DOS Ch-265
The reporters and cameramen erupted the moment I stepped out of the car. They usually got excited, but tonight felt different—charged, almost electric. I wasn’t sure if it was the shirtless Givenchy suit, or the fact that this was my first public appearance in the United States since the release of . Whatever the reason, the energy was surreal. “TROY!”“I LOVE YOU!”“MARRY ME!” A small cluster of fans was gathered in a cordoned-off section behind a wall of security. Their chants rang…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“But General Motors is considered one of the worst stocks to invest in right now,” Patricia said with a small frown. “I may not be as savvy an investor as Richard, but even I know that.” Troy smiled faintly, leaning back in his chair lazily. “Exactly. It’s hovering near its all-time low of the last decade. I had a meeting with someone very high up in the government a few days ago and received some information about what’s happening behind the scenes, things not yet known to the public.…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“Okay, where do you want to go?” I asked, my hands resting on the wheels of the Porsche 928 as I drove at a relatively slow speed for practical reasons. “I don’t know, Josh. I haven’t given it a lot of thought,” Daryl said from the passenger seat before turning around at the sound of a honk. “Oh, shit! Here he comes,” she whispered exasperatedly. “Here who comes?” asked Ron from behind me, turning to look out the back window. “My manager,” Daryl replied casually, as if…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

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…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

As I looked down at the revised production budget of , I couldn’t help but curse my stubbornness. Not only had my father saved me $50k by offering cameras and other equipment, but he had also gone over each item on the list, struck out those that he thought were unnecessary, and suggested cheaper alternatives. When he was done, our final budget of $1m had come down to $920k.

“Troy, what was the name of that restaurant we went to last time here?”I silently kept reading the screenplay in the back of our car.“Do you remember when we snorkeled on that island we booked a few years ago? That was fun, wasn’t it?”I shot a deadpan stare at my mother, only to receive a mischievous grin in return. She had decided in her utmost wisdom to try to make me break character. After the first day, it had become a game of sorts between us, one I was oddly enjoying—but I wouldn’t let…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

"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.

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…- 965.9 K • Ongoing
