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

Chapter 183: TV Tokyo High-Level Executives Arrive! Commissioner Nakamura is a Fan!

The black Toyota Crown smoothly shuttled through the streets of Tokyo, carrying the four core figures of TV Tokyo's Production Bureau, driving towards the Nippon Eirin located in a secluded corner of the city center.

Here, is the "last door" of whether every movie can ultimately meet the world, and is also the place where the dreams and painstaking efforts of countless filmmakers, receive their final judgment.

The committee building, from the exterior looked solemn and dignified, out of tune with the surrounding modern architectural groups, as if an isolated island stubbornly adhering to traditions and rules.

When Nohara Hiroshi's group arrived, at the doorway there was already a commissioner dressed in a neat suit waiting.

He was not tall in stature, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking astute and capable.

The commissioner originally wanted to reveal a professional smile, stepping forward to respectfully greet, however when his gaze touched the four illustrious figures of Nohara Hiroshi, Asumi, Kurosawa Eiji, and Takada Toshihide, the smile on his face instantly stiffened, his whole person blanked on the spot, eyes full of unbelievable consternation.

"Hey, Nakamura-kun, why blanking standing here?" Deputy Director Asumi was the first to open his mouth, that face of his that always overflowed with a cheerful smile, at this moment carrying a few traces of teasing, breaking the brief silence.

Commissioner Nakamura fiercely jolted, only then recovering his senses, he hastily bowed deeply towards everyone, that posture so humble it almost stuck to the ground.

He was only a newcomer who had just passed the exam to enter the Eirin, coming to work for not even three or four years. Although he could be somewhat haughty towards some small movie producers.

The Eirin towards corresponding institutions of movie production, possessed absolute power of life and death.

But this didn't represent that it had anything to do with him this newcomer.

That was the matter of the leaders.

Moreover these high-level executives of TV Tokyo's Production Bureau in front of him, were absolutely existences that had deep friendships with his own leaders.

Were not people he himself could afford to offend.

At this time could he not be humble?

"Aiya! Deputy Director Asumi! Executive Takada! Director Kurosawa! And also... Department Manager Nohara!"

Commissioner Nakamura's voice carried an imperceptible trace of trembling, face written full of trepidation and being extremely flattered: "Never thought, never thought all of your Excellencies actually would personally visit! This... this truly makes this humble one, makes the committee all feel extremely honored ah!"

He paused, tone even more abashed, even somewhat self-mocking: "With this humble one's level, being able to welcome all of you here, is already a massive honor, it's just... it's just this kind of simplicity and slight, is truly losing face, slighted everyone, still ask all your Excellencies for magnanimity!"

These words of Commissioner Nakamura full of flattery and self-deprecation, made Asumi and Kurosawa Eiji both unable to help but laugh up.

Takada Toshihide although his face still maintained the reserve of a superior, but deep in the bottom of his eyes, yet also flashed a trace of imperceptible satisfaction.

His vanity, in front of this extreme respectfulness, obtained massive satisfaction.

"Nakamura-kun, your words are too heavy." Takada Toshihide cleared his throat, tone plain, yet carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate pride: "Us coming this time, is accompanying Nohara Hiroshi-kun, submitting his new movie 'Hachiko Monogatari'. This movie, is a work that even His Excellency the Governor personally named and praised, we naturally have to attach importance to it."

Kurosawa Eiji then didn't have as many twists and turns as Takada Toshihide, his personality was straightforward, at this moment merely waved his hand, straightforwardly saying: "Alright, Nakamura-kun, no need for excessive courtesy. We all want to see the final cut of Hiroshi-kun's 'Hachiko Monogatari' as soon as possible, you quickly go inform a bit, the various committee members of the committee, are they all ready?"

"Hai! Director Kurosawa! This humble one will go inform right now!" Commissioner Nakamura respectfully bowed once more, and then as if receiving an amnesty, bustlingly rushed into the building.

Nohara Hiroshi looking at that hurriedly leaving back figure of Commissioner Nakamura, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a faint arc.

As expected, in less than two minutes, from the depths of the building transmitted a burst of hurried footsteps.

