I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema!

"Ugh……"

Ming Hai looked at his calm and composed appearance, and finally let out a long breath and waved his hand dejectedly.

"Forget it, I can't tell you anything."

He rubbed his temples, which were swollen from staying up late for so long. His voice was filled with the helpless indulgence of an elder towards his junior.

"But, Guangzhi-kun, let me be frank. Your health is very important. From today on, I will arrange for a medical team to be on call for you 24 hours a day. Your diet, sleep schedule, and daily routine must strictly follow their instructions! This is an order! Do not refuse!"

"...Hi." Nohara Hiroshi looked at Asumi's face, which was full of "If you dare to refuse, I will die in front of you", and finally nodded helplessly.

He knew that this was the most sincere concern that the elder could show him.

……

When Nohara Hiroshi's tall and calm figure disappeared at the office door, Asumi seemed to be exhausted, and his whole body sank heavily into the soft leather chair.

He looked at the sky outside the window that was dyed golden by the setting sun, and a bitter expression of both laughter and tears appeared on his elegant face.

"Monster... a true monster..."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with the bone-deep powerlessness and... a kind of immense pride that came with being crushed by absolute strength.

He knew that perhaps the best thing he had ever done in his life was to go against all odds and promote that young man, who was only a fourth-level director, from Suzuki Seito's small classroom.

Now, the seed he planted with his own hands has grown into a towering tree that is strong enough to shelter the entire Kanto faction, and even... strong enough to change the power structure of the entire Tokyo TV station.

And he, Ming Rihai, will be the most steadfast guardian under this big tree.

He slowly picked up the red intercom phone on the table, and a hint of unquestionable determination flashed in his eyes, which always sparkled with shrewdness.

"Hello, is this Dr. Watanabe? It's me, Asumi."

"Yes, about the thing I mentioned to you last time, it can be started now."

"money is not a problem."

"Yes, that young man. From today on, his health is the most important strategic asset for our entire Kanto faction."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the gradually sinking dusk outside the window, and a smile full of confidence, like that of an old fox, finally bloomed on his elegant face again.

He knew that the fire named "Nohara Hiroshi" that he had ignited with his own hands had just begun.

What he has to do is to constantly add the best firewood to this raging fire, enough to burn out all the rules of the old era.

……

Wait for Hiroshi Nohara to return to his special production department.

"minister!"

There was a knock on the office door, and Kei Tanaka's face, full of excitement and anxiety, poked its head in, holding a thick stack of documents in his hands.

"The representative teams from the eight major competition areas across the country have arrived in Tokyo! These are the performance ideas they submitted... I've seen them, and most of them have very local characteristics, but..." Kei Tanaka's voice was a little hesitant.

The so-called "local characteristics" can be translated as - a bit rustic.

This was also mentioned in the previous meeting.

These amateurs...

Actually, I don’t really have any good acting skills.

"What's the hurry?" Nohara Hiroshi just smiled, took out an ordinary notebook from the drawer and threw it over.

"Take a look at these." His voice was calm and composed. "These are some random ideas I came up with. Let them consider them. If they're good, use them. If they're not, just use them as a way to broaden your horizons."

"This..." Tanaka Kei took it subconsciously, but his heart skipped a beat.

Just a random thought?

He opened the first page with the trepidation of a pilgrim.

Then, his pupils suddenly shrank!

What is written on it are not "ideas" at all, but rather complete and outrageous god-level creations full of fantastic ideas!

From using the human body to simulate "washing machine spin drying" to using lighted white cloth to present "ghosts walking at night"... every creative idea is ten times more exquisite, interesting and advanced than what those teams have racked their brains to come up with!

Kei Tanaka felt like his breathing had stopped.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Nohara Hiroshi, who was still calm and composed. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Minister, could it be that you had already thought of this step from the beginning?!"

But even though it was a question, what emerged in Kei Tanaka's eyes was admiration for Hiroshi Nohara.

Now everyone knows that Hiroshi Nohara is a monster.

Is it a strategic-level brain?

Now seeing Nohara Hiroshi's nonchalant look, he knew and was certain that this was the strategic move that Nohara Hiroshi had thought of and prepared in advance!

Chapter 128! National Variety Show "Super Change Season "!

Over the next few days, Tokyo TV's Studio 3, a huge auditorium that had been forgotten for years, became a pilgrimage site filled with wonder and awe.

The representative teams from Japan's eight major regions, those ordinary people full of rural flavor who stood out from hundreds of thousands of auditions, stepped into this dream hall that they had only seen on TV for the first time.

Many of them bring simple and creative ideas full of life wisdom, but it is difficult to conceal the clumsiness and roughness that belong to amateurs.

However, a draw full of fate and chance completely changed everything.

