===639 Squeezed Out===(NONE EDITED)

  Early in the morning, in a film and television shooting location in the wilderness, Jobe stretched out from the prefab house of the collective accommodation.

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

  "Hey Jobe, you're holding my toothbrush."

  ​​Halfway through the brush, someone behind Jobe patted him on the shoulder, and Jobe was a little more awake.

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

  "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

  "It doesn't matter, I don't have a lot of money anyway, but then again, are you still comfortable with this kind of life?"

  "This kind of life? What do you mean?" Job was a little puzzled.

  "It's the life of this kind of supporting role. After all, you used to be quite popular."

  The person who talked to Jobe in the morning was also a supporting role in the crew.

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

  It's just that he didn't have the good luck Job had had, and he has been struggling at the bottom.

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

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

  Originally, Jobe could actually give up his acting career after a car accident and be a behind-the-scenes actor. Staff, or go to open a shop, be a shop owner or something.

  His life will definitely live without worries.

  But he still chose to continue to be an actor, perhaps because his fame made him reluctant to give up easily, so he chose to spend his money and repair his face.

  It's just that the scar on his face is too deep, and it is almost impossible to completely repair it under the technical conditions at that time.

  Then, after spending the money, he did not improve, and 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, whether he was at work or when he was resting, there would be people watching him with strange eyes, and occasionally he would see some people whispering.

  What's more, some people will show a schadenfreude expression.

  There are always people in this world who like to watch others unlucky and happy.

  At first, he was really unacceptable, and his will was depressed for a long time, but now he is really used to it. Even when others expose his scars directly, he has already shown that it doesn't matter, he just regrets that he can't Continue to progress in acting career.

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

  The motion capture script filmed at Youxing Electronic Entertainment more than half a year ago gave a third-rate actor a paycheck to play the leading role. For him now, it is really a blessing in disguise.

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

  It's just that he doesn't think it's necessary. Anyway, there aren't many clips in this play. After participating in it for about a month, he can end his work. There's no need to waste too much money for that little environmental advantage.

  Once, he was rich, and then he fell into poverty again.

  From thrift to luxury is easy, from luxury to thrift is difficult, and then encountering poverty after being rich will make him see many things clearly, and it will also make him cherish every penny of money he earns.

  The toothbrush and toothpaste he bought were cheap.

  "Hey, in fact, I still envy you Job, you at least once had a brilliant time, but you just weren't lucky enough."

  The man sighed, but he didn't really feel regret, but there was so little Point... proud.

  Look at you now, aren't you, a big star, in a circle with us now? The big stars are no big deal, the famous guys are just lucky, and the typical example of the unlucky is Jobe.

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

  "Hey hey hey! The show starts in ten minutes, all Everyone put on their costumes for today! Gather for me quickly!"

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

  For these supporting roles, the assistant director can scold them casually. It is a matter of course that such a loud voice is a matter of course, and he does not think there is any problem.

  At this time, Job found that his toothbrush had fallen 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, then finally picked up his toothbrush on the ground and ran it at the faucet, then simply washed and walked out in his costume.

  "This guy is still so serious. Why is he so serious? Now he's only playing a small supporting role. He really thinks he is still the big star he once was."

  Several people looked at Qiao who walked out of the room ahead of time. Bu, they were a little unhappy, they all felt that Jobe wanted to express himself a little too much.

  "It should be that the former superstar is still there. This kind of thing must be difficult to change."

  "That's right..."

  Jobe willingly followed behind the big villain's ass today as a thug in front of his younger brother.

  It is true that his acting skills are solid basic skills developed 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 who is also a supporting role, people will only sneer at him, and will not have other behaviors. After all, they are all sloppy food, and it is impossible to really overdo it.

  But as the main supporting characters who already have a certain status, they obviously will not be happy to see the highlight moments shown by the mere Steve Jobs.

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

  What's going on here?

  So, a familiar scene was staged in the crew.

  During the course of his acting, Job will be deliberately stumbled by someone, and someone will accidentally knock over his lunch box during lunch, and such people usually only apologize to Jobe simply. past.

  Job also acted very harmless at this time, and didn't care about the secret evil of these people.

  Even when he was eating, he was still thinking about the content and effects of the next few performances, and strived 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 poor.

  But now, he must practice the basic skills hard.

  If the meal is overturned, I will make another copy. If someone stumbles me, I will re-shoot it myself. He is also indifferent to the rebuke of the director and assistant director, and he is more immersed in the shooting and performance itself. superior.

  And the more so, the more people are dissatisfied with him.

  By the way, Job thought for a while, and suddenly it seemed that the game called Metal Gear was released in the past few days, right?

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

  It was not known how much such a game would cost to make before he took part.

  After he finished performing his own content, he realized that the development cost of a game like Metal Gear plus the publicity cost would exceed 200 million US dollars, and it would take at least 5 million sales to make a return.

  This really surprised him. In the past, he didn't know much about video games. Was it that the production cost of video games was so high?

  This is more exaggerated than the average film development cost.

  And then after that he was a little worried about whether his performance was worthy of a $200 million game.

  However, his concern is obviously superfluous.

  There wasn't much of a storm in his crew.

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