I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema

Chapter 52: Promoted to Level Director
Top floor, deputy director's office.

The door that was always as heavy as the embodiment of power was now filled with a dead silence.

Takada Toshihide did not get angry, and he even lost the suppressed gloom of the past few days.

He just sat quietly behind the huge desk, holding a cup of cold coffee in his hand, looking out the window at the city skyline that he once thought was under his control.

His eyes were somewhat empty.

Masao Iwata stood stiffly by the side like a soulless wax figure, even his breathing seemed cautious.

He didn't dare look at Takada Toshihide's face.

Because he knew that beneath that unusual calmness was a true rage that was enough to burn him to ashes.

It wasn't until a long time later that Takada Shunei slowly spoke, his voice as hoarse as if it had been polished by sandpaper: "I heard that Asumi went to the Human Resources Department in person this morning."

Iwata Masao's body trembled suddenly.

"He formally submitted an application for... exceptional promotion to the station, citing the reason of 'discovering and nurturing a talented newcomer who created a ratings legend.'"

The corner of Takada Shunying's mouth curled up in an extremely sarcastic arc, and in that smile, there was a kind of cold self-mockery after being humiliated in public.

"He wants that intern named Nohara Hiroshi to skip all the formalities and be promoted to a Level 4 Director. He's also going to establish an independent special production team named after him, specifically responsible for 'urban ghost story'-type projects."

boom!
It was as if something exploded in Masao Iwata's mind.

He looked up in astonishment, his face filled with even more disbelief than when he heard the number 8.12%.

Independent production team?
Named after an intern?
This... this is no longer a simple promotion, this is creating a god!

It was Asumi who announced to everyone in the most direct and brutal way that he had found the sharpest weapon that could overturn the power structure of the entire production bureau!
"I...we can't let him succeed!" There was despair in Masao Iwata's voice, a wail after all hope had been completely taken away.

"late."

Takada Toshihide slowly leaned back in his leather boss chair. His eyes, which always sparkled with shrewdness and calculation, now revealed a hint of real fatigue for the first time.

"More than half of the board members have been convinced by the 8.12% figure.

They don't care about factional struggles; they only care about who can bring profit to the TV station and create the next legend."

He closed his eyes, like an idol in a shrine after all the incense had burned out, leaving only a cold stone body.

"Iwata, please go out first. I want to be alone...

……

In Suzuki's classroom, the roar of victory finally settled into a deeper joy under the passage of time.

At this time, Hiroshi Nohara was in his own personal lounge, which was also his office, as if he was oblivious to all the glory and turmoil in the outside world.

A brand new drawing was spread out in front of him.

There are no longer the passionate battles in "Yu Yu Hakusho" or the weird lines in "An Zhiju".

Instead, it was a five-year-old boy wearing a yellow shirt, red shorts, a flat head, and two thick, somewhat funny eyebrows.

He was grinning, showing his white teeth, and laughing heartily.

Nohara Hiroshi's pen tip gently touched the boy's face, as if touching a long-lost, warm dream belonging to another world.

"Shin-chan." A smile appeared on Nohara Hiroshi's lips.

He fell in love with this world.

"Dangdangdang——"

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

Suzuki Seito walked in, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a well-tailored suit and with an elegant face.

It's the Sea of ​​Tomorrow.

"Deputy Director!"

The office instantly became quiet, and everyone subconsciously stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Yeah." Ming Hai responded softly, then his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on the young man in the corner who was reminded in advance and called out from the office.

He didn't put on any airs of a deputy director; instead, he walked straight up to Hiroshi Nohara with a gentle smile. "Nohara-kun," he said, his voice filled with genuine appreciation, "I've come here today to formally, in front of everyone, express my gratitude to you for discovering such a treasure as you for our Tokyo TV."

He even bowed his head slightly to show his respect.

"Thank you for your appreciation! Deputy Director Ming Rihai!"

Hiroshi Nohara bowed and bent over, without any error in etiquette, as the other party did not bow to express gratitude to him.

Neon attaches great importance to etiquette, seniority and class.

Nohara Hiroshi still understands this.

"very good."

When Ming Hai heard this, the smile on his face became even wider.

He looked at the drawing of Crayon Shin-chan on Nohara Hiroshi's desk, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

But a hint of curiosity also emerged.

He knew that a true genius always had his own world, unknown to outsiders.

He took out a document from his pocket and gently placed it in front of Hiroshi Nohara.

"This is the resolution the station just passed." His voice was quiet, but it reached everyone clearly. "From today on, you, Hiroshi Nohara, will be officially promoted to Level 4 Director in the Tokyo TV Production Department. At the same time, the 'Hiroshi Nohara Special Production Team' will be established, specifically responsible for the planning and production of 'urban tales' and related innovative themes. You will have full authority over the personnel and budget, and you will report to me when the time comes."

He paused, his deep eyes, as if looking at an uncut jade, flashing with unprecedented brilliance.

"Nohara-kun, the future of this TV station may be in your hands."

Asumi said this very sincerely.

"applaud!"

At this time, Suzuki Seito, the section chief, directly reminded the classmates around him, and then he also applauded vigorously.

“Huahuahuahuahuahua——”

Then, whether it was Minamimura Hoshi, Hase Jizo, Kitagawa Yao, the two newly joined production staff, and Hashiichi Ichiro, all applauded vigorously.

Everyone's face flushed with excitement, and their hands clapped so hard that they turned red in a short period of time.

They are so excited!

The Tokyo TV production department has had people who quickly jumped from assistant to fourth-level director.

But those people, without exception, are all famous directors from the Tokyo TV production department!
Now, Nohara Hiroshi has actually achieved this.

It's predictable.

Nohara Hiroshi...

The future is also very bright!

That's why they were so excited and felt proud to have followed and worked with such a strong man.

Even outside the classroom, other people who had heard the news came to the door at this time.

I was surprised to see that Hiroshi Nohara was promoted to level 4 director.

Then everyone started to applaud.

This is the time for people to praise each other.

Don't offend people randomly.

What's more, with Nohara Hiroshi's current name and 8.12% viewership ratings this morning, who would dare not respect him in the Tokyo TV production department?

You know, many third-level directors have never been able to achieve an 8.12% viewership rating in their lifetime!
Even those second-level directors dare not say that the TV series or films they directed can be as successful as "Dark House Season 2".

Out of respect, they already regarded Nohara Hiroshi as a fellow human being.

Not the assistant director.

Not the current level 4 director!

"How could this happen!" But in the crowd, although Hashijitaro was clapping hard and quickly, his heart was increasingly... consumed by jealousy!
