I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema!

"Oh! That's great! It's really great!"

A bright smile of relief instantly appeared on Takada Toshihide's gloomy face.

He walked quickly to Nohara Hiroshi and held his hands tightly with both of his hands. His gesture was so intimate as if Nohara Hiroshi was his most beloved subordinate.

"Mr. Nohara! You are truly a pillar of our Tokyo TV! You are responsible and have a vision!"

While shaking Nohara Hiroshi's hand, he turned around and scolded Iwata Masao, who was still kneeling on the ground:

"Look at you! Look at Mr. Nohara! And then look at you! You're already so old, but you're living like a dog! You can't even compare to the breadth of mind of a young man in his early twenties! Why don't you thank Mr. Nohara right away!"

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Mr. Nohara! Thank you, Mr. Nohara!"

Masao Iwata felt as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed heavily to Hiroshi Nohara several times again, then used his hands and feet to crawl up in a panic, and stood behind Toshihide Takada with a lowered head.

That posture was like a pug that had just been severely punished by its owner, but did not dare to complain at all.

After exchanging a few hypocritical pleasantries, Takada Toshihide and Iwata Masao fled from the suffocating office, almost fleeing in panic, saying they "did not disturb you all from discussing important matters."

When the office door closed again, the depressing atmosphere instantly disappeared.

"Hahahahaha!"

Asumi was the first to burst out laughing, his laughter filled with the joy of being proud and proud. "Didn't you see it? This morning at the board meeting, that old fox Takada got pointed at and scolded by the director for a full half hour! His face was as black as the bottom of a pot!"

"And those audience complaint letters are said to have filled up three storage rooms! They have everything in there, from razor blades to tortoises. One even went so far as to send a printed resignation letter, specifically asking Masao Iwata to sign and get out!"

"Now, everyone on Tokyo TV, from top to bottom, knows that he's from the Tokyo Clique. He's made a huge fool of himself! Now, I wonder if they still have the nerve to act so arrogantly in the production department!"

Nohara Hiroshi just smiled calmly, picked up the cup of tea that had already gone cold, and said calmly: "They asked for this."

"That's right! They asked for it!"

Asumi's laughter faded. He looked at Nohara Hiroshi, his eyes, always as deep as ancient wells, gleaming with an unprecedented admiration and trust. "But, Hiroshi-kun, by taking over 'Anzhiju' this time, are you...really confident that you can restore its reputation?"

"Of course." Nohara Hiroshi nodded, his eyes confident and calm.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ming Hai was completely relieved. He sat back on the sofa with a relaxed smile on his face. "By the way, what are your thoughts on the manpower for this project? Do you need to transfer people from other classrooms? If so, please let me know."

"We do have enough manpower," Nohara Hiroshi shook his head. Then, as if remembering something, he casually said, "However, Deputy Director Asumi, regarding the punishment for Senior Hashijita Ichiro... can I make a small request?"

"Hashiichi Ichiro?" Asumi's brows furrowed instantly, a cold look of disgust emerging from his face, which had just been smiling. "That traitor? I heard the Personnel Department has decided to transfer him back to the logistics department of Kanto Station as a data clerk. What? You still want to plead for him?"

"It's not really a plea," Nohara Hiroshi's tone remained calm. "It's just that, for the sake of Seito Suzuki-senpai, I want to give him another chance. And, to be fair, while Hashimoto-senpai's character isn't great, his execution ability is truly top-notch among Level 4 directors. Letting him take charge of the reboot of 'Anshijiu' will, at least in terms of the process, save me a lot of trouble."

"The most important thing is," Nohara Hiroshi's lips curled up meaningfully. "A chess piece abandoned by everyone, but retrieved by me, also represents the broad-mindedness of our Kanto faction!"

Asumi looked at his eyes that seemed to see through everything, was silent for a moment, and finally, let out a long breath.

"Okay." He nodded, his tone filled with a kind of indulgent helplessness: "Now that you've said that, what else can I say? I'll go say hello to the Personnel Department. I'll give you this favor."

"However, regarding the sequel of "Dark Zhiju", do you have any specific ideas?" Asumi brought the topic back on track.

That's what he cares about most.

"It's very simple." Hiroshi Nohara leaned back in his chair, his posture like a chess player who had already made up his mind.

"Since the third season of 'Anshiji' has been 'made' into a piece of garbage that no one can ignore by Section Chief Iwata and his team, we should just treat it as a piece of black history that never existed."

He paused, and under those curious gazes, he slowly announced his long-planned plan.

"We will directly restart the production of the third season of "Anzhiju"!"

"Restart "An Zhi Ju Season 3"? " Asumi was surprised.

"Yes." Nohara Hiroshi nodded and said, "I will use the fastest time, today and tomorrow, to produce all the drawings, and then put them online here on Monday. That way, "Anzhiju Season 3" can still make up for the lost reputation."

"So fast?!" Asumi widened his eyes.

Although this was not the first time he was shocked by Nohara Hiroshi, he was still quite shocked now.

"Well, believe me, Deputy Director Asumi." Nohara Hiroshi smiled confidently, "This isn't a big problem. Even if we rush it, I believe it can be much better than the first and second seasons."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss." Asumi took a breath.

This is too exaggerated.

But it is not an exaggeration for Hiroshi Nohara.

The real third season of the previous life, which had mediocre reputation but was at least up to standard, was used to cover up the mess left by Iwata's classroom.

First, use an attitude of "setting things right" to win back those old fans who were heartbroken.

Then, after word of mouth improves slightly, we will immediately launch the fourth and fifth seasons, which will truly bring the "Dark Zhiju" IP back to its peak.

This will completely restore the reputation of "Anzhiju".

It has become the popular IP of its previous life again.