A man looking about fifty years old, hair combed meticulously, walked out with quick steps. On his face carried a trace of helpless bitter smile, but in his eyes filled with respect towards Nohara Hiroshi's group.

"Aiyaya! Deputy Director Asumi! Executive Takada! Director Kurosawa! And also Department Manager Nohara!"

This newly arrived commissioner, evidently had a higher level, the moment he saw everyone, then immediately stepped forward, respectfully bowing, tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate complaint: "All your Excellencies coming out in full force this time, truly makes this humble one, makes the entire committee feel extremely flattered ah! Even His Excellency Fujiwara, also feels extremely surprised towards everyone's arrival ne!"

"Hahahahaha!" Asumi upon hearing this, couldn't help but laugh out loud, he patted the shoulder of this commissioner, tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate teasing: "Commissioner Matsumoto, these words you say, we don't like listening to. What? Could it be several old bones of our TV Tokyo, then can't come accompany our Hiroshi-kun?"

Commissioner Matsumoto also followed laughing up, he knew these words of Asumi's, were livening up the atmosphere.

He shook his head, that helpless smile on his face became thicker: "Deputy Director Asumi, you jest. All your Excellencies being able to visit, is the honor of our committee. It's just... it's just everyone's arrival, indeed makes this humble one feel somewhat caught off guard ah."

"Alright, Commissioner Matsumoto." Takada Toshihide lightly coughed, tone plain, yet carrying a trace of unquestionable majesty: "Us coming this time, is for submitting Nohara Hiroshi-kun's 'Hachiko Monogatari' for audit. His Excellency Fujiwara, is he in the office right now?"

"Yes! His Excellency Fujiwara is currently inside the office, he knowing Hiroshi-kun was coming over, is also unable to wait wanting to see the final cut of this movie!" Commissioner Matsumoto hastily responded, he made a "please" hand gesture, and then lead everyone, heading towards the depths of the building to walk.

Nohara Hiroshi merely smilingly nodded, that unhurriedness and composure, made him appear exceptionally prominent in this kind of occasion. All the foreshadowing, all the building of momentum, were all for this moment —— letting 'Hachiko Monogatari', in an unprecedented posture, present itself in front of everyone.

They passed through quiet corridors one after another, ultimately arriving in front of a heavy private room door carved out of golden thread nanmu wood.

Commissioner Matsumoto gently pushed open the door.

In the private room, the air permeated with faint sandalwood incense and tea fragrance.

Fujiwara Hideaki at this moment was sitting properly beside the tea table, holding a pen in his hand, the table piled full of documents, explicitly currently reviewing official business.

He raised his head, seeing Nohara Hiroshi's group, on that face that was always elegant and composed, at this moment yet carried a trace of unconcealable surprise.

"Aiyaya! Sakata-kun, Asumi-kun, Takada-kun, Kurosawa-kun, and also Hiroshi-kun!" Fujiwara Hideaki put down the pen in his hand, smilingly stood up, tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate teasing: "Your TV Tokyo Production Bureau, today is truly... coming out in full force ah! Making this tiny office of this humble one, all feel extremely flattered!"

"His Excellency Fujiwara, you jest." Asumi was the first to bow, tone respectful: "Us coming this time, is accompanying Nohara Hiroshi-kun, submitting his new movie 'Hachiko Monogatari'. Being able to receive your personal reception, is the true honor of our TV Tokyo."

Takada Toshihide, Kurosawa Eiji and Nohara Hiroshi also closely followed behind, bowing deeply towards Fujiwara Hideaki, that modesty and unhurriedness, perfectly appropriate.

Joking with those two commissioners before was just joking.

Now, facing His Excellency Fujiwara, one could truly not carelessly joke around.

Nippon's hierarchical order was frighteningly strict.

"All sit, all sit." Fujiwara Hideaki smilingly waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

His gaze swept over everyone, a faint smile surfacing on his face: "Your TV Tokyo, recently is quite in the limelight ah! 'Seven Samurai''s box office, heard has already broken through the 6 billion yen major barrier? Truly worthy of congratulations ah!"

"This is all the merit of Hiroshi-kun!" Asumi hastily responded, tone full of pride.

