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

Chapter 5. Full-Dive

 ---

"I feel so exhilarated, like welcoming the morning of the new year in brand new underwear!"

She opened the windows of her office.

After a whole day of interviews, Cujou Jolyne welcomed the refreshing breeze with a satisfied look, gazing out at the bustling cityscape.

She couldn't be more pleased with today's interviews!

Pucci, the Hidden dragon she meticulously selected, didn't disappoint her expectations at all. There was no chance of recruiting any talented actors through conventional channels.

Not only were they all rookie actors, but the caliber of these newcomers set a new industry record. They hadn't even played extras before, and before this, they hadn't even studied in a non-actor specialty. Truly, they were newbies in every sense!

Even when Cujoh Jolyne personally interviewed Dio, whom Pucci recommended so highly, asking him why he wanted to participate in the filming, his answer completely refreshed her understanding.

In summary, it was just one sentence—money!

The reason he studied law was because lawyers make money. And now, the reason he agreed to come and act was because being an actor can earn even more money than being a lawyer!

Such a simple desire was indeed the consensus of most people in the industry.

But could this be said openly?

Even if it was just pretending, many internet celebrities would pretend to be actors for the sake of their dreams.

Because everyone loves talking about money and benefits.

Reality also cruelly states that having money means being able to do whatever you want.

But isn't it because reality is so harsh that people seek warmth and comfort in fictional works?

And only those who pursue film and television works with ideals can contribute to audiences with qualified, and even excellent, classic works... This is also a consensus in the industry, and even among audiences.

But here, they were going against the tide.

Can you imagine what this work will look like in the end?

I'm afraid it will only show the beauty of the characters to the audience!

Well, that's it.

The pretty-boy game otaku Kirigaya Kazuto, who was brought over by Pucci, and the foreign beauty Artoria are indeed very threatening.

Except in terms of basic popularity, they cannot compete with those traffic stars backed by big companies.

In terms of looks alone, they can definitely outshine most of the stars on the market.

If it weren't for Kirigaya Kazuto's character having only two or three lines, and Artoria, the female lead, being kissed by Dio, the antagonist, offending those viewers who might consider Artoria as their "waifu".

She probably didn't dare to sign them.

Unfortunately, in this plot, Jonathan and Dio, who cooperate with the protagonist and the villain, have a physique that is completely contrary to the mainstream aesthetic...

"Woohoo~ this feeling is really beautiful, wonderful, I want to sing a song!"

"Thinking that Uncle George and others, who have been blocking me from losing money, have all been thrown into the crew, and that Pucci, the hidden dragon responsible for the script filming, has found those strange actors, really makes me excited!"

With the hidden dragon in hand, she can't think of not losing money!

"Yes, I heard that Dio and Pucci are in the same dormitory."

After laughing, Cujoh Jolyne also started thinking about serious matters.

It is indeed reassuring to leave the task of losing money to Pucci and others.

But if Pucci and the others really suffered too much loss, then apart from her, everyone else would definitely doubt their abilities.

In the end, it is very likely that she will no longer be able to use Pucci and others to lose money.

She must think of a way to ensure sustainable development.

Thus, Araki Manor, the dormitory that nurtured two talents, Pucci and Dio, and which Pucci proudly called himself, suddenly came into her sight.

"Although it is already the limit for an ordinary university dormitory to gather two talents like Pucci at the same time, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together."

"Even if the other people in Araki Manor are not good enough, after being influenced by Pucci and the others, can't they inherit some of their skills?"

It's not impossible.

After all, it takes three years to learn good things, but only three days to learn bad things.

"Capture them. We must capture all the people from Araki Manor!"

…

Just when Cujoh Jolyne was thinking about the future.

Pucci also completed the debugging of several full-dive devices rented by the crew with the help of the staff, and successfully input the script of "Phantom Blood", the first part of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure".

Yes, full-dive.

In this world, the full-dive game developed by Kayaba Akihiko has not only revolutionized the gaming industry but also made significant waves in film and television.

The first director eager to pioneer this technology used a full-dive device to film the world's first authentic full-dive movie.

Traditional movies and TV series were swiftly phased out without resistance!

After all, no matter how immersive a 3D movie is.

How can it compare to just wearing a full-dive device at home and completely reborn into this viewing experience like a "parallel world"?

The temperature of the sun shining on the body, the waves of the sea under the breeze, and the fishy smell that came from it.

All evoke a sigh: Ah, this light! Ah, this water!

How can traditional movies and TV series compare?

Just like the special effects movies in front of 3D CGI movies, they will be thrown away and abandoned.

This is also why Dio and others have no acting experience at all, but Pucci still believes that they will bring success to "Phantom Blood".

Because after several years of development and internal competition.

The requirements of full-dive actors have evolved from using full-dive devices to shoot to now not only using full-dive devices to shoot, but also shielding the actor's real memory, making them really think of themselves as aborigines in the script world, only using the subconsciousness to perform the real feeling of the work to the extreme!

Thus, the legend of the chosen actors has also risen.

It is constantly praised by industry insiders.

After all, who dares to guarantee that an actor who is renowned as the pinnacle of grace in the real world won't metamorphose into a succubus mother in the script world.

"Since everyone is familiar with the script, then—"

"JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood", the first episode, invader Dio. Action!"
