Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

[Fashion Styling Master]: The host can create the perfect look for artists at various performances and events. Whether it's clothing, makeup design, or hair care, the host can accurately create stunning visual effects based on the artist's personality, image needs, and current fashion trends.

Although "makeup" and "styling" are often mentioned together, they are actually two different positions with different focuses.

Makeup artists mainly focus on applying makeup to the face, giving it a flawless look.

The stylist is responsible for the overall styling design, ensuring that the image from head to toe fully meets the needs of the specific occasion and ensuring that the artist maintains the best image.

Makeup artists focus on technology, while stylists focus on design. From a professional perspective, we need to recruit two different talents.

That’s what they say, but when recruiting, stylists and makeup artists are usually equated, and one position requires multiple roles.

It's like hiring a photographer, who has to be responsible for multiple tasks including shooting, editing, retouching, copywriting, etc., but can only get paid one salary.

For an idol agency, a makeup artist is definitely an indispensable position.

They are responsible for creating and maintaining the overall image of the idol. They would rather have nothing than have someone of poor quality and cannot compromise like recruiting, planning and operating.

Originally, Taku Hoshikawa was thinking of spending a lot of money to hire a professional, but he didn't expect that he would have acquired this ability now.

This saves me some money again.

Before Taku Hoshikawa could be happy for a few seconds, the system's indoctrination came unexpectedly.

He barely had time to react before he felt a strange yet familiar memory begin to flood into his mind, and the system continuously input makeup-related knowledge and skills into his consciousness.

Eyeliner, foundation, lipstick, blush...

These cosmetics that Taku Hoshikawa had never touched before were now written in his mind like a list, and he instantly understood the best way to use these cosmetics.

He could accurately simulate every layer of foundation and every stroke of eyeliner in his mind, and understood how to transform a person's face through delicate modifications, even creating a completely different look...

Then, another wave of memories flooded into his mind, bringing with it design techniques related to styling.

Hoshikawa Taku seemed to be able to see exquisite stage costumes emerging in his mind. He easily mastered each design from style to color, material to details.

He began to understand how light and shadow were combined with costumes, and the role of every decoration and prop on the stage...

Those mysterious areas that he once thought would never be related to him have now become so intuitive and clear.

When Taku Hoshikawa opened his eyes again, he had become a styling master with thirty or forty years of makeup experience, although he was only twenty years old.

When Hoshikawa Taku raised his head again and looked at Lupa and Xiaozhi in front of him, his eyes involuntarily swept across their faces and he began to analyze their makeup in his mind.

He noticed that Xiaozhi seemed to be trying to act like an adult, and she had a makeup on her face that was more mature and stable than her age.

Through the delicate modification of her eyebrows and eyes, her face has a more three-dimensional sense. However, even so, she only looks like she is in her early twenties instead of sixteen or seventeen years old, and still looks very young.

In contrast, Lupa's makeup is simpler and more natural. The light makeup makes her whole face look fresh and energetic, showing a vitality and natural beauty.

It turns out that their personality and thoughts can be reflected by their makeup.

Taku Hoshikawa felt like he had opened the door to a new world, one he had never thought about from this perspective before.

This is all thanks to the system. If it weren't for the skills provided by the system, he might never have come into contact with the mysterious field of makeup.

"Manager, why are you staring at me?"

Xiaozhi noticed that Hoshikawa Taku was looking at her. She thought that Hoshikawa Taku regretted signing her and wanted to go back on his word, so she quickly said:

"Manager, I've already signed the contract. According to the terms of the contract, as long as I don't do anything to breach the contract, you can't terminate the contract with me, and you have to provide me with sufficient resources every year!"

The contract clearly states the obligations that the agency needs to fulfill. The agency must provide the contracted artists with a certain amount of resources every year, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract by the agency, even if the artist chooses to file a lawsuit to terminate the contract early.

It sounds like this is a policy to protect artists and allow them to work with the agency on an equal footing.

But in reality, the firm has complete control over the initiative.

"Resources" are also divided into different levels. The announcements of popular programs are completely different from those of late-night local programs. As long as the agency wants to, there are plenty of ways to mess with the artists and "freeze" them in various ways.

Xiaozhi was worried that Taku Hoshikawa would turn his back on her and change his mind after she signed the "indenture".

But she was totally overthinking it. Hoshikawa Taku still wanted to use her and Lupa, two useful tools, to make money for him. How could he possibly hide them?

