Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

It really brought me a lot of fun for three months.

Chapter 182: Miao Mengqin who wants to eat "human blood steamed buns".

Although this open-air music festival has finally come to an end, Taku Hoshikawa still has a lot of things to do.

He wanted someone to create an official account for the band "Extension Line" and upload videos of materials from the music festival to maximize the band's influence while the popularity was still there.

He was going to log into his "Guitar Hero" account, edit and upload the clips of last night's music festival performance, and attach a sincere speech, praying for Mizuno Ai and hoping that she could get through the difficult times.

He also has to arrange the production of a new Vlog for "Meow Dream Qin" to ensure the quality of the content and continue to maintain traffic growth.

Just when Taku Hoshikawa arrived at the office and gave orders one by one, he was amused to find that Miao Meng had already edited and released the latest Vlog overnight.

However, this Vlog did not provide a detailed introduction to the band's stage performance, nor did it include clips of her interactions with her fans at the music festival.

Those things were just mentioned briefly, and the focus of her video was on the incident of Mizuno Ai being struck by lightning, as well as her own and the shocked reactions of the audience.

Thinking about it this way, although Miao Meng was indeed pale and terrified last night, she kept her phone held high and recorded the entire process unwaveringly.

In this video, her dubbing was a little nervous, and even had a bit of excitement due to curiosity.

"Everyone was stunned at the time, and I was terrified too... But after watching the video carefully, it's incredible that she was struck by lightning so many times...!"

Compared to "Guitar Hero", "Mizuno Ai" is more popular at the moment, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

Xingchuan extended his forehead.

Miao Meng really likes to ride on the popularity, she even dares to ride on this kind of popularity...

This is like "eating human blood buns". Although it can quickly gain popularity and become a hot search, it will also be cursed by many people.

Especially when Mizuno Ai's current reputation is gradually moving towards "sainthood", Miao Meng's video is very dangerous.

"Meow Meng, I suggest you take this video down. If more people see it, it won't be a good thing. It might cause resentment."

Hoshikawa Taku sent a message to Meowmeng.

It was class time for Miao Meng, but she seemed to be slacking off and playing with her phone, so she replied very quickly.

"Why did you delete it? I got the official push, and it's already got 100,000 views in just a few hours!"

"Being popular isn't necessarily a good thing. Be careful of backlash from black traffic. However, this is your account. If you think this video is okay, then don't take my words personally."

This is all Hoshikawa Takuyan has to say.

"...Let me think about it."

Miao Meng on the other end of the phone looked at these words, bit her lip slightly, and struggled internally.

She knew that Taku Hoshikawa had a sharp eye, and the method he taught her helped her regain popularity and even gained tens of thousands of fans.

However, Miao Meng really couldn't bear to give up this wave of traffic.

It has already reached 100,000 views in just a few hours, and she feels that this episode may even reach a million views.

Haters? So what?

She has been involved in many hot topics before, and she could easily deal with them every time by blocking the trolls and deleting the negative comments. There shouldn't be any problem this time, right?

Thinking of this, Miao Meng made up his mind - not to delete the video!

She stayed up late last night to make this video, it would be a shame if she deleted it.

Taku Hoshikawa looked at his phone and saw that Miao Meng didn't reply, so he was too lazy to continue persuading her.

"Forget it. I've reminded her. Whether she wants to listen or not is up to her."

Anyway, he has already reminded Miao Meng what he should have reminded her, and it is not his responsibility if Miao Meng does not listen.

For "Keycap", verbal education is useless. Only by letting her suffer a big lesson will she realize her importance.

Putting Miao Meng's matter aside, Taku Hoshikawa continued to arrange various tasks to keep the office employees busy, each doing their own job, and ensuring that all publicity work was carried out in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon, Momoka Kawahara and Jinna Iseriri from the band Shin Kawasaki came to visit.

When sending them home last night, Taku Hoshikawa told them the address of the office and asked them to come to the company when it was convenient for them.

It seems that they have recovered.

Lupa and Xiaozhi had just finished their performance yesterday and encountered that kind of thing again. Hoshikawa Taku generously gave them a few days off and asked other reception staff in the agency to take them on a tour.

The girls opened their eyes wide, looking around the spacious and modern office building with curiosity and amazement.

They carefully observed everything from the front desk on the first floor to the various practice rooms, and even the recording studio and rest area. They were obviously full of novelty about everything here.

Unlike the empty building a month ago, the office is now back on track.

After negotiations, several small firms chose to move in and rented an area for office use.

Several vacant practice rooms and recording studios are also rented out, with charges based on time periods. Many bands and independent musicians also rent them.

This rent alone can bring in a stable income of 5 million yen per month, which is more than enough to pay employee salaries and utilities, and even have a surplus.

“Collecting rent” is really cool. You can earn so much without doing anything.

Takumo Hoshikawa calculated that the area of ​​this building currently rented out is not that large. If the entire floor is utilized, the monthly net profit can even exceed 20 million yen.

In other words, the company can earn 200 million yuan a year from rent alone, which is enough to repay the original 1 billion yuan debt in five years.

Unfortunately, five years is too long, and Taku Hoshikawa does not have that much time to wait for the rent to pay off. He still has to make money from the band.

As Taku Hoshikawa was thinking about this, he looked at the two girls who had finished their tour and were brought to the office.

"Are you two sure you want to sign a contract with me?"

Hoshikawa Taku asks Momoka and Nina.

After a visit, the professionalism of the firm further strengthened their determination to sign the contract.

Taoxiang took a deep breath, met his gaze, and nodded solemnly.

"Rinna and I have already discussed this. If you can deliver on your promise—give us enough freedom and provide the appropriate publicity and promotion—we're willing to sign the contract."

