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

Chapter 258: A Belated Celebration Banquet! After the TV Tokyo Banquet Comes Kanto TV! Misae's Warmth!

Early in the morning, Nohara Hiroshi rode in the filming crew's car heading to Mito City in Ibaraki Prefecture—the eighth episode of "A Bite of Neon," "The Sticky Fragrance of Natto," aimed to document the century-old craftsmanship of the traditional Mito Natto family, "Satoya."

As soon as the car stopped at the alley entrance, a faint bean aroma drifting from the wooden fermentation room could be smelled. The sixth-generation successor, Sato Kenichi, was squatting at the door turning and drying straw. Seeing Nohara Hiroshi, he immediately put down the wooden rake in his hand and went to greet him: "Hiroshi-san, you're finally here! Mito Natto is different from other places. We have to use our local 'early-maturing soybeans,' and then wrap them in frosted straw for fermentation, only then will it have this special stickiness."

Nohara Hiroshi followed Sato Kenichi into the fermentation room, where more than twenty earthenware vats were neatly arranged, with linen cloths covering the mouths of the vats. "These earthenware vats were passed down from my grandfather and have been used for over forty years. The bacterial flora on the walls of the vats makes the natto more flavorful." Sato Kenichi lifted the lid of an earthenware vat and picked up some natto with bamboo chopsticks. Long, thin, sticky threads hung down. "Young people nowadays find handmade natto troublesome and use machines to ferment it instead. But without the aroma of straw, it always feels lacking a bit of the vitality of life."

"Sato-san, can we film a shot of you turning the straw?" Nohara Hiroshi turned his head to tell the cameraman, "Shoot from a low angle to highlight the dew on the straw and the calluses on his hands, and record clearly the 'rustling' sound of turning the straw."

Squatting next to the earthenware vat, watching Sato Kenichi gently turning the natto with his hands, he suddenly added, "Let's film a scene of you delivering natto to old customers in a bit, okay? I heard you deliver fresh natto to Grandma Yamada at the end of the alley every day. This detail will let the audience feel the warmth of handmade natto."

At noon, Sato Kenichi's grandson, Sato Shota, returned from school. Carrying his schoolbag, he squeezed into the fermentation room: "Grandpa, Hiroshi-san, I brought a school bento, let's eat natto rice together!"

Nohara Hiroshi watched Shota skillfully mix the natto into the rice and add some crushed seaweed. He suddenly asked the camera to focus on the hands of the grandfather and grandson—the old man's rough hands and the child's tender hands mixing the natto together. The sunlight spilled onto the dining table through the wooden window, full of the warmth of inheritance.

"Hiroshi-san, after the 'A Bite' you filmed last time aired, many people from Tokyo came to our shop to buy natto. Even the mayor of Mito City came to visit!" Shota said while eating, his eyes shining with pride.

Before leaving Mito City, Nohara Hiroshi made a special trip to the Ibaraki Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative (JA). The chairman, Suzuki Hiroshi, held a sales report and said with a smile: "Hiroshi-kun, thanks to you, everyone knows that your 'A Bite' is coming here to film. Pre-sales for handmade Mito natto have more than doubled. Department stores in Osaka and Nagoya have all asked to restock! Next time you film agricultural products, you must choose our Ibaraki again!"

Nohara Hiroshi accepted the report but didn't stay long—for the ninth episode, "The Time of Pickled Vegetables," they had to journey to Matsusaka City in Mie Prefecture to document the century-old pickle shop "Matsuya" and its "Umeboshi."In the old alleys of Matsusaka City, the wooden signboard for "Matsuya" has hung for a hundred and twenty years. The proprietress, Matsumoto Sumie, was leading her apprentices in picking green plums in the courtyard.

"Hiroshi-san, Matsusaka Umeboshi has to use our local 'Nanko Ume'. The skin is thin and the flesh is thick, so when pickled, it's sour and sweet enough."

She held a bamboo basket in her hands, plum juice still dotting her fingernails. "The plucked green plums must be immediately rubbed with coarse salt, then put into earthenware crocks to pickle for three months. They must be turned once a day, otherwise they will rot."

Nohara Hiroshi arranged for the cameramen to shoot in two teams: one team filmed the green plums in the courtyard, with close-ups of the instant dewdrops slid off the green plums;

the other team filmed the earthenware crocks in the workshop, taking an overhead shot of the arc made by Matsumoto Sumie turning the umeboshi with a wooden spoon.

