Chapter 169. I Really Like XX's Line - Ah!?
---
That's right, the script isn't ready yet.
Of course, if we're talking about preparation, Pucci could easily write the script for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" Part 4, "Diamond is Unbreakable", right here and now.
But the problem is, what about the filming afterwards?
No matter how good the script is, it's just a story on paper.
To turn this paper story into a real work, we need people!
We need actors!
We need directors!
We need professionals from all reted fields!
Only when all these people work together is there a ce to present a work that people actually wat front of an audience!
And remember, it's only a "ce."
The reason is simple.
Lu Xun once said: "Style, mood, and tendencies vary not only by person, but also by situation, and by time."
Si's a work created by people, it's iable that there will be some small ges due to the individuals involved.
Just like "The Mask".
Before Jim Carrey, the king of edy, decided to py the lead role, who would've thought this horror movie would turn into a edy because of him?
This perfectly illustrates how a brilliant actor greatly enhand transform a work!
versely, choosing actors before finalizing the script...
Pucci could already foresee the odd bunch that Cujoh Jolyne had chosen for them and imagihe future ges these unfamiliar actors would bring to "Diamond is Unbreakable" ohey joihe produ.
However, Pucci could uand Jolyne's as.
Recalling what Akiyuki Shinbo had mentioned before about how Cujoh Jolyne suddenly took over the director's role to film the st episode of "Battle Tendency", it wasn't just about taking on responsibility for Shinbo, who found it difficult to bear.
It was also likely because Jolyne, as the president of Green Dolphin Studios, had to uand all the details involved in making a film.
Just like a emperors, apart from the rare exceptions like Liu (Adou), most emperors—such as Liu Xiu and Li Shimin—were stronger in battle than their subordinates, or rather, they were the ones who quered the world themselves, so they didn't fear rebellion.
They wouldn't take drastic measures against their subordinates after achieving victory.
Simirly, if Cujoh Jolyne, as the president of Green Dolphin Studios, didn't uand what her subordinates were doing, wouldn't that be like allowing them to render her powerless?
If Jolyne's staff were not as principled as they were now...
If they were repced by others...
Given how indulgent Jolyne had been toward them, and the number of times Pucci had requested funding without her batting a wasn't impossible.
Although Pucci didn't know why Jolyne had suddenly "woken up" about this matter, from the perspective of the pany's future, Jolyne's enlighte could be sidered a good thing.
Maybe she'd even try ag herself to fully grasp the filming process.
But why now? Why this sudden awakening, and why so inplete—mixing up the sequence of writing the script first and theing the actors?
Looking at Jolyne, who was ag like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, still vihat her as were perfectly right, Pucci couldn't help but feel exhausted.
What exactly was Cujoh Jolyhinking?!
—Hahaha! That expression, that's the one I've been waiting to see!
Jolyne was ughing with joy inside.
Seeing Pucci's sour expression, Jolyne couldn't even maintain her posure, and Pucci could clearly sehe delight radiating from her.
After all...
—Serves yht for backstabbing me! You deserve it!!
Indeed, who would've thought that even Pucci, this straight-ced guy with his thick eyebrows, would start backstabbing her!?
This was the test news Jolyne had just discovered oer ing up the new actor recruitment—"The Emperor and The Hanged Man Part 2", the test episode of "Stardust Crusaders", had been broadcast and was incredibly popur!
How was that possible!?
There was a mole!
Pucci must have realized her true iions aly ged all of her suggestions! He must've only left "The Emperor and The Hanged Man Part 1" unged to deceive her, theed everything in Part 2!
Yes!
That had to be it!
With that thought, filled with a desire for justid also to see ucci had altered t the plot ba track so she could avoid those "strengths" ime—Jolyook a closer look.
KO NO DIO: "No exaggeration, Kakyoin's character portrayal was godlike! You have no idea, when 'Virtuous Pope' pyed, I got goosebumps!!"
ROSE Garden: "How could you fet Polnareff?! Whether it's Kakyoin with Polnareff or Polnareff with Avdol, they're... just perfect! Di Molto (extremely) perfect!!"
Not Wearing It is Truly Cool: "Instead of fog on the well-established protagonist Jotaro, they highlighted the growth of others, subtly emphasizing DIO's overwhelming power as a boss who couldn't be defeated by just one person. At the same time, it once again firmed that this is "Stardust Crusaders" and the "Stardust Crusaders"! This portrayal was truly brilliant!"
"..."
Huh?
Somethi off—very off!
The more Jolyne read, the more familiar it seemed. The plot being praised to the skies was barely altered, filmed exactly as she had intended.
Wait! These were all the things I suggested!?
No!
This couldn't be my fault!
After eliminating the correswer, Jolyched "The Emperor and The Hanged Man" again several times and finally firmed—
This wasn't her problem!
It was the actors!
Even though Kakyoin and the others were reended by her...
But that wasn't the point!
If it weren't for reading Pucci's "Stardust Crusaders" script first, she would've thought Pucci was trying to ftter her by reending her father, Kujo Jotaro, and the others!
So this time, without knowing the script, Cujoh Jolyne had stubbornly choseors herself to cut off any ce of success.
Not giving Pucci a ce to speak, she dragged him along to meet his future co-actors.
And when Pucci finally met the actors Jolyne had meticulously selected...
He had only ohought—
"Ah!?"