"Of course, I will fulfill my promise to you."

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and nodded.

As long as they can sign the contract, there is no need to worry about freedom and publicity.

For traditional agencies, any event announcement requires a lot of effort. If the signed artist cannot make money commercially, he or she may be neglected and shelved.

However, Hoshikawa Taku has a system to back him up, so he doesn't have to worry about costs. Any activity is profitable for him.

It’s just a matter of how much you earn.

With him, Momoka and Nina can freely create music with their own unique style, even if it is not liked by the public.

Taku Hoshikawa will help them find their audience.

Chapter 183 Your wages can be "optimized"

Seeing that Hoshikawa Taku agreed so readily, Momoka showed a little joy on her face, but soon, as if she thought of something, she showed a little embarrassment on her face.

"Although we both agreed to sign the contract, we still hope to sign it with Subaru."

Rencai nodded repeatedly beside him: "That's right, the three of us agreed to advance and retreat together!"

"So, have you asked An and Subaru about her wishes? Is she willing to sign the contract?"

Hoshikawa Taku asked.

Taoxiang sighed, revealing a hint of helplessness: "Actually, she is also inclined to sign the contract...but the problem is, she is worried that she won't be able to get past her grandmother."

"Her grandmother?"

Taoxiang nodded, frowning slightly as she said, "An Hesuba never told her grandmother that she wanted to be a professional musician. Her grandmother has always been training her to be an actor. Even today, she is attending a vocational arts school."

Hoshikawa Taku tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said slowly, "In other words... as long as I can convince An and Subaru's grandmother, the three of you can sign the contract together?"

Taoxiang nodded solemnly.

"It can be said like this."

"Well."

Hoshikawa Taku snapped his fingers, a look of confidence on his face, "I'll find a way to convince her grandmother, just wait for good news."

Taoxiang looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Xingchuan, are you sure?"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled faintly and said calmly, "The reason why elders plan their children's future is because they feel that their children are not mature enough and cannot make their own decisions."

"So, as long as An He Subaru can firmly express his wishes to his grandmother and prove that he is capable of taking responsibility for himself, his grandmother will not stop him."

He paused and said, "Of course, that's assuming her grandmother isn't the stubborn type. Anyway, I'll take care of this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Taku Hoshikawa is not in a hurry to sign the two of them right now.

Since these three people have to stand together, they must sign the same contract. If conflicts arise after signing the contract, it will be a headache if someone chooses to leave the team.

Hoshikawa Taku looked at the two and said, "Don't rush the signing. Once I convince An and Subaru, the three of you can sign together. For now, just treat yourself as an artist at the agency and get familiar with the environment here."

Momoka and Nina looked at each other, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.

"Does that mean we can use all the equipment in the office for free?"

"of course."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded with a smile, "Xiaozhi and Lupa are on vacation for the next two days. When they come back, let them show you around the equipment here. You can use the recording studio and practice room freely."

Both of them smiled happily upon hearing this. Renai grabbed Momoka's hand and said excitedly, "That's great, Momoka! From now on, we won't have to spend money to rent a practice room just for practice! We can save a lot of money!"

Putting An and Subaru aside, Momoka and Nina are both “poor buddies” with very poor financial conditions.

Playing in a band costs a lot of money, so every penny saved counts.

Hoshikawa Taku then asked, "Do you two have part-time jobs? If so, it would be best if you quit. After all, you'll be professional musicians soon, and part-time jobs would be too inefficient."

Human energy is limited.

Not everyone can be like Xiangzi, who attends classes during the day, works in the afternoon, and practices composing new songs at night.

Taoxiang was the first to shake her head: "I don't have any other job. I usually make a living by singing. I can stop at any time and devote myself to the band."

Hoshikawa Taku looked at Nina, but her expression was a little unnatural and her eyes dodged for a moment.

"Nina, do you have any questions?"

Renai was a little embarrassed and was hesitating about how to start the conversation, but Momoka had already said it for her jokingly.

"Actually, this girl is attending a cram school and wants to go to university, but she skips classes every day and basically doesn't go to cram school anymore. She skipped today's cram school too."

Renai blushed and immediately retorted, "No way! I'm not skipping classes. I've already decided not to go to university or take cram school!"

"Are you sure?"

Hoshikawa Taku's tone suddenly became serious, and he reminded her, "Actually, going to college is also a good choice. If you miss this opportunity, your academic qualifications will be limited to high school graduation."

"Graduate from high school and you're done!"

Renai's tone was incredibly firm, "I've made up my mind! I want to focus on my band. Going to college is a complete waste of time!"

There was a rare seriousness in her eyes, revealing her persistence in the future.

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that Nina was so determined in her plan.

In fact, Rencai's considerations do have some basis in reality.

If she really wants to make band her career in the future, then college life is indeed an unnecessary process for her.

A college degree sounds great, but if you don't pursue a career related to your major or enter a field with a high barrier to entry, it won't be very useful for finding a job after graduation. Your salary will still be around 3,000, and you'll have to learn everything all over again. Especially for something like music, if you don't go to a specialized music university, you might as well just pursue it full-time.

Since she had made her decision, Hoshikawa Takuya no longer "persuaded her to study".

"I respect your opinion, but do your parents agree?"

Rencai's expression suddenly turned colder, and a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of her mouth. She snorted, "I'm almost an adult. I can decide my own future. I don't need them to interfere."

"So, you're relying on yourself for living expenses now?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her with interest.

Rencai's expression froze instantly, and her tone softened: "Uh...that's not the case. I still use the pocket money my family gives me."

Xingchuan Taku couldn't help laughing: "Oh? Didn't you say you were independent?"
