I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema!

The doubts and fears in their hearts caused by the laws of reality were completely shattered at this moment by a more primitive and more passionate impulse called "following the strong"!

"……Hi!!"

I don't know who was the first to shout out.

Immediately, the thunderous response merged into a torrent that was enough to shake the entire building!

"Hi!!"

"We understand, Chief!"

"Damn it! Damn it! I've never been this crazy in my life!"

All the hesitation on those faces has faded away, replaced by a high morale of going all out and fighting like no one else but me!

Even Kurosawa Eiji, a veteran industry leader, was deeply moved by the youthful energy and madness that washed over him.

He looked at the young man who was in charge of the strategy, and at the team whose passion was ignited by his words. His heart, which had long become silent due to the years, began to beat violently again uncontrollably.

He suddenly felt that perhaps he was really old.

But being able to witness and participate in this madness that is destined to go down in history during these final moments...

How lucky I am!

Thus, a filming frenzy that seemed almost miraculous to the outside world officially began.

The entire [Nohara Hiroshi Special Production Team] has become a wound-up precision machine that runs at an incredible speed.

In the morning, in Studio 5, "The Legend of Macchio".

In the afternoon, in shed No. 3, "Shuangliu Chess".

In the evening, in the post-production room, editing, dubbing and music are all done in one go.

Time seems to have lost its meaning in this crazy creation.

The boundary between day and night becomes blurred, and fatigue and excitement are intertwined.

From the breathtaking "Cabinet" in the fourth episode, to the bizarre "Elves in the Dark" in the fifth episode; from the Japanese horror-filled "New House" in the sixth episode, to the thought-provoking "Gift" in the tenth episode...

Then there's episode 11: "The Murderer Regrets," episode 13: "The Monkey's Paw," episode 17: "The Problem," episode 21: "The Inn Without Time," episode 28: "Live Crabs," episode 31: "Plastic Surgery," episode 36: "Human-Faced Grass," and the final episode, "Grandpa's Love Letter," filled with warmth and regret...

Thirty-nine bizarre and wonderful worlds are perfectly presented in front of the camera with the absolute blueprint of Nohara Hiroshi's memory and the localized polishing of the senior screenwriter Kudo Ryosuke.

They are no longer simple urban legends, but incorporate more profound analyses of this parallel neon world, about human hearts, human nature, family, workplace, and the repressed and distorted interpersonal relationships unique to neon society.

Each story is like a sharp scalpel, precisely cutting open this seemingly peaceful and prosperous society and tearing off its bright and beautiful appearance.

Revealing the creepy yet incredibly real flesh and veins underneath.

When the last shot of the 39th episode "Grandpa's Love Letter" was completed on the last day of June, the entire crew felt like soldiers who had experienced a long and arduous expedition and finally reached the end.

They didn't cheer.

They just collapsed quietly in various corners of the set, with a tired yet satisfied smile on their faces, as if they had survived a disaster.

'call--'

"Finally finished!"

At this time, Nohara Hiroshi also let out a long breath.

This month is for him.

It is also a huge test!

But looking at those thirty-nine master tapes, which condensed all his hard work and carried all his ambitions, he knew that he had won the bet.

Time has come to the end of June, and there are only a few days left before July 1st, the premiere day that decides life and death.

The entire Guandong faction became unprecedentedly united because of this unprecedented "great battle".

Or.

They united around Hiroshi Nohara.

Those artists who were once marginalized not only honed their acting skills but also earned real income by frequently appearing in this S-level project.

And those veterans of the Kanto faction were completely convinced by Nohara Hiroshi.

Because after the project ended, Hiroshi Nohara made a decision that no one expected.

He did not hand over or pocket the huge budget of tens of millions of yen that he had saved due to his super high efficiency. Instead, he distributed it in full to all the Kanto faction members who participated in the project in the name of 'overtime pay' and 'project bonuses'!

When those artists received the heavy envelope that far exceeded their expectations, the look in their eyes when they looked at Hiroshi Nohara was no longer just admiration.

It is an absolute loyalty that is enough to make them go through fire and water!

Who doesn’t love money?

They knew that by following this young section chief, they would not only have meat to eat, but also soup to drink!

This is the real one, our own!

The leader of the Kanto faction!

In the conference room of the production department building, Deputy Director Asumi, Kurosawa Eiji, Sato Kenji, Yamamoto Takeshi, and Nohara Hiroshi, the five people representing the core strength of the new and old generations of the Kanto faction, gathered together.

The atmosphere was more harmonious than ever before.

