You Said You Would Make a Bad Movie, But You Made JOJO?

Chapter 2. My Hidden Dragon!

---

My name is Jolyne Cujoh, age confidential, and I'm an ordinary system holder.

That's right!

Jolyne Cujoh, while not a transmigrator, possesses a system!

And the system's ability is quite simple—

As long as the host invests funds in legitimate business activities and incurs a loss within a certain settlement period, the system will provide a rebate proportional to the loss, converting it into the host's personal assets.

Simply put, if the rebate ratio is 100:1, then losing one dollar will result in a rebate of one hundred dollars!

And losing one hundred dollars will return ten thousand dollars!

Moreover, since the rebate funds are legally transacted through some special means by the system, no one will question the source of these funds or find any illicit origins.

In short, with this investment rebate system, Jolyne Cujoh can...

"Old man, just wait to see the money roll in!!"

Seeing this, Jolyne Cujoh's first thought was to invest all her great-grandfather's assets into a failed venture, then use the rebated money as her personal wealth to finally achieve the father-daughter showdown she had always wanted!

Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful.

When Jolyne was about to proceed, the system warned her.

A bunch of usage instructions and rules appeared before her.

First, the host cannot reveal the existence of the system.

Secondly, the business activities must be legal and legitimate, not schemes like Ponzi schemes designed to lose money intentionally.

There were several pages of detailed restrictive terms.

In other words, Jolyne's plan to bankrupt Jotaro Kujo had ended before it even started due to the system's intervention.

Although many quick and convenient methods were restricted by the system, losing money is still achievable, right?

It's not like avoiding those methods means you won't lose money?

"Just wait, old man!"

"I will eventually drain your funds!"

So, eager to lose enough money to acquire the SPW Foundation and continue her father-daughter feud, Jolyne Cujoh established her Green Dolphin Studio.

She planned to pour all her investment into the bottomless pit of the film industry.

And thus, today's interview took place.

Upon hearing Pucci's unreliable script pitch and learning he had no prior experience as a director, she immediately chose him!

You're the one!

My Hidden Dragon!

…

—I knew choosing "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" was the right decision!

—Even though the current situation is a bit different, the Joestar bloodline will indeed support my ascension to heaven!

Unaware of Jolyne Cujoh's true intentions, Pucci shouted internally.

He knew it; a script filled with the Golden Spirit could not be rejected by a Joestar descendant.

"The so-called warrior dies for the one who knows him."

"Though it's impossible for me to die for you, especially considering that in the 'JOJO' storyline, as DIO's heir, I'm supposed to be your mortal enemy..."

"But I'm not the same Pucci as before!"

Gazing at the gates of Green Dolphin Studio, Pucci, having successfully completed his interview, still felt unreal.

How did he get chosen?

Even attributing his successful recruitment to the allure of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" for the Joestar family, Pucci felt somewhat embarrassed accepting this gift so easily.

Originally planning to leverage his knowledge as a transmigrator for a happy life, Pucci felt a unique sense of trust from Jolyne Cujoh.

Determined to not betray this trust and kindness, Pucci vowed silently, "Rest assured, Jolyne Cujoh. I will never let you down!"

"Even though the first part of 'JOJO's Bizarre Adventure' may seem outdated compared to later, more extravagant parts, the director and actors can turn an ordinary story into something extraordinary."

"There are plenty of works renowned for the exceptional performance of their actors in this world..."

Taking out his phone, Pucci posted a casting call in a special group chat.

Smiling with satisfaction, he prepared to revise his rough script.

After all, this group chat was Pucci's true ace as a transmigrator!

Every member in the chat was a protagonist from various works he had encountered over the years!

Known as "chosen actors" in this world, Pucci had originally planned to invite them only when preparing specific projects, to avoid drawing attention to their status too quickly.

However, to repay Jolyne Cujoh's kindness, he decided to make an unprecedented move—

Pucci would become Jolyne Cujoh's savior!

All these chosen actors, fitting the roles and conditions, would be cast!

He couldn't believe that a work featuring future award-winning actors could fail!

…

In this intricate game of intrigue, Ryoko Kakyoin, who was helping out as a favor for her cousin, was the only one unaware of the bizarre logic of Jolyne Cujoh and Pucci, one a system holder and the other a transmigrator.

As Jolyne and Pucci reveled in their triumphant laughter, she quietly took over the "mess," thinking of finding suitable actors to minimize Jolyne's losses.

"Although I don't understand the script, considering recent trends, a project featuring popular stars, even if it flops, will still have fans supporting it."

"Focusing on this should prevent too much loss."

Pressing her fingers to her temples, Ryoko Kakyoin thought, "And in the end, we can always rely on selling actor posters and CDs as a last resort!"

...

Finally, after everyone's active preparations, the day Pucci took over the filming arrived.
