“Mark my words, the MPAA will flag our film just because of that guy and his abnormally large tool,” Randall grumbled, not bothering to lower his voice. Thankfully, Noah was far enough away not to catch the remark, but several nearby crew members did, their stifled chuckles giving them away. Randall pinched the bridge of his nose. “Next time I make a movie like this, I’m asking my actors to get stark naked for the auditions. Fuck the SAG rules.” “It’ll be fine,” Nestor, the director…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
“Please welcome the biggest superstar on the planet. One of the best singers working in the industry right now, and the recipient of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. Troy Armitage, everyone!” The studio exploded the moment my name was announced. I walked out from behind the curtain, lights flooding the stage as the band struck up its familiar tune. I waved enthusiastically at the crowd, their cheers crashing over me in a wall of sound. The standing ovation was honestly a little too…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- “Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…

- Seeing the Box Office results of , I was cursing myself. Why the fuck didn’t I accept WB’s deal of profit sharing instead of a fixed salary? With my salary of $5m, which was 5% of the budget, I could have easily netted $23m from the theatrical rights alone. Not to mention, the DVD and VHS sales. I’m still not fully sure what the reason for ’s success was, but one thing was given, it was all because of me. Till now, all the films I had done were already hit films in the original timeline, so I…

- “I want to make a feature-length film for this year’s assignment,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I sat across from my film teacher. “I’ve got my own camera and sound equipment that I brought with me to Harvard, so that part shouldn’t be a problem.” Mr. Gardner leaned back in his chair and inclined his head, considering me over the rim of his glasses. “Usually, students go for the two short films. Ever since this class started, only one student tried making a thirty-minute film…

- I walked into Casa Encantada and found a scene I hadn't expected at all. Evan and Dad were on their knees, giving piggyback rides to Ace and Ian, respectively. From what I could see, they were both wearing some kind of harness for the kids’ safety and trying to race each other. Meanwhile, the two toddlers were having the time of their lives, judging by their happy giggles. Mum and Scarlett were sitting on the couch, happily watching the moment. I felt a pang of guilt for having missed more moments…

- AN: You can watch Extras S02E03 (available on Dailymotion for free) if you want to._________________________________The episode of Extras began like any other. Ricky Gervais' character, Andy Millman, a sitcom actor on a cringeworthy TV show, sat among fellow actors, doing a ridiculous impression of a fat middle-aged man with an awful afro and an even worse punchline:"Are you having a laugh?"His bumbling agent, played by Stephen Merchant, was as incompetent as ever. Andy had landed a film role, and his…

- “You’re lucky to even be considered for this role,” Paige said over the phone. “Of course,” I replied with exaggerated sadness. “Why would they consider this poor nobody?” “Don’t take it the wrong way,” Paige quickly explained. “I’m not doubting you. It’s just that the number of superstars they considered, and who turned it down, is too many to count.” “It says a lot about the quality of the film that so many superstars passed on it,” I joked. “True,” Paige…

- (Flashback) Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, looked on nervously as his boss examined the app on the iPhone Chad had just handed him. Technically, Troy wasn’t Chad’s boss because he didn’t hold any position in the company, but when he held more than 70% shares, it made sense that he was treated like a boss. The teenager was far from ordinary. Despite his age, he was the richest self-made teenager in history, and arguably one of the most powerful individuals in the world at that…

- 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.…
