Chapter 16: Titanic, Unsinkable

Bill Mechanic was a seasoned veteran at 20th Century Fox. With his seniority, even if Titanic had flopped, it wouldn’t have shaken his position too much.

In another timeline, he might have taken a more cautious approach—cutting funding for Titanic, bringing in other studios to share the risk, lowering promotional costs, and selling distribution rights. A series of strategic moves to preemptively minimize Fox’s losses.

But this time, things w...

*Chapter 15: A Lifeline!*

The Post-Production of Titanic Went Smoothly

There were three reasons for this:

1. James Cameron and Dunn had a clear division of labor—Cameron focused on visual effects and editing, while Dunn handled voiceovers, design, and the soundtrack.

2. The visual effects company, Digital Domain, was Cameron's own company. For the past few years, its sole project had been Titanic. With everything in place and Cameron overseeing the process person...

Ding!  

Defeat Akutsu.

A system notification echoed in Ishikawa's mind.

[Player has defeated Boss-level opponent Akutsu Jin. 8 experience points gained.]

[Player has obtained a sub-profession item dropped by Akutsu Jin: Karate Lv1.]

[Detected overlap between Karate sub-profession and Ancient Martial Arts sub-profession. Special reminder: Sub-professions of the same type cannot provide simultaneous ability bonuses.]

"Huh?"...

*Chapter 78: Crushing Defeat, the Beast's Howl! (2nd Update)*

"Senior Akutsu?!"

Outside the court.

Touji, the first-year manager of Yamabuki's tennis club, looked anxious as he saw Akutsu's condition. "You're hurt! Let me get you some bandages to stop the bleeding."

"No need."

Akutsu stood up from the ground, wiping the blood off his face with his hand, revealing a thin, sliced wound.

"That last shot!!!"

Seeing this, the spectators outside the court were visibly shocked.

"Hmm."

Inui ...

*Chapter 77: A Once-in-a-Decade Tennis Prodigy (Part 1)*

A moment later.

Both players confirmed the serve and retreated to the baseline.

"The match will be decided in one set."

The referee's gaze shifted toward Akutsu's direction. "Yamabuki Akutsu to serve, first game!"

At the same time.

In Ishikawa's eyes, detailed information appeared above Akutsu's head.

*[Akutsu Jin (Boss): Lv5]*

"Just as I thought."

After seeing his opponent's level, Ishikawa nodded to himself.

When ...

"Rachel, are you free next Saturday?"

After saying goodbye to Leonard, Adam, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned back with a smile and looked at Rachel.

"Huh?"

Sitting in the back seat, Rachel met Adam’s gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. She panicked slightly and stammered, "Y-Yeah, I'm free."

"Then would you like to come with me to buy a sailboat?"

Adam invited her. ...

Inside the restaurant.

"What's wrong?"

Monica asked.

Rachel had already guessed the reason and, feeling embarrassed, covered her eyes with her hand.

"It looks like our great surgeon isn't very good at math."

Ross swayed his head smugly and mocked, "He only tipped 4%."

"So?"

Adam responded indifferently.

"So, he's being stingy."

Ross scoffed. "The standard is 15%. With so many of us, it should be 20%. At the very le...

Inside the restaurant.

"Haha."

Adam’s flattery was well received by Leonard.

"Don't think that way! Since you've chosen to be a surgeon, you should aim to be the best. Do you think I didn’t want to take shortcuts back in the day?"

Leonard took another sip of straight whiskey and said self-deprecatingly, "I wanted to, but by then, I was already married to Rachel’s mother. There was no way around it."

"Dad~!"

Rachel called out in a ha...

Chapter 770: The Mission

"Sigh... what a pity."

With a light sigh, Seimei pushed the thought aside and refocused on the tree trunk in front of him.

Looking at the Flying Thunder God seal he'd placed, he could clearly sense that unless he actively removed it, no one else would be able to erase it—at least, not without destroying the tree itself.

In other words, as long as he had enough chakra, he could teleport back here anytime, anywhere.

And this was just a tree.

But ...

Chapter 769: Completion

After checking the evolution progress of his Byakugan and Sharingan, Seimei closed the interface.

He already had a clear understanding of his progress over the past few days.

Closing his eyes for a brief moment, he adjusted his training plan slightly before proceeding.

Without wasting any time, he raised both hands and formed the "Rin" hand seal, activating the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Poof!

Over a hundred shadow clones appeared in an instant.

The promotional campaign brought about very noticeable results.

“Wait, has Hemera Films released another movie?”

“Seriously? Let me check... My goodness, it's written by Wayne Anderson again?”

“Wow, counting The Bourne Identity, that's four or five movies Hemera Films has released in the past three months with him either starring or writing!”

“It’s possible those movies were completed earlier and are just being released now.” ...

Chapter 289: The Beautiful Butterflies in the Jungle

Milo was well aware that his reputation among young, beautiful Hollywood dreamers like Jessica Alba was exceptionally positive.

It was simple: in Hollywood's glitzy world of indulgence, stories of people using others and then discarding them were all too common.

Sweet words would flow endlessly before the bed, only for icy indifference to follow afterward, with one party pretending the other didn't exist.

"Is that George?"

