Chapter 38

That’s right, the character Jiao Enjun is playing this time is none other than the second arc’s boss, the Ultimate Lifeform, Kars!

This is quite a significant challenge for Jiao Enjun.

After all, he really hasn’t played many villains.

Most actors are quite satisfied with the roles they received; the only one who isn’t, I’m afraid, is...

"Ouch, Yuanyuan, stop it, stop it, stop it~"

Feeling a small hand pinching his ear, Xu Feng repeatedly pleaded.

The owner of this soft, jade-like hand is none other than one of Director Xu’s ex-girlfriends, the great beauty Gao Yuanyuan, who just recently played Yoruichi Shihouin in *Bleach*.

"What kind of role did you pick for me, you bastard? What do you mean by making me play a 50-year-old hag!?"

Gao Yuanyuan said, exasperated.

Yes, the role Xu Feng gave the great beauty is none other than JoJo’s mother, Lisa Lisa.

When she first saw the script, if Xu Feng hadn’t been away from her side...

Gao Yuanyuan definitely would have been unable to resist slapping him twice.

Do you have any idea how sensitive women over thirty are about their age?

And yet, Xu Feng actually asked her to play a 50-year-old hag.

This is undoubtedly dancing on a landmine for Gao Yuanyuan!

"Age isn’t the issue; this role requires someone who is absolutely beautiful, and the only person I could think of was you, Yuanyuan."

Xu Feng hurriedly took her soft hand to soothe her.

The requirements for the actress playing Lisa Lisa are that she must be a great beauty and also have a background in martial arts.

There aren’t many actresses in the industry who can satisfy both points.

After thinking it over, Xu Feng felt only Gao Yuanyuan was the most suitable.

Setting: 1938, New York, United States.

The opening of *Battle Tendency* is introduced through Smokey...

...leading into Joseph...

It also brings in the roles of characters from the previous arc, such as Erina and Speedwagon.

The actor playing Speedwagon in the second arc is Deng Chao, wearing old-age makeup.

As someone already approaching forty, he surprisingly didn’t look out of place at all after putting on the makeup.

The elderly Erina is played by Lady Sun.

"Hey, Grandma, was Old Man Speedwagon really just Grandpa’s best friend? Nothing more?"

In the taxi, Joseph blinked twice and turned his head to ask Erina.

Lady Sun, also wearing old-age makeup, raised an eyebrow and said:

"What are you trying to say?"

"Because, that old man has always been single, and you’ve always been a widow, Grandma, so I was wondering if your relationship was really that simple?"

Hearing this dialogue, the staff off-set couldn’t help but show expressions of suppressed laughter.

In less than ten minutes, everyone clearly felt the difference between *Battle Tendency* and *Phantom Blood*.

If nothing else, just the gap in the two protagonists’ personalities raised their perception of *Battle Tendency* by a notch.

Of course, it’s not that there was anything wrong with Jonathan himself.

But from the audience’s perspective...

...they just feel it isn’t interesting enough.

Take Master Jin’s characters as an example.

Guo Jing is a pretty good guy, right?

But why is his popularity not as high as his nephew Yang Guo’s?

It’s because his personality is too serious and not fun.

In reality, people would be very happy to befriend such a person, but in entertainment works, it seems a bit dull.

Finally, facing such suspicion from her grandson, Erina displayed the demeanor of an elder that she lacked when she was young, grabbing her personal lady’s umbrella and swatting her grandson with it.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was wrong! Grandma, forgive me!"

"Cut! That’s a wrap!"

Xu Feng, sitting behind the camera, shouted:

"Everyone take a break, we’ll continue in a bit."

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief and began to chat with each other.

"U-um, Director Xu, when I was outside just now, a foreigner asked me to give this to you."

At this moment, a girl with an exotic face like Fatty’s, but a completely different temperament, approached Xu Feng and gathered the courage to say.

"Huh?"

Xu Feng slightly raised his eyes and brows.

Guli Nazha, playing Suzi Q.

Originally, Xu Feng wanted Yang Mi to do it, but she is currently busy filming a drama called something like *Swords of Legends* with Fatty.

She didn’t have the schedule, so she didn’t come.

Besides, Xu Feng was also afraid that if she came, she would fight with Gao Yuanyuan.

After all, both of them are the type with extremely strong possessiveness.

The card Nazha handed over was a business card.

On it was written a private phone number.

But what really caught Xu Feng’s attention was the name on it—

Little Wilmont...

That evening, in California, United States, at the headquarters of the world’s largest subscription-based streaming platform company—Netflix.

Xu Feng met the founder of this company, a Fortune 500... uh, well, a Fortune 504 boss.

This position is a bit awkward, but it is definitely a height that 99.99% of people in the world cannot reach.

"Hello, very nice to meet you, Mr. Xu."

After meeting and shaking hands, Reed’s first sentence got straight to the point:

"We are very interested in your *Bleach*."

That’s right, the Netflix boss personally met with Xu Feng because he wanted to buy the overseas broadcasting rights for *Bleach*.

With the continuous rise of the Dragon Country’s economy in recent years, its international status has been increasing.

The whole world has also witnessed the terrifying purchasing power of this country with over a billion people.

The demands of the Dragon Country’s people are increasingly being valued by the international market.

To be precise, they have their eyes on the money in the Dragon Country market.

But it doesn’t matter; crows are black everywhere, and Xu Feng likes it too.

He isn’t Old Ma, pretending to be so cool that he dares to say bullshit like "I have no interest in money."

The foreigner who sent the business card was a staff member under Reed; he probably saw the newcomer Nazha standing with Xu Feng on set and mistook her for Xu Feng’s assistant or something.

So he found an opportunity to give her the card and asked her to pass it to Xu Feng.

According to Netflix’s investigation, in the Dragon Country market, if *Bleach*’s popularity is second, no one dares to claim first.

And although the copyright of *Bleach* is in Xu Feng’s hands...

...there are also many video editors online who, out of a desire to show off, edit some passionate or combat clips, add intense BGM, and upload them to foreign sites like YouTube.

This has also caused quite a stir.

This has allowed *Bleach* to slowly accumulate a certain number of fans on foreign sites.

Recently, Netflix has frequently received complaints from users demanding they buy the copyright for *Bleach*.

PS: Thank you all for your strong support; I’m adding a small update for everyone today.

I really like JOJO, but it feels like not many people on Feilu have watched it? Especially the first two parts.
