Chapter 4: Dio, Dio Brando

To pursue greater interests, we must not be distracted by small immediate gains.
…What are you talking about!?
For someone unfamiliar with the situation, it might seem like Green Dolphin Studio is a well-known, prestigious company in the industry, striving for artistic and dream-chasing productions that, even if not historically renowned, could still be revisited and appreciated years after their release.
However, is this company really like that?!
Not at all. It's a newly established studio with all members, including the supervisors and leaders, being complete novices.
In this situation, instead of focusing on making money to ensure the studio's healthy development, they are acting like they're not afraid of losing money, engaging in seemingly doomed operations.
This is simply...
Awesome!!
Jolyne Cujoh's eyes sparkled as she stared at Pucci.
"It looks like Director Pucci has already planned how to shoot the script while writing it. That's great."
No, young lady! Why are you agreeing with him too!?
Didn't you hear he's blatantly using connections!?
Initially thinking Jolyne was very reliable, Ryoko Kakyoin now looked at her in horror.
Unfortunately, before Ryoko could say anything, Jolyne waved her hand, dismissing what she was about to say, "Ryoko, I know what you want to say."
"But have you ever learned how to shoot a film or tried to produce a successful work?"
"..."
Indeed, I haven't.
But Pucci, even though he has the title of director, hasn't produced any successful work either.
"However, your concerns are valid," Jolyne said after a moment of reflection. "How about this, Pucci, in a few days, gather all the actors you've selected for this work and bring them over."
"If I feel they are acceptable after the interviews, we will hire them all."
"And if not, we will look for new actors. This way, everyone should be satisfied, right?"
After all, just in case Pucci got lucky and found some great actors by accident, she could find any reason to reject them during the interview.
By the way, Jolyne didn't mention anything about Johnny's and prepared to end the topic, looking at Ryoko Kakyoin and Pucci.
The former, though full of helplessness, accepted the proposal.
As for the latter...
"Director Pucci, do you have anything to add?"
"Yes, there's one thing."
Upon hearing Jolyne's call, Pucci shifted his gaze from the employee who had just brought them a fresh cup of tea back to her, "President Cujoh, that person just now was..."
"That person... Oh, you mean Jonathan."
Jolyne explained, "According to family hierarchy, he should be my cousin."
"But because his family is currently traveling in Japan with friends, they are temporarily staying at our house. Usually, it's not a big deal, right?"
"But they always feel they owe us something for staying, so they come over here to help out."
To say the least, people like Jonathan's family, so gentlemanly, are as rare as anomalies in the Joestar family.
Every time she saw them, Jolyne, who just wanted to lose money, felt a bit guilty.
Moreover, if it were just Jonathan, it would be fine.
The problem is that the one traveling with him is her uncle George, a successful British aristocrat.
With such diligent relatives watching over her, how could Jolyne possibly lose money?
"So, what's the problem?" Jolyne looked at Pucci, hoping the "professional" could suggest a way to drive Jonathan and his family away.
"No wonder, I was wondering why he seemed so suitable."
Saying this, without caring what Jolyne had asked earlier, Pucci said excitedly, "President Cujoh, I think your cousin can perfectly play the lead role in our production!"
"Even his friends, if suitable, can audition for roles too!"
"..."
What the hell!
Now, not only Jolyne and Ryoko Kakyoin but even the other staff listening in gasped.
No wonder Pucci became a director at such a young age. His flattery skills are incredible!
Using connections for himself while roping in the boss too!
This...
"Jolyne, this..."
"Excellent, very spirited! It's decided then!"
Yes, why didn't I think of this earlier?!
Jolyne thought, while she might not know the reliability of other actors, she certainly knew her relatives.
In terms of personality, Jonathan and his friends are reliable, but they have never acted before!
Jonathan, who has never participated in a school play, does he know what acting is?
With such a lead, it's bound to fail!
Feeling she found another path to losing money, Jolyne agreed, "Don't worry, Director Pucci. I will convince my cousin and his friends to come for the auditions!"
"..."
"..."
...
Thus, when Jolyne brought Jonathan and his friends from various positions in Green Dolphin Studio for auditions, Pucci returned to his dormitory and called a certain blond, muscular man studying for his law exam and several group members who responded to his request to meet at Green Dolphin Studio.
Together, they entered the audition site...
"Your name is..."
"Dio, Dio Brando!"
