Lord of Entertainment C102 Titan Pictures Massive Flop

(3rd Person POV)

"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" enjoyed a successful first week at the Horn Kingdom box office, then quickly spread to Morningstar Kingdom, Choson Dynasty, and Japon Empire.

Curiosity drove many to the theaters, intrigued by the film's success in Horn Kingdom and its infamous demon ex-prince creator. While audiences expected a decent film, they doubted they'd truly enjoy a "western style" movie that didn't align with their tastes.

To their surprise, the ...

Tycoon Actor C373 The Joker

The internet was ablaze with heated debates as fans eagerly anticipated both the upcoming "Joker" film and "Avengers: Age of Ultron". Nowhere was this more evident than on Reddit, where Marvel and DC enthusiasts clashed in epic verbal battles.

On r/comicbookmovies, a thread titled "Joker vs Age of Ultron: Which will reign supreme?" quickly became a hotbed of controversy.

Lord of Entertainment C101 Breaking Preconception

(3rd Person POV)

At Righteous Film Studio headquarters, anxiety was mounting. Rayleigh Wang and executives like Jerry Yan grew increasingly nervous as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" struggled at the box office.

Investors demanded explanations, criticizing the decision to back Arthur's third film: "We're hemorrhaging money! That exiled prince's film doesn't stand a chance against Titan Pictures!"

Many pushed to pull "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" from theaters after ju...

Lord of Entertainment C100 Happy Birthday!

(3rd Person POV)

Following the emotional scene of Tuco's beating, the film continued its tale of three men seeking confederate gold.

Despite their earlier sympathy, the audience was reminded of Tuco's true nature. His bathtub scene drove this home, with the ugly dwarf brazenly cleaning his teeth with bubbles.

Tension mounted as a confident man aimed a gun at the seemingly vulnerable Tuco. The audience jolted in surprise when Tuco suddenly fired, his hidden gun concealed b...

Godfather System C158 All grown up

At the Lupo training grounds on Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, Apollonia, Deborah, and Mica were intensely focused on their training. Over time, they had earned the moniker "Three Tigresses," not just for their beauty, but for their formidable strength and power.

They had sparred with female veterans, easily outmatching them. Even male veterans fell short, with the seemingly innocent Apollonia knocking out seasoned boxers. Now, Deborah had just floored a professional boxer with a...

Lord of Entertainment C99 Wild West Premier

(3rd Person POV)

Across Horn Kingdom's public spaces - bus stops, train stations, lobby cards - film posters for "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" and "The Desired Crown" vied for attention, their simultaneous release date fueling a promotional battle that caught the public eye.

A demon, spotting a fallen poster, picked it up. It depicted three figures: a demon, a dwarf, and an elf. Below read the title: "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly".

"Western style, huh?" The demon sne...

Tycoon Actor C372 Rivalry

As "The Elephant Man" approached its final performances in Booth Theatre, New York, Lucas remained fully committed to his role as Merrick. The play was set to conclude on February 21, 2015, after a successful run.

Meanwhile, clips of Lucas's performance continued to circulate online, sparking ongoing discussions:

"I still can't understand how Lucas is able to contort his body like that. It's beyond me."

Another replied: "Right? I've watched that clip like 50 times and I s...

Lord of Entertainment C98 Announcement

(3rd Person POV)

Two days after exploring the city, on May 11, 1272, Arthur finally completed editing "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly." He promptly invited the Righteous Film Studio executives for a viewing.

Rayleigh Wang, the 45-year-old Monkey Demon CEO of Righteous Film Studio, greeted Arthur with unexpected warmth. "Delighted to meet the mastermind behind Demonfather, Arthur Morningstar!" He enveloped Arthur in a bear hug as if they were old friends.

"Uh... Likewise,"...

Lord of Entertainment C97 Horn City

(Arthur POV)

It looks like my crew is adapting to our new headquarters in Horn City. They're already making themselves comfortable, relaxing in the studio's hot tub as if they've been here for years.

I didn't stop at just acquiring the studio. I also purchased a three-story dorm building nearby for my crew to live in. It's more than spacious enough for everyone. For the actors who came along, I bought the top few floors of an apartment complex. I'll be living in the penthouse at...

