As Marcia pondered, Gary's voice interru...

*Chapter 95: The People's Prince*

When Gary was flipping through "GQ," he had a positive premonition, but he wasn't sure. Photoshoots can often be misleading. Even without considering post-production editing, sometimes a photographer captures just the right moment. However, such moments might not translate to the big scree...

Screech!

The taxi's tires screeched as it came to a stop, and Anson quickly got in.

"Burbank, Disney Studios."

"Hurry, please. As fast as you can."

After saying that, Anson patted the back of the driver's seat, signaling the driver to go ahead.

## Chapter 93: Emergency Call

When Andrew O’Connell called Anson, Anson was skateboarding, with his phone tucked away in his pants pocket, completely unaware of the vibration.

In a single glance, Madeleine noticed the girl hurriedly hiding a magazine under her chair. Wasn't that fleeting cover Hugh Jackman?

Chapter 86: Sorry**

After hanging up the phone, Darren Star couldn't help but smile with interest. He hadn't expected that a magazine photoshoot would also bring a surprise from that kid, Anson. This really exceeded his expectations.

Should he perhaps do David Crane a favor and give him a little push? View Post

Chapter 85: Lingering Excitement

Busy, a kind of busyness where your feet barely touch the ground.

Some busyness is purely mechanical, like a walking corpse, mechanically completing tasks, like beginner-level quests in a video game.

But some busyness is full of life, because you know you’re creating somethin...

Pfft.

A laugh came from nearby, but it was quickly muffled by a hand covering the mouth.

Chapter 82: A Risk

In the abandoned warehouse, silence reigned.

The sounds of air currents colliding with the occasional engine roars from outside made the air inside the studio feel even more stagnant and stiff.
