Chapter 236
Even in real life outside the world of complete stealth, those viewers who have watched the new episode of "Diamonds Are Forever" are in conversations with their friends.
They all coincidentally, similar topics like this appeared——
Have you watched the new episode of Diamonds Are Forever?
...
They were all discussing the plot of "Diamonds Are Forever" which was broadcast not long ago.
After all, when the new episode of "Diamonds Are Forever" is played.
Who would have thought that the plot of "Diamonds Are Forever" could be like this! ?
Just like when the plot of "Diamond is Forever" was dominated by the invincible stand-in ability of "Loser Eats Dust", which can retrace time, the audience only felt despair for "Diamond is Forever".
And the Green Dolphin Studio, which personally created such a desperate ending, was deeply angry.
They never thought that [Loser Eats Dust] could be cracked like this! ?
It's not some deus ex machina.
Not relying on the same type of stand-in, he also realized the relevant time-based stand-in ability.
Instead, they simply relied on the inherent wisdom of human beings and the information they calmly detected through countless time retracements, thus "easily" breaking the fate that had once made them despair. Come on! ?
Is this really something humans can do? !
The audience watched Kawajiri Hayato do such a thing.
They also realized for the first time that the gap between people is probably even greater than the gap between people and dogs...
If we say [Loser Eats the Dust], it allows the audience to see the limits of what human wisdom can do.
Many viewers can only watch Kawajiri Hayato's performance with the mentality of watching from a distance and not being playful.
So what's next in "Diamonds Are Forever"?
The stand-in battle between Higashikata Josuke and Kira Yoshikage is much more approachable.
Although in this substitute battle, there is not no wisdom at all.
Regardless of Kira Yoshikage's use of Kira Yoshihiro's characteristics, he was able to track Higashikata Josuke with the air bombs he controlled.
It was Higashikata Josuke who developed the repair ability of [Crazy Diamond] into an automatic tracking bullet.
And in order to crack the opponent's tricks, they are constantly thinking about how to destroy the opponent's long-range attack methods.
It is good to block the resistance ability of the opponent who is also a close-range power substitute.
This another level of confrontation requires a certain level of IQ to play successfully.
But compared to "The Loser Eats the Dust", the audience could not even feel a sense of resistance, but a sense of despair.
The stand-in battle between Higashikata Josuke and Kira Yoshikage was really much friendlier.
Even the key to Higashikata Josuke's ability to turn defeat into victory was not wisdom.
In other words, it's not just wisdom.
But friendship, gentleness, persistence...these viewers also feel that they are noble qualities that they can possess!
Because of the friendship between Higashikata Josuke and Nijimura Okuyasu, and the gentleness and persistence of taking him away even so, the space was deflected at the last critical moment.
The decisive blow that made Kira Yoshikage confident, just deviated from the trajectory of his attack!
This is like Jonathan, who is the first generation JOJO, although he is perfect in all aspects.
But it's just too perfect.
On the contrary, it will only make the audience admire Jonathan as a person, but it will be difficult for them to put themselves into Jonathan.
After all, they are not so shameless and feel that they are as noble as Jonathan...
But if you switch to Joseph, the second generation JOJO, the situation will be different!
Even the golden spirit in Joseph shines brightly.
But as long as you have seen Joseph's routine operations like beating the police, locking and looking at his mother, etc. like a New York gangster, this dazzling spirit does not seem to be untouchable?
And doesn’t this sense of substitution just come here? !
In the same way, the plot of [Loser Eats Dust] is the same as the current stand-in battle.
This narrative mode firmly controls the audience's psychology.
How can we not let those new viewers who have experienced the amazing plot of "The Loser Eats Dust" once again see this battle full of substitutes, all transformed into "No"? Loyal viewers of "Destroy Diamond".
And spontaneously promote their favorite work, that is, "Diamonds Are Forever"?
"I see. Is this why Mr. Pucci made Jonathan's words - "The Joestar family have been gentlemen for generations" have an extra layer of meaning? "
Because I got new inspiration from "Diamonds Are Forever" not long ago.
So recently, in addition to watching the new episode of "Diamond is Forever" with Mushroom and the others, Gen Urobuchi has also started to be discussed by viewers who are paying attention to "Diamond is Forever".
He has clearly felt the change caused by the audience of "Diamond is Forever" from the recent change in reviews of "Diamond is Forever".
"No wonder Mushroom was so stubborn in trying to stop me when I wanted to create a total annihilation ending for "Fate/Zero". Even Mr. Pucci, who heard about it, unexpectedly tried to persuade me. I don’t want to do that.”
"So that's why."
Xu Yuanxuan sighed.
"Although the Bad End of total annihilation is great and very real, there are only a few people in this world who can appreciate this noble art."
"Even if excellent creators cannot be influenced by the mood of the audience, truly excellent creators will never complain about the environment."
"Leave some thoughts to the audience, through the fragile hope on the surface of the story, so that the audience can try to accept this essentially still Bad End story, and eventually gradually change the audience's cognition, and become someone like me who can appreciate this noble art..."
"This is the true meaning of a truly excellent creator!"
Urobuchi Gen has realized it again.
At the same time, he has refreshed his cognition of Mr. Pucci again.