Lord of Entertainment C96 Horn Kingdom welcomes the Hellfire

(Arthur POV)

In the studio meeting room, I could see the worry etched on my employees' faces. Moving kingdoms wasn't sitting well with them.

Klein, one of my key crew members, spoke up first. "Boss, do we really need to move? Aren't we doing fine here?"

Others chimed in, their concerns tumbling out:

"We're thriving here, aren't we?"

"What about the VFX Studio? We just leaving it behind?"

"I've got family here, boss."

I let them air it all out b...

Tycoon Actor C371 The Play

The song "Kiss Me" continued to gain traction, reaching about 200,000 streams in just two days. The artist "Lucid" was becoming a topic of discussion on the internet, especially after a few more unpolished songs were released. These tracks, while not as popular as "Kiss Me," still managed to attract tens of thousands of listeners within days.

On Reddit, a music-related thread about "Lucid" was buzzing with activity:

OP: "Heard of this artist Lucid? His song Kiss Me became my fav...

Lord of Entertainment C95 Breaking News

(Arthur POV)

I've been milking my past life knowledge dry, trying to optimize these damn taxes. "Lord of the Rings" hit it big, and suddenly everyone wants a piece of the pie. But I know when it's time to pack up and move on.

This whole relocation plan kicked off when Lucy slapped that film tax on the kingdom. Turns out, moving a company's a real pain in the ass. Been at it for months, and the paperwork's endless.

Even roped in Anubis, that mob boss, to grease some wheels...

Lord of Entertainment C94 Talents

(Arthur POV)

My next move? Starting my own record label. And no, this isn't some spur-of-the-moment idea.

For weeks now, I've been plotting this. It all started when I caught wind of some big-name music stars using their clout to turn fans against my films. Well, two can play at that game.

The plan? Build my own stable of stars, ones who'll encourage their fans to support Hellfire Studio. These major studios might be industry behemoths, but I've got an ace up my sleeve - ...

Lord of Entertainment C93 Stark Quill

(3rd Person POV)

At Hellfire Stories headquarters, Mark Stark waited patiently in the office, the demon CEO beside him.

"Boss Arthur will be here any minute now," the CEO assured.

Mark nodded. "Yeah, I heard he just wrapped up a film?"

"That's right. It's why I contacted you immediately. The boss finally has time to meet."

As they chatted, the office door swung open, revealing the man himself: Arthur Morningstar.

"Boss, you're here," the demon CEO sai...

Over the next few days, Lucas found himself adjusting to life in his new house. The spaciousness and the swimming pool were still novelties, but he was gradually getting used to them. His security team and driver seemed to be settling in nicely as well.

However, the publicity surrounding his new address brought its own set of challenges. Suspicious individuals began loitering outside the property, much to Lucas's frustration.

"Another group of weirdos out there," Jack reported o...

Lord of Entertainment C92 Wild West Epic Film Wrapped Up

(3rd Person POV)

In a twist that left everyone astounded, Arthur didn't just punish the ghosts - he hired them. The specters, desperate to avoid another spanking, reluctantly agreed to help with production.

To everyone's surprise, these ethereal beings proved invaluable. They handled seemingly impossible tasks with ease, perfecting lighting and achieving camera angles that would've been unthinkable without their spectral assistance.

The quality of filming improved dramati...

Lord of Entertainment C91 The filming starts again, but... Arthur needs to punish some ghosts

(Arthur POV)

At last, after what felt like an eternity of searching, I've assembled the main cast for my movie.

Take Benny Cave, the dwarf actor playing Tuco. He's sixty, but you'd never guess it. Dwarves are known for their "old looks," and at sixty, Benny could pass for a teenager. The only giveaway is his intimidating demeanor, a far cry from the naivety of younger dwarves.

Benny's perfect for "the ugly," and not just because of his looks. He spent fifteen years in the...

Lord of Entertainment C90 Blondie

(Arthur POV)

It's been two days since I started auditions, but I'm still searching for actors to play Blondie, Angel Eyes, and Tuco.

I'm aiming to cast a half-demon, half-human as Blondie to make the story more believable. While I bought "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" from the System's Entertainment Shop, I've been adapting the script to fit this world's history.

There's actual record of demons working as bounty hunters in Empirica's past, though most were half-human, h...

