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

Chapter 1. The Wealthy Heir Bullies and Beats Up the Ambitious Poor Young Man

---

"KONO DIO DA!!"

"...So, this is the script you submitted for the interview?"

Inside the Green Dolphin Studio, Ryoko Kakyoin rubbed her forehead in fatigue.

This was partly because, as the interviewer for this recruitment, she felt mentally exhausted after continuously reviewing the works and interviewing the applicants.

But also because...

— The wealthy heir bullies and beats up the ambitious poor young man!?

Thinking of this, Ryoko Kakyoin glanced at the slightly dark-skinned man in front of her while recalling the script he had submitted.

No, she didn't think of this summary herself.

It was the absurd conclusion that the man who submitted the script had given to summarize his own work.

Are you sure that this script, once filmed, won't be criticized by the audience?

"Is there a problem?"

Unfortunately, the man had no such intuition.

Hearing his sincere and confident response, Ryoko Kakyoin sighed inwardly.

I wish you could give me some of that confidence...

Although she really wanted to end this interview right here.

Seeing the man's confident face, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Is this kind of script really popular nowadays?

"Mr. Pucci."

After taking a deep breath, Ryoko Kakyoin, maintaining a professional smile, curiously asked, "What is this 'KO·NO·DIO·DA'? Is it a key plot point or a foreshadowing?"

"No, it's just a simple line."

Pucci looked at her strangely and asked, "Don't you think it would be exhilarating and admirable if the villain says such a grandiose line after forcibly kissing the heroine?"

"..."

I've confirmed it.

You must be an undercover spy sent by a rival company, right?!

Ryoko re-examined the man in front of her, dressed neatly in casual clothes.

Yes, he looks tidy.

But why is he so brainless?

...This was Ryoko Kakyoin's new evaluation of him after hearing Pucci's words.

After careful consideration, she realized that even if a rival company wanted to send a spy, they wouldn't send someone as simple-minded as Pucci.

Only someone equally brainless would favor such a script.

This isn't just about "the wealthy heir bullies and beats up the ambitious poor young man," which would definitely provoke the audience.

The entire script exudes a depressing atmosphere. The protagonist is constantly suppressed by the villain and ends up alone.

Many popular scripts do have ups and downs, where the audience feels satisfied seeing the protagonist rise from the lows and defeat those who once belittled and bullied him.

But in this script, does the protagonist rise in the end?

It's hard to say.

Because just when the protagonist meets the heroine and starts to stand up a bit from the villain's oppression, the villain forcibly kisses the heroine!?

I don't understand, but I'm greatly shocked.

Seeing this, Ryoko Kakyoin lost interest in reading the rest of the depressing content and quickly flipped to the end of the script.

As expected.

The protagonist remains oppressed till the end, getting killed along with the villain...

"Mr. Pucci, your script..."

"JOJO's Bizarre Adventure," Pucci reminded, "Of course, you can also call it the first part, 'Phantom Blood.'"

"Yes, JOJO's Bizarre Adventure. Are you sure this is the work you chose to apply with?"

Ryoko Kakyoin asked awkwardly.

Who could remember the original title when the summary "the wealthy heir bullies and beats up the ambitious poor young man" was so catchy?

But 'Phantom Blood'... does that mean there's a sequel planned?

Anyway, it doesn't matter to me since this script is...

"I'm sorry, but your script is just..."

"Is there a sequel!?"

Just as Ryoko Kakyoin was about to reject the investment and return the script to Pucci, an excited voice suddenly interrupted.

"I, Jolyne Cujoh, will invest in this script!!"

"..."

"..."

===

My name is Pucci, 23 years old. An ordinary transmigrator, unmarried.

When I first awakened memories of my past life, I thought I had transmigrated into the world of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure."

I was troubled by the fate of eventually being defeated by the Joestar bloodline, while also anticipating when I would awaken my Stand.

After all, the Stand "White Snake" is practically the standard for a main character!

Inheriting DIO's will and ascending to heaven to obtain happiness?

Just awakening "White Snake" would make me very happy!

This hope persisted until one day, I happened to see a kid named "Edogawa Conan" on TV...

And the TV series "Detective Conan" starring this kid...

When the content about the Black Organization was aired and the creators weren't assassinated, Pucci realized that although this world appeared to be a mixed anime world on the surface, it seemed to be a normal world underneath.

Which meant my "White Snake," my happiness might also... no, it's not time to despair yet!

Just like Edogawa Conan became the star of "Detective Conan," Pucci found many similar examples online and discovered another golden finger!

Besides the mental strength and photographic memory from two lifetimes, he also had the ability to find the best actors and match them with the best scripts!

After realizing this, Pucci quickly revised his original plan and decided to become a famous director in this world!

However...

His first step as a great director seemed to be not very promising...

"I, Jolyne Cujoh, will invest in this script!!"

"Eh...!!?"
