Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

In the early morning, at a certain filming location in the wilderness, Job stretched out from the prefabricated house where the group lived.

With dazed eyes, he fumbled for his toothbrush and toothpaste by the sink, and then began to brush his teeth lazily.

"Hey Job, that's my toothbrush you got."

Halfway through brushing, someone behind Job patted him on the shoulder, and Job woke up a little bit.

He took the toothbrush out of his mouth, took a closer look, and then returned the toothbrush to the other party helplessly.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

"It's okay, I don't have much money anyway, but then again, are you still comfortable with this kind of life?"

"This kind of life? What do you mean?" Job didn't understand.

"It's this kind of supporting role life, after all, you were quite popular in the past."

The person who accosts Job in the morning is also a supporting cast member.

They will have a slightly higher status than the group performers, but in fact they are not much better.

It's just that he doesn't have the good luck that Job once had. He has been struggling at the bottom all the time.

Listening to the other party's words, Job seemed to have calmed down a long time ago.

He replied: "There's nothing I'm used to or not. It's just doing what I love. I like acting, and I'm willing to give up everything for acting."

Originally, Jobe could actually give up his acting career after his car accident and work as a behind-the-scenes worker, or open a store and become a store owner.

He will definitely live a comfortable life.

But he still chose to continue to be an actor, perhaps because his fame made him unwilling to give up easily, so he chose to spend all his wealth and restore his face.

It's just that the scars on my face were too deep, and it was almost impossible to completely repair them under the technical conditions at the time.

Then, after spending the money, he didn't improve at all, and in the end, his status was not as good as before. Up to now, he can only stay in the collective activity dormitory of the crew with a group of supporting actors, waiting to be dispatched at any time.

In fact, no matter when he was working or resting, people would watch him with strange eyes, and occasionally he would see some people whispering.

What's more, some people will show gloating expressions.

There are always those guys who like to see others being unlucky and happy in this world.

At first, he really couldn't accept it, and his will has been depressed for a long time, but now he is really used to it, even if others directly expose his scars so impolitely, he has already shown a little indifference, he just regrets that he can't Continue to progress in your acting career.

But speaking of it, in fact, I should have a little money now.

More than half a year ago, he went to Youxing Electronic Entertainment to shoot the motion capture script and paid a third-rate actor to play the leading role. For him now, it is really a timely help.

So he doesn't have to live in this kind of collective prefabricated house now. If he spends a little more money, someone in the crew will be willing to arrange a relatively clean small room with independent space for him to rest.

It's just that he doesn't think it's necessary. Anyway, there are not many episodes in this drama, and the work can be finished after participating in it for about a month. There is no need to waste too much money for the superiority of the environment.

Once, he was rich, and then he fell to the bottom and was poor.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After being rich and then encountering poverty, it will make him see many things clearly, and it will also make him cherish every penny he earns.

The toothbrush and toothpaste he bought were cheap.

"Hey, in fact, I still envy you, Job. At least you once had a brilliant time, but you were not lucky enough."

The man sighed, but he didn't really feel sorry, but just a little... proud.

Look at you now, don't you, a big star, also get together in a circle with us now? It's no big deal to be a big star. The famous guy is just lucky, and the typical unlucky guy is Jobe.

Job could hear the slight sarcasm in the other party's words, but he was very calm now, and just smiled and said, "Yeah, it's just unlucky."

"Hey, hey, hey! The show starts in ten minutes, everyone put on today's costumes! Gather me quickly!"

At this moment, the violent voice of the assistant director came from outside.

For these supporting actors, the assistant director can reprimand at will, and this kind of loud voice is also a matter of course, he doesn't think there is any problem.

At this time, Job found that his toothbrush fell to the ground at some point, and other people's toothpaste and toothbrushes were piled up beside the sink, which was a mess.

Job hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up his toothbrush on the ground and rinsed it under the faucet. After a brief wash, he immediately walked out in his costume.

"This guy is still so serious. Why is he so serious? Now he's just playing a small supporting role. He really thinks he's still the big star he used to be."

Several people looked at Job who walked out of the room early, and they were a little unhappy. They all felt that Job wanted to express himself too much.

"It should be that the airs of a big star are still there. This kind of thing must be difficult to change."

"Right……"

Today, as usual, Job followed the big villain's butt willingly in front of the thug boy.

There is really nothing to say about his acting skills. This is a solid basic skill that has been cultivated through continuous hard work.

Sometimes his acting skills even surpass some of the more important supporting roles, allowing people to focus more on this small supporting role.

In the class that is also a supporting role, people will only sneer at him, and will not have other behaviors. After all, they are all just messing around, so it is impossible to really go too far.

But as the main supporting actors who already have a certain status, they are obviously not happy to see the bright moments shown by the mere Job.

You are the highlight moment, but our light is covered up.

What's the matter?

Thus, a familiar scene was staged in the crew.

Someone would deliberately trip Job during his acting, and someone would inadvertently knock over his lunch box during lunch, and such a person would usually just apologize to Job briefly, and this matter would be ignored. passed.

At this time, Job also behaved as if he was very harmless to humans and animals, and he didn't care about these people's secret tricks at all.

Even when eating, he is still thinking about the content and effects of the next few performances, and strives to be fully prepared for each performance.

When he was brilliant, he somewhat ignored these important things. At that time, he always thought that he could continue to be popular, even if his acting skills were not good enough.

But now, he had to practice his basic skills hard.

If the meal is overturned, just make another copy. If someone trips you up, you can just shoot it again. If you get reprimanded by the director and assistant director, he doesn't care about it. He is more immersed in the shooting and performance itself. superior.

And the more this happened, the more people were dissatisfied with him.

By the way, Job thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the game called Metal Gear was released in the past few days, right?

It's a pity that the filming base here is too far away from the city, and the communication is not particularly smooth, and I don't know how the game I starred in will turn out. I hope I won't mess up such a big investment.

Before he participated in the role, he didn't know how much such a game cost to make.

It wasn't until he finished performing his own content that he realized that the development cost of a game like Metal Gear Solid plus promotional costs would exceed 200 million US dollars, and at least 5 million sales would be needed to pay back the cost.

This really surprised him. He didn't know much about video games in the past. Was the production cost of video games so high?

This is more exaggerated than the average film development cost.

Then after that he was a little worried about whether his performance was worthy of a game that was developed for 200 million US dollars.

However, his worries are obviously unnecessary.

There wasn't much trouble in his crew.

But in the outside world, there are still many places that are crazy about the release of Metal Gear.