"Matsumoto-san, why do you insist on using handmade methods for pickled vegetables?" he asked softly. Matsumoto Sumie wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed to an old photo on the wall: "This is my mother-in-law. This is exactly how she pickled umeboshi back then. Machine-pickled umeboshi is ready in three days, but it lacks the taste of waiting. How can that be considered true Matsusaka Umeboshi?"

Towards evening, a regular customer, Watanabe Yukie, carrying a cloth bag to purchase umeboshi, spotted the camera and laughed: "Hiroshi-san, I've eaten Matsuya's umeboshi for forty years. From a young girl to a grandmother, the taste has never changed. Last time I watched the 'A Bite' you made, I specifically brought my granddaughter to learn how to pickle umeboshi, to let her know the excellence of traditional craftsmanship."

Nohara Hiroshi immediately signaled the camera to focus on the grandmother and granddaughter. Watanabe Yukie taught her granddaughter how to distinguish pickled umeboshi. The little girl's fingers lightly touched the umeboshi, and she said with a smile: "Grandma, the skin of the umeboshi is so chewy!" This dialogue later became the finishing touch of the ninth episode, reminding countless viewers of their own elders.

The tenth episode, "The Sea Breeze of Grilled Fish," was still filmed at Choshi Fishing Port in Chiba Prefecture. Nomizu Masayasu had long since brought fishermen to wait at the dock.

The fishing port in the early morning was full of the smell of fish. The fishermen gutted the freshly caught mackerel, scraped the scales, smeared them evenly with coarse salt, and placed them on a charcoal fire to grill.

"Hiroshi-san, Choshi's grilled fish must be grilled until the skin is crispy, and the meat still retains its juices. You have to use the charcoal fire at the fishing port;

Tokyo's gas stoves can't grill this flavor." Nomizu Masayasu turned the grilled fish. In the crackling sound of the charcoal fire, fish oil dripped onto the fire, splashing fine sparks.

Nohara Hiroshi had the team follow and film the entire process of the fishermen out at sea. When a mackerel leapt out of the sea, the cameraman instantly captured the morning light reflecting off the fish's body.

"Record the sound of the fishermen cheering clearly, as well as the 'splash' of the fishing net being hauled in."

He shouted to the sound recordist, then turned to his assistant and said, "For the scene of the fishermen having dinner in the evening, just film them sitting around the dock, drinking sake with grilled fish. The vitality of life in the sea breeze is what touches people the most."

The finale of "A Bite," the eleventh episode, "The Ingenuity of Teppanyaki," was chosen to be filmed at "Daikokuya," a century-old teppanyaki restaurant in Osaka.

The head chef, Kuroda Takashi, is seventy years old this year. He started learning teppanyaki from his father at the age of fifteen. He can now grill beef to medium-well on the iron plate while also keeping onion rings crisp and sweet.

"Hiroshi-san, the heat control for teppanyaki is the most critical. Beef must be grilled on a 220-degree iron plate for 30 seconds, flipped and grilled for another 20 seconds, and finally simmered with the residual heat of the iron plate for 10 seconds. Only in this way will the meat juices not be lost."

Kuroda Takashi gripped the teppanyaki spatula, slightly turning his wrist. The beef made a "sizzle" sound on the iron plate, and the aroma of the fat instantly spread.

Nohara Hiroshi had the cameraman take a close-up of the iron plate—the blood of the beef slowly seeping out, the edges of the onion rings roasting with scorch marks, and Kuroda Takashi's teppanyaki spatula drawing crisp arcs on the iron plate.

"Why do you insist on using a traditional iron plate?" he asked.

Kuroda Takashi wiped the iron plate, his eyes full of persistence: "Electronic iron plates can control the temperature, but they can't control the 'feel'. When old iron plates are used for a long time, a layer of oil film will form on the surface. The meat grilled with it carries the aroma of the iron plate, which electronic iron plates cannot compare with."

When the final shot was finished, the Osaka night had already fallen.

Nohara Hiroshi looked at the image on the monitor and suddenly bowed to his team: "Thank you everyone, we used eleven stories to put the vitality of neon life into the camera lens."

The team members applauded enthusiastically. Someone smiled and said: "Hiroshi-san, following you to film 'A Bite,' only then did we know that there are so many warm stories hidden behind food."

When Nohara Hiroshi returned to TV Tokyo with the finale footage of "A Bite," a red banner reading "Congratulations to Nohara Hiroshi on his promotion to Level 2 Director" had already been hung up in front of the office building. Two rows of flower baskets were placed at the entrance, specially sent by Kanto TV and NHK.

