My Name is Hiroshi Nohara, Star of Neon Film and Television!

Chapter 149: A True Man! Prospective Father-in-law Koyama Yoshiharu's Emotion!

Nohara Hiroshi's voice was very flat, but at this moment it was like an invisible heavy hammer, fiercely striking the heart of everyone present!

In the entire TV Tokyo Production Bureau, is there any employee bigger than Sakata Nobuhiko?

And who would dare to bring up Sakata Nobuhiko's name?

But Nohara Hiroshi dared to.

Who didn't know, at the Tokyo Metropolis promotional banquet, Sakata Nobuhiko brought Nohara Hiroshi to attend the banquet. The few words and fragmented phrases that spread out, were all about this TV Tokyo Production Bureau Chief, the Deputy Station Chief responsible for all daily work, expressing his admiration and pride for Nohara Hiroshi at the banquet.

Now, Nohara Hiroshi at 23 years old is a Level 3 Director, possessing an independent production department that ordinary Level 2 Directors don't have.

Isn't that also approved by the nod of Bureau Chief Sakata Nobuhiko?

Therefore.

The current Nohara Hiroshi, can basically be seen as the third generation, or even fourth generation, and even the fifth and sixth generations down the line cultivated by Bureau Chief Sakata Nobuhiko... a rising star of the TV Tokyo Production Bureau that they all have to look up to!

Even the future Production Bureau Chief! Thus the entire stage, instantly plunged into a weird, dead silence where a pin drop could be heard.

Those staff members who were originally full of resentment, but dared to be angry but not speak out, upon clearly seeing the person arriving, an excitement and joy surfaced on their faces almost simultaneously!

"Manager Nohara!"

"Manager!"

"Manager, you're back!"

They were like a group of lost lambs who had found their pillar of support, not even bothering to spare another glance at that "top idol" who was jumping up and down like a Persian cat whose tail had been stepped on!

They surged over like the tide, surrounding that young man who from beginning to end merely smiled calmly, like stars surrounding the moon in the center!

That heartfelt adoration and trust, simply wasn't concealed in the slightest!

"You... you guy!"

Kamiki Shunsuke was stunned.

That somewhat effeminate handsome face of his, at this moment was slightly distorted because of extreme shock and indignation.

He looked at that man surrounded by everyone in the center, who was a few years younger than himself, and whose appearance was even a few points more handsome than himself. Those peach blossom eyes carefully drawn with inner eyeliner, were instantly thoroughly filled by a flame of jealousy.

"You... who the hell do you think you are?! What Sakata or no Sakata? I don't know him! Do you know who I know among the higher-ups of your Production Bureau!?"

His voice became somewhat shrill: "This is the backstage of 'Kasou Taishou'! The higher-ups of the TV Tokyo Production Bureau invited me to be a guest! It's my, Kamiki Shunsuke's, special show! You, a guy who popped out from who knows where, dare to point fingers here?!"

He pointed at those staff members, his voice full of hysterical roaring: "And you group of snobbish guys who look down on people! Have you forgotten, who is the main character today?! Believe it or not, with one phone call from me, I can make all of you scram out of TV Tokyo?!"

However this time, no one paid attention to his roaring anymore.

Those staff members, merely used a gaze akin to looking at an idiot, looking at him pityingly.

In those gazes, there was no more anger.

Only ridicule.

Only pity.

Only that kind of helplessness towards a puppy or kitten.

And this kind of gaze, was exactly the gaze that Kamiki Shunsuke, who would resort to any means to climb upwards, hated the most in the past when people looked at him before he was as successful as he is now!

Thinking of the torment he experienced last night, and the distortion in his heart, he instantly became even more hysterical!

...

Front row of the audience seats.

In that red ocean full of the words "Kumamoto Must Win", the atmosphere appeared somewhat subtle.

"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!"