Staring at the motionless figure before her, Amanda asked hesitantly.

"Strictly speaking, that's the version of himself from the spirit's memory."

Standing beside her, Spike gazed intently at the black-and-white figure in the bedroom as he explained slowly.

"Spirits exist in all things, including within us. However, unlike the spirits of the dead, the living are shielded by their physical bodies."

This technique, introduced in the original story by Kabuto Yakushi, is a powerful ninjutsu.

By merging the cells of numerous shinobi—Orochimaru, Kimimaro, Sakon, Ukon, Jirōbō, Kidōmaru, and Tayuya—Kabuto utilized Sakon and Ukon’s kekkei genkai, "Twin Demons’ Assault," to perform it. This ability allowed cellular assimilat...

Chapter 768: Summary and Estimation

Ten minutes later.

Seimei let out a long breath.

He had finally managed to transfer all the chakra stored in the metallic sphere back into the unique space within his forehead.

At this point, nearly an hour had passed since he had finished his previous round of training.

However, he wasn’t planning to jump straight into the next one just yet.

Before that, he needed to summarize his progress over the past few days.

"What?!"

Staring at the towering silver-white figure exuding an undeniable aura of power, the Seven-Tails' insect-like compound eyes flickered with shock.

For a moment, it completely forgot to evade.

However, Seimei had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by.

Controlling his Susanoo, he reached out with a massive hand and effortlessly grabbed the Seven-Tails mid-flight, much like catching a tiny chick.

"Backdoor connections?"

Leonard recalled the past, his emotions stirring as he slapped the table. "Yes! That's a perfect analogy! They used backdoor connections!"

"They?"

Adam pressed for clarification.

"There were dozens of us interning together back then," Leonard reminisced. "I was widely recognized as the most skilled, yet over twenty years later, I'm still just an attending physician. Meanwhile, three people from that ...

"Ha! Cough! Ha!"

Hearing Leonard Green’s self-congratulatory remarks, Ross couldn’t hold back anymore. With his signature mumbling chuckle, he spread his hands and reminded, “I’m also a doctor.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You work at that library.”

Leonard glanced at him dismissively and responded perfunctorily.

“Hello?”

Ross was furious, raising his voice, “That’s the Prehistoric Biol...

"Hey, Chandler~"

"Are you okay, Chandler~"

Everyone gathered in the hospital room. They had already heard from Adam that Chandler was fine, and seeing that he looked in good spirits, they couldn't resist teasing him.

"Stop!"

Chandler, feeling embarrassed, wanted to bury himself under the covers. But when he saw Joey lifting the blanket to sneak a peek, he quickly pressed it down and ...

"Come on," Chitose taunted, a smirk spreading across his face. "Don’t hold back. Or are you scared, Yukimura?"

On the court, Chitose deliberately hit a high lob, unaware that he had just crossed a line by provoking Yukimura’s taboo. His grin widened as he watched the ball soar.

Swish!  

In the next moment, Yukimura moved.

He leaped into the air, raising his racket high and smashing it down with precision as the ball flew past him. <...

At the net, two players of similar height shook hands. Chitose smiled and said, "I thought it would be Akutagawa, but it’s really you."

"That guy?" Yukimura shook his head. "He’s been asleep since we entered the court. If it were him, he’d have been woken up during the first doubles match to warm up."

"True," Chitose nodded.

The two of them seemed like old friends, familiar with each other’s quirks and habits.

"Let’s get started," Yukimura said...

“What kind of serve was that?”

From the captain, Minami Kentaro, to the regular players, everyone on the Yamabuki team was stunned.

“That serve was incredibly fast,” Coach Taro murmured, his fox-like eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the court.

Then, he turned to look at Hyotei’s coach, Sakaki, who stood nearby, and said with a hint of admiration, “I didn’t expect one of your players to have such a powerful serve.”

“You flatter me,...

In January, the production team held a press conference to announce the completion of Titanic and officially revealed to the world that this incredible voyage would hit theaters on May 8!

Back in the day, Titanic was repeatedly delayed due to James Cameron, eventually being pushed to a Christmas release.

*Chapter 13: The End of Filming*

Dunn felt incredibly awkward. This was a question he really couldn’t explain too much.

Kate, on the other hand, was deeply moved. She fought back the tears threatening to spill over, using her top-tier acting skills to force a bright smile.

But as she kept smiling, she realized Dunn had fallen into silence.

So, she stopped smiling too. She glanced at him, bit her lip, and, gathering all her courage, asked, “Dunn, do you have a girlfriend?”

“No.�...

Jenny was Kate’s personal assistant. Her face was filled with anxiety and urgency.

"Kate, you can't keep doing this! Your fever is really high!"

"Enough, Jenny! I've already taken medicine!" Kate had just finished an NG take and was resting. Her tone toward Jenny was impatient.

Jenny stood her ground. "But your condition is serious! You need to rest!"

The 61st Golden Globe nominations have been announced.

"Elephant" was completely ignored, earning zero nominations and missing the chance to replicate the achievements of Pulp Fiction after its Palme d'Or win a decade ago.

Even "The Butterfly Effect" fell short of expectations, securing only a single nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

So, what does this mean?