At Lucas's apartment, Jennifer noticed their dance video had become a trend. She commented to Lucas, "Now the song 'Shallow' is even more popular than before..." Her eyes scanned the screen, seeing other celebrities using the song on Vine.

Lucas caught a hint of something in her tone. "What? You got an issue with the song again?"

She sighed, "It just doesn't sit right with me when the song of my boy isn't for me." The hint in her voice was clear ...

Lord of Entertainment C89 Lucy's blunder

(Lance Ashford POV)

The higher-ups had sent me, a champion of the Solarus faith, to this lowly demon auction. My task: determine if the ring on offer was the one our church sought.

Cardinal Virtue's words still rang in my ears: "Verify if it's the Ancient Ring we're after. If not, track down the seller. Even if it's not our ring, its origin might lead us to the real thing. Interrogate the seller, then... offer him to the Lord."

Those orders weighed on me as I watched the ...

Lord of Entertainment C88 One-Eyed Auction

(Arthur POV)

The so-called "magical ring," supposedly identical to those in my "Lord of the Rings" film, was set to be auctioned at the "One-Eyed Auction".

Though I seriously doubted it matched the rings from "Lord of the Rings," I still felt it was worth checking out. After all, it might indeed be a magical ring, even if it couldn't compare to the ones in "Lord of the Rings".

The auction was slated to begin in two days. Firfel seemed to have gotten wind of it too, as she...

Lord of Entertainment C87 The Coveted Rings and Conspiracy

(3rd Person POV)

Weeks had passed since die-hard "Lord of the Rings" fans began scouring every nook and cranny of the Morningstar Kingdom, desperate to unearth powerful magical rings like those in the film.

But this wasn't just a local phenomenon. The "Lord of the Rings Craze," as media outlets had dubbed it, had spread like wildfire across the globe. From the Moonlight Kingdom to Wales, from Deutschland to the Leaf Kingdom in the Evros Continent, it had taken root. Even countri...

Tycoon Actor C368 Rise of Vine

Jennifer looked at Lucas with a mix of concern and admiration. "I've never had stalkers before - and I certainly don't want any," she said.

Lucas chuckled, "Aye, I doubt you'll avoid it forever. Maybe you'll get one in the future."

She nudged him playfully, "Are you wishing stalkers on me now?"

He shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I shouldn't be the only one suffering, right?"

"You're so bad!" Jennifer exclaimed, laughing.

Lucas grinned wolfishly, "...

Godfather System C157 Alexandro's first heist

Michael and Alexandro stood before the imposing gates of a Bel Air mansion, its manicured lawns and gleaming windows a testament to the wealth within. Though impressive, Alexandro couldn't help but mentally compare it to his family's estate.

"This is our target, Michael?" Alexandro asked, eyeing the property critically.

Michael nodded, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Yeah, the owner's loaded. What do you think? Fancy, right? We're bound to score something good here."

Lord of Entertainment C86 Decent prototype

(Arthur POV)

In the "research room," my team and I huddled around our first completed prototype. The keyboard looked rough, a product of our simple manufacturing process, but it was functional. That's what mattered.

As for the monitor, we had a stroke of luck. Television had been invented in Empirica two years ago. It wasn't exactly popular yet, with only a handful of TV programs available, but it meant we didn't have to reinvent the wheel when it came to computer displays. The ...

Lord of Entertainment C85 Incredible skills

(Arthur POV)

A few days have passed since the "Hellfire Theme Park" opened its gates, and the profits are rolling in faster than I can count. Tens of thousands of dollars, just like that. The park's popularity in the Morningstar Kingdom has skyrocketed beyond my wildest dreams.

Tourists are flocking to Grass City, drawn by the allure of our Middle-earth attractions. The elves, in particular, can't get enough of our mini-Rivendell. Word's even reached their media outlets, with he...

Lord of Entertainment C84 Successful Opening... or was it?

(Arthur POV)

I watched in awe as humans, dwarves, and demons swarmed into the Hellfire Theme Park. There must've been hundreds of them, but the place was big enough to swallow them all up.

I could've made a fortune off these folks, at least a few thousand bucks. But I decided to let 'em in for free. The newspaper ads were good and all, but I knew word-of-mouth was where the real magic happened.

If these people had a blast at the Hellfire Theme Park, they'd tell everyone t...