"Nohara-kun, you have really made an unprecedented contribution to our Kanto faction this time!" An unprecedented bright smile bloomed on Asumi's face, and the laughter was hearty and hearty.

"Yeah." Kurosawa Eiji also stroked his beard and sighed, "I've been making movies all my life, and I've never seen a director like you who can squeeze the potential of the entire team to the extreme. You, kid, are born for this."

Kurosawa Eiji has already shown the mother to Asumi.

That's why Asumi is so happy.

Others don't know.

After all, Asumi has been immersed in Kanto TV for more than 20 years. He has been promoted step by step from the grassroots to a leader. Even at Tokyo TV, he has been the deputy director of the production department with his excellent grassroots experience.

Therefore, Ming Rihai's vision and his level are both first-class.

And when Asumi watched the first episode of "The Wonderful World" for the first time, he knew that this work, which he had specifically asked Hiroshi Nohara to produce, was almost a political gamble.

He succeeded!

Then I watched it episode by episode until the last episode of "Wonderful Stories of the World", finishing the entire season of 39 episodes.

I was originally worried that shooting too quickly would result in reduced quality.

All disappeared!

Instead, I looked at the exquisite pictures, the clever dubbing, the precise camera switching, and the actors' near-perfect acting skills.

It made his heart sink into his stomach.

Only ecstasy comes to mind.

"you flatter me!"

Nohara Hiroshi simply smiled calmly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just happen to know the right path and how to go about it."

This is not modesty, it is the truth.

This is thanks to Neon in the previous life.

Chapter 79 Variety show "Super Change"! Nohara Hiroshi's wonderful ideas!

The smile on Asumi's face grew brighter. He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. The warm tea fragrance seemed to be tinged with the sweetness of victory.

"Nohara-kun, now that we've talked about the results, let's talk about the next...war." Asumi put down the teacup in his hand.

The atmosphere in the conference room quietly tightened.

Asumi tapped his knuckles lightly on the polished mahogany tabletop. "The higher-ups at the station have placed unprecedented hopes on 'The Wonderful World'. Therefore, we at the Kanto faction have received unprecedented resources for promotion."

"Starting next Monday, all of our flagship variety shows with ratings exceeding 10% will have a special promotional segment dedicated to you. At the same time, all our major partner magazines and newspapers will use front-page headlines to report on the latest work of our 'genius producer.'"

He paused, his eyes fell on Nohara Hiroshi's calm face, and his tone was tentative:

"Of course, to achieve the best publicity, they'll definitely repeatedly mention your identity as the father of 'Anzhiju', the originator of 'Urban Tales,' and the author of the popular manga 'Yu Yu Hakusho.' After all, these are your most dazzling and audience-attracting labels."

The conference room fell silent.

The expressions on the faces of Kurosawa Eiji, Sato Kenji and Yamamoto Takeshi, the three veterans of the Kanto school, all underwent subtle changes.

They were all old foxes who had been immersed in the world of fame and fortune of television for decades. Almost instantly, they smelled the lingering smell of gunpowder of power struggle behind these words.

Their eyes fell on Nohara Hiroshi at the same time, their brows slightly furrowed, and they seemed to sigh a little.

Because they all knew that Asumi hadn't finished speaking yet.

This is true.

"And..." Asumi's voice sounded again. This time, he did not beat around the bush, but put the matter directly on the table.

Asumi was also very frank:

"During the promotional process, they'll undoubtedly ask why you didn't continue with the third season of 'Anshiji Residence.' The official explanation from the station will be that you need to devote all your energy to the more important S-rated live-action drama 'The Wonderful World of Tales.' Therefore, we had to reluctantly hand over the production of 'Anshiji Residence' to our excellent colleagues like Section Chief Iwata."

"This not only clears you of any connection, allowing you to focus on your new work, but also...in a disguised way, it's an endorsement and promotion for Iwata and his team's season."

coming.

Kenji Sato and Takeshi Yamamoto looked at each other and saw a hint of suppressed anger in each other's eyes.

This tactic is really too insidious!

It's clearly the Tokyo faction that's squeezing every last bit of surplus value out of Nohara Hiroshi!

They want to use the empire built by Nohara Hiroshi himself to cheer for their usurpation of the throne!

They want Nohara Hiroshi, the real "father", to admit in person that the "child" they took away is living a good life now!

No, the external statement was not "stolen" by them.

But it was Nohara Hiroshi, the 'father'...

'Send' away!

If the third season of "An Shibaju" is successful, it is because of the good leadership of their Tokyo faction and the outstanding ability of Masao Iwata.

If you fail... that's okay too.
