Chapter 227: The Man Who Wrote

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

Xu Feng's TV series are usually around twenty to thirty episodes long,

aired in a double-episode format on weekends.

Most TV series start at 40 episodes and adopt a daily update mode.

The competitive relationship is different from the film industry.

Plus, because it wasn't *Bleach*, quite a few TV series were indeed 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,

clicking into Penguin Video.

Of course, saying JoJo fans were few was only because the comparison group was *Bleach* fans.

If you really counted them, there weren't that few.

As early as before *Phantom Blood* aired, Penguin had bought the premiere rights to the JoJo series.

However, even now, Boss 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 just barely broken one billion recently.

The gap was too large.

But as soon as the visuals started, a massive wave of bullet comments invaded the entire playback page.

【I reject my humanity! JoJo!】

【Your next line is—"Marking this for later!"】

【WRYYYY!】

Quite a few JoJo fans had already started using memes in the bullet comments, but more were neutral viewers who hadn't watched 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 doesn't matter if you haven't watched the first two parts? I didn't watch them.】

【Xu Feng 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 trash 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 trawler at sea, several fishermen used a crane to haul up a coffin completely covered in barnacles from the ocean floor.

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

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

"Hurry up and open it and see!"

The fishermen thought they had struck gold, but when they reached out to open the coffin,

they paused slightly upon seeing the three letters on the lock.

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

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

Dio!?

Has that scumbag been resurrected?

But, but what method did he use?

Before the JoJo fans could think, the scene shifted to a "Flower" district with a strong Dragon Country flavor.

A large line of text appeared in the subtitles at the bottom—

1987, Dragon Country, Guangdong.

"Jotaro Kujo, 17 years old, 195 cm tall, father is a Dragon Country opera singer currently on a tour, mother is of British-Chinese descent from the Lighthouse Country, 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,

then glanced sideways at a haggard-looking foreign beauty next to him who had some crow's feet but was definitely still charming.

【Holy crap! Charlie!】

Many older viewers were startled, never expecting Xu Feng to be able to find this Hollywood super sex symbol from the 70s.

"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 "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.

The facts proved the effect was good; viewers felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the familiar Cantonese.

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

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

And the JoJo fans secretly sighed that it was worthy of being 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 and then explained:

"It's just that the other party, four thugs including a boxer, were all carrying knives and nunchucks; there were 15 fractures in total, 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 viewers didn't know what expression to make.

Holy crap, that's a bit fierce.

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 ordinary viewers find it funny while also being a bit confused.

They couldn't understand what was so special about these bullet comments, with so many people spamming the same sentence.

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

Immediately after, someone added, "Play is play, fun is fun, don't joke about Caesar." ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