Hoshikawa Taku said with a smile, "Xiaozhi, I was actually looking at your makeup just now. Your makeup is too mature and it doesn't suit you. It would be better for you to wear makeup that looks cute and girly in the future. This is my professional advice as your agent."

Oh, Xiaozhi then realized that from now on, Taku Hoshikawa is their agent, just like what Shoko Toyokawa called him.

However, she still felt that the title of manager was more comfortable to her and she had no intention of changing it.

She said unconvincedly, "Manager, how do you know how to put on makeup? I spent over half an hour this morning putting on this makeup look. I learned how to do it for commuting from the famous beauty blogger 'Miao Mengqin'!"

Chapter 97: Anno, why is your head pointed?

"Meow Dream Kiss"?

Hoshikawa Taku was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to hear her name from Xiaozhi's mouth.

Meow Mengqin is Yutenji Wakamugi, a beauty blogger and Toyokawa Shoko's original future teammate.

In fact, I have come across Hoshikawa Taku when watching videos these days. She likes to ride on the popularity of others and always imitates some hot topics by doing some makeup.

She has a good figure and is tall. With her daily makeup, she looks like a working person, at least in her twenties.

However, Hoshikawa Taku saw her self-introduction in her earliest video, which said that she was still a junior high school student at that time. If you convert the time, she is still an underage high school student now.

Her makeup plays a big role in making a high school student look like a working person.

Hoshikawa Taku said speechlessly, "You're only sixteen. Why are you trying to pretend to be mature by wearing commuting makeup? Being an underage idol is a selling point. Change this makeup tomorrow, or I'll do your makeup myself."

"Oh……"

Xiaozhi was a little dissatisfied, but since Taku Hoshikawa was her boss, she had no choice but to nod obediently.

"Um...Manager, I'm a little uncomfortable. Can I go out for a while?"

Suddenly, Lupa spoke up with a red face.

In fact, just now, Lupa felt an indescribable heat spreading through his originally calm body.

The warmth quietly rose from the body, as if every inch of skin was slightly hot, and a faint feeling of dampness appeared.

She tried her best to appear natural, slightly raised her chin, and forced herself to maintain a calm demeanor, but she really couldn't bear it anymore. She felt that the feeling of heat was getting worse and worse.

If she continued, she was really worried that she would not be able to help but scream out.

Hoshikawa Taku almost forgot that it was not only him who received the system reward, but also Lupa and Xiaozhi.

After receiving rewards from the system, the system will subtly change their bodies.

Because Xiaozhi signed the contract a little later, her reaction has not been as big as Lupa's, but she should have been affected as well.

Hoshikawa Taku observed Xiaozhi again and found that her cheeks were slightly flushed and her thighs were rubbing against each other unconsciously, as if to relieve the gradually increasing heat.

"Are you two too excited about signing the contract? Why don't you take a break for a while? I'll talk to you in detail later."

After hearing what Hoshikawa Taku said, Xiaozhi felt as if he had been pardoned. He stood up first and ran out of the office before Lupa.

Lupa was stunned for a moment, and after bowing to Taku Hoshikawa, he also hurriedly left, covering his mouth, for fear that he would make a rude groan.

Taking this opportunity, Takuya Hoshikawa took a look at the rewards that Lupa and Xiaozhi had obtained.

Because the contracts they signed were more unscrupulous, the unscrupulousness value increased to 64%, and they received more rewards than Toyokawa Shoko.

In addition to a 30% increase in training efficiency and a 20% increase in stress tolerance, they will also experience an additional 30% reduction in fatigue.

When seeing this extra reward, Taku Hoshikawa was actually a little amused.

It was difficult for him to say whether this reward was good or bad.

From a positive perspective, they can be more focused, but from a negative perspective, can't they devote themselves to work longer than others?

They are simply "natural born holy bodies of oxen and horses". It would be a waste of their talents if I didn't use them more frequently.

Then there are the hidden feature rewards for both of them.

Lupa received the [Team Healer]

Team Healer: Rupa gains the ability to soothe her team. Her presence reassures them when they're nervous, anxious, or exhausted. Whether it's a rehearsal argument or pre-performance jitters, she can calm them down and keep them performing at their best.

