Chapter 217. Cujoh Jolyne Wants to Go to Prison

  ---

  "But even if you say that, Jolyne, I don't think there's anything I really help you with," Giorno said gently. "pared to me, Jotaro-san should be more helpful to yht?"

  Teically, when it es to geions, Giorno is indeed older than Kujo Jotaro. Even old Joseph, upoing Giorno, had to call him 'uncle.'

  It's like saying, "I call you brother, but you call me father; we each call each other what we want."

  The bizarre geional retionships in the Joestar family are as tangled as the family's mysterious womanizing abilities. It's like a knot that 't be untied, filled with a uaste of bittersweetness in the heart.

  So, Giorno's words also carried another meaning. He was ily telling Jolyhat if she asked him for help with the iion of using his nominal status as her great-grandfather to mend the broken father-daughter retionship, it robably not going to work. Even if she kept calling him "Gang-STAR," it wouldn't help.

  Giorno, who had long uood the stiff retionship between Jotaro and Jolyne, wasn't ined to add fuel to the fire. He wahem to recile instead. So, already prepared for this, Giently dismissed Jolyne's idea with a well-thought-out response:

  "As far as I know, Jotaro-san and the others have been w even harder after hearing that the BD sales of "Stardust Crusaders" weren't very good."

  "They've been pushing themselves strictly, and that's why "Stardust Crusaders" eventually had such great storylines, and why the BD sales have been steadily increasing."

  Even though Giorno was plimenting Jotaro, what he said was still true. Jolyne, who had been watg the deing BD sales of "Stardust Crusaders" from the start, had gone from furrowing her brows in frustration to the point of giving up on the whole project. She had the most authority to speak oter.

  She had previously been fused as to why the BD sales of "Stardust Crusaders" were increasing and why its ret viewership numbers were higher than before. Now it was clear: the culprit was her than her father, Kujo Jotaro!

  Jolyne was furious now, but she couldn't show it. After all, Giorno's fttery had hit the wrong note, but because of her system's restris, she couldn't reveal its existence or let others know that she, Jolyne, was destio lose money.

  Instead, she had to put on an act, pretending to be delighted by this "good news." Ugh~~ Jolyne made a mental note of this grudge!

  Feeling an eveer urgency to recile with her father, Jolyne, notig that she was about to lose trol of her facial expression, quickly ged the topic, saying, "Gang-STAR, that's exactly what I wao talk about!"

  "Of course, I know my father and the others have been w hard."

  Yeah, they've been w so hard that I want to beat my past self freeing to a this show!

  Though her heart was filled with ivity, Joly a ral expression and said, "Reliable actors create reliable works. But where I find reliable actors?"

  Exactly, it's tough to find an actor with bad ag skills because you ever predict when someone who used to be a terrible actor will suddenly break through, beier than an Oscar-winning star!

  Having suffered from this once, Jolyne no lorusted the industry's so-called "bad actors." In her view, their bad ag was only temporary. As long as they remembered their basic training as actors, it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly improved.

  So, if she had to choose, she'd rather go for plete rookies—those without any foundation or basic training at all!

  But that was also difficult! Jolyne just couldn't uand how, when "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" had such exaggerated requirements for its actors—each protagonist being a one-in-a-millihteous person—she always mao find the rare exception!

  She didn't get it. While she still didn't uand why this happehat didn't stop her fr to think about it from anle. If it's so easy for someoo py a good person, then what about having a bad person py a good person and perform it vividly?

  For example, you imagine DIO pying a good guy? Nht? Exactly!

  Besides, finding bad people was on a whole different level of difficulty than finding good people. The tter didn't have any uandard. Even historical figures like Liu Bei, who's been written into the history books as an ideal benevolent ruler, is now seen as a hypocrite by some modern readers.

  But finding bad people was different. You could easily go to a prison, and you'd find plenty of traditionally bad guys. If it weren't so sdalous to cast people from prisons, Jolyne might've run to one by now instead of eyeing Giorno's resources.

  That's right, the mafia and ray-area professioraditionally viewed as vilins. Asking them to py good guys? That would be bound to fail!

  The thought crossed her mind, but the recruitment for "Diamond Is Unbreakable" was already finished, and she had personally selected the cast, so it robably too te to ge her mind now, which was a bit of a pity.

  But there was still Part 5! Including "Diamond Is Unbreakable", which she had essentially overseen herself... things were finally looking up!

  With this realization, Jolyne's eyes gleamed as she grabbed Giorno's hand and pleaded, "Only you help me with this, Gang-STAR!"

  This wasn't just her great-grandfather she was ging to—it was money! Giorno, finally pieg together Jolyne's iions from their versation, was dumbfounded. Pointing at himself, he asked, "The reliable person you're talking about... is me?!"

  "Mm-hmm!"