Just like "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", this work that praises the noble qualities of human beings.
In this materialistic age, how can we say...
Refer to Liu Bei in the history of a certain Eastern country next door. In the history of more than a thousand years, nearly two thousand years, countless literati and scholars who can leave their names in history books, even those who once betrayed Ji Han, all gave him a benevolent and highest evaluation in history books, and even compared him to Emperor Gaozu.
As a result, a thousand years later, Liu Bei's benevolence, which was recognized by countless people, was directly denied, because people thought that human beings could not be so noble...
It's ridiculous.
It's also very sad.
At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Kujo Jolyne chose Puchi without thinking after seeing the script of "Phantom Blood" given by Puchi.
This kind of "nonsense" story work, it would be strange if it didn't lose money!
It's better to say that if Puchi hadn't found a lineup of almost all chosen actors for the filming of "Phantom Blood".
If the audience of "Phantom Blood" can be impressed by the acting skills of this group of chosen actors first, and then gradually attracted by the beauty of the story of "Phantom Blood" itself.
Perhaps the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series will not have so many viewers as it does now so quickly...
In theory, this is basically a success that is difficult to replicate.
But for Gen Urobuchi, who is also well-known in the industry, he knows it very well.
Since the emergence of "Phantom Blood", this kind of related works that praise the nobility of human beings, which were not originally favored by the industry, have gradually become a popular series.
And it's not just the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series that is the only one! ?
Gen Urobuchi didn't think there was anything wrong with this at the beginning.
He thought this was probably the traditional operation of the industry. As long as a type of work becomes popular, its imitators will inevitably appear.
But when he now recalls the creation history of "Diamond is Unbreakable" and even the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" series from this contrasting perspective, and the different changes between the generations of JOJO...
He truly understands the main reason for this change!
This is not just the traditional operation of the industry.
It is better to say that with the specialness of "Phantom Blood".
When even Liu Bei, a recognized benevolent monarch, is suspected of being a hypocrite.
Those industry insiders who want to reproduce "Phantom Blood", what price do they have to pay to achieve the same success as "Phantom Blood"?
They are not like Pucci, a time traveler, who can find a group of chosen actors who have not been discovered by the industry.
No matter how you look at it, it will be a loss of money, and the end of those who are like me will die.
How can it become like this, a popular series?
This is the reason.
Only Pucci has successfully gone against the will of heaven and used "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" to become the kind of excellent creator who can change the industry environment since he can't complain about the industry environment, can explain it!
The more Gen Urobuchi thought about it, the more he felt that Mr. Pucci's realm was too profound.
If Mr. Pucci hadn't suddenly reminded him of this, and "Diamond Is Unbreakable" had recently broadcast a similar plot, he might not have noticed this subtle change! ?
Then the question is.
As a screenwriter and creator, can he also reach such a realm in the future?
"Mushroom, can you tell me more about the story of the character [Weber Velvet] in "FATE"?
"?... Old Urobuchi, have you finally figured out not to kill Weber Night!?"
Hearing this, Mushroom looked at Gen Urobuchi with surprise.
To be honest, Mushroom was so persistent when he saw Gen Urobuchi's determination to kill Weber, or the Bad End of all the members.
If he didn't think it was too troublesome to change the settings.
And unlike Saber who only appeared a few times and Emiya Kiritsugu who died long ago, Waver played an extremely important role in the entire Type-Moon worldview he wrote.
He might have just given in to Gen Urobuchi.
Now it's all right.
Gen Urobuchi finally doesn't have to insist on his Bad End ending for all the members.
He doesn't have to worry about whether to change the setting.
"Well, I figured it out."
There was no special reaction to Mushroom calling him "Old Urobuchi".
Perhaps because Pucci always called him in such a strange way, not only others, but even he himself got used to this name. Gen Urobuchi said solemnly: "I was too superficial before."
"Even though I realized new possibilities from the plot of "Diamond is Unbreakable", my pursuit of stories was really shallow and scary. I thought that I only needed one great work to dominate the entire industry... It turned out to be a naive idea that only Chuunibyou would come up with."
Speaking of this, Gen Urobuchi used this self-deprecating way to slightly cover up the embarrassment in his heart.
After all, his previous behavior was more serious than he said.
Not only did he think that he could write a great work and dominate the entire industry with a great work.
He also felt that if the industry was not changed by him, it was definitely not his problem, but the problem of the entire industry...
Just recalling this memory, Gen Urobuchi couldn't help but want to find a time machine to travel back and kill the embarrassing self in the past! !
After all, it was like "Saya no Uta", which he thought was the best work in his creative career.
How are the sales of his works?
Although it can't be said to be terrible, it is still far from the sales of those popular works.
Even so, he still feels very proud.
He even had the idea of stopping writing at one point?
What is the difference between this and the worst kind of creators in his eyes?
Mushroom should have seen his mentality at the beginning, so he lent him a hand and introduced Mr. Pucci and "Diamond is Unbreakable" to him, so that he could find the direction that this excellent creator should move forward.
Thinking of this, Gen Urobuchi looked at Mushroom with gratitude.
Mushroom was stunned.
"If you can't change the industry environment, how can you be considered an excellent creator?"