Xiaozhi gained the [Discerning Eyes]

[A Discerning Eye]: Satoshi Ebizuka possesses exceptionally keen artistic perception. She can quickly spot subtle flaws in stage performances, song arrangements, costumes, and other aspects, and offer precise optimization suggestions.

With Lupa around, it is unlikely that a team will have "locker room conflicts."

Xiaozhi's ability is more focused on creation, and he can use his discerning eyes to elevate the quality of a song to a higher level.

There is no distinction between strong and weak characteristics. Each one is an ability tailored for them, and each one is very useful in the eyes of Taku Hoshikawa.

Because of the increase in his black heart value, Taku Hoshikawa also received more funds, and obtained another 1400 million yen in one go.

Adding the 900 million yen he received from Sumimi's agent and the bonus for signing Shoko and the others, Hoshikawa Taku now has over 3000 million yen on hand.

It has to be a system reward. If Taku Hoshikawa had so much money before, he wouldn't have been so stingy when recruiting.

Then, there is the last reward.

When signing the contract with Xiangzi and the others before, Hoshikawa Taku obtained special resources, but this time, it seems that because of the increase in his black heart value, it has become a special prop.

Hoshikawa Taku curiously clicked on the introduction of the props.

[Physical Fitness Potion]: By taking it daily, the potion will gradually improve the host's muscle strength, endurance, speed, flexibility and other physical indicators within a month, eventually bringing the host's physical fitness to a level close to that of an athlete, improving their performance in various physically demanding activities.

Warm reminder: The continued effect of the drug will not have a negative impact on the body, but the host needs to maintain proper training and diet after the drug effect ends to ensure that physical fitness remains at a good level.

Hoshikawa Taku's eyes suddenly lit up.

It turned out to be a strengthening potion that could improve one's physical fitness. This was what one had always dreamed of!

Taku Hoshikawa is quite satisfied with his body. Although it is not healthy, it is at the normal level.

But he was always worried that he might die suddenly from drinking. He also didn't have time to go to the gym to exercise. He had finally made it through, and it would be a laughing stock if he died because of his poor physical fitness.

Now that he has obtained the physical strengthening potion, he can greatly improve his physical fitness without pain or side effects!

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

He doesn't need to worry about whether his head will be pointy.

Then, there is the second special item reward.

[First Aid Kit]: The first aid kit is an extremely valuable and high-tech emergency rescue tool that can stabilize the victim's vital signs in a very short time. Whether it is severe injury and blood loss, organ failure, or the sudden onset of acute illness, the first aid kit can stabilize the victim in a short time and prolong his life until further treatment is obtained.

The second special item, the medical first aid kit, is not available to Taku Hoshikawa for the time being, but it is also a treasure in the absolute sense.

Things that can save lives are of course precious. To some extent, they are even more valuable than physical fitness-enhancing potions.

All the things he got after signing the contract with the artist were good things, and every one of them made Hoshikawa Taku satisfied.

He is already thinking about how to sign the next artist.

……

At the same time, in a livehouse called RING, Chihaya Aine was proudly telling her "temporary teammates" about her experience of watching a concert yesterday and getting Sumimi's autograph.

She thought she would receive envious looks from others, but except for Takamatsu Deng, the others were not interested in her experience.

Even Nagasaki Suyo, who was always gentle to her, seemed to be listening, but in fact, no one knew what she was thinking about.

Is the topic I'm talking about so boring...

Chihaya Aine suddenly spoke up, "Actually, at the concert last night, I saw Toyokawa Shoko. She was right next to the staff member who gave me the autograph. I wonder what their relationship is..."

When they heard the name "Toyokawa Shoko", everyone except Kaname Rakuna who was eating parfait, Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Touma, and Shiina Tachibana all raised their heads.

Among them, Nagasaki Suyo had the biggest reaction.

She suddenly grabbed Chihaya Aine's shoulders and shouted anxiously, "Where is Xiangzi? Who is she with?!"

……

Ps: After watching the latest episode of Mujica, I can only say that Saint Aine is great.

Chapter 98: Lupa, the God of Cars of Akina Mountain.

Chihaya Aine originally planned to use the topic of "Toyokawa Shoko" to attract everyone's attention, but she did not expect that Nagasaki Suyo's reaction would be so intense.

On weekdays, Su Shi always has a gentle smile and looks calm. No matter what situation he faces, he can always remain calm.

But at this moment, her usually gentle eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

what.

It turns out... Su Shi also has this worried expression.
