  Chapter 27. Lucky Jolyne Cujoh

  ---

  Unanimously.

  When Jolyne Cujoh pinned her st hope on the BD sales, praying that "Phantom Blood" would be one of those critically accimed but ercially unsuccessful works, others in the "Phantom Blood" produ crew also hi this .

  Although the premiere of "Phantom Blood" went smoothly and was indeed very encing, they felt that if they couldn't deliver a satisfactory ao Green Dolphin Studio for the generous treatment they received from Jolyne, how could they be worthy of such a privilege?

  Especially those industry veterans whom Jolyne had uionally recruited.

  To them, "dying for a fidant" was never just a figure of speech when faced with Jolyne, who gave them opportunities and hope. Pucci effortlessly mao shoot "Phantom Blood" with the fully immersive shooting equipment for the first time, thanks not only to the actors' extraordinary talents but also to the industry veterans who had worked tirelessly and overtime, well-versed in the filming process.

  After all, without overtime pay, anyone would find ways to sck off. But if overtime pay is suffit, then the pany is like home!

  Thus, even if just for the sake of this generous pay, they didn't want Jolyo truly go bankrupt.

  But given the current situation,

  Whether it was the sold-out advance sing rights or the growing popurity, which meant more people had watched the plot of "Phantom Blood," could they genuinely sell their BD discs afterward?

  sidering the budget, after Jolyne decided to increase the funding, the money spent on "Phantom Blood" was signifitly higher than other works of the same period, akin to the differeween the inal "JoJo" and "Fate/stay night [UBW]."

  Could they really sell enough BD discs to recoup the initial iment?

  "Of course, we'll sell them and make a profit!" Pucci said fidently and without a doubt. "In fact, my thoughts aligirely with President Cujoh's!"

  Jolyne Cujoh, who wasn't present: No, they don't! No, they don't!!

  "Choosing an advance sing may seem like a bad move, but iy, for a udio like ours, it's a rare masterstroke!"

  What's having a broad vision? This is it!

  Even Pucci himself wouldn't dare to say or do this without the knowledge from his previous life to back it up. Before widespread knowledge that online dissemination could indeed boost animation revenue and that streaming sites could drive BD and merdise sales, who could have imagihat such dissemination would bring real bes to the producers?

  "For those who like our work, no matter what, they'll buy our BDs for various reasons—whether for the special bonuses, or because true fahree copies: oo preach, oo appreciate, and oo collect."

  "For those who don't like our work, they won't buy it anyway."

  "So for us, not yet widely known, the rexed advance sing cuse allows our work to spread and turn more new viewers into fans, making it the best choice!"

  Though this might sound like dedug the process from the result, Pucdeed had discovered that the w from his previous life still held in this world when Jolyne decided on the advance sihod and they prepared the episodes for sing.

  Otherwise, why would Pucci tact [ ] and friends in the group to help with live stream promotion? Because he fully uood Jolyne's iions, ready to assist wholeheartedly and even accelerate the spread of "Phantom Blood"'s fame.

  --"Damn, why is 'Phantom Blood' an advanced-released weekly show?!"

  --"Now I have to wait a week for the episode?!"

  --"I'll die without a new episode of 'Phantom Blood'!"

  --"I'll die without a new episode of 'Phantom Blood'!" +1

  --"..."

  Even if someone pulled out an inal life form meme to forcibly break this loop, the viewers' resilience would bring it back.

  Until...

  --"I heard that crews choosing advance sings are usually short on money..."

  --"Judging by the cssic ses in 'Phantom Blood' parable to full-dive movies, it doesn't seem like a lie that they're short on funds and budget."

  --"Indeed. Otherwise, I 't think rodu of this scale would go for advance sing."

  --"...Damn, just take my money and give me the uping episodes!"

  --"Shut Up And Take My Money!"

  --"..."

  Simirly, seeing these ents under "Phantom Blood," Pucci was fident about its potential to recoup costs.

  In his previous life, David Produao sell over 20,000 copies of their work despite a tight budget. In this world, without the inal manga to spoil the plot and with a budget surpassing David Produ's, shouldn't they expeultiply that sales figure?

  "So, it's really lucky for Jolyne Cujoh to have chosen me as the director!"
