Chapter 244 Preparations For The Olympics 10

Chapter 244 Preparations for the Olympics 10

[Communication Skills is the strongest skill for you in those you received with a fourth job, a skill that will make you much more sociable and will increase the efficiency of all your second and fourth job skills.]

[The higher this skill rank increases the more your communication skills increase, so you can always find the best words to use in important conversations and also the best time to speak, even the right tone of voice to use in a conversation.]

Jake could also understand how this skill would be extremely useful to him, and if used with the leadership statistic or policy would be even better depending on the situation, he could cheer up his teammates a lot and boost their morale even losing the game by dozens of points.

[Photographic Memory is a skill you should be well aware of what you can do, it will improve your memory and further accelerate the speed of thinking you have.]

[You thought you had an excellent memory before, but if this skill gets to the top rank you will be able to remember everything you see after one time, if you pick up a book and just skim through the pages you will remember of content.]

[Of course, remembering the content does not mean that you will learn everything you read, but you will be able to slowly try to understand in your memory after seeing things, not to mention that you can also choose what you want to forget about the top rank of that ability.]

Jake could also understand how useful this skill was, but for him, it was the least useful skill he had received in this fourth job, after all, Jake already thought his memory was very good and didn't need to improve further.

It would be different if he could learn all things just by looking, but it was not so, as the system said, he would only ever remember what he saw, there were things he might never learn even after memorizing everything.

[Positioning is a skill you can understand well too, so knowing how to position yourself on scenes that you have to shoot instinctively in basketball just might not seem important, but you know better than anyone what that means.]

Just as the system said this was an extremely useful skill for Jake, he could play basketball much more easily, having good positioning is considered a talent in many sports.

In addition to basketball, American football and normal football were good examples of the importance of this skill, a good center forward in football would score hundreds of goals if it had a skill like that at most.

After seeing the skills he had gained Jake was much calmer for the recordings of the other day, even though the rank of those skills was not high yet, Jake knew that just having those skills would greatly improve his acting skills and confidence as well.

The other day later they started shooting Jake's scene, Jake was in a hotel room that was the scene of the scene, just as he thought after remembering the movie, he would be in the scene where Jerry was played by Tom Cruise had just been fired after writing a 'goal plan' and sending it to his colleagues at the company.

He was fired because in his goals plan Jerry said that the company should have fewer customers and care more about them individually, so it went against the company's interests.

After being fired Jerry wants to take revenge on the company and leave the company with all the clients he has worked for several years, so in his office, Jerry calls several clients trying to convince them to continue working with him instead of the SMI company where he was fired.

On one of these calls, he calls Jake and unlike the other calls he doesn't ask Jake to work with him but says Jake doesn't have to work with anyone to succeed and money and suggests that Jake leave the company too.

So Jake says he'll take Jerry's advice and no longer have a sports agent, which is what Jake does in real life, but in Jake's case, he doesn't work with any sports agent because he thinks he doesn't need to.

After all Jake doesn't think about playing basketball just to make money but to do what he likes so he doesn't care much about having the best deals or sponsors paying him tens of millions of dollars a year.

Jake is well aware that he no longer has to earn money to live or get rich, he can count on his investments for that, of course, he will want to earn a fair wage at least, if he is the best player on the team he will not accept having lower staff salaries for example.

Jake really thought this might be the scene he was shooting, but in this scene, Tom Cruise wouldn't need to talk to him, after all, Jerry would be sitting in his office talking to his clients and not personally, just a few that he talks to himself.

After director Crowe explained to Jake that he would just have to hold a phone while pretending to be talking to Tom Cruise that he would not show up at the scene and would stand aside just talking as if he were actually talking on the phone.

This would make it easier for Director Crowe to see what it would look like after editing, so Jake understood and prepared to record the scene, he was standing near the couch in the hotel with his phone in his hands as he prepared to start playing with Tom Cruise.

After getting the fourth job Jake was no longer nervous, especially now that Tom Cruise would just talk to him and not appear on the scene, plus the director said that Jake would play him even in the movie so it could be natural.

"Hi Jake, it's Jerry speaking."

"Jerry, how are you?"

"Not well, I just got fired and I'm calling my clients to find out who will leave SMI with me."

"But you, I'm not trying to take with me, Jake, I wanted to tell you that you no longer have to work with anyone to have a lot of money and success, you can count on your talent and you can do it."

"If you're going to leave SMI then I won't work with anyone else, you know I only accepted working with an agent because it was you, Jerry."

"Hahaha so that's fine, I'll have to talk to other clients."

"Good luck to you Jerry."

"Good luck to you too, Jake, see you around."

It was just a few lines and Jake was very calm and relaxed, he looked worried when he heard that Jerry had been fired and showed gratitude when he heard Jerry's advice, it was simple and this time Director Crowe thought it was perfect, but he still asked to Jake and Tom Cruise do the same scene a few more times to have more options at the time of editing.

After the recordings were over Jake finally relaxed, he seemed calm thanks to his new skills and his confidence, but he was still tense with the pressure of responsibility while shooting the scenes, especially since director Crowe asked the scene to be remade several times.

Jake knew that only a small piece of this scene would be left in the final edition, that if the scene was put into the movie, so he was happy and went off the camcorder that had recorded all the scenes he did and with Tom Cruise appearing in the scene.

Tom Cruise was also surprised by Jake's acting ability and the calmness of his recording, it was difficult for an actor to show empathy on the scene as Jake did as if he really knew some Jerry.

Once the scenes were done he knew that the first time it was perfect, the director just remade the scene a few times to have more material for editing, he knew it as it was in the movie world a long time after the scene was over he decided to talk to Jake.

"Jake!"

Jake was a little surprised by Tom Cruise calling him, but he turned around after being called.

"I meant that I thought you did very well in the scene you did, I even thought you were an experienced actor."

"Thank you so much, this compliment from someone like you means so much to me."

"I was just telling the truth."

"Would you mind giving me and my mom an autograph, we are very fans of you."

"Sure, no problem."

Jake was very happy to be able to talk to Tom Cruise like that and still be praised, Tom Cruise was already very famous now and would be even more in the future, this year besides this movie he would be starring in the movie Mission: Impossible.

After that Jake fired the camera crew and returned home, after all he had to train and had nothing more to do with the camera crew, not to mention that the team would leave town the other day.

Before Jake left, Director Crowe still approached him for a message and an invitation.

"A few months from now when the movie is finished we're going to have a little celebration, but you should be at the Olympics when we do it, so I'll invite you to a party if the movie succeeds at the box office or is nominated for some award."

"So I'll definitely go to this party, I have a feeling that this film will be a success at the box office and also will be successful among film critics and will compete for several awards, maybe even win some."

"I hope you're right, Jake."

"I'm confident in my luck."

After saying that Jake left home, this was the first time he had been away from Eva so long in his second life, he had to admit that he missed his mother, Jake was a little sad to realize that it would be even worse when he went to university.

In a few months, he would also have to leave home long enough to stay in the Olympic village, it was like preparation of what was coming for the second half, Eva said he would watch the marathon competition on the last day, but before that he would not be doing anything.

Luckily he could watch some Olympics competitions as a right, after all, he was an American athlete in an Olympics that was in the United States, it would be absurd if he didn't have some rights.
