Chapter 3

"Newbie Task: Find a job related to the entertainment industry within a week and become a part of it. Complete the task, and you will be rewarded with 2 achievement points and a random job opportunity related to an excellent work; fail the task, and you will lose 5 achievement points and gain 1 destruction point..."

As soon as Lee Jung-hee started the game, this message popped up on the screen. A week, this time frame was not at all generous.

Beside him, Alice pouted, "This task is very simple for you. Didn't you get scouted? With your current qualifications, you will definitely pass!"

She was right. If he went to the SDUO agency, he would easily pass.

However, having experienced the poor treatment, control over personal life, exploitation of income, and even some unspeakable things from the agencies, now that he had a chance to start over, why would he foolishly make the same choice again? He shook his head, "I'm not interested in that!"

Alice was taken aback again. This answer was still beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Lee Jung-hee smiled, with a hint of something indescribable, and then said with apparent urgency, "In that situation, even if I joined the company, there would be no immediate development. I don't want to waste my time there!"

"Oh, I see!" Alice frowned slightly, her eyes flashing.

Lee Jung-hee glanced at her seemingly unintentionally, and chuckled inwardly, thinking that this demon must be driven crazy by his "unconventional approach." He turned his head and enthusiastically returned to the game, suddenly finding it interesting.

The Demon Entertainment System was closely linked to reality, so all the situations were the same as in real life, encompassing a wide range of detailed information!

For example, a movie not only had a cast and crew list, release information, and behind-the-scenes footage, but it also included a detailed script, production process, and even detailed information on every frame of shooting, set design, prop preparation, long or short shots, wide or close-up shots, hard or soft lighting, actor performance, blocking, editing, music, and other intricate details.

This meant that as long as you weren't too stupid, you could use the resources to do what you wanted.

However, most of this content was valuable and required achievement points to view. The detailed information on every frame could cost over 100 achievement points, which was far beyond Lee Jung-hee's 16 achievement points.

Of course, having enough achievement points wasn't enough. He was also hesitant because his singing and acting skills were poor, and he didn't have enough achievement points to improve them. Therefore, even if he wanted to release a single or be a lead actor, it would be very difficult and risky.

As for other jobs, he was unfamiliar with them and was even less willing to do them.

Thus, he aimlessly browsed for half a day without any ideas. He wasn't in a hurry, but Alice couldn't help it.

This alluring woman changed into a grass-green floral short skirt. Although her figure was still fiery, she looked more girlish and playful at that moment.

She was very friendly, making herself a cup of instant coffee and drinking it almost entirely before saying with a hint of dissatisfaction, "What, are you dazzled? Do you need some guidance?"

Lee Jung-hee was just about to click on the American movies interface but couldn't open it. Hearing her words, he turned his head and smiled meaningfully, not answering her but asking instead, "Why can't I open this?"

Alice pouted cutely, "It's simple. You're in Korea now, so the system is set up for your entertainment career to start here. Not only America, but other countries are the same. If you want to develop in those places, your influence must reach there, just like in real life..."

Lee Jung-hee nodded in understanding, having no objections. Of course, he knew that saying it would be pointless.

At this moment, Alice pulled a chair and sat next to him, a faint, elegant fragrance filling the air. Turning his head, he saw her flawless, beautiful face, which made his heart flutter a little.

However, thinking of her demon number 008, he remained clear-headed and calm.

Alice wasn't there to tempt him but to helpfully switch the interface back to Korea and pointed to the works, saying, "Good works aren't just in America; this year's Korea is also great. For example, the movie 'Joint Security Area,' the TV series 'Dr. Jin,' 'Love in the Time of Broadcast,' 'Beautiful Lie,' and so on."

Then, she opened the interface for 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋) and pointed to the information, saying seriously to Lee Jung-hee, "I think you might have misunderstood me, but if you trust me, you can choose this one!

It not only has the highest ratings in Korea this year but also has unparalleled influence across Asia. If you become the male lead in this TV series, you will immediately become a top star in Asia.

And you have 16 achievement points, and becoming the male lead in this TV series only requires 15 achievement points. Not only that, but by becoming the male lead, you will complete the newbie task and receive 2 achievement points and a job in another work, which is the best thing possible..."

Indeed, it was great! Even in Asia, those who were not very familiar with Korean entertainment knew the name 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋). Lee Jung-hee, who had been in the Korean entertainment industry for over ten years, naturally knew the impact of this TV series and how Song Seung-heon became a Korean wave superstar because of it.

Therefore, Lee Jung-hee was somewhat surprised by Alice's kindness, but that was all. He didn't intend to say thank you and replied somewhat dismissively, "Oh, I see, that's not bad!"

Regardless of whether Alice was a weasel wishing a chicken well, based on his understanding of the industry, he knew that doing so was too risky.

The reason was simple. First, he didn't know if his acting skills were up to the task. Otherwise, even if he became the male lead, he would face a lot of criticism during the filming process, and even being replaced at the last minute was not impossible.

This was manageable in reality, but in the game, the increase in destruction points and other unpredictable crises would be too much for him to bear.

Similarly, even if he became an overnight sensation, the chaos and complications that would follow would certainly bring many disadvantages.

More importantly, he didn't want to sign with any agency. For an artist, not signing with an agency meant trouble whether they were popular or not.

Of course, the most important point was that he only had 16 achievement points, and this role required 15 achievement points. Even if, as Alice said, he would earn 2 achievement points by becoming the male lead, that would only give him 3 points, which was not enough to ensure his safety. He didn't know enough about the game to understand what other "deadly weapons" it might contain. If something unexpected happened and he failed the newbie task, he would lose 5 achievement points, which would be disastrous.

Considering all these factors, for the sake of his life, he had to be as low-key as possible.

Low-key, low-key, thinking about this, he was inspired. Looking at the screen, he saw the screenwriter's name for 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋) and suddenly smiled.

It was the screenwriter! In Korea, screenwriters, especially top TV drama screenwriters, could earn as much as top Korean wave superstars for a single episode. They could even easily decide the director, actors, and almost everything about a TV series.

However, they were also a very low-key group.

Of course, they weren't without pressure. If a TV series failed, the screenwriter would face as much pressure as the production company, and their future would be more difficult.

But for the current Lee Jung-hee, this wasn't a problem because he was a reborn person. Although he didn't remember the detailed scripts of every TV series, he roughly remembered the names of some popular ones.

As for the detailed scripts, the Demon Entertainment System had them in great detail.

Thus, under Alice's surprised and wide-eyed gaze, Lee Jung-hee firmly and suddenly pressed the button to become the screenwriter of 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋).

"Screenwriter?" Alice finally exclaimed.

Lee Jung-hee grinned, looking at the seemingly flustered Alice, feeling even more pleased. However, he casually replied, "Yes, the screenwriter. It's much cheaper than the male lead!"

At this moment, a message box popped up on the screen: "You have chosen the screenwriter position for 'Blue生死恋' (Blue生死恋). It will consume 10 personal achievement points..." He hesitated for a moment and then clicked the "Confirm" button without hesitation.
