I, Hiroshi Nohara, the star of Japanese cinema

Chapter 5 On-the-spot Explanation
Masao Iwata left Seito Suzuki's director's classroom, ignored the greetings of several new employees, and slowly returned to his own director's classroom.

Anyway, both of them are third-level directors in the production department of Tokyo TV, and their assigned offices and classrooms are not far away.

This is also the reason why he went to investigate at this time.

"Heh, it seems like it's only a matter of time before that old fellow Suzuki Seito is kicked out of the headquarters production department!"

Back in his classroom, Masao Iwata swept his triangular eyes over his subordinates who were busy working in the classroom, and looked at them sinisterly as they all looked very nervous. He felt like a lion patrolling its territory, which satisfied his vanity.

So he pushed open the door of his office and returned to his carefully decorated single office.

Thinking of Suzuki Seito's angry face.

Iwata Masao even showed a smug smile on his face: "It seems that this time, the promotion to Level 2 Director is a done deal."

He was originally wary of that little-known cartoonist.

Afraid of something going wrong.

That's why he went over to take a look so arrogantly.

But unexpectedly, the little-known cartoonist was just a recent graduate.

"Just because I got lucky and the random comics I drew were successful, I think I can make animations?"

Iwata Masao picked up the pen in his hand and toyed with it gently between his fingers, the smug look on his face becoming more and more intense. "I think this old fellow Suzuki Seito has lost his mind. He actually wants to put his hopes on a fresh graduate. No wonder he's been at TV Tokyo for seven or eight years and is still stuck as a third-level director."

Iwata Masao sneered as he spoke: "Or rather, they're from a subsidiary station under the main TV station. Just like those subordinate stations, they're all petty!"

If they are not petty, then why are the programs produced by the subsidiary stations under Tokyo TV so bad?
Both the ratings and the completion rate are very poor.

"One day sooner or later, all of you guys who are just eating and waiting to die will be kicked out!" Masao Iwata snorted coldly with a gloomy face.

Think about it, the other party is still competing with you for promotion opportunities.

Masao Iwata's expression became even uglier.

'Jingle Bell--'

Just as Masao Iwata was thinking, the desk phone on the desk in front of him suddenly rang.

Iwata Masao picked up: "I am Iwata Masao."

But as the voice on the other end of the phone appeared, his expression suddenly changed.

The arrogant and suppressed expression before was now completely transformed into a submissive look, and even the gloomy look disappeared and turned into a bright smile.

Because the person on the other end of the phone was his backer, his father's former classmate.

He is also the deputy director of the Tokyo TV production department.

Toshihide Takada.

"Deputy Director Takada, please rest assured. I have already prepared the subject matter. It is an animation project based on the wronged souls of ancient samurai."

"We are currently working on it at an expedited pace. My team is very professional."

"Yes, I understand that time is of the essence."

"Suzuki Seito?"

"I've already done some research. He's only just started planning, and he's desperately trying to find a solution, choosing a recent graduate as his partner."

"Yes, it would be very foolish indeed, and I will take my chance."

"I'm very grateful to Deputy Director Takada for telling me half a month in advance."

"Hi! Thank you very much! Hi!"

At this time, Masao Iwata was standing in front of his desk, his face became even more serious, and he bowed repeatedly at the end.

Wait for the call to end.

The bright and exaggerated smile on his face slowly faded.

However, even if he restrained his smile, there was still a smug smile in Masao Iwata's eyes, face, and mouth.

If there is no accident.

Promotion to the rank of second-level director.

It was destined to be his! With that thought, Iwata Masao didn't stay in the office. Instead, he opened the door and went outside, continuing to survey his territory with a stern face.

Especially looking at the territory, there are four or five more subordinates than in Suzuki Seito's classroom.

And they all seemed to be busy with their own things.

"吆西."

Iwata Masao nodded with satisfaction.

He could see that these assistants were working diligently on an animation based on the subject matter and content that he had determined in advance.

According to the progress, the first unit will be produced before the weekend.

When the time comes, report it to the Production Bureau's Review Department in advance.

Just approve.

Then, with the help of Deputy Director Takada, we can move forward quickly, approve the film in advance, and then arrange an evening slot for the premiere.

By then, as long as there is a 3% viewership rate.

Then there is the promotion quota for myself as a second-level director.

It’s absolutely stable!
"Everyone, be serious!" Thinking of this, Iwata Masao stroked the small mustache under his nose. As his face became more and more happy, he solemnly reminded his subordinates in the classroom: "Don't rush for the sake of speed. You must strive for perfection. Understand?"

"Hi! I know!" In the office, subordinates who were busy writing animation content, making animation panels, making animation storyboards, and testing the fluency of the animation responded one after another.

This made Masao Iwata nod with great satisfaction.

These subordinates were also animation producers he hired through his connections.

Although the current Neon is not the Neon on Earth in the previous life, it can basically be regarded as the Neon of a parallel world. The level of animation production is top-notch on Earth and also in this blue planet world.

Moreover, due to the explosion of the film and television industry, a large number of skilled workers have also been trained in today's parallel neon of the 90s.

These seemingly young subordinates may have just graduated from school.

The production of animation is also professional.

"With smooth animations, a terrifying plot, bloodshed, ghosts, and gods, my Onibo Samurai will definitely be a huge success!"

Masao Iwata is full of confidence.

……

Suzuki classroom.

After all, Nohara Hiroshi had been in officialdom in his previous life, so he quickly integrated into the normal work rhythm of the classroom.

And because he was the one who completed the manga of "Anzhiju".

So, when Seito Suzuki decided on the next theme of animation, he would adapt Nohara Hiroshi's "An Shibai".

The focus of this work, of course, is on Hiroshi Nohara.

He is the creator.

That is equivalent to saying that it is the screenwriter who best fits the essence of the work.

What's more, Nohara Hiroshi still has all the memories of "An Shibaju" broadcast on Tokyo TV in his previous life on Earth.

Adapting comics is now a piece of cake!
The four people in Suzuki's classroom were extremely surprised.

Everyone was surprised, including Seito Suzuki.

Because when Hiroshi Nohara explained how to create animation, how to storyboard, how to divide comics into pages, and how to produce it.

They found that Nohara Hiroshi's explanation was very logical.

It's as if...

Hiroshi Nohara planned all the contents in his mind and then explained them to them. They didn't need to worry about it, they just had to follow his instructions!
And based on the results they calculated in their minds.

What Nohara Hiroshi explained and planned...

It really seems perfect!
"Is this kid a genius?" Even Seito Suzuki, who is in his fifties and has been working as a director for more than thirty years, was extremely shocked when he listened to Hiroshi Nohara's explanation, including some of his ideas. He looked at Hiroshi Nohara with a brighter look!