Sakata Nobuhiko stood at the entrance of the lobby, wearing a sharp suit. Seeing Nohara Hiroshi, he immediately walked up with a smile: "Hiroshi-kun, we've been waiting for you for a long time! The promotion ceremony is scheduled for 2:00 PM. All cadres above the middle-management level from the station are here, and a few retired Station Chiefs also came over specifically to see you, this 'genius director,' with their own eyes."

At 2 PM, there were no empty seats in the TV Tokyo auditorium.

Sitting in the first row were Level 1 Directors like Kurosawa Eiji and Matsumoto Keiko;

in the second row were Level 2 Directors such as Iwata Masao, Ashikaga Takashi, and Asano Takata. The back rows were occupied by department officials and section chiefs.

Nohara Hiroshi, dressed in a dark suit, had just stepped into the auditorium when enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Even the usually stern Kurosawa Eiji managed a rare smile.

Sakata Nobuhiko ascended the stage holding the documents for Nohara Hiroshi's promotion. His voice resounded through the auditorium via the microphone: "Today, we are here to witness a historic moment—Nohara Hiroshi-kun is specially promoted from Level 3 Director to Level 2 Director, whilst retaining the role of Deputy Bureau Chief for the Production Bureau at Kanto TV. Having been with the station for under two years, he has delivered a staggering track record: 'Yamishibai' pioneered a new genre of urban legend animation with a viewership exceeding 25%;

'Kasou Taishou' transformed Japan's neighborhood apathy and was listed by the Cabinet as a 'Project for Promoting Social Harmony';

'Seven Samurai' was nominated at international film festivals, re-introducing Japanese samurai films to the world stage;

and 'A Bite of Neon' boosted regional tourism and traditional craft revivals, earning special praise from the Ministry of Education. Such talent and responsibility compel us all to study and emulate!"

Scarcely had Sakata Nobuhiko finished his speech when Kurosawa Eiji became the first to stand up, clutching a movie poster of "Seven Samurai" in his hand: "Hiroshi-kun, I've directed samurai films for forty years and always believed the essence of samurai movies was 'honor' and 'combat'. But checking out your 'Seven Samurai', I recognized samurai films could narrate the 'courage of farmers' and the 'reconciliation of classes'. Your farmers holding hoes possess far more power than your samurai clenching their swords. This insight into human nature—I confess my inferiority!"

Matsumoto Keiko also stood up next, clutching the script to "Midnight Diner": "Hiroshi-kun, I always harbored the notion that young individuals couldn't navigate deep, emotional films until 'Midnight Diner' graced my screen. Utilizing a single bowl of ramen, you recount loneliness;

manipulating one serving of tamagoyaki, you illustrate regret. You forego flowery jargon yet resonate more deeply inside hearts than the romance dramas I create. Prior to this, while directing 'Love of Sakura', I specifically replicated your technique—adding a segment where the male lead folds a cherry blossom bookmark for the female lead. The audience exclaimed it was 'too sweet'. Credit naturally runs to you!"

Iwata Masao sat tight in the second row, firmly gripping "Yamishibai's" storyboard outlines, features fraught with profound feelings: "Hiroshi-san, I was previously defiant, assuming your 'Yamishibai' was propelled purely by luck, until studying your storyboards extensively. Regarding that 'Scarecrow' installment, adjusting towards low angles highlighting shadows streaking a wheat field while weaving raven cries, suspense blossomed—not counting on special effects, but aggregated off meticulous detail. When navigating 'Onibo Samurai', I solely targeted polishing the aesthetics, neglecting this devotion for minutiae. I shall diligently absorb from you going forward!"

Ashikaga Takashi followed suit, carrying his 'Sengoku Scenery' production notes: "Hiroshi-san, whenever recording period narratives, shining armor combined with flashy combative moves occupied my priorities heavily. Contrarily, you educated me 'scratches marking armor denote genuine stories'. During the 'Sengoku Scenery' recording, I intentionally mandated the prop unit age the armor, fabricating combat lacerations combined with rust patches—viewers unanimously stated 'enhanced immersion'. Now my production notes brim with your counsels, resembling 'Displaying a general's loneliness forbids filming his face;

pivot toward capturing his hands continuously polishing tired blades'. These granularities propelled my artistry an entire rung higher!"