"Yeah, Hiroshi-kun's talent, indeed makes people marvel." Fujiwara Hideaki nodded, gaze falling on Nohara Hiroshi, eyes carrying a trace of gratification, yet hiding a trace of imperceptible confusion: "However, Hiroshi-kun, this 'Hachiko Monogatari' of yours, is it completed somewhat... hastily? I remember, only two months have passed right?"

Nohara Hiroshi upon hearing this, a confident smile revealed on his face. He knew, Fujiwara Hideaki was testing him, and also giving him an opportunity, displaying his "strength".

"His Excellency Fujiwara, you overthink." Nohara Hiroshi softly opened his mouth, tone calm and resolute, "The filming and post-production of 'Hachiko Monogatari', have all been completely finished, everything doesn't have any problems. Even, compared to what I anticipated, even more perfect."

He felt faintly smug in his heart, after all, in his mind he had the experiences and theories of countless classic films from his past life, producing it was naturally twice the result with half the effort.

This wasn't something the filmmakers of this era, could compare to.

Fujiwara Hideaki looking at that young and confident face of Nohara Hiroshi, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He smiled, tone carrying a few traces of emotional sighing: "Good! A good 'everything doesn't have any problems'! Young people having pioneering spirit is a good thing ah! When I was around this age of yours, I was also about this high-spirited."

He paused, gaze casting towards Asumi, Takada and Kurosawa Eiji, tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate teasing: "However, I wasn't as talented as Hiroshi-kun like this. At that time ah, I was still at the grassroots, for a tiny promotional video, even had to run until my legs broke."

"His Excellency Fujiwara you jest!" Asumi hastily flattered saying, "Back then you were the elite of our TV Tokyo ah! Your talent, all of us have seen with our own eyes! Just that you later chose to serve the citizens, only then left our television station, otherwise, you now would also definitely be the Station Chief of our TV Tokyo!"

Takada Toshihide and Kurosawa Eiji also followed chiming in, with you saying one sentence and me saying another, praising Fujiwara Hideaki until his heart blossomed with joy.

Fujiwara Hideaki merely smilingly shook his head, face overflowing with a happy smile.

Right at this time, the office door was pushed open once again.

Over twenty audit committee members dressed in suits or Kimonos, stepping with unhurried paces, entered in single file.

They were all senior committee members of the Nippon Eirin, holding the power of life and death over Nippon movies.

The moment they entered the door, they then saw these several big-shot figures Fujiwara Hideaki, Asumi, Takada Toshihide and Kurosawa Eiji, shock expressions all revealing on their faces.

But very quickly, they then restrained their shock, stepping forward one after another, respectfully bowing and greeting towards Fujiwara Hideaki.

"His Excellency Fujiwara!"

"Various committee members, you have all come." Fujiwara Hideaki smilingly nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, tone carrying a trace of perfectly appropriate introduction: "Everyone, this one here is the Department Manager of our TV Tokyo Production Bureau, Nohara Hiroshi-kun. He is precisely the Chief Director and Screenwriter of that box office soaring movie 'Seven Samurai'. At the same time, he is also the Producer of 'Hachiko Monogatari'."

He paused, and then smilingly said to Nohara Hiroshi: "Hiroshi-kun, these are the various committee members of our Nippon Eirin. They have all, awaited your works for a long time ah."

Nohara Hiroshi modestly bowed towards the various committee members, that unhurriedness and composure, made all the committee members look at him with new eyes.

"Department Manager Nohara we also got to know previously, moreover, everything is already prepared now!" An elder committee member smilingly said, in those astute eyes of his, flashing expectations towards 'Hachiko Monogatari': "We all want to see, you this time, what kind of surprise you can bring us again!"

"Yeah! Department Manager Nohara! We have heard, even His Excellency the Governor places heavy expectations on this movie of yours ah!" Another committee member also followed chiming in.

Fujiwara Hideaki looking at that expectant expression of everyone, a satisfied smile revealed on his face. He knew, today's submission for audit, will be extremely smooth.

"Alright, everyone, since everyone is ready, then let us head to the screening room." Fujiwara Hideaki saying as he did, then was the first to stand up, stepping with unhurried paces, heading towards the depths of the office to walk.