Koyama Yoshiharu, this representative of Kumamoto Prefecture's educational circles, the leader of the "Family and Friends Cheering Squad", at this moment was tightly gripping the cheering small flag in his hand. On that always stern face, was written full of the anger belonging to an educator from the old era.

He looked at that "top idol" on the stage who was throwing a huge temper like a spoiled child, even starting to kick the prop box beside him with his foot. Those two thick eyebrows, had long been twisted into an angry character "川".

He violently turned his head, those sharp eyes unique to a Head Teacher, like two unsheathed daggers, fiercely pierced towards that youngest daughter who was boredly playing with her fingernails.

"Look at this! Look at this! Koyama Musae!"

His voice, suppressed an anger sufficient to make any disobedient student tremble: "This is the star you like?! This is the role model you hang on your lips every day, saying you want to learn from?! Arrogant! Domineering! Looking down on everyone! This is simply... simply... the shame of our Japanese educational circles!"

"I tell you! From today onwards, I forbid you from chasing stars anymore! Even more so, I forbid you from learning this unpresentable, frivolous appearance!"

But these words only bought a disdainful eye roll from the youngest daughter.

"Dad, did you make a mistake?"

Koyama Musae curled her lips: "I don't like this kind of sissy! Look at that eyeliner of his, drawn even thicker than mine, speaking softly and in a high pitch, where is there half a bit of masculinity? Only those brainless fans in our school would like him."

As she spoke, that naturally charming small face, unexpectedly uncontrollably blushed slightly. She stealthily shot a glance at the second sister beside her who was looking helplessly towards the direction of the stage, complaining softly using a volume only the two of them could hear: "If I'm going to like someone, I should like someone like brother-in-law... handsome, capable, and so manly..."

"You——!"

Koyama Yoshiharu was so angered by these words that his blood surged, that cold and hard face instantly flushing into the color of pig liver!

The finger he pointed at Musae was trembling slightly because of anger, but for a time he couldn't find suitable words to rebut.

"Musae! Stop talking nonsense!"

Mother Koyama Takasae at the side finally couldn't bear listening anymore. She reached out her hand, and pinched that unreliably young daughter's arm neither lightly nor heavily. On her face at this moment was also written full of reproach: "Your sister is still here! You child, why are your words becoming increasingly disrespectful to your elders?"

She looked at her young daughter's appearance of not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, a trace of complex emotion flashing deep in her eyes.

That heart belonging to a mother, also gave birth to a trace of deep worry.

"It's fine, Mom."

It was still Koyama Misae who came out to smooth things over like usual. She reached out her hand and dotingly rubbed her younger sister's furry little head, in those beautiful large eyes, filled with tolerance and gentleness towards her younger sister: "Musae is still young, she loves to joke."

"Exactly! I'm only sixteen! I'm still a child!" Koyama Musae immediately acted like a little chick who had found a sanctuary, hiding behind her second sister's back, making a cute funny face towards her father who was blowing his beard and glaring in anger.

However, right in this heartwarming farce full of a family ethical drama atmosphere, Koyama Musae's pitch-black large eyes, suddenly lit up!

She was like Columbus discovering the New World, pointing at that stage that had long become a pot of porridge, lowering her voice and shouting using an irrepressible, near-fanatical cheer: "Brother-in-law! It's brother-in-law! He's here!"

"Hmm?"

Koyama Yoshiharu, Koyama Takasae, Koyama Misae, the three almost simultaneously raised their heads, casting those gazes full of curiosity and concern, towards that center of the storm full of dramatic conflict.

And then, they saw that scene sufficient to make them remember for a lifetime.

They saw, how that young man wearing simple casual clothes, with that signature gentle smile hanging on his face, under the escort of those staff members who had long lost their footing, strolled leisurely onto that stage which should have belonged to the "top idol".

They saw, how those television station elites who dared to be angry but not speak out the previous second, yet acted like they had found their pillar of support the next second, respectfully performed a standard bow before that young man, respectfully addressing him with that term full of awe and conviction —— "Manager Nohara".

