Viola Davis and Carrie-Anne Moss turned toward me in unison, both immersed in rehearsing their lines before I arrived.“I’m sure you won’t find anything interesting between a pair of old hags,” Carrie joked.“Old hags?” I glanced around deliberately. “I don’t see any old hags here.” Then I turned to Benji. “Do you?”Benji, my ever-dutiful assistant, shook his head.“Benji doesn’t either,” I continued. “So, can I join you for rehearsals?”Viola gave me an appraising look from head…- 961.0 K • 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…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

(Flashback)"There are two films in particular that I loved more than the others. The first one is called ," Benji announced. "It's a hard R-rated teen comedy, even worse than when it comes to vulgar jokes. Reading it, I felt like a schoolboy had written it—it's that accurate to what actually happens in American high schools. And the humor? Out of this world. I nearly died laughing just from reading it."I was speechless. I absolutely loved . I had to do it at all costs. Benji was right—the movie…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

It was in the evening that I got some very good news. News, that immediately made me forget about the troubles of the school day, be it my best friend, my classmates, or the media problem. All paled in comparison to what Steve told me. “Is it true? You aren’t joking, right?” I asked again excitedly. Steve chuckled at my enthusiasm, “You remember my friend Barry Mendel? We met at Sundance in January?” I nodded enthusiastically, “Yes. He was the one who is around your age but has those…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

September 2006, Kloves Residence, London I had thought that after my conversation with Mum, things would be fine. I was wrong. Dad, who had been in Los Angeles for work for the past few weeks, was finally back home—and he wasted no time berating me all over again. “You’re being obtuse,” he said, disappointment evident in his tone. “Did you forget that by pushing this idea, you’re not just hurting Warner Bros., but us as well? You get 10% of ’s revenue. If you breach the contract on your…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Hey, gang, what’re we doing?” I asked cheerfully as I sat opposite Ricky Gervais and his co-star Ashley Jensen. The latter, a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties, played the female lead in the show—the woman my character was currently lusting after.“Just eating,” Ashley replied.“Sweet.” I nodded confidently before leaning forward. “Look, thanks for covering my arse earlier. The offer still stands.”“What offer?” she asked, bewildered.“You know.” I gave her a meaningful look.…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Coming back to London after so long felt like waking up from a dream and stepping back into reality. Unfortunately, I had to return without Rihanna—she needed to wrap things up in L.A. before moving here. Evan and Nadia were traveling separately from me since she was heading to her place, and Evan, ever the gentleman, had offered to drop her off. That left just me and Benji, who had flown straight to London since he already had all his stuff with him.“Troy,” Benji called out nervously. “You never…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

June 2006, British Virgin IslandsI lounged on the vast, sandy shore stretching as far as the eye could see, wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses. The sun's rays tanned my body perfectly from head to toe.“For the love of God, can’t you at least wear some trunks?” a female voice said, irritation clear in her tone.I tilted my head slightly toward the speaker, the girl I had met only recently. Nadia Anton, Evan’s girlfriend, was undeniably beautiful, with a buxom figure and wavy blonde hair…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“You have around $900 million in stock, give or take a few tens of millions,” Andrew Cohen said with a smug grin.Meanwhile, I sat there dumbfounded, unsure what to do with all that money.“That,” he added, “when combined with your 20% stake in Crocs, 70% in YouTube, and more than $100 million sitting in your bank account from your earnings for , officially makes you a billionaire now. Because it’s difficult to value those two companies, I’m not sure how much your net worth will come out to be…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

April 2006, Leavesden Studios, London, UKDick Parsons was not happy with whatever the fuck was going on at Warner Bros. As their subsidiary with the largest turnover, he had given Barry Meyer a lot of leeway in conducting their affairs. So it was considered common courtesy to reach out and have a conversation if something went awry. It felt like a betrayal when he had to piece it together after reading the news.Troy Armitage, Warner Bros.’ biggest collaborator of 2005, had suddenly jumped ship to…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
