Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Outside?

Job was taken aback.

How come my reputation outside is not good?

He still didn't understand what was going on.

"You seem to have been involved in the development of a video game, right? And played the main character in it?"

Job suddenly realized and immediately said, "That's right, there really is such a thing. It seems that this game has been released recently."

"That's right, it's this game. You're quite popular right now, and a lot of people are paying attention to you. So after thinking about it, and considering your pretty good acting skills, I've decided to give you a relatively important role in the later part of the story."

Job was genuinely pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, there was another pleasant surprise.

Previously, filming games for Youxing Electronic Entertainment was just a job, and it was a very rare opportunity to be the lead actor.

But he didn't really have high hopes.

However, he probably underestimated the influence of video games.

The influence of this cultural industry is on par with that of movies and TV series.

As a leader in the video game industry, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games are roughly equivalent to the films produced by the top figures in the film industry.

However, Job wasn't very familiar with this either, since he had only been a mediocre gamer before and didn't care about the dynamics of the gaming industry.

Job didn't have much opportunity to go online here because the signal was always bad. So, in order to calm down and focus on studying the character and filming, Job didn't contact the outside world or investigate anything related to the outside world during this time.

The director's sudden comment that Youxing Electronic Entertainment's games were very successful surprised him.

"Director, may I ask how successful the game I helped produce is?"

"Hehe, it seems you really don't know anything about this. Right now, the whole internet is talking about you and your work called Metal Gear. Our production company called me specifically after they found out about this because they know you're in our crew. So they hope to take advantage of this opportunity to benefit from you. Of course, you yourself will also receive a very generous reward. I'm telling you today that you will have a very important role in the upcoming filming."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Director."

Job was very excited, but having experienced many ups and downs, he was able to appear calm and collected.

The director nodded in appreciation. This Job is indeed a very promising person. Why didn't we discover him before?

Oh right, it's because of the scars on the other person's face; there's really no way to fix those.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, someone with Job's appearance is unlikely to have much success in the entertainment industry.

But now, hasn't an unexpected situation arisen?

That was the emergence of Yusei Electronic Entertainment, and the game they had just finished making.

It's truly amazing how the gaming industry, which was once not considered promising, has developed to its current state.

If we're talking about which company, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, deserves the most credit for its success.

"Alright, we'll make some adjustments to your role today, adding you to the important supporting cast of the villains. And if the timing is right, we also plan to make you an undercover agent behind the protagonists. We'll also give you a relatively reasonable explanation and identity."

Has he... cleared his name?

As expected, the director's words were more effective than anything else.

Previously, he was just an insignificant henchman of the villain in the story.

The treatment is completely different now.

This made him even more curious about what the Metal Gear game had become.

Just how popular must it be for a director to personally come and rewrite the script for it?

Of course, the main storyline will not be changed much, but Job's role will be increased, which can be considered a way to capitalize on the hype.

But this is beneficial to both sides. The production of this movie is not too bad. As long as one's image is good enough, one's fame can still increase again.

Chapter 641 became famous

641

"Hey you, we need to make some minor adjustments to the details of your shoot today."

On the day of filming, the assistant director arrogantly beckoned one of the more important villainous supporting actors over.

The villainous supporting character immediately trotted over, his expression extremely obsequious.

"Assistant director, are you giving me more screen time?"

He seemed somewhat happy.

"Increase your screen time? No, it's just that you'll have to swap some of your scenes with Job's."

"Forehead?"

The man paused, then repeated somewhat uncertainly, "Jobs? Are you sure?"

"How can I not be sure? This is what I arranged. Do you have any questions?"

"...No, no, no, there is no doubt."

The assistant director tossed a newly prepared script to the other person and said, "This is your new script. Memorize it well."

"Assistant director, why did Job switch places with me? It's clearly..."

"Because Jobs is a good actor, the director and I unanimously decided to increase his screen time as a reward for his hard work. I think you should all learn from Jobs."

The man's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

He was one of the people who plotted to frame Job yesterday.

They had long recognized that Jobs did indeed have some potential.

If left unchecked, their own positions will be in jeopardy.

Where there are people, there will inevitably be competition; this is a very simple theorem.

However, including him, no one expected that Jobs would be reassigned so quickly.

Under normal circumstances, Job should only have gained the director's favor in this show, and then had more screen time in later episodes.

But now I've been reassigned, isn't that a bit too fast?

Of course, these things are no longer important now.

Now there's a problem: his performance position was switched with Jobs', doesn't that mean his status has suddenly been lowered?

And didn't those locations they had planned to frame Jobs become the places where they themselves were set up?

He quickly flipped through his new script to see how much his scenes overlapped with his previous Job.

Then his expression became even uglier.

They almost completely overlap.

It can be said that he completely repeated everything that Jobs had done in the performance.

Jobs, on the other hand, simply copied his lines and scenes, resulting in a straightforward and brutal reversal of their roles.

Neither Job nor the person himself really affected the transition of the filming plot, so it didn't matter who played the role, and it would be easier to simply replace him.

But now this supposedly convenient approach has backfired, creating a huge problem for this person.

He wished he could go to those filming locations right now and repair all the damaged props.

However, it's too late now.

Moreover, it was broad daylight; there was no way he would do such a thing in front of so many people.

So... what should we do?

"Hey, the assistant director just said that your lines and plot have been swapped with Jobs'? What's going on?"

Several people who had conspired with him yesterday soon arrived, and they were all clearly quite surprised by what had happened.

This person was seething with anger: "Who knows what kind of crazy situation this is? This guy was appreciated by the director so quickly, this is completely abnormal."

"This is definitely not normal. This guy has risen too quickly. He should have been able to get noticed in the next episode."

These people all looked indignant.

The man suddenly said, "Oh, right, what about those plans we prepared yesterday to frame Job..."

Everyone fell silent for two seconds after hearing this, and then looked at the person at the same time.

The man immediately sensed something was wrong: "You guys aren't going to just make me take the blame, are you?"

"Ahem, of course not, but it might be unavoidable if it really happens..."

"You bunch of bastards, we did this together, and now you're just going to abandon me to my fate?"

The man was getting a little anxious.

The props used in the filming were quite important, and if they were damaged by someone, the filming could be delayed.

For a director, the shooting schedule needs to be carefully planned every day. An unexpected event in one day is enough to give him a headache. If it happens multiple times in a row, causing the shooting to be delayed by ten days or half a month, the director would probably twist the head off the person who caused the delay.

Moreover, at the time of the destruction, no repair was considered at all; the intention was simply to cause Job's standing in the eyes of the directors and others to plummet.

Now, unexpectedly, their attempt to frame Jobs backfired, and one of the people who tried to harm Jobs ended up experiencing everything Jobs would go through.

"Well, don't worry, this is just a show. We've discussed it before and are willing to give you some money as compensation privately, what do you think..."

"You can't do this! If you do, I will definitely expose you all!"

"Hey, hey, that's going a bit too far. We're not saying we're ignoring you, it's just a scene. You can film in other productions in the future, it won't have a big impact. But if you cause too much trouble, don't blame us for being impolite. You don't think you can fight against all of us by yourself, do you?"

These individuals conspired to frame Job, but at this moment, rifts and divisions arose among them.

This was truly an unexpected situation.

This person is extremely angry.

I never imagined I would become a pawn.

Those bastards!

Hehe, fine, if you're planning to just give up on me like this, then don't blame me.

Taking advantage of the fact that he still had some influence with the assistant director—after all, he had treated him to a lavish meal before—he figured the assistant director wouldn't refuse if he made a few minor revisions to the script.
