“Cut!” The cameras stopped rolling almost immediately, and we both let out sighs of relief. “Don’t tell me you want to cast me in ?” Emily asked as soon as the mics were removed from us. “Fuck no,” I stated bluntly. “I won’t cast any of my friends in that film unless they beg me to, because I know it’s gonna make a lot of money, but it’ll sexualize you for years to come.” “Since when did you start caring about sexualizing actors? And if it was such a concern, why…- 1.0 M • 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…

“That was a fan-fucking-tastic movie, Noah.” Frank hugged me tightly and patted my back with gusto, as if telling me he was proud of me without actually saying it. “The changes you made to the film to give it a Valentine's theme were really commendable.” I chuckled when he released me. “Actually, those changes were suggested by Universal. I liked them, and they weren't too much of a hassle, so I agreed to do some reshoots. Had I not agreed to go back to Harvard to continue my education, I…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- The next day on set, I was met with a very apologetic Jamie.“Troy, I’m very sorry for my behavior yesterday. I hope you can forgive me,” Jamie pleaded, bending slightly at the front with his hands joined in a universal begging motion.“Okay,” I answered simply.Jamie looked up in surprise. “Okay?”I shrugged. “What else do you want me to do? Humiliate you? That’s what kids do. One piece of advice from me, though: if you want to survive in the industry for long, either make sure not to offend…

- The three men sitting in front of me, all wearing confident grins, made it clear that this negotiation wouldn’t be easy.“I think half a million would be the perfect remuneration for you,” David Friendly, the man on the far left, said. He was in his fifties, with a stocky build and a round face.“Absolutely,” Peter Saraf, seated in the middle, agreed. He looked similar to David in terms of age and build. “You know we only have an $8 million budget after accounting for state subsidies. So half a…

- ~I believe That God lives on a planet called Kolob I believe That Jesus has his own planet as well And I believe That the Garden of Eden was in Jackson County, Missouri~ The crowd went wild as Troy, as Elder Price, clasped the hand of the African warlord, General Butt Fucking Naked, and launched into a full-blown dance on stage. Scarlett looked around the hall and saw people losing their shit all around her, clapping, cheering, and wiping tears of laughter from their eyes as they…

- Once I was dressed for my photoshoot, I returned to Clarissa, who immediately sat me down and got to work on my hair. Within moments, she had gathered my shoulder-length locks into a tight bun. "You know," she mused as she adjusted a few loose strands, "Jordan’s still hoping you’ll cut this down to a more ‘manageable’ length." "Not happening," I said without hesitation. I liked my hair long. When she was done, I stood and checked myself out in the full-length mirror nearby. I looked…

- “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…

- “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…
