Chapter 152. I am the Hokage! (Just Kidding)
---
"President Cujoh, what did you call me for?"
Hearing Cujoh Jolyne's summons, Pucci hurried over and asked nervously.
He couldn't help it.
Pucew his own situation well and realized that his ret requests for funding had been a bit too frequent.
Fet about other people; even Pucci himself would suspect embezzlement if someone else asked for funding this often, probably thinking they were pnning to take the money and run.
In fact, Jolyne summoning him only now, and even opping the flow of funds before this, was already surprising enough for Pucci.
Though he had been requesting funding a bit too excessively tely...
He had his reasons!
Think about how much time they spent previously for the filming of "Stardust Crusaders" and to allow Kujo Jotaro and the other actors to adapt to the power of Stands so they could use them effectively in the scripted world.
The sheer amount of practice time alone showed that this teology wasn't just "plug and py."
At the very least, an actor would o have a level of talent akin to being "chosen by the heavens" to wield a Stand effectively and make this eology work.
So, to ensure smooth filming iure; to make the Stand cept, which would tihroughout the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series, slightly more accessible so they could widen the recruitment pool of actors; and to moize this eology by lising it to recoup the initial iment…
They were stantly colleg data from Kujo Jotaro and the others during filming, using that data to optimize the system. Naturally, expenses kept piling up.
With these thoughts, Pucci reached into his pocket and found that the receipt book doting every t he had spent, detailing the funding sources, was still there. He hadn't left it behind or lost it.
With this small boost of fidence, Pucci tinued, "If you're here to talk about funding, President Cujoh, I would like to—"
"Oh, Pucci, you're here!"
Interrupting him, Cujoh Jolyne waved a small notebook in her hand and said, "You came just in time. Take a look at these filming points I just anized!"
"?"
Filming points?
Wasn't this about funding?
Feeling that he might have misuood something, Pucci asked, "President Cujoh, is there a problem with our filming?"
That shouldn't be the case.
"That's where you're wrong, Director Pucci. As the director of "Stardust Crusaders", how you be so negligent?" Cujoh Jolyne said with an expression of disappoi.
"Huh?"
"Fortunately, it's not too te to fix things," Jolyne tinued. "Based on the feedback I found from "Stardust Crusaders" viewers online, I've been inspired to suggest several points to prevent simir issues from happening again!"
So that's it; it's the feedback from the i.
Hearing this expnation, Pucci roughly uood what was happening.
After all, he was also aware of online feedback.
The poor performance of the first episode of "Stardust Crusaders" even prompted Akiyuki Shinbo to personally ask if Pucci was fag some difficulties.
With this in mind, Pucci apologized, "President Cujoh, I did indeed fail to sider some things."
He didn't mention how the success of the sed episode had already ralized viewers' dissatisfa with the first episode, nor how the trast betweewo episodes elevated the story of "Stardust Crusaders"—those were just excuses.
The problem wasn't simply that the first episode of "Stardust Crusaders" was bad.
The real issue was that, as someone who was exposed to "JoJo's" memes everywhere online in his previous life and who only watched "Stardust Crusaders" after being enced by friends, Pucci didn't think much about it when he saw the storyline.
He didn't even sider Kujo Jotaro losing to Avdol as a problem.
So when he recreated this storyline in this world, Puaturally found it hard to uand why the se, which he had watched numerous times in the past without issue, was suddenly problematic.
If it weren't for the clues about DIO that kept hooking viewers from start to finish and for the fact that Joseph Joestar, a previous protagonist, brought enormous popurity to "Stardust Crusaders", there might not have been many viewers willing to stick around for the sed episode to experiearo's charm as the true protagonist.
This sort of discrepancy from different perspectives had already happened more than once!
It was just that each time, they were lucky enough not to cause too much damage.
But could that luck st forever?
Pucci wasn't sure.
But now, everything was different!
If he could have a "viewer" who differed from him, someone willing and daring to give feedback, he could effectively prevent these issues from recurring!
Somewhat thinking along the same lines as Jolyne, Pucci straightened up and said, "So, President Cujoh, what are these suggestions you've summarized...?"
Huh?
He's so agreeable?
Cujoh Jolyne, who had prepared several lines ument and even sidered using her authority as President to force Pucci to accept her suggestions, was dumbfounded by his response.
Shouldn't Pucci use the "ypeople 't and experts" excuse to sternly reject her?
Could it be that what she read online was wrong?
Does the industry actually wele iors like her to interfere with filming?
If so, that's my brilliant genius!
I knew I didn't misjudge him!
Although she couldn't quite figure it out, Jolyne, in high spirits, began to discuss the suggestions she had summarized: "First, we o reduce Jotaro's s time!"
