  Chapter 20: The Beginning of a Legend, the Fate of Blood

  ---

  Advance Sing.

  Of course, this also be uood as the weekly broadcast of Pucci's previous life.

  This broadcastihod is simir to that of weekly broadcasts. It involves airing the show on TV or online els before the eory is fully filmed, gradually pleting the remaining ses while broadcasting the earlier ones.

  Overall, this approach has very obvious pros and s.

  The advantage is that the work is aired before it's fully pleted, allowing viewers' feedback to reach the produ team iime. Whether it's overwhelming praise or criticism, the team has time to prepare or make ges.

  The former case speaks for itself; if the inal script is terrible, making ges sometimes turn the script into a masterpiece.

  The tter case is eveer. Capital always seeks profit. A good work means more profit for the iors, whether through selling more episodes to TV stations or increasing the show's airtime to boost merdise sales.

  This lead to more episodes being produced, even if it meaending the story unnecessarily to maximize profit.

  The downside? As mentioned earlier, the produ team adjust the work based on viewer feedback. This often means that the writers themselves might not know how to tihe story. Preparing in advance for filming bees impossible.

  This is why most weekly shows, despite starting with abundant funding, visibly suffer from budget straints as they progress, with recap episodes uo save them from deing quality. There simply isn't enough time or money.

  These pros and s apply to traditional weekly shows. For full-dive produs, the pros and s shift to different aspects.

  So...

  "Huh?... What? What!? WHAT!?"

  Upon hearing Jolyne Cujoh say that she had signed a tract for an advance sing, Ryoko Kakyoin lost her posure and shook Jolyne frantically.

  "Jolyne, what are you doing!?" Ryoko yelled, shaking Jolyne, "Don't you know aerm for an advance sing!!?"

  Of course, I know. Why else would I choose this method aly sign the tract without telling you all? If I wasn't sure it would lose money, would I have sig?

  Though thinking this, Jolyne Cujoh held back her ughter and pulled Ryoko's hands away, expining seriously, "You 't just look at the surface, Ryoko. As a udio without famous directors or actors, how else we sell our work and attract viewers without an advance sing?"

  "Well..." Ryoko hesitated. She couldn't answer Jolyne's barrage of questions. Without fame, most people wouldn't watch a produ by unknown newers.

  "ive publicity is still publicity," Jolyne added.

  "Even so, you didn't have to submit 'Phantom Blood' to a bad film festival..."

  Ryoko Kakyoi utterly defeated.

  Exactly, a bad film festival!

  As mentioned, since most full-dive produs 't eable performance from actors' subsinds, and given the limited turime for weekly shows, any issue with the actors' subscious derail the entire script without enough time for the team to fix it, f them to air the fwed episodes.

  Over time, this sistent produ of bad films has led to weekly shows being synonymous with poor quality in viewers' minds. This view is shared by produ teams as well. No saeam would choose the weekly format uhey cked fiden the projed wao recoup costs quickly.

  Weekly shows mao thrive before the rise of full-dive filmie their obvious fws because waiting for aire series to be pleted before airing posed financial risks for iors and tent gaps for TV stations. They couldn't just endlessly rerun the same show while waiting for new oo finish produ.

  The same logic applies to full-dive filming. There's always a market for everything. Some people even enjoy watg bad films. Weekly shows still sell despite their reputation and there are websites dedicated to showg the test bad films.

  vinced her pn was fwless, Jolyted Ryoko's shoulder and reassured her, "Ryoko, you o have fiden our work. Pg our well-made produong a slew of bad films will make it stand out even more."

  No way! Among so many bad films, who would notice their "bad film" without losing their mind?

  This is why Jolyne wasn't worried that her strategy would actually boost "Phantom Blood's" reputation.

  "Trust me, Ryoko. This will work out just fine."

  ---

  "Today we won't be pying games. Let's all watch the newly released 'Phantom Blood.'"
