Chapter 111

This show was a collaboration between Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, and Peng Yuyan.

Although it wouldn't be accurate to describe it as "star-studded," it wasn't far off.

After all, the trio of leads were basically all A-listers.

[Sosuke Aizen] Xu Feng: "It doesn't matter, let's just release them together and have some fun."

Seeing this message, Hu Ge immediately put on a mask of pain.

He personally felt this show was okay, but facing Xu Feng... Old Hu had the feeling of having just finished the beginner's quest and running into a LV999 boss right outside the village.

A month later, with the attention of numerous fanatical JoJo fans, and even more "Bleach" and "Death Note" fans watching with a "pass the popcorn" attitude.

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders" was released!

At the same time, another highly anticipated period drama was released.

The period drama "Sound of the Desert," a collaboration between Tang Ren's top brother and sister, Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, and the entertainment industry's number one self-disciplined man, Peng Yuyan, was released!

When they heard this news.

The fans of these three people had inexplicably complicated feelings.

They wondered if Tang Ren had lost its mind.

Daring to release a show at the same time as Xu Feng's?

"They probably saw it wasn't 'Bleach,' so they thought they could try to ride his coattails."

Da Mimi said, hitting the nail on the head.

Actually, you couldn't say that Tang Ren Film and Cai Yinong had lost their minds.

Xu Feng's TV shows were generally around twenty to thirty episodes long.

Broadcast in a format of two episodes per weekend.

While most TV shows started at 40 episodes and adopted a daily update model.

The competitive relationship was different from that of the film industry.

Plus, because it wasn't "Bleach," there were indeed quite a few TV shows released during this period.

On the weekend, a small number of JoJo fans, a large number of "Bleach" fans, and new fans drawn in by "Death Note" sat in front of their computers or picked up their phones.

They clicked into Penguin Video.

Of course, saying there were few JoJo fans was only because they were being compared to "Bleach" fans.

If you really counted them up, there wouldn't be that few.

Long before the release of "Phantom Blood," Penguin had already bought the premiere rights to the JoJo series.

However, even now, Pony Ma still felt that spending so much money to buy this series was a huge loss.

At least compared to "Bleach."

One had long since reached ten billion views, while the other had only recently barely broken one billion.

The gap was too large.

But as soon as the screen started, a massive amount of bullet comments occupied the entire playback page.

[I reject my humanity! JoJo!]

[Your next line is—"Fire tongs, Liu Ming!"]

[WRYYYY!]

Quite a few JoJo fans had already started using memes in the bullet comments, but more were neutral viewers who hadn't seen it before.

[What are these people saying? I don't understand.]

[I suggest you cram the first two parts of the JoJo series.]

31

[Didn't Xu Zhanan say it wouldn't affect anything if I hadn't seen the first two parts? I didn't watch them.]

[Xu Feng, that guy, is putting aside the popular third season of "Bleach" and the second half of "Death Note" to film this thing; I want to see what kind of thing he's filmed.]

[+1, if this is a bad show, I'll lead the charge.]

[Holy crap, there are actually people who doubt Xu Feng's talent?]

The first episode didn't even have an opening theme.

On a fishing boat at sea, several fishermen used a hoist to pull up a coffin completely covered in barnacles from the ocean.

"We're rich, we're rich! Could it be pirate treasure?"

"It's so heavy! Could there be gold or gems or something inside?"

"Hurry up and open it and see!"

The fishermen thought they had found treasure, but when they reached out to open the coffin.

They were slightly stunned when they saw the three letters on the lock.

D... I... O...

And the few JoJo fans who had seen the first part felt their hearts tighten.

Dio!?

Has that piece of trash been resurrected?

But, but how on earth did he do it?

Before the JoJo fans could think, the scene shifted to the very Chinese-flavored area.

A large line of text was written on the subtitle at the bottom—

1987, China, Guangdong.

"Jotaro Kujo, 17 years old, 195 cm tall, father is a Chinese opera performer currently on tour, mother is a lighthouse-born person of British-Chinese descent, is that correct?"

The scene finally settled in a police station, where an officer held a clipboard and read out the personal information with a thick Cantonese accent.

He glanced at a haggard-looking foreign beauty next to him, who had a few crow's feet but was definitely still charming.

[Holy crap! Charlie!]

Many older viewers were startled, completely not expecting Xu Feng to be able to find this 70s Hollywood super sex symbol.

"Yes, Jotaro is my son."

"The students put the 'Jo' from Kujo and the 'Jo' from Jotaro together, so they call him JoJo, right? Haha!"

At this moment, another officer walked up and chuckled.

The pronunciation of "Jo" isn't used in Mandarin.

But the Cantonese pronunciation is very similar, which is why Xu Feng set the Kujo family in the Guangdong region.

It turned out the effect was quite good, and the audience felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the familiar Cantonese accent.

"Then, then... how many people did Jotaro kill? Ah! I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"

Seeing this middle-aged Hollywood goddess acting cute, many viewers couldn't help but chuckle.

And the JoJo fans sighed inwardly, as expected of the child of Joseph and Suzi Q.

Perfectly blending the personalities of both parents.

"I say... ma'am, who told you he killed anyone? It was just a brawl."

The two officers were quite speechless, then explained:

"It's just that the other four thugs, including a boxer, were all carrying knives and nunchucks and other lethal weapons, resulting in a total of 15 fractures, and he even crushed the guy's... oh, sorry, anyway, they've all been sent to the hospital."

When they heard the officer say this, the audience didn't know what kind of expression to make for a moment.

Holy crap, this is a bit intense.

And when the officer said "he even crushed the guy's...", many people burst out laughing.

At the same time, the bullet comments were filled with "The—guy's—!!!"

Making the general audience feel amused while also being a bit confused.

They didn't understand what was so special about this bullet comment, with so many people spamming the same sentence.

Fortunately, someone immediately used the bullet comments to explain that this was a meme from the second part of JoJo.

Immediately, someone else added, "Play is play, joking is joking, don't joke about Caesar."
