Chapter 218. The Deli's Pn to Overthrow and Brawl with the Gang Boss
---
While nodding tinuously, Cujoh Jolyne added, "Actually, it's not just about you, Gang-STAR. If possible, Gang-STAR, you could call over the other people in yanization too—it would be totally fine!"
"In fact, that would be eveer!"
At this point, Jolyne could almost picture the se unfolding in her mind. She was eager to have Pucci shoot a story like this as soon as possible.
After all, if the roles of the mafia were simply ied into the story of "Stardust Crusaders", then what about "golden spirit"? What about friendship, effort, and victory? She felt that all those values could just go to hell!
If a group of mobsters were involved, the story would only bee one about gangs fighting in Cairo, losing aional impact from ses like Polnareff's passionate revenge on J. Geil or the sacrifices made by Avdol and Iggy for their rades. All these plot points that resonated with the audience would disappear!
Jolyne could even imagihat since gangsters never act without a profit motive, there would be no way to expect them to brawl with Cairo's local thugs just to save someone.
Jotaro's reason foing to Egypt could very well turn into a plot where a deli pns to rise through the ranks by beating up the gang boss!
Of course, if they were filming a mafia-themed work, then this plot aup would be perfectly fine.
But they were shooting "JoJo"—"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"!
What are the main characters of "JoJo" supposed to be like?
The first JoJo, Jonathan, the sed JoJo, Joseph, and the third JoJo, Jotaro... their as have already shown all the viewers of the series!
As a JoJo, they beat up cops, they beat up teachers, aing someone so badly that they end up in the hospital isn't even an issue.
As for dining and dashing oing to jail? That's child's py.
But no matter what fws they may have, a JoJo must possess that "golden spirit"! The gentlemanly spirit passed down through the Joestar family, the noble resolve to stand up for others in need, even if they are plete strangers!
How could gangsters, who have nothing to proted live empty lives, possibly portray "JoJo" well?
If not for the fear that Josuke and the others might not be able to py ving gangsters, the more Jolyhought about it, the more she believed she was a genius. She even wanted Pucci tet about Part 5 ae "Diamond is Unbreakable" as a mafia stht now!
Back when she hurriedly hired the test "Croug Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of the gang, Josuke and his friends, without aig, she realized that she may have been too rash...
"..."
This situation was a bit tough fiorno.
Although he didn't think that gangsters were as bad as Jolyne imagined, in fact, he had once admired a certain gangster for his kindness. It was this admiration that inspired Giorno to bee a "gangster superstar."
So, Giraciously accepted Jolyne's praise.
But was that really the problem?
Faced with Jolyne, who was still holding his hands tightly, her eyes glowing as she gazed at him, Gior overwhelmed for the first time and asked her hesitantly, "So, Jolyne, did you specifically e to find me because you couldn't find reliable actors?"
"Mm-hmm."
Joly nodding.
"...And this is also why you've been worried tely?"
"Mm-hmm."
Although Jolyne had more worries than just this, this pretty much summed it up.
After all, if the quality of the actors dropped, then a script like "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", which requires high-quality actors to vey its depth, would certainly lose its emotional impact.
And as for the BD sales, not to mention the sales of reted merdise? Only die-hard fans would buy that stuff.
If the quality dropped, the number of die-hard fans would decrease as well.
Naturally, the profits of the project would end up heading dowh of failure!
Jolyne could foresee this.
Of course, Giorno could foresee this too.
This left him at a loss for how to respond to Jolyne's high expectations, unsure whether he should help or not.
Finally, after a long silence, Giorno, with the iion of not leading Jolyray, fessed, "But I don't uand anything about filming. And besides, even though I hahe records for every member in Passione, I 't find many people who meet your requirements..."
"Good! If you really knew about filmmaking, would I be asking for your help?" Jolyne was extremely satisfied with Giorno's rea and said, "Gang-STAR, have you ever heard of method ag or chosen actors?"
"?"
"Simply put, Gang-STAR, do you really think my father and the others are the kind of actors who toiled for ten years before finally being famous?"
"Isn't that the case?" Giorno couldn't help but ask.
After all, the actors at Green Dolphin Street Studio had no prior experien the industry. Their knowledge and skills were practically zero, making them more novice than novices.
Their legendary journey had bee as fasating to the public as "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", with the series itself being more popur and captivating the hearts of many.
The media ce and interviews only further fueled this curiosity.
If at first, they could cim to be cutting costs by saving money on media promotion, fog instead on the produ, ohe reporters started seeking them out, free publicity, Jolyne couldn't refuse, nor did she have any reason to.
So, Pucci, who was aware of this, had to refrain from making any bold statements about the industry being full of "trash actors." Instead, he made positive, inspirational ents, expining that Jotaro and the others only achieved their ag skills through tireless effort and dedication.
He kept everything positive.
Clearly, Giorno had bought into this narrative of actors pursuing their dreams.
He couldn't have imagihat Jotaro and the others were, in fact, a group of cheat-pying "Deep Blue" buffs!
