Chapter 36. The Enlightened Ones are Always Happy

---

"Golden Spirit..."

"What's wrong, Pucci?"

Shinbo Akiyuki asked curiously and worriedly, "Or did President Cujoh call you away alone for something?"

Well, he had been curious long before this.

After all, she is the largest investor, producer, and producer of the "Phantom Blood" project.

The tolerance that Cujoh Jolyne showed towards the crew members is rare in the world.

You know, even the coal bosses have the requirement to insert their own female companions into the work as the heroines before they will invest in the work.

And Cujoh Jolyne...

If it wasn't for Pucci suggesting that Jonathan and others be the actors, Jolyne Cujoh probably wouldn't even have thought of inserting people into her own work.

But thinking of the performance of Jonathan, the chosen actor, if every actor forced upon them by an investor is a chosen one, then Akiyuki Shinbo really thinks that forcing people in is not impossible. Rather, the more the better!

Therefore, compared with various investors in the industry, this treatment is extremely good, but Akiyuki Shinbo is still a little worried.

We are all adults. It is clear that there is no free lunch in the world.

The preferential treatment given to them by Cujoh Jolyne couldn't be given without any demands, right?

-- Sure enough, what is supposed to come will come.

-- I was wondering how there are still such investors in the industry who are not only reasonable but also will not interfere with the filming process of the crew?

-- The reason why I didn't get involved in the filming right away was probably because "Phantom Blood" had not yet generated any revenue. But now, when "Phantom Blood" starts to create value, it is natural to start recovering the cost of the investment.

Shinbo Akiyuki exclaimed.

He even had some plans in his mind on how to recover the costs.

It's nothing more than advertising placement, or taking advantage of the early screening of "Phantom Blood". Other companies can spend some money to send the new actors that these companies want to introduce to their crews for gilding, and arrange some plots for these new actors in the script world...

Generally speaking, these are the things. But if this happens, their work will be ruined.

-- I hope President Cujoh will not be so short-sighted when dealing with this matter.

Just when Akiyuki Shinbo was thinking this, Pucci's relaxed voice came over at the right time, "Nothing, it's just that President Cujoh is worried that we are affected by the outside world."

"...Eh!?"

Shinbo Akiyuki was stunned for a moment.

This seemed a little different from what he imagined...

"Look, didn't you have this situation before in the new house?"

Pucci said: "Because of the fear of the performance of "Phantom Blood" later, we were restrained when filming, so those interesting ideas that we could easily add to the script were abandoned."

"This is the situation that President Cujoh is worried about."

"She didn't want us to forget the original intention of filming, nor did she want us to compromise with the outside world. Instead, she wanted us to go all out to film the stories we wanted to film and the stories we liked!"

The light reflected from the screen of the instrument shone on Pucci's face.

Looking at the young man's profile and the serious movements in his hands, it was as if the things he had mentioned before were no big deal and could not even slightly affect his movements and work.

But...

-- So the person who is truly short-sighted is me...

Shinbo Akiyuki suddenly didn't know what to say.

He didn't even understand what this sound that resounded like thunder around his whereabouts and the inexplicable emotions that flashed through his heart were.

Like a person whose edges have been smoothed by reality, when he sees young people who are still pursuing their dreams, he feels nostalgic for that youthful vigor, feels reluctant to part with it, and feels...jealous...

So good.

Let's give full applause to the unconfused awareness.

Involuntarily, a lyric from "ジョジョ～その血の运命～" appeared in Akiyuki Shinbo's mind.

Then he seemed to understand.

Knowing that he would die and that the prophecy also warned him that he would face a cruel death in the future for saving JOJO, Zeppeli resolutely stepped into the place of death that the prophecy warned him of. What was the reason?

Is this because Zeppeli did not believe the prophecy?

No, if he didn't believe it, Zeppeli wouldn't have kept this prophecy in his heart.

So is it because Zeppeli is not afraid of death?

Haha, how could there be someone in this world who is not afraid of death?

Just like fleas that always want to challenge humans who are much bigger than them, regardless of the situation.

Would people call such reckless behavior "fearlessness" or "courage"?

No, it won't!

True courage is the spirit and belief to turn fear into something within your grasp even when you understand it!

The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!

The greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage!

Zeppeli still stepped into the room that would bring him death according to the prophecy.

It's not because fate cannot be defied.

But it's because Zeppeli chose to face his own destiny!

Since the outcome of fate cannot be changed, then use his courage to make the process of fate more exciting!

That is to say...the enlightened ones are always happy.

"There is only one kind of true heroism in the world, and that is people who still love life after seeing the truth of life."

"What?"

Pucci, who heard Shinbo Akiyuki's sudden murmur, couldn't help but look at him.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of some interesting ideas." Shinbo Akiyuki came back to his senses and smiled again, "Director Pucci, aren't you still a little hesitant about how to shoot and handle the scene of Zeppeli's exit?"

"So, do you want to listen to my advice as a person who has been through this before?"

"Although it may not be very good, I think it should be able to give you some reference."