He paused, and then turned his head, towards Asumi, Takada and Kurosawa Eiji, jokingly saying: "Asumi-kun, Takada-kun, Kurosawa-kun, you guys can also head there together. However, putting the ugly words up front, you can watch, but absolutely cannot express opinions, even more cannot influence the decisions of the committee members ah!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Asumi, Takada and Kurosawa Eiji upon hearing this, all couldn't help but laugh out loud. They knew, these words of Fujiwara Hideaki, were giving them "face", and also "setting the rules" for them.

They exchanged a smile, that tacit understanding without words, quietly flowing in the air.

Under the leadership of Fujiwara Hideaki, Nohara Hiroshi's group, and the twenty-something audit committee members, heading towards the direction of the screening room in a mighty formation.

'Hachiko Monogatari', this movie bearing countless expectations and hopes, was about to welcome its, first official screening at the Nippon Eirin.

Nohara Hiroshi's gaze cast towards that heavy screening room main door ahead, a confident light flashing in his eyes.

"En? Department Manager Nohara, by the looks of it, you don't have the intention of worrying?" Right as Nohara Hiroshi was waiting here, Commissioner Nakamura who was the first to receive them carried a cup of brewed green tea walking over, placing it beside Nohara Hiroshi.

Seeing Nohara Hiroshi so calm and peaceful, and also extremely confident in appearance, a trace of consternation also surfaced in his eyes.

After all this Commissioner Nakamura, after coming to this movie audit institution, didn't know how many directors, producers, and corresponding personnel responsible for movies he had seen over.

Yet without exception, as long as they arrived here, they would all be considerably nervous.

Even if peaceful on the surface, one could still detect the nervousness in their eyes.

Like Nohara Hiroshi like this, so peaceful, truly giving people a kind of unhurried and confident appearance person, then in his impressions, were simply too few.

Could even be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"Why should I worry ne?" Nohara Hiroshi instead lightly laughed, looking at this Commissioner Nakamura whose age also wasn't much different from his own, nodding to him considering it thanking him for the hot tea he brought, and then picking up the cup, taking small sips, peacefully saying: "Arriving here one then doesn't need to excessively worry, after all my 'Hachiko Monogatari', is entirely a positive film, I think the committee members inside can also see it, won't carry out accusations towards my movie and order certain segments to be amended."

Commissioner Nakamura nodded: "Then hope everything goes smoothly."

In Commissioner Nakamura's heart, looking at this young man visibly two or three years younger than himself, thinking of when he previously heard his name and achievements, also couldn't help but sigh with emotion endlessly.

Even still having a kind of special shy feeling.

Because Commissioner Nakamura right now, still really liked reading manga.

Especially Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump.

Must buy every issue!

Inside the three manga regarding Nohara Hiroshi, the one belonging to hot-blooded manga 'YuYu Hakusho' is his favorite, so the tankobon is also a must-buy every issue.

'Midnight Diner' then is a kind of manga he would read every time after getting off work, right before going to bed, capable of soothing his inner heart, every issue is also a must-buy.

Moreover regarding that low-age oriented 'Doraemon', in actuality Commissioner Nakamura's heart also liked it very much.

Could even be said, the current Commissioner Nakamura, although already twenty-six, twenty-seven years old. But what he liked the most in his heart, was still this manga full of unconstrained imagination, just for seven or eight year old children.

Even sometimes Commissioner Nakamura was still thinking in his heart, if he had a Doraemon, a robot originating from the future, what kind of changes would happen to his own life.

Of course, these are also just delusions.

He knew this was just a sci-fi themed manga that's all.

But in his heart, towards 'Doraemon', towards 'YuYu Hakusho' and 'Midnight Diner', and the master of these three works —— Nohara Hiroshi, in the midst of his inner heart, he held extreme reverence.

This was also the reason why, he personally brewed a cup of green tea, and brought it up to give to Nohara Hiroshi.

Have to know, this in the Eirin, these administrative officials with eyes higher than the top of their heads, had never disdained to bring tea water to these young or ordinary movie directors or producers.

At most just telling them where the water dispenser is was considered good.
