DOS Ch-346
I walked into the living room of Casa Encantada after a long shower, which was badly needed after my hectic two-hour gym session involving weightlifting and Muay Thai. Working out has become my routine now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I used to maintain my shape in my past life as well, but back then it was mostly because of my profession. Who wants to see a pornstar who isn’t in good shape? Now, though, I do it as much for my health as for the aesthetics it adds to my looks. I walked…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-76 & 77
“Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

Me: Are you considering Ryan Gosling for one of the major roles in a franchise? Tobias: We’re in talks. Kevin offered him Hawkeye first, but Ryan’s ambitious and wanted a name movie, like Captain America. I declined that request since he isn’t American. After that, he agreed to do Thor. We’d have signed him already, but he’s asking for a higher salary than what you approved. Me: And why wasn’t I told about it? You know he’s a friend of mine. Tobias: Ryan asked us not to involve you.…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

DOS Ch-369
“It’s called impostor syndrome,” Scarlett said in a soft voice. “It’s the most common psychological problem actors have to face. And this is especially true for actors who are good at their jobs. People praise us so much that we start doubting their words.” “I’m not a psycho,” I retorted. “I don’t have any issues.” Scarlett gave me an unimpressed look but didn’t argue. Her fixed stare was enough to make me avert my gaze. “Have you ever faced this impostor syndrome?” I…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-52
“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“You were marvelous in the show,” the old man said, pulling me into a warm, lingering hug. “This is hands down my favorite musical of the 21st century.” “Thank you, Steven,” I said sincerely once he let go. “Man, it’s been so long since we last met.” “It has,” Steven Spielberg agreed with a fond smile. “And even longer since we worked together.” “True,” I said, gesturing for him to take the seat opposite me in my far-too cramped changing room. That was the life of a…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

June 2009, Phoenix Motion Pictures HQ (Formerly Sony Columbia) “We would love for you to continue working on the film,” Tobias said emphatically. He leaned forward in his chair, palms pressed together, as if trying to soften the blow. “You are a great director. But this is not the direction we want to go in.” Not satisfied with the answer, the man in question turned to me. Chris Columbus adjusted his glasses before giving me a frustrated look. “Believe me, Troy, this is the perfect…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

Bill, the editor of Friday the 13th, leaned back in his chair with the kind of pride only a veteran could carry. The small editing room around us was the first time I had been in a setup like this, and I was beyond excited to learn something new. Reels of film were stacked in metal cans along the walls, giving the place a faint smell of celluloid and dust. “Film editing is the most crucial part of making a movie,” Bill said passionately. His voice echoed a little in the cramped space. “I can’t…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

Taylor looked around nervously. The room was packed in a way that only happened on one of the most stacked nights of the month for American music. Wherever you looked, you could spot a superstar somewhere. Beyoncé chatted near the bar with Jay-Z, Lady Gaga wore a unique outfit that caught every camera flash, and Britney Spears conversed with Madonna against a backdrop of giant screens looping past VMA highlights. It was the kind of room that screamed fame. So it was understandable why Taylor felt a…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

“What is it?” Emily looked between Benji and me curiously. “What happened?” Benji opened his mouth to answer her, but I cut him off. “Nothing of importance. You will find out soon enough. For now, let's meet the cast quickly. I have to get my body spray-painted for today’s scene, which will take some extra time.” Emily pouted, though she didn't argue, and led me toward a lounge area on the other side of the set. The space felt relaxed, with the cast members lounging on couches and…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
