In the early morning, at a film and television shooting location in the wilderness, Job stretched himself out of the prefabricated room where he stayed in a group.
He fumbled for his toothbrush and toothpaste by the sink with blurred eyes, and then began to brush his teeth lazily.
"Hey Job, that's my toothbrush you got."
Halfway through brushing, someone behind Job tapped his shoulder, and Job finally woke up a little.
He took the toothbrush out of his mouth, looked at it carefully, and then reluctantly returned the toothbrush to the other party.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention."
"It doesn't matter, I don't have much money anyway, but having said that, are you still comfortable with this kind of life?"
"This kind of life? What do you mean?" Job was a little confused.
"It's this kind of life of a supporting role. After all, you were quite popular once."
The person who talked to Job in the morning was also a supporting role in the crew.
Their status will be slightly higher than that of extras, but in fact they are not much better.
It's just that he didn't have the good luck that Job had. He had been struggling at the bottom.
Listening to what the other party said, Job seemed to have calmed down a long time ago.
He replied: "There's nothing I'm not used to. It's just about completing what I love. I like performing, and I'm willing to give up everything for performing."
Originally, Job could actually give up his acting career after his car accident and work as a behind-the-scenes staff member, or open a store and become a store owner.
He will definitely live a life without worries about food and clothing.
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 to repair his face.
It’s just that the scar on his face was too deep, and it was almost impossible to completely repair it under the technical conditions at the time.
Then, after spending all the money, there was no improvement, and in the end his status was not as good as before. 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 look at him strangely, and occasionally he would see some people whispering.
What's more, some people even show expressions of gloating about misfortune.
There are always those people in this world who like to watch other people's misfortunes and be happy.
At first, he really couldn't accept it, and he was depressed for a long time, but now he is really used to it. Even when others directly expose his scars so rudely, he has shown some indifference. He just regrets that he can't.
Continue to make progress in your acting career.
But speaking of it, I should actually have a little money now.
The motion capture script he went to shoot at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment more than half a year ago gave him a salary for a third-rate actor to play the lead 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 on the crew will be willing to arrange a relatively clean and independent small room for him to rest.
However, he didn't think it was necessary. There weren't many parts of the show anyway, and the work would be over in about a month, so there was no need to waste too much money for that environmental advantage.
Once, he was rich, and then he hit rock bottom and was impoverished.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After becoming rich and then encountering poverty, it will make him see many things clearly, and it will also make him cherish every penny he earns more.
The toothbrush and toothpaste he bought were cheap.
"Hey, actually I still envy you, Job. At least you had your moments of glory, but you were just not lucky enough."
The man sighed, but he didn't really feel regretful, just a little bit...satisfied.
Look at you now, aren't you, a big star, in the same circle as us? Big stars are no big deal. Famous guys are just lucky, and the typical unlucky ones are people like Job.
Job could hear the slight sarcasm in the other person's words, but he was very calm now and just said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm just not lucky enough."
"Hey, hey, hey! The show starts in ten minutes, everyone put on their clothes for today! Come and gather together quickly!"
At this moment, the assistant director's irritable voice came from outside.
The assistant director can scold these supporting actors at will. Such loud voices are natural and he doesn't think there is any problem.
At this time, Job found that his toothbrush had fallen to the ground at some point, and there were other people's toothpaste and toothbrushes piled up next to the sink. It was a complete mess.
Job hesitated for a moment, then finally picked up his toothbrush from the ground and rinsed it with the faucet, then washed briefly and immediately walked out in costume.
"This guy is still so serious. Why is he so serious? Now he is just playing a supporting role. He really thinks he is still the big star he once was."
Several people looked at Job who left the room early and were a little unhappy. They all felt that Job wanted to express himself too much.
"It should be that the airs of the big star are still there. This kind of thing must be difficult to change."
"Right……"
Today, as usual, Job followed behind the big villain and willingly acted as his thug.
His acting skills are truly incredible, they are solid basic skills that he has cultivated through constant 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 same class of supporting actors, people would only sneer at him and not behave in any other way. After all, they were just making a living, so they couldn't really go too far.
But as the main supporting actors who already have a certain status, they are obviously not happy to see the highlight moments of Job.
You have the highlight moment, but our light has been obscured.
What's going on?
As a result, a familiar scene took place on the set.
During Job's acting, someone would deliberately stumble him, and someone would accidentally knock over his lunch box during lunch. Such people would usually just give Job a simple apology, and that would be fine.
It's past.
Job also behaved very harmlessly at this time, and did not care at all about the secret mischief of these people.
Even while eating, he was still thinking about the content and effects of the next few performances, trying to be fully prepared for each performance.
When he was brilliant, he somewhat neglected these important things. At that time, he always believed that he could continue to be popular, even if his acting skills were a little worse.
But now, he must work hard to practice basic skills.
If you spill your rice, just go get another one. If someone stumbles you, just shoot it again. The director and assistant director scolded him, but he had a more indifferent attitude and was more immersed in the filming and performance itself.
superior.
And the more this happens, the more people are dissatisfied with him.
By the way, Job was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered that the game called Metal Gear Solid 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. I don't know how the game I am starring in will turn out. I hope I will not mess up such a high-investment work.
Before he took part in the show, he didn't know how much it would cost to make a game like this.
After he finished performing his content, he realized that the development cost of a game like Metal Gear Solid plus publicity costs would exceed 200 million US dollars, and to make money back, he would need sales of at least 5 million or more.
This really shocked him. He didn't know much about video games in the past. Is it true that the production cost of video games is so high?
This is more exaggerated than the average film development cost.
Then after that, he became a little worried about whether his performance could be worthy of a game developed with 200 million US dollars.
However, his worries were obviously unnecessary.
There wasn't much turmoil among his crew.
But in the outside world, there are still many places on the Internet that are going crazy over the release of Metal Gear Solid.
