right cheek was also slowly turning a darker shade.“Who did this?” Steve turned…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“$1 million,” Mum replied.“Holy…” I stopped myself before Mum could intensify her gaze any more. “Didn’t Dad say that musical rights are cheaper?”“Your Dad doesn’t know everything.” Mum smiled, “It all depends on the perceived value of the product. While most musicals are cheaper compared to their movie counterparts, this will be more expensive than the original because its budget was too low and stage actors have their minimum wages set at a much higher rate than film actors.…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