Following Nohara Hiroshi's instructions, Kei Tanaka broke down those god-level ideas into independent elements, wrote them on slips of paper, and put them into a seemingly ordinary lottery box.

Then, like the most fair dealer, he smiled and watched the temporary assistants of the representative teams step forward one by one and draw their destiny from the box full of unknowns and possibilities.

"…'Human-shaped washing machine'? What is this?"

"'Ghosts Walking at Night'... Oh my god, this idea is absolutely amazing!"

"'The Ramen Master's Wrath'...Hahahaha! This is so interesting! Why didn't we think of that?!"

When those seemingly random ideas were distributed to each team, the entire backstage was instantly overwhelmed by an irrepressible burst of exclamations and praises!

Those contestants who were originally complacent about their own "cleverness", after seeing these god-level creations that were enough to subvert all their cognitions, their pride as ordinary people was instantly crushed to pieces!

They looked at the thin piece of paper in their hands, and their eyes were like a group of mortals who had groped in the darkness for half their lives, and for the first time, they glimpsed the light of God's wisdom!

So, in the following recording, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred.

Those amateur performances that were originally full of uncertainty, under the blessing of Nohara Hiroshi's already designed, flawless creative script, burst out with an unprecedented and amazing energy!

The recording went smoother than ever before.

When the last set of performances ended, Kei Tanaka looked at the perfect pictures on the monitor that were full of imagination and pure joy. His heart, which had long been filled with shock, began to beat violently uncontrollably.

He knew that a huge storm that was enough to overturn the rules of the entire Japanese television industry had been manipulated by a pair of big hands.

……

The first Saturday in September, 2:25 p.m.

The neon lights under the entire starry sky seemed to have been paused at this moment.

From Sapporo in Hokkaido, where the snow has just melted, to Naha in Okinawa, where the coconut breezes and the sea breezes are charming; from the bustling and bustling Ginza in Tokyo, to Shinsaibashi in Osaka, full of the hustle and bustle of the city...

Countless pairs of eyes, as if drawn by an invisible gravitational force, simultaneously focused on the tiny glowing square box that was about to stage an unprecedented carnival.

【Nohara Hiroshi·Independent Production Department】.

In the huge office, the air seemed to be sucked out, solidifying into a heavy and cold piece of amber.

Kei Tanaka and his reborn team sat upright, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement and anxiety.

Behind them, in the minister's office overlooking the whole of Tokyo, Asumi and Takada Toshihide, the two second-in-command from different factions, were sitting on the leather sofa that symbolized power together with Nobuhiko Sakata, the head of the production department, for the first time.

In front of the three of them was also placed a huge Sony TV. The dark screen was like a door leading to an unknown abyss, reflecting their three faces, each with their own thoughts.

There was a cold and sarcastic look on Takada Toshihide's face, as if he was enjoying the show.

There was a hint of gambler's madness in Ming Hai's eyes that he himself had not even noticed.

Only Nobuhiko Sakata, with his always smiling face, showed no emotion, but in his occasionally narrowed eyes, there flashed the unfathomable brilliance of the final judge.

Arrived on time at 2:30.

That brainwashing melody full of childishness and magic resounded through the sky again!

The first episode of the second season of "Super Change" is officially on air!

Without any delay, after the host's friendly opening remarks, the first performance, from the Hokkaido Sapporo team, exploded in a shocking manner!

It is a creative work full of ice, snow and fantasy - "The Snow Girl's First Love".

On a stage where simple white sheets and dry ice create the effect of a blizzard, a girl in traditional kimono, through body language, portrays the tragic and beautiful love story of a snow woman who falls in love with a human...

The whole neon was quiet.

The cultural resonance that originated from folk legends and is unique to Japanese people, like a pair of invisible hands, instantly strangled the throats of all the audience.

However, this is not the end.

Then came "Hakata Ramen War" from Fukuoka, "Ninja Duel on the Castle Tower" from Nagoya, and "Prayer" from Hiroshima...

Each performance is full of regional characteristics, but is elevated to a new artistic height by Nohara Hiroshi's divine creativity. It is like a never-ending tsunami full of imagination, with one wave higher than the other, crashing against the defenses of all the audience!

The whole neon is crazy!

They never imagined that a variety show could be... so magnificent!

……

"Here it comes! Here it comes! The fifteen-minute ratings are out!"

At the Tokyo TV station's data monitoring center, a young data analyst looked at the red curve on the computer screen that seemed to have broken free from all constraints and soared wildly at an almost vertical angle, his voice filled with trembling disbelief!

Then he asked the staff at the back to start making phone calls one by one to notify them.

'Jingle Bell--'

The phone was picked up.

In Nohara's classroom, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Kei Tanaka's heart instantly rose to his throat.

In Nobuhiko Sakata's office, the sarcasm on Takada Toshihide's face froze instantly.
