DOS Ch-105
Silence. Dead silence was what I faced when my first commercial was finally seen by my family. I would have accepted shouting, berating, hell, even physical violence over this.Evan, the smartest one of all, had the presence of mind to get up, walk over to me, pat my back sympathetically (while barely concealing his laughter from me), and then go to his room.Still, my parents didn’t say anything for a few minutes, making me utterly uncomfortable.“So?” I prodded when the silence became too…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

"Bullshit!""Troy," Dad and Mum said my name in unison. Dad's voice carried a weariness that matched the late hour, while Mum's was sharp with a warning edge, the kind that always made me pause."What!?" I shot back, my frustration spilling over. "You know I'm right. They agreed to a 5% share of the musical only because I said I'd share my salary with my co-actors. And now they want a win-win situation for them? Forget it, we'll contact other studios for the musical, and is on hold till then. Did you get…- 965.9 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…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“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…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

I looked over at the modest house, about a half-hour’s drive from my parents’ place. The neighborhood was quite well-off, for a woman who, at one point, had been desperate enough for money to disparage me publicly.“Are you okay, Troy?” Paolo, my head of security, asked, his tone laced with concern. “We can go back and come here later if you want.”The way he kept scanning the area for potential threats made his true worry obvious: my safety if anyone recognized me.“No,” I shook my head. “I…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“Do you agree to these conditions as laid out by this contract and the remuneration of $250,000?” A judge asked me with an almost incredulous expression on his face. Asshole. He didn’t have to state my compensation for the Sixth Sense out loud. He was probably jealous that I, a 9-year-old, was earning from this movie more than what he probably earned for an entire year. Steve and Kathy took quite some time negotiating my remuneration with the producers. At first, they were offering me only…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Meeting Evan again was like healing a long-festering wound. I didn’t apologize to him. Nor did he to me. We just went back to how things were before our little fight. That’s the best part of being a child. If we had had this dispute as adults, it would have been almost impossible to get back to the same point where we left off so easily. Evan’s parents, who had accompanied him to Cannes, left soon after and we began our trip.It was great being away from fame for such a long time. Don’t get me…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Tobias O’Brien was not sure what he was thinking when he sent that email to Troy Armitage. A boy, who may only be fourteen years old at the moment, but everyone knew him. And why wouldn’t they? Troy was one of the highest-paid actors in the world with the second Harry Potter film and for good reasons. He had done only five movies in his life, and all of them were massive successes, raking in a total of $3.64 billion, which gives an average movie collection of $728 million. This is the highest of any…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

January 2005, Warner Bros HQ, Burbank, CA“What?” I asked, surprised. I hadn’t expected this at all. The way Barry phrased the question didn’t make any sense. If he wouldn’t accept this proposal, I’d simply go to Universal who gave me the second-best offer.“I have offers from other studios as well if you won’t agree with this,” I said after a few moments.“I know,” Barry nodded knowingly. “I just needed to have a face-to-face chat with you about this. A chat your father would not…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Patty was more than a little excited to learn that Troy Armitage was finally releasing his first music album. And not just any album—it was part of a movie coming to the cinema soon enough.So, like any good fan, she did what she had to do: she got in line to buy said album."Seriously, this is so unexpected," her best friend Claire complained. "This is literally his first album. Why are people so excited about it? He could be terrible in it."Patty turned to her and smiled before she started singing her…- 965.9 K • Ongoing
