Chapter 47. I Have an Uncle
---
Complete! Done for!
CNMD! White Snake!!
Jolyne Cujoh was about to go crazy!
She even wondered if this guy named White Snake had a personal grudge against her!?
Otherwise, why was he targeting her like this?!
She did intend to praise "Phantom Blood" when everyone else hated it, to fan the flames.
This was to achieve her goal of exploiting the system, no doubt!
But, that's not how you're supposed to praise and fan the flames!
Is this even praising and fanning the flames?!
No, you just want me dead!!
Seeing this reply from White Snake.
The initially noisy audience, who planned to gather and demand an explanation from Green Dolphin Studio for killing Zeppeli so abruptly.
Now, they simply flipped sides and started a prolonged debate and research around White Snake's expanded question. Some even diverted to questioning whether delinquents and bad students could truly inherit the Golden Spirit.
Jolyne felt a deep sense of frustration.
Where's your perseverance?
Where's your faith!?
How could you surrender so easily!?
With such behavior, you dare to question if others have the Golden Spirit?
You yourselves lack this persistent Golden Spirit!!
Especially another user with the ID "C-Moon" —
"The true industry-shaking or most attractive aspect of 'Phantom Blood' isn't anything else but those vividly distinct characters, differing from the traditionally proven archetypes of emotionless, tsundere, flat-chested, emotionally dull, kind-hearted... and so on. Instead, it establishes a brand new style of character creation brimming with infinite charisma."
"It doesn't need cute character designs, nor does it need formulaic settings, nor does it need to follow some popular template. Just incorporating the best qualities of humanity like courage, kindness, wisdom, perseverance, gratitude, and friendship... naturally forms a character almost unbeatable by others, possessing a powerful personality and a beautiful soul!"
Those who like emotionless, tsundere, flat-chested characters... don't you want to refute this ridiculous comment?
Moreover, not only are you not refuting it, but you are also posting a bunch of approving comments!?
In short, this is how it is.
The uproar caused by Zeppeli's death.
At this moment, not only did it not affect the popularity of "Phantom Blood."
On the contrary, amidst the ongoing heated discussions, especially the continuous replies from White Snake and C-Moon.
It attracted more onlookers who hadn't yet watched "Phantom Blood" to try it out.
After all, just reading these replies.
Even Jolyne, who had a bias against "Phantom Blood," couldn't help but feel an urge to watch it again.
To see what kind of character embodies the beautiful qualities of humanity as described by C-Moon.
So...
"White Snake, and C-Moon... don't let me find out who you are. Or else... hehe!"
With fists clenched, making cracking sounds, Jolyne said with a cold smile.
She, Jolyne Cujoh.
Had never suffered such grievance in her life!
…
On the other side.
"Director Pucci, isn't this behavior of ours considered false advertising?"
Seeing Pucci create numerous small accounts, not only fanning flames in the comment section of "Phantom Blood," but also engaging in self-debate, having a great time.
Leaving messages unrelated to "Phantom Blood" to mislead those who hadn't watched it, or those who had watched but were completely fooled.
As a traditional director.
The first consideration is whether the audience will like his work because only then can he survive in this harsh industry.
After ensuring this, he then considers his own artistic pursuits. Shinbo Akiyuki.
He never imagined there was such an operation in this world?!
He thought he had failed commercially before because he reversed these primary needs.
Thus, he had to immerse himself in the animation world, researching these family-friendly action romance films to understand modern audience preferences, which was already quite outrageous.
Unexpectedly, there were even more outrageous people!?
Is this considered a crime?
Like spreading rumors...
"How can this be false advertising?" Pucci corrected. "Did we say anything?"
"Ah...?"
Shinbo Akiyuki was dumbfounded for a moment.
Then he looked at Pucci, then at Pucci's account still logged into the relevant forums, with a righteous face, shifting all responsibility.
"..."
He didn't say anything.
But everything seemed understood without words.
"Oh, you mean this."
Pucci calmly ignored his account, White Snake, still hanging on the forums. "Shinbo-san, it's not a crime if you're not caught."
"And as long as we don't admit it, who can say we posted those things?"
Didn't you just say something very dangerous?
But to be fair, that seems right...
Considering the effects of this approach.
And whether they could avoid responsibility if accidentally caught, Shinbo Akiyuki began reflecting on his actions.
And whether he should learn from Pucci's method of creating small accounts to promote his works.
Then he heard Pucci continue, "And who said the content I posted is fake?"
"Ah... isn't it!?"
Shinbo Akiyuki asked in surprise.
"Of course not!" Pucci said. "Although my initial idea was to use small accounts to divert the audience's attention from the sadness of Zeppeli's death back to 'Phantom Blood's' plot."
"But the momentum created by this small account seems quite good. Even the number of followers of this new account is increasing daily, not to mention the private messages."
Thinking of an account named "Mickey" that had been bombarding him with private messages lately, Pucci casually dismissed it. "Rather than being a one-time troublemaker, turning this small account into an 'insider' might be more beneficial."
Thus.
"The Eternal Legend of Blood, the Immortal Song of Courage. Regarding the subsequent plot of 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' and the speculation on the identities of the six characters who first appeared in the OP of 'Phantom Blood.'"
