  Chapter 44. Good Job!

  ---

  "So, what do you think, President Cujoh?"

  "What do you think about how we hahis plot?"

  Pucci looked at Jolyne Cujoh with anticipation as he asked.

  Simirly, it wasn't just Pucci.

  Akiyuki Shinbo, who had also tributed many ideas during the filming process, and Junpei Mizusaki, who provided teical assistao perfectly showcase the effects envisioned by Pucd Shinbo, were all eager to hear her thoughts.

  After all, the creators' opinions don't t as much as those of the audience.

  Only if the audience says it's good, is it truly good.

  So, even though Shinbo and the others were very satisfied with the results of this episode, especially Mizusaki, who felt an immense sense of aplishment seeing the impact of the ses he crafted, they were still eager for Jolyne's feedback.

  Jolyne, who watched this episode purely as a viewer, had to admit that the episode was indeed impressive.

  Whether it was the sorrow of Zeppeli's death or the sense of hope and transdence he entrusted to JOJO, or JOJO's acquisition of new power and reition from his mentors, preparing to fight DIO with an open-ended and limitless clusion, everything had been well executed to stir the audience's emotions.

  Of course, Jolyne couldn't articute the teical excellence of the episode with professional terms.

  She simply felt that the episode was very well done.

  Even she, who had watched with different iions, was unsciously drawn in by the episode's tent until Pucci's voiapped her back to her inal purpose.

  So...

  "Very good, Pucci, you did a great job!"

  Jolyne smiled brightly.

  This wasn't ag or sarcasm.

  Jolyne had previously mentiohat she wasn't familiar with overly teical terms.

  If asked to pinpoint what made this episode of "Phantom Blood" great, she wouldn't be able to.

  But she uood the plot!

  Pucd his team had undoubtedly met her requirements by following the inal script and killing off Zeppeli in a grand and impactful manner, which eve her deeply moved.

  Given this, the fans of "Phantom Blood," who loved its distinct characters, would definitely be blown away by this se!

  With this thought, Jolyne g the ents se and saw that the feedback was just as she had imagined, making her fully satisfied as she removed the full dive device.

  Beaming with pride, she addressed Pucd his team: "This is the kind of work we at Green Dolphin Studio should be creating!"

  "It's not about produg what the audience says they want, but as creators, the only thing we should respect is the story itself!"

  "Only those who respect the story bring the truest tales to life for all the audience who love them to see!"

  Jolyne's voice grew more impassioned aed.

  This was the kind of work she truly wao see!

  Pandering to the audience would mean that many would eventually support the work.

  But that was something she absolutely couldn't allow or wao see happen!

  So, she believed that by creating tent trary to what the audience wahey would be disappointed and not support the work.

  Yes, finally, the good days of losing money had e!

  How long had she waited for this day?!

  Thinking of this, Jolyne made sure to remind Pucd his team: "Even though this story-first approach might sometimes make it hard for our audieo accept the story."

  "Trust me, it's just a storm before the calm. Wheime es, history will prove that what we'll get is a glorious rainbow!"

  ...As if!!

  After the storm es aroorm!

  Rainbows only appear in cheesy literature!

  But to keep Pucd the others in line and to prevent Shinbo and the others from misinterpreting her iions and backstabbing her, Jolyne decided to use these motivational words to keep them vinced.

  "So go ahead and do it boldly!"

  "Don't worry about external opinions or influences. For Zeppeli's ending and JOJO's uping clusion, we o follow the inal narrative of 'Phantom Blood' and deliver the most geory to those who believe in us!"

  "This is what you, as creators, should be doing, right?!"

  "..."

  This was Jolyne Cujoh.

  Having heard Pucci reting his initial versation with her, Junpei Mizusaki had thought he was joking or just saying hings because she was their boss.

  But hearing Jolyne genuinely ence them to create freely made him feel he was in the right pce!

  There was actually someone in the world with such a patible mi!

  If he weren't a boss himself, Mizusaki would've wao quit and join Green Dolphin Studio immediately.

  Seeing Mizusaki so enthusiastic, Pucd Shinbo didn't need any more encement.

  "Leave it to us, President Cujoh!"

  They responded loudly!

  So, without any surprise.

  "Phantom Blood" had another ued turn, much to Jolyne's delight...
