Chapter 171: Revenue Sharing
The revenue sharing for the movie, after being reduced by theater cuts and Universal's various promotional expenses, may not be as high as it seems on the surface. However, the amount reaching Allen’s hands is still in the millions.
Not to mention, the subsequent DVD release will bring in another share of income for him.
Compared to the box office, Allen is even more optimistic about the DVD market for Paranormal Activity. In the origi...

Chapter 261: Lightning Style - Kirin!
The distance between him and Killer Bee could be crossed in the blink of an eye—less than a single breath—for a ninja.
But standing in his way was none other than the Third Raikage, Ay.
Like a wall of impenetrable lightning, Ay blocked all paths forward, barring Uchiha Shinji's advance.
In this moment, Uchiha Shinji didn’t have the luxury of deliberation.
Could he muster enough strength to break through the Third Raikag...

Ahhh, ahhh!
Cheers and shouts reverberated like waves, spilling from the stage to the backstage. At this moment, even the backstage crew paused their busy tasks to witness the August 31st Band receiving their award. With the utmost enthusiasm, they warmly welcomed the band’s triumphant return.
A bustling crowd lined both sides of the backstage area, raising their hands in an impromptu salute to the band members of August 31st.

Meanwhile, on the other side…
Seimei, after his shadow clone slipped out of sight from a bunch of Mist ninjas, seized the moment and canceled the "Shadow Clone Technique" in a flash.
Then, he strutted right out of the elder’s mansion like he owned the place.
Along the way, he ran into several squads of Mist Village patrol teams rushing toward the scene.
Too bad for them—they didn’t even notice him!
Once he reached a quiet, empty corner, Se...

“Heh, talk about tight security!” 😏
It didn’t take long for Seimei to reach the area near Genshi’s residence.
Perched on a big tree in the distance, he fired up his Byakugan, scoping out the setup around Genshi’s mansion like a hawk.
You could tell the guy took his safety seriously. The place was crawling with at least twenty ninja guards, inside and out.
Too bad for them, none of that meant squat to Seimei. 😎

A comic book store near the Hofstadter residence.
“Everyone, let me introduce you!”
As soon as Leonard walked in, he clapped his hands and announced, “This is Adam Duncan, the original author of Lord of the Mysteries and my best friend—Leonard Hofstadter!”
“So young?”

The comic book store was filled with nerds who all turned to look. Seeing how young and good-looking Adam was...

At this moment, Amachi felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He had been searching tirelessly for a worthy opponent to face, but instead of finding one, he had been worn down by someone who had already been defeated by the very person he was looking for.
Just thinking about it made him realize how naive and laughable his previous mindset had been.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding doesn’t have a ton of filming locations—just a handful like Toula’s house, the travel agency, the high school, the restaurant, the church, and a few others. But Toula’s house? That’s the star of the show, hands down.
Filming’s been smooth sailing so far. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll wrap the whole thing up in the next month. 🎉 Even better, Nicole Kidman’s suddenly warmed up to Dunn for some reason—don’t ask me why, but...

Dunn recruited 42 people from the grassroots to be his core team, but two of them were just hopeless—lazy and useless—so they got fired. 😒
Even with these people, it wasn’t enough to shoot a high-quality Hollywood movie. So, Dunn ended up using AA’s “half-packaged” service.
AA handled filling in the gaps for extras and crew members, but the production had to pay an extra $2 million for it. 💸

“What? Really?” Dunn’s face shifted, full of concern. “Brian, what’s going on?”
Brian shook his head with a sigh. “Not great, man. There was an accident on set—a backdrop wall collapsed and hit over a dozen people.”
Dunn’s expression turned heavy. ...

She’s been living at Dunn’s place for over a month now, but his attitude lately has been kind of a bummer for her. 😕

But as time went on, that fire in him clearly cooled off. He’s not as crazy about h...

The traditional Hollywood movie model used to be pretty straightforward: first, you’d have a script, and then you’d find the right producer, director, and actors based on that script. Simple, right?
But then the commercial boom of the ‘90s hit, and everything flipped upside down. Total game-changer!
Nowadays, Hollywood runs on a producer-centric system, especially for those big-budget blockbusters. It all starts with a producer who’s got a spark of an idea. They tea...

Sure, the Anbu ninjas are the ones Yagura trusts most. In Seimei’s head, there’s a solid chance he’d hand the job of finding and capturing the tailed beast to them.
But that’s just a guess—nothing’s 100% certain.
Plus, no matter which village you’re in, Anbu missions are risky as hell.
And that means they’re way more likely to bite the dust than your average ninja.
Now, the odds of all seven of his sleeper agents getting wiped out over th...

Over here, Seimei had just finished turning one of the hidden agents into his pawn.
Meanwhile, over there, a Rock Village Anbu was clashing with a group of Mist Village Anbu.
The Rock Village Anbu had impeccable timing. Before the Mist Anbu could close in, he unleashed the "Water Release: Mist Hiding Technique," shrouding everyone’s vision and senses in a thick fog.
But theMist Anbu weren’t pushovers either.
