Chapter 67. Actors in Position, Filming Begins!
---
After Pucci had dealt with Kars on his end, at Green Dolphin Studio...
Due to Cujoh Jolyne's iion to press her advantage and not miss the current wave of "Phantom Blood"'s success, she wao use the pletely different "Battle Tendency" to shatter the audience's expectations.
Not long after the pletion of "Phantom Blood", and after the staff had a few days of rest, they were quickly back to work on "Battle Tendency". The staff, now motivated by a sary that was tripled and enhanced by the success of "Phantom Blood", worked with a mix of pain and pleasure.
However...
"Is this really going to be okay?"
Looking at the staff who, having been motivated by what essentially amouo six times their usual sary, were now bursting with enthusiasm and treating the pany as their own.
Their high efficy did n him joy.
Instead, Shinbo Akiyuki, orried about the situation, nervously said, "The situation online is like this. After all, we still have to keep in mind the life of JOJO's son."
Although Shinbo enjoyed filming the ses of JOJO's death, he couldn't help but enter a state of ay afterward.
Especially when seeing that almost all the viewers online had bought into Pucci's alternative narrative and were looking forward to "Battle Tendency", the sed part of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure".
Shinbo felt as if the audience who couldn't accept this plot twist were ready to figuratively strangle him at any moment.
"Shinbo, do you think making JOJO's son an ue would be more acceptable to the audienaking JOJO's grandson an ue?"
"... The grandson, I guess."
After some thought, Shinbo replied.
"That's settled then," Pucci said with determination. "Since even you think so, the audience should uand our difficulties."
Still, Pucci had no idea what kind of mood or pressure Araki-sensei was under when writing such a plot.
But judging by Araki-sensei's past as the ageless and perfect being, this plot twist and its innovation in the industry should be fine.
Otherwise, how could Araki-sensei have survived to the 21st tury?
So, all is well.
In an effort to build fidence, Pucci secretly copied Shinbo's Wikipedia entry from the Green Dolphin Studio's website, emphasizing his impressive credentials and experienpared to the empty resume of the newer director.
In trast to Shinbo, who ortrayed as a seasoned professional, Pucci, who was merely a rookie director, looked like an inexperienewer.
Satisfied with these preparations, Pucci murmured, "These sacrifices are necessary."
He was so kied.
Seeing Shinbo's apparent ck of fidence, he immediately added another o his resume, aiming to restore his fiden the industry!
No, this was definitely not him bag down!
"What?"
Shinbo, feeling something, looked over and asked, "Did you say something, Pucci?"
"What? Did I say something? ...You must be too nervous and heard something strange," Pucci said fidently. "Instead of w about such small matters, Shinbo, why don't you focus on training Nobuo Tobita?"
"Although he has great potential, if that potential is not realized, it's just potential."
"So you know about that too, Pucci?"
Shinbo, who was also troubled by Major Tobita, had his attention successfully diverted. "In that case, why did you choose Nobuo Tobita?"
"Even if President Cujoh doesn't uand, there's no way you don't, right?"
"And looking at Tobita's physique, the German military would be crazy to let him pass the physical and promote him to major~~"
At 160 cm tall and weighing about the same, Nobuo Tobita didn't match the physical standards.
Moreover, achieving the rank of major, especially in the German army which discarded the best bulletproof helmets due to appearance issues, was extremely difficult.
He seemed more suited for a role in the home security team, which also required "real guns and bullets."
"But oher hand, if eople believe that Nobuo Tobita is a German major, then he bees an alternative secret on, doesn't he?"
"... Ah, indeed."
If even someone like Nobuo Tobita, who clearly doesn't look like a major, be accepted by the audience for various reasons, then there should be nothing the audience 't accept.
So Pucci, seizing the opportunity, said, "Now it's up to you, Shinbo. There's probably only one more episode before Tobita's major appearance."
"In this episode, train Tobita well so that he ie with our set tempte and bee a qualified soldier."
"... Huh!?!"
…
"1938, New York"
What was America like during this era?
It was a mix of eic crisis and racial tension, creating a vibrant and tumultuous atmosphere.
After World War I, America had profited greatly.
But unlike World War II, where Europe's popution was decimated, America did not face such a situation.
Stists, politis, capitalists, and ordinary people came to America to escape war, seek political asylum, or avoid being war criminals, bringing advaeology, workers, and a rge popution, turning America from a provincial upstart into a new empire that surpassed Britain and France post-WWII!
Of course, that's a story for ter.
For America at this time.
Although the try mao shift the eic crisis by profiting from war, racial tensions intensified.
At this time, Afri Ameris did not have the bag of the Bck Panther Party or Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" to fight for equal rights.
Lin's Emancipation Procmation only ged their roles from fortable agricultural workers to cheap borers who worked tirelessly without rest.
Even the money earned during the eic crisis was cimed by the higher-ups as being taken by bcks, fueling white distent and being exploited by the KKK.
But this is just background information.
JOJO is a hero, but if the people don't rise up, one or two heroes alone ot ge much.
Thus, Smokey Brown, forced into a life of petty crime to survive, met the sed-geion JOJO—Joseph Joestar—in this harsh enviro.
