Job finished a long day of shooting, and it had been quite exhausting.
However, he felt very fulfilled. During the shoot, he was quite satisfied with his performance, probably scoring around seven or eight out of ten. His mood was quite good.
But not everyone was as pleased.
As a major supporting character, his shine was sowhat overshadowed by Job's acting. If this continued, the director might consider increasing Job's role in future scenes.
This was not a good sign.
He had to find a way to undermine Job and deny all his hard work, preferably fra Job for sothing to get him ousted from the production.
So, he had already arranged with a few people to deliberately sabotage things during tomorrow's shoot, and then pin the bla on Job. They hoped this tactic would get Job removed from the crew.
"Okay, that's the plan. Tomorrow, we'll break a few important props and cause a delay in the shoot, and then we'll bla everything on Job."
...
...
"Is that enough?"
"Of course not. We can't just make him leave all at once; we have to take it slow. If we go too far, it'll look suspicious."
"Alright, we'll do it your way."
The group finished their discussion and quickly went to the shooting locations where Job would be involved the next day. They secretly sabotaged the props, knowing that when Job used them during filming, they would be broken.
Once they had done their part, they quickly left the scene and returned to their rooms without anyone noticing.
The next morning, Job woke up, brushed his teeth — this ti he found his toothbrush — and after a quick wash, he put on his costu and prepared for the day's shooting.
However, at that mont, he noticed the director walking toward him with a friendly smile.
"Job, right?"
"Yes, Director. I'm Job."
Job was a bit surprised.
He was just a supporting character, so the director usually wouldn't pay much attention to him.
Even if he did notice, it would probably just be sothing like a quick comnt after a shoot.
"I've been paying attention to your recent performances. Your acting is really quite good. You have solid basic skills, but unfortunately, your face..."
Job remained calm, saying, "There's nothing I can do about it. My face is what it is, so I guess I'm stuck with being a supporting character?"
"Supporting character? No, not at all. I know you're actually quite well-known outside, right?"
Outside?
Job paused.
He didn't understand what the director ant.
"Didn't you work on a video ga recently? You played the main character?"
Job suddenly understood. He quickly said, "Yes, that's right, I was part of a video ga, and I think it just released recently."
"That's it! That ga! Your popularity is quite high right now. A lot of people are talking about you, so after thinking about it, considering your great acting skills, I've decided to give you a more important role in the upcoming scenes."
Job was genuinely surprised.
He hadn't expected this unexpected bonus.
The video ga shoot had just been a job for him, and it was a rare opportunity to play the lead role.
He hadn't expected much from it.
But now, it seed like he had underestimated the impact of video gas.
The influence of the gaming industry was on par with that of films and TV shows.
And Gastar Entertainnt, as the leader in the video ga industry, produced gas that were almost equivalent to the top films in the movie industry.
Job didn't fully understand this, as he had only been an occasional gar and hadn't followed the gaming industry much.
Job hadn't had much opportunity to go online here, since the signal was poor at the shooting base, and he preferred to focus on his role and filming rather than keep in touch with the outside world.
So, the director's comnt about the success of Gastar Entertainnt's ga was a pleasant surprise.
"Director, may I ask how successful the ga I was involved in has beco?"
"Ha, looks like you really didn't know! Right now, everyone online is talking about you and your ga tal Gear. After the producers up top found out you're with us, they called because they knew you were in our crew. They want to use this opportunity to leverage your success, and of course, you'll receive a very generous reward. I'm telling you this because I'm adding an important role for you in the upcoming scenes."
"Thank you very much, Director."
Job was very excited inside, but having been through a lot, he maintained a calm exterior.
The director nodded appreciatively. Job was indeed a talented actor. Why hadn't they discovered him earlier?
Oh right, it was because of the scar on his face. That was sothing that could never be fixed.
Without that, soone like Job would have had a much greater chance in the entertainnt industry.
But now, things had changed.
That change was Gastar Entertainnt and their recently finished ga.
It was truly remarkable to see the gaming industry, once overlooked, develop to this point.
If anyone was responsible for that, it was Gastar Entertainnt, the leader of the industry.
"Okay, we'll adjust your role today and move you into an important supporting role as one of the main villains. If the timing is right, we might even make you an undercover agent behind the protagonist. We'll also give you a reasonable backstory and identity."
Was... he getting a redemption arc?
Indeed, the director's words were more effective than anything else.
Before, he had been nothing more than a small minion in the villain's storyline.
Now, his treatnt was completely different.
This also made him more curious about how tal Gear had turned out.
How popular was it that the director was willing to rewrite the script for him?
Of course, the main plot wouldn't change much, but increasing his scenes was certainly a way to ride the wave of popularity.
This worked out for both sides. The film production was decent enough, and as long as his image was solid, he could boost his own fa once again.
