*Chapter 206: Recasting the Lead Actress*
Harvey’s offer this time was quite sincere.
After learning about DreamWorks’ bid for Hotel for Dogs last time, he proposed a deal of $29 million in cash, plus a box office bonus: for every $10 million the movie grosses beyond $60 million, Hermola Pictures would receive an additional $4.08 million.
Based on the $249 million global box office of the original film, Hermola Pictures could earn up to $102 million in revenue.
For a horror film withou...

Chapter 296: Scandals and Mother-Daughter Ties
“Tsk tsk, what an eyesore.”
New York City, Manhattan.
Inside the office at the Rockefeller Center’s International Building.
Milo flipped through a few photographs repeatedly before finally tossing them onto the desk.
Even by American standards, the content of the photos was scandalous.
They were enough to make anyone’s imagination run wild.
What made it even more sensational were the...

*New York, Suburbs*
In front of Mary Shaw's cabin.
A few BSI agents were busy wrapping up their final tasks outside the cabin.
"Have you heard the rumors?"
"They say this whole incident started because of a séance ritual uploaded by a couple of YouTubers..."
Behind them, yellow caution tape cordoned off the entire cabin.
Although the malicious spirit conjured during the séance had been exorcised by Amanda...

Chapter 246: The Tide Turns, Capturing the Prey in the Trap!
At this moment,
In Hell Valley, on the northern side, atop the tallest stone pillar,
an old man with ash-white hair, clad in a deep blue robe, sat alone.
Supporting his face with one hand, he surveyed the battlefield below.
The land lay in ruins, the result of a fierce confrontation between two massive, ferocious beasts. Yet, to the old man, the sight elicited no astonishment. He barely spared...

Chapter 1216: The Year-End Rankings
In 2002, Spider-Man shattered records with an unstoppable force, while Catch Me If You Can achieved box-office success in spectacular fashion. Together, these films propelled Anson Wood to unprecedented heights, cementing his rise to the pinnacle of Hollywood.
However, within the industry, doubts lingered about Anson's star power. Many questioned how much of the box-office explosion could be credited to him, given th...

"Maybe... I can use his identity to my advantage."
Looking at the Mist Anbu lying on the ground, Seimei muttered softly to himself.
Then, stepping forward, he quickly formed a series of hand seals and cast Mind-Reading Jutsu.
This time, there were no unexpected disruptions. Carefully avoiding memories sealed with barriers, he managed to extract useful information.
And he was not disappointed.
First, there was the matter of Yagura Karatachi locking...

*Boom—*

Tossing the two unconscious figures onto the ground, Seimei didn’t immediately cast a technique to read their memories. Instead, he kept his Byakugan activated, carefully scanning the surroundings.
Only after a long while, once he was sure that the sensory barrier in Kirigakure functioned similarly to Konoha’s—meaning it couldn’t detect spatial disturbances within—did he finally feel at ease.

The next day.
Early morning.
Since Karen had used her innate ability to predict rain today, Adam and his group got up at the crack of dawn, hoping to finish their hunt before the downpour.
Early mornings often see many animals venturing out for food.
It wasn’t long before Adam and his companions spotted a herd of deer—around a dozen, varying in size—grazing on the grass. Occasionally, they would lift their heads, ears perked high, scanning their su...

*Morning.*
Adam and Juno spent the entire morning dissecting animals and studying biological structures, frequently exchanging playful banter.
What would have otherwise been a rather gory scene felt surprisingly warm and almost comforting under the guise of practicing life-saving techniques.
For someone like Adam—who had never even killed a chicken before—jumping straight into such intense scenarios would normally be overwhelming. Yet, he showed no ...

The next morning.
After breakfast, Adam and the other two, each carrying a gun, ventured deep into the forest.
This was their first real hunting trip, and Adam was quite excited. Holding his gun and carrying a compound bow on his back, he scanned the surroundings eagerly, hoping to take the first shot and claim the honor of the first kill.
Although America has abundant forest resources and some animal populations even grow out of control, it’s not like wildlif...

“Game!”
“Ishikawa from Hyotei, 1-0. Switch sides!”
As the referee announced the score, everyone’s attention shifted to Fuji. However, the genius from Seigaku seemed to be in a daze, his expression blank.
“Fuji?”
The referee on the high chair called out to remind him, “It’s time to switch sides.”
“Oh, right. Thank you, I understand,” Fuji nodded politely.
Under the worried gazes of his teammates, Fuji walked to the other ...