He knew that in the fourth season of his previous life, more screenwriters were introduced, brainstorming was done, and the quality of the story had made a qualitative leap.

The fifth season, while deepening the core of "urban horror stories", added more analysis of the dark side of human nature, raising the purpose of the entire series to a whole new level.

It will definitely succeed.

By then, with the rectification of his rebellion and his rescue of his master in times of crisis, the authority of his "Anzhiju" will be established.

Even if the show starts from the sixth season and becomes similar to the third season, its reputation will gradually decline.

But that was not what he thought at that time.

I will leave the production to Hashimoto Ichiro and others, and I will just be a supervisor and original author. Even if they criticize me, they can't blame me.

And with the third season of Iwata's version here, readers certainly won't dare to ask for a cast change.

Plus, "Wonderful Stories of the World" is here season after season.

A two-pronged approach.

In the field of 'urban ghost stories', Nohara Hiroshi can definitely keep it firmly under his control!

This is his real trump card!

Chapter 91 restarts "An Zhi Ju Zhen Season "! The audience is looking forward to it!

"Okay...Okay! I'll do as you say!"

Asumi made the decision without hesitation: "In the personnel department, I will immediately reinstate Hashiichi Ichirō. I will also approve the restart of the third season of 'Anzhiju'! Budget, personnel, equipment, you... just name it!"

He paused, looking at the young man who was still smiling calmly, a bitter look of both laughter and tears appeared on his face.

"But, Guangzhi-kun, can we talk about your... 'Super Change' variety show project... after you're done with this? My heart can't take your constant bombardment."

"Of course." Nohara Hiroshi nodded with a smile: "I will follow the deputy director's arrangements."

He now likes Deputy Director Ming Rihai more and more.

Think about it too.

No wonder Deputy Director Asumi was suppressed even after coming to Tokyo TV from Kanto TV, and was unable to effectively use his power to help his old brothers from the Kanto faction.

However, the people of the Kanto faction still surrounded Asumi and operated according to his orders and instructions.

Quite trustful.

The reason is that Ming Rihai's personal charm and leadership charm are indeed admirable.

Even Nohara Hiroshi fell in love with his leader Asumi.

……

In the second week of July, Tokyo, and even the entire Neon, seemed to be enveloped by a hurricane called "Nohara Hiroshi".

The ratings of "Wonderful Stories of the World" are like an ancient beast that has broken free from all constraints. It continues to and steadily stays at the 21% level with an almost brutal attitude, a terrifyingly high level that is enough to suffocate all competitors.

This is no longer just a matter of ratings.

It's really a cultural phenomenon.

A nationwide carnival that quickly penetrated every pore of Japanese society in just two weeks.

The entertainment sections of major newspapers use the most exaggerated headlines almost every day to report on this ratings miracle created by a young man.

Tokyo Film and Television News: "From 20.3% to 21.95%! 'The Wonderful World of Tales' ratings skyrocketed, officially crowning the second-highest-rated drama!"

The senior film critic of the Yomiuri Shimbun, "Pen Dao Ke", was even more generous in his praise:

"...I've been a film critic for 30 years and have seen countless films. But never has a film kept me glued to the TV for two weeks straight like 'Wonderful Stories of the World,' like a child discovering the world of images for the first time, shaken by the bizarre stories and unable to sleep."

"The most terrifying thing about it isn't the jaw-dropping twists or the cinematic production. It's the way it uses scalpel-like precision to dissect our seemingly peaceful and prosperous modern society, revealing beneath its glamorous facade the incredibly real souls of individuals filled with loneliness, desire, jealousy, and fear."

"It's like a mirror, in which each of us can see our own reflection, whether distorted, struggling, pathetic, or ridiculous. This is no longer a simple TV series; it's a Ukiyo-e that belongs to our time."

Of course, if there is praise, there must also be another voice.

However, this time, the voice was no longer a questioning one, but a kind of complaint that turned from love to hate.

The reader letters section of Weekly Modern was almost overwhelmed by a flood of letters, and the themes of these letters were surprisingly consistent.

"—Hello, respected Mr. Hiroshi Nohara. First of all, please allow me to express my sincerest respect for you. 'The Wonderful World' is the greatest television series I've ever seen, bar none. However, as a loyal fan who has followed you since the first season of 'Anshiba', I still want to ask, can you... really bear to watch 'Anshiba', which has been ruined beyond recognition by the likes of Iwata Masao, sink into oblivion?"

"——We know you're very busy right now. But we also know that you are the only 'father' of 'Anzhiju'! Please, save that child! We don't want to see that weird Onmyoji and that evil ghost who looks like a comedian anymore! What we want to see is that masked Kameshigai uncle and those real urban ghost stories that would make us afraid to go to the bathroom alone at night!"

This wave of petitions to "save "Anzhiju"" spontaneously launched by the audience has become increasingly intense with the help of the media.

For a time, "Nohara Hiroshi saves "Anshibi"!" became a slogan.

As a result, Tokyo TV's audience service hotline was once again overwhelmed.

And those petition letters, like snowflakes, piled up directly from the storage room all the way to the door of the office of Nobuhiko Sakata, director of the Production Bureau.

Faced with this surging public opinion, the top management of Tokyo TV finally could no longer sit still.

……

So, after a while, Tokyo TV and its major cooperating newspaper media simultaneously published a piece of breaking news that was enough to make all the fans of "An Zhiju" crazy.

[The creator of "An Shibaju," Nohara Hiroshi, has officially announced the restart of "An Shibaju" Season 3, in response to popular requests from viewers! The true urban tale is returning!]

This news was like a depth bomb that detonated the entire fish pond.

The Internet was instantly in an uproar.

"Ohhhhhhh! My 'Anzhiju' is back!"
