“For the first scene,” Stephen Daldry began his explanation, “we’ll start with your dance sequence on the street, which you’ll take to the roof. As you dance, Jamie Bell will watch you from there,” he pointed to a spot where Bell was standing, “and Jamie Draven will watch you from there,” Draven, who played Billy’s brother, waved from the window to which I reciprocated. “Peter says you know the whole thing very well by now.”“Oh yes, Mr. Darling and I have practiced it a lot,” I…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting a golden glow over the slightly wet sand that stretched seemingly endlessly before us. The waves lapped gently at the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that was a world away from the chaos of film sets and bustling cities. I took a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air, and felt a wave of contentment wash over me. The sunshine was perfect for me. Too bad my contract forbade me from sunbathing while the films were in production. This was heaven.I can't believe I…

- I blame my teenage hormones for agreeing to Emily’s request. Any sane person would tell me that this is a very bad idea. Kissing someone for a scene is one thing, but doing it for ‘practice’ while all alone was unnecessary and almost as bad as cheating. I knew that very well. Still, I agreed to Emily’s request for reasons that I couldn’t fathom.But it wasn’t meant to be. As if some divine power was watching over me, I got a call from Emma right at the moment when Emily was about to kiss…

Everyone was gathered around Alan Arkin, who was lying flat on the floor with his eyes closed. Toni Collette was hovering over him.As soon as I crouched beside her, she turned to me in panic. "We've called 9-1-1, but they'll take some time to get here. Do you know CPR?"I didn't. I opened my mouth to say so, but then I noticed something…

- “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…

- "Shawn," I turned to Jay-Z with a serious expression. "You're one lucky bastard to have a girl like her."Beyoncé laughed melodically before pulling me into a hug. "Thank you for that, Troy." Then, looping her arm through mine, she turned to her partner with a teasing smirk. "You should appreciate me more. If you don't, I might just elope with this hunk right here.""Like hell you will," Jay-Z shot back playfully. "You're not running off with some kid.""I'm standing right here," I pointed out. "And for the…

- October 2007, Kloves Residence, London“Do you realize how stupid that move was?” Mum asked, her voice steeped in disappointment. “I thought you were better than this, Troy. Isolating yourself for the better part of the year is not cool.”I looked across the room at the other two occupants—Dad and Evan.The latter had wrapped up the joint production of the first two movies while I was away, and was now back in London, enjoying front-row seats to the lecture my parents had decided to deliver.“Do…

- "It's on, it's on, it's on!" Emma squealed happily from beside me while grabbing my hand tightly. I smiled at her and turned towards Jamie, who was trying to look nonchalant. Trying was the keyword here.His posture didn't hide his excitement as we sat together in our living room past midnight, waiting for the award announcement.It was nice of Emma to suggest that she would support me for my award ceremony. Jamie was not one to be left behind, so both of them had asked permission from their respective…

- "Finally!" I exclaimed as I sat beside my parents in the theater at our home. "I thought you would never be done with this film. You said it would take a week to finish it, and that was more than a month ago!""Stop whining," Evan clapped back in irritation while setting up the projector. "Do you want to see it or not?"I promptly shut up hearing that."Besides," Evan continued as he walked over to us after dimming the lights, "Alfonso inspired me a lot with his filming techniques, and I made some changes in…

- October 2004, Kloves Residence, London"Are you absolutely sure about your decision, Alfonso?" Steve asked the Mexican director he had worked with over the past few years. He had grown to respect and admire his craft a lot, so his decision pained him a little."Yes," Alfonso nodded. "As much as I loved working on these two films, I had already given my word, and I’m contractually bound to do that other film. I agreed with you to do the fifth and the sixth films initially because they hadn’t approached me…