"Was that... just now?"
Coach Ryuzaki, sitting in her seat, widened her eyes in shock.
"Yeah," said Inui, standing outside the chain-link fence with a grim expression. "That was Atobe's signature move—the Dance of Destruction."
"It's the same counter move that Oshitari used against Kaidoh in the match between Hyotei and Yamabuki earlier," Tezuka added, his tone equally serious. "This Ishikawa's insight and skill are nothing to underestimate."

"One win and two losses. Seigaku has finally managed to claw back a bit of hope."
Outside the court, Tachibana watched as Echizen and Akutagawa walked off the court and remarked with a sigh, "But now comes the real test for them."
"Yeah," Kamio and Inui nodded in agreement.
The reason? The remaining two singles players from Hyotei were genuinely top-tier national-level powerhouses.
As for Seigaku, aside from Tezuka, who could hold his own against them, t...

That afternoon, George Paxton came back to report on his work, looking all worried and stressed. 😟 *
When Dunn saw how serious George looked, he sighed inwardly. “Oh no… don’t tell me that book still hasn’t hit the shelves?”
He wasn’t totally sure, so he asked, “You didn’t find it?”
George shook his head. “I checked out the three biggest bookstores in London. For fantasy stuff, Tolkien’s works are still the hottest, followed by Lewis’s T...

Back when Titanic was released during the Christmas season, all it had to do was dominate that period. Afterward, the box office would naturally slow down, allowing it to maintain its lead.
And that's exactly what happened—Titanic held the No. 1 spot at the North American box office for an astonishing 15 consecutive weeks!
Such a legendary record would have been impossible during the summer season.

It was late at night, but Jon Landau was still wide awake. As a producer, he needed to draw inspiration from various sources, and talk shows were one of them.
But tonight’s episode of The Tonight Show had him breaking into a cold sweat.
“This is bad… this is really bad!”
Jon Landau’s face was as pale as a ghost. He had made several phone calls—every single one to a Hollywood big shot—desperately hoping for a way out.

Luke recognized her—the figure under the cloak was most likely Tifa.
Judging by the direction she came from, she must have emerged from the underground restroom area.
Luke quickly cast a Disillusionment Charm and followed, determined to find out what Tifa was up to.
But when he reached the corner, Tifa seemed to merge into the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, Barry Diller did not stop him.
What if Wayne really found someone he clicked with at the party?
From Barry's perspective, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

The first person to approach was Mena Suvari. She had once flirted with breaking into the second tier of stardom with American Pie and American Beauty....

Faced with Amanda’s question, Spike’s smile remained unchanged. He exchanged a glance with Jamie on the stage before turning back to A...

Screeeech—
In a moment that felt both fleeting and eternal,
the sound of a train chugging seemed to echo faintly in his ears.
As his thoughts whirled frantically, a slideshow of memories began to replay before his eyes—
scenes of battles fought up to this very moment flashed by in rapid succession.
Uchiha Shinji suddenly understood: this was the harbinger of power spiraling out of control. 2025-03-25 20:21:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Seimei collected his thoughts and stopped overanalyzing. Instead, he refocused his attention on the four people before him.
Even though they were just four insignificant figures, thanks to his advantage of "foresight," he had already pieced together the truth of the situation in his mind.
"So, should I go even deeper?"
The thought surfaced in Seimei’s mind.
But he quickly made up his mind—yes, he would go.

In the darkness ahead, a slightly immature voice broke the silence.
A moment later, another voice, somewhat more mature yet still carrying traces of youth, responded, "They're alright, I guess."
Hearing this, another young Kirigakure shinobi chimed in, "I think they're great! This way, we can finally trust each other with our backs."

The three of them finished tidying up and gathered on the couch to watch a video.
Of course, it wasn’t a soap opera.
Nor was it a horror movie.
And it definitely wasn’t an action-romance film.

Juno asked in surprise as she watched the surgical procedure in the video.

Funeral Home.
In front of Monica’s grandmother’s casket stood a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit.
Judging by his stance and expression, he didn’t seem to be a relative or friend.
He looked more like a staff member at the funeral home.
Based on common customs, he was most likely an embalmer.
Adam was shocked because he recognized the man’s face all too well.
In his previous life, he had seen this face in many movies.
