STS Ch-80
“Oi! Wanker! I need those lights o’er here!” A man came rushing over with the lights toward the first AD, who was coordinating the crew on set. “Did he just call a crew member a wanker?” Tom asked in bewilderment. I shrugged. “Could be his nickname or something. I really don't wanna ask.” Tom laughed and shook his head. We admired the view of Northern England spread out before us. Away from the bustling environment of a big city like London, this was the real deal. Sure, the…- 259.9 K • Ongoing

After a whole month of relentless dance rehearsals and dialect lessons, it was finally time for the table read.As soon as I sat down, I saw that most of the people had already arrived. I immediately recognized Stephen Daldry from my audition, and of course, Peter Darling, my dance teacher. Then there were Greg and Jon, the producers I met while signing the contract. Jon was an okay guy, but Greg seemed a bit stiff when we last met.Among the cast members present, I instantly recognized the most famous one,…- 1.0 M • 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…- 1.0 M • 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. So instead of being over budget by $150k, I was saving $80k.“You won’t save this money either,” Dad had said after finalizing…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

It felt like a betrayal when he had to piece it together after reading the news.Troy Armitage, Warner Bros.’ biggest collaborator of 2005, had suddenly jumped ship to…- 1.0 M • 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. "And for the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

December 2010, USA Patty stared at her screen restlessly, refreshing the page every few seconds. “You know, refreshing the page won’t change the timer,” Claire commented idly from behind her. “The video will still be released in ten minutes. No need to keep refreshing it.” Patty turned to her friend, a little incensed. “Do you have any idea how long it’s been since one of Troy’s songs was released? And this time it’s with Rihanna. ‘Closer’ and ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

How the hell would he play Josh? He's too... cool. I need a lovable nerd for that role, not a guy who spends half his time at the gym. He could play Christian if he wanted to. Maybe even Elton, but Josh? Hell no. Ugh. Not again. I was already starting to hate the casting industry. Brad Pitt was undoubtedly one of the most handsome men of this era, yet I didn't see casting directors turning him down for roles. So why did my appearance irk them so much? I realized my mistake as soon as I looked down…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