Asano Takata clutched audience correspondent mail linked with "Mother's Bento" while chuckling: "Hiroshi-san, during our prior discourse you mentioned 'Heartwarming creations utilize detail, exempting crying'. Hence, whilst developing 'Mother's Bento', I included a sequence featuring the mother drawing small emoticons onto bento configurations—designing smiling faces onto rice balls, writing 'Assure Reheating' crossing pickle containers. Those granular touches triggered tears synchronized with viewers' smiles. That corresponding viewership metric catapulted 10 percentage points past preceding marks. Correspondences piled bridging desks inquiring 'When's the sequel debuting'!"

Nohara Hiroshi scaled the stage to accept the Level 2 Director's Certificate from Sakata Nobuhiko, lightly rubbing against the gold foil typography adorning the documentation cert, maintaining a tranquil tone uniformly: "Gratitude directed across the station accepting my worth. Likewise appreciating every senior guiding me steadily. Securing contemporary triumphs forbids extracting collaborative reinforcements—Section Chief Hashimoto Ichiro assisting controlling 'Yamishibai's' animation criteria, Section Chief Yamamoto Takeshi aiding polishing 'Tales of the Unusual's' scripts, Section Chief Tanaka Kei facilitating progressing 'Kasou Taishou's' recording phases. Even paramount implies bypassing TV Tokyo granting these expansive channels empowering non-restrictive creativity revealing authentic narratives crossing Japanese grounds showcasing across viewer masses."

He paused marginally, pivoting toward younger executives dotting the audience floors:

"I'm conversant multitudinous younger colleagues frequently harbor anxiety suspecting 'hierarchy based upon seniority' risks stifling talent. I desire illuminating towards everyone affirming genuine talent unconditionally circumvents obscuration. Guaranteeing maintaining quiet dedication yielding robust crafts, displaying willingness honing singular scenes recurrently, evidencing eagerness immersing deeply engaging livelihoods extracting single narratives, discovery inevitably concludes effectively. Imminently targeting Kanto TV establishing targeted 'Creative Exchange Chambers', dedicating weekly occurrences exchanging blueprints unified, meticulously polishing respective works collectively. Uniting forces capturing formidable tales combined with exceptional traditional arts spreading traversing broader viewer communities universally!"

Puncturing Nohara Hiroshi's concluding sentences birthed thundering ovations resonating matching entire audience scopes. Inclusive of retired ex-Station Chiefs arising projecting thumbs upward aimed directing Nohara Hiroshi: "Formidable youngster! Providing TV Tokyo boasts talents resembling you, forward-moving three decadal periods secures worry-free existence!"

Presently, who dares contesting Nohara Hiroshi's outstanding talent?

Approaching evening periods spanning Ginza's "Matsuha" club suites beamed radiantly emitting brilliance continuously.

Nohara Hiroshi freshly crossing stepping suite entrances beckoned Asano Takata extending sake cups arriving proactively greeting: "Hiroshi-san, attempting toasting you singly! Recall past interactions referencing 'Emotional drama cores constitute resonance exempting sensationalism'. Processing 'Mother's Bento', intentionally expunging sequences involving female lead shedding tears quoting 'missing mother', transitioning converting capturing her consuming bento configurations spotting smiley configurations occupying rice balls prompting unconscious mouth curving smiles consecutively. This section ultimately secured summit trending metrics defining entire narratives. Audience masses quoted 'shed tears concurrent observing hunger incitingly'!"

Nohara Hiroshi grasping securing cup placements clinking Asano Takata's cup delicately: "Asano-san remains exceedingly polite respectfully. Origination involves inherently grasping emotional storytelling center cores properly. I solely interjected minor suggestions appropriately. Filming details recording mother drawing configurations encompassing bento formats exceeds whatsoever verbal dialogue moving human cores substantially. Connoting authentic qualitative masterpiece characteristics properly."

Simultaneous securing seating setups yielded Kurosawa Eiji offering transferring chopsticks pointing tabletop grilled sea bream variants prominently: "Hiroshi-kun, sample testing this grilled sea bream offering.

Audiences unanimously concluding 'Excessively realistic'!"

Nohara Hiroshi accepting wagashi biting consuming single fragment evaluating matcha's trace bitterness intermixed red bean sweetness yielding delicate textures properly: "Senior Matsumoto, over-praising distributing excessive accolades surely. Romance narrative core formatting bypasses specifying 'Romance' directly denoting 'Companionship' predominantly. Analogous characterizing referencing 'Midnight Diner' patrons arriving omitting singular consuming gourmet seeking discovering tracking companionship authentically.
