Chapter 10. The Idealist

  ---

  "...Eh, isn't that a good thing?"

  Hearing Jolyne Cujoh's accusations, Pucci looked at Jolyh a bnk expression, then g Shinbo.

  As if asking the seasoned veteran Shinbo, who had ample funding—Is this reasonable?

  Since when did the boss stop g about the source of funds?

  Are they worried about their employees being too cautious with spending?

  Even a coal boss wouldn't be like this.

  ht.

  Among the businesses run by the Joestar family, there's Joestar Real Estate, which handles real estate transas, and the SPW Foundation, which started as a major oil glomerate before transf into a biomedical and high-tepany...

  Thinking about it this way, it does make sense.

  However, isn't Green Dolphin Studio only reted to the Joestar family through Jolyhe other affairs have nothing to do with the SPW Foundation or Joestar Real Estate, right?

  Otherwise, why would Ryoko Kakyoin have suggested using Joseph Joestar's o seek sponsorship in the first pce?

  And after he expressed his financial siderations, even Kakyoin Ryoko, who didn't agree with his approach at the beginning, had to succumb to the reality of the situation.

  The funding she wasn't fake.

  So why...

  Perhaps because she sehe fused looks from Pucd even Akiyuki Shinbo, who had also never heard of such a request, they looked at her.

  Jolyne Cujoh, who had already prepared this rhetori the way here, preteo be affeate and said, "Pucci, Minamizawa, what do you think of the current industry?"

  "...Uh, it should be okay," Pucci said uainly.

  Although he was o the industry, as a transmigrator, he khat this world had dimensional terparts and devices that could fully utilize their advantages.

  He thought that the eai industry in this parallel world was not on the brink of colpse.

  And Shinbo Akiyuki, in this regard, is a talented pyer himself.

  In Pucci's previous life, the JapaV animation industry was dominated by BD sales. Shinbo Akiyuki was able to crush a lot of seniors and became one person who occupied two positions among the top ten in historical sales: "Bakemonogatari," which ranks sed after "EVA," and "Puel Magi Madoka Magica," which ranks sixth.

  He also nodded ahat the industry was not finished yet.

  "No, the industry is on the verge of colpse!"

  Jolyne ented, "Pucci, do you know why I agreed with you not to hire Johnny's idols despite knowing they would bring massive traffid popurity to our work?"

  "Because I believe these idols who only sing, dance, and rap are not worth the price! Even if using my great-grandfather's name get us a dist!"

  Although her real reason was to lose money, she took the moral high ground using online criticisms of certain idols to hide her true iions.

  Besides, she wasn't wrong.

  "The essence of fully immersive filming is to make the audience feel the most realistic visual experience, as if a real story is happening in another world."

  "But what about those idols?"

  "Even if some idols gery to transform, most are trolled by the character temptes in the fully immersive device, ag like robots."

  "If their roles are almost like NPCs, why not use NPCs directly? NPCs with izable appearances are definitely more attractive than those idols!"

  Although fully immersive filming seemingly eliminated age and role difficulties, allowio py women, actors to return to their childhood state, or portray non-human characters without needing child or animal actors, most adjustments were already at their limits. Actors who could portray non-human characters were incredibly rare.

  Even with memory suppression, most actors subsciously believed they were human. If their subscious flicted with their non-human appearan the script, they might go crazy like Marvel's Deadpool, causing chaos in the script world and ruining the shoot.

  This was why idol dramas relying solely on looks still thrived in the fully immersive film era. With a set character tempte and a not-too-extreme actor's subscious, idols could tio act based on their looks.

  However, such works were at the low end of the fully immersive film industry's hierarchy, simir to traffic-driven dramas in traditional media. Some people loved them, while others despised them.

  Clearly, Pucd Shinbo, though not opposed to these cash-grabbing dramas, weren't particurly fond of them either.

  Seeing their ging expressions, Jolyne Cujoh secretly smirked and tinued, "I want to ge this industry!"

  "I want to prove that spending money on those idols is less worthwhile than iing in the overall produ quality. We should showcase the true advantages of fully immersive works and bring the audience a sense of reality as if they were in another world!"

  "Now, Director Pucci, do you still think not spending more budget is a trivial matter?!"

  "..."

  Is this the Joestar bloodline? Even in another world, with different jobs and goals, the Joestar bloodliill shines brightly, filled with golden spirit.

  Looking at Jolyne Cujoh, who radiated the light of an idealist, wanting to ge this dismal industry with her own efforts, Pucci sighed inwardly.

  However...

  "But President Cujoh, the budget for 'Phantom Blood' didn't hat mu the first pce."