They even saw, that "top idol" who was insufferably arrogant the previous second, yet acted like a rooster plucked bare in public the next second, that handsome face written full of unbelievable shock.

"..."

Koyama Yoshiharu watched blankly.

He looked at that young man who, although young, had long possessed the spirit of a monarch. That brain of his which had long been filled by traditional concepts such as "iron rice bowl", "civil servant", "stable life", at this moment, was thoroughly drowned out by a purer, more primal massive shock named "A true man should be like this"!

That cheering small flag in his hand, secretly slipped down at some unknown time.

"This kid..."

He muttered to himself, in that voice, carrying a trace of emotion and pride even he himself hadn't noticed.

"...truly is a somebody!"

...

On the stage, Nohara Hiroshi couldn't even be bothered to spare another glance at that top idol.

He merely calmly cast his gaze, onto the body of the Variety Show Section Chief who had rushed out from the control room, Tanaka Kei.

"Section Chief Tanaka." Nohara Hiroshi asked flatly: "Have the other guests arrived?"

"Hai!" Tanaka Kei's expression paused slightly, seemingly having thought of something, his face immediately revealing a look of shock and excitement. Nodding heavily he said: "Senior Kaneko Yuya, has already been waiting in the backstage ten minutes ago!"

"Very good." Nohara Hiroshi nodded his head, his eyes looking towards that Kamiki Shunsuke whose face had twisted up.

"Kamiki-kun, is it?" His voice was as flat as a pool of bottomless dead water, indiscernible of joy or anger: "I give you two choices."

"First, right now, immediately, right away, return to your makeup room, act like a true professional actor, and complete your work for today. And then, take your appearance fee, and scram out of my sight."

"Second..."

He paused, the corner of his mouth curling into an icy arc.

"—— Leave right now."

These two choices were like heavy siege rams, once again fiercely crashing onto Kamiki Shunsuke's already collapsed mental defenses!

He became even more hysterical.

"You... you dare?!" His voice, because of extreme distortion became somewhat hoarse: "Do you know, my talent agency is Kirin Agency?! Do you know, who is standing behind me?! You dare touch me, I guarantee..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

However, his words hadn't finished, before being abruptly interrupted by Nohara Hiroshi's light chuckle full of playfulness.

"I really want to see which agency, possesses such great ability, to be able to make me unable to replace a trash idol who doesn't even have the most basic professional ethics."

"Or perhaps you're saying, the other party dares to offend our TV Tokyo!?"

Nohara Hiroshi snorted coldly.

Let alone the Japan of this era, even in the Huaxia of his previous life, during the era where those celebrities were arrogant and domineering, they wouldn't dare to offend the television station.

Not to mention now!?

In the current Japanese entertainment circle, idol stars, are the artists with the lowest status!

He merely calmly issued the final command to Tanaka Kei: "Section Chief Tanaka, notify Senior Kaneko, and let him prepare to take the stage."

"Hai!" Tanaka Kei responded.

Nohara Hiroshi speaking, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Also, notify the legal department, to draft a termination contract. The penalty for breach of contract, according to the highest standard on the contract, calculate it clearly for me without a single cent missing."

"Hai!" Tanaka Kei lowered his head and responded.

Finally, Nohara Hiroshi coldly snorted: "Finally, notify the security department, to 'invite' this... Mr. Kamiki who is affecting our normal recording work, out."

"Hai!" Tanaka Kei responded once again.

A series of instructions, clean and neat, without the slightest dragging of mud and water!

That absolute control power holding life and death over the entire project, exclusively belonging to a top-tier producer, at this moment, was manifested incisively and vividly!

"No! You can't do this!"

Kamiki Shunsuke finally came back to his senses, letting out a despairing roar full of hysteria: "I am a guest invited by the higher-ups of your TV Tokyo Production Bureau! Here to promote your TV Tokyo's movie! Do you know Iwata Masao!? Do you know Takada Toshihide?! That is the Executive Deputy Director of your Production Bureau! He has to obediently toast me in front of me! Do you know!?"

He wanted to step forward, to grab that young man's collar, to use the最 primal violence, to defend that pitiful, long-vanished dignity of his!

However, before he could rush out two steps, two figures akin to iron towers, one from the left and one from the right, firmly held him up!

It was the staff members surrounding Nohara Hiroshi.

"Kamiki-kun! Kamiki-kun! Calm down! Calm down ah!"

An unexpected middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking refined, dripping with sweat had rushed out from the backstage at some unknown time!

It was exactly the top agent sent by Kirin Agency to accompany the field, Watanabe Junichi.

He looked at this scene full of the smell of gunpowder before him, that heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley!

He only went to the toilet... never expecting to stir up such a big mess!

Watanabe Junichi was too clear!

He was too clear about what kind of terrifying energy this young man named Nohara Hiroshi before him, who although young, but was already a person who possessed an independent production department in the entire TV Tokyo, exactly possessed!

Let alone a minor Kamiki Shunsuke like him, even if the President of their entire Kirin Agency came personally, in front of this young man, he would also have to be polite, respectfully addressing him —— "Manager Nohara"!

"Manager Nohara! Manager Nohara! Misunderstanding! Everything is a misunderstanding!"

He acted like the most servile pug, scrambling and rolling to rush in front of Nohara Hiroshi, deeply bending his own waist. In that voice, carrying a kind of flattery and panic:

"It's our Shunsuke being ignorant! He... he is still a child! You are magnanimous, absolutely don't lower yourself to his level!"

"After all, this was Section Chief Iwata Masao of your TV Tokyo Production Bureau, who invited Shunsuke over as a guest. And behind him there is also the nod of the Executive Deputy Director, Mr. Takada Toshihide! Aren't you all colleagues?"

"Please forgive his rudeness! Sorry! Sorry! Causing trouble for you! I will let him go calm down right away! Go calm down! Absolutely won't delay the shooting!"

Watanabe Junichi as he spoke, then shot a look at those two security guards who had long been prepared for battle.

Letting them drag that "top idol" who was still hysterically roaring "Let me go! Do you know who I am?!" off this stage like dragging a bag of trash.

The entire backstage once again restored tranquility.

"Oh? Section Chief Iwata Masao, and Executive Deputy Director Takada Toshihide?" Only at this time, Nohara Hiroshi looked at this Watanabe Junichi, his tone playful: "Are you using the two of them to pressure me?"

"No! Absolutely not! Absolutely no such thing!" Watanabe Junichi immediately bowed ninety degrees, his tone extremely terrified.

Although he was a top agent.

But firstly, he couldn't afford to offend that Chairman behind Kamiki Shunsuke.

Secondly, he also couldn't afford to offend this currently most popular rising star of the TV Tokyo Production Bureau.

He could only continuously apologize.

Extremely humble.

"Manager, this is indeed the intention of Iwata Masao and Takada Toshihide's side, it's to promote the movie." Tanaka Kei at this time also came over and said: "Also to return a favor, after all previously, when our Kanto Faction was doing promotion, the Tokyo Faction indeed also put in effort."

"Oh, so it's like this." In Nohara Hiroshi's clear eyes, there wasn't the slightest ripple.

He merely calmly turned around, looking at that group of staff members who had long been thoroughly intimidated by his vigorous and resolute iron-fisted methods. On his face a comforting gentle smile bloomed out anew.

"Alright, everyone, the farce is over."

"Let's continue working."

And then adding a reminder to them: "Give Executive Director Takada some face, if that Kamiki Shunsuke returns and dares to pull any more stunts..." As Nohara Hiroshi spoke, his tone also extremely icy: "Then kick him out for me, I said it!"
