I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

Kazuya Nakahara touched his chest. Just then, the bearded man next to him suddenly stood up and stared at Yu Genkawa with shining eyes.

"Zhongyuan, who is this?"

“My artist, Genkawa Yu.”

"Don't you think he'd be perfect to come with me to save the day?"

"Huh?"

Kazuya Nakahara was taken aback at first, but after he realized what was happening, a look of sudden understanding immediately appeared on his face.

"Yuanchuan, there's a job available right now. I wonder if you'd be willing to take it?"

What kind of job?

"Shooting a magazine cover."

"And the payment?"

Yuan Chuan You wouldn't ask why he was suddenly given work today; as long as he was paid, he would do any job.

"The pay is very high, you can rest assured about that."

The bearded man next to him slapped his thigh and laughed, "But we'll settle the payment after the shoot. This magazine cover is very important; if it's not done well, it might affect the magazine's sales."

“I can take it.”

"That's good. But I want to remind you that you should be mentally prepared. This job involves shooting a double cover with a female model, and the theme is 'Winter Lovers'."

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star: Chapter Seventeen - I Must Assemble the Troops Immediately!

Shooting a magazine cover is no easy task.

Because magazines are purely commodities, there are many industry requirements and rules to follow when shooting them.

For example, clothing and makeup must not clash with other magazines published at the same time, and the poses and hairstyles used in the photos must not be offensive or plagiarized. Only when all of these are coordinated to the most perfect state can the next step of the printing process begin.

Ryu Odagiri is a very senior photography director at Hoshino Entertainment. He was really looking forward to shooting a perfect winter cover today, but the male artist originally scheduled for the shoot suddenly had an accident and is now in the hospital, making it impossible to carry out normal photography work.

That's why he went to Hoshino Agency's headquarters to ask some familiar agents if they could temporarily transfer some suitable male artists to fill in.

After contacting several people, he was still not satisfied.

Although the theme of this cover shoot is "Winter Lovers," the more important aspect is to showcase the new winter couple accessories launched by "SIENA," the sponsor of this issue's cover.

This requires a model who looks quite fashionable and can create a good overall effect.

Yu Genkawa's current flaxen blonde hair has a warm tone, which, when paired with cool silver accessories, creates a great contrast between warm and cool colors, making it very eye-catching in print advertisements.

That's why when Odagiri first saw him, he immediately thought that the other person could come to the rescue.

On the other hand, Odagiri had already received a call from the client, who was to send the first draft of the final cut tonight, so he didn't have much time to pick and choose.

"Congratulations, Genkawa."

Kazuya Nakahara seemed to be in a good mood, with a relieved smile on his face. "Odagiri-san is the director who shoots the most commercials and magazines for the agency. If you can catch his eye, it will definitely be a great thing for you."

"Well, I see."

"Then let's hurry to the film set. Zhongyuan, you come too."

“I can’t go for the time being, so I’ll have to ask you, Odagiri-san, to take care of Genkawa,” Nakahara Kazuya shook his head. “I’m not Genkawa’s personal manager; I have other people’s matters to handle.”

"Haha, then please be more ambitious, Genkawa-kun. As your fame grows, the agency will definitely make Nakahara your full-time manager."

The bearded man wearing a hat laughed and patted Genkawa Yu on the shoulder, displaying a generous and bossy demeanor.

"I will work hard."

The handsome young man neither agreed nor disagreed with the suggestion, but nodded with a smile.

"Let's go then. The drive there will take about half an hour."

"it is good."

Meaning zero? Billion instruments? (Unintelligible characters)

Pushing open the studio door, Genkawa Yu immediately felt a gust of cold wind rush in from behind him. He wrapped himself tightly in the black down jacket that Nakahara Kazuya had just given him, and his flaxen blonde hair stood out conspicuously under the studio's bright lights.

The two walked in together, and the photography assistant who was waiting inside immediately ran up to them.

"Odagiri-san, you've finally arrived!"

"what happened?"

Seeing his assistant's flustered expression, Odagiri Ryu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Mr. Odagiri, the company just called to say that the female model you booked a couple of days ago can't come to the shoot."

The photography assistant looked pale. He hadn't expected that two unexpected things would happen at the same time. It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

"Why? What happened to Dongyun-san?"

Odagiri Ryu's face instantly turned ferocious, and his suppressed roar echoed in the empty studio.

The next second, the assistant nervously handed over the tablet, which displayed a trending Twitter topic with a burning flame icon.

#Popular model Ayano Shinonome's nightclub scandal exposed#

The model who was supposed to be shooting today was photographed walking out of a nightclub hand in hand with a married producer. The comments section below was filled with messages of retirement and apology.

"Shinonome-san...last night at midnight, she was seen walking hand-in-hand with a man out of a late-night bar, and then Bunshun took photos of them..."

"You bastard!!!"

Ryu Odagiri ripped off his beret and slammed it to the ground. He paced back and forth on set, digging his fingers deep into his short, gray hair, his leather shoes clicking rapidly on the floor.

"The costumes, venue, and lighting are all ready. Where am I supposed to find people on short notice?"

He cursed through gritted teeth, and after a while, he suddenly stopped and looked at Genkawa Yu, who was standing behind him with a blank expression.

"Mr. Genkawa, do you know any outstanding female celebrities? Could you recommend one who is available today?"

"Well..."

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment, and the next moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he took out his phone and entered the LINE page.

Five minutes later, he looked at Odagiri Ryu's expectant face.

"I know an artist who happens to be free today, her name is Akane Kurokawa."

"Kurokawa Akane... isn't she the actress who was selected for '49' along with you, Genkawa-kun?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... Akane Kurokawa... I think she's a stage actress, right?"

After all, Ryu Odagiri had been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years. He had a good memory and had seen many stage performances, so he had heard of the genius of the LALALAI theater troupe.

"You know her?"

"If it were a stage actor, maybe we could manage..."

Odagiri thought silently to himself that he had no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

"Yuanchuan, please tell her quickly, we don't have much time left for filming."

"it is good."

More than forty minutes later, Akane Kurokawa, wearing a black coat, jogged into the studio.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her breathing was a little rapid, clearly indicating that she had rushed here. After standing still, the girl's gaze immediately locked onto Genkawa Yu, who was standing to the side.

Then, her eyes lit up instantly, like a lake reflecting starlight.

"Mr. Genkawa, I've arrived."

"Hmm, Kurokawa-san, let me introduce you. This is the director of today's filming, Odagiri-san."

Genkawa Yu introduced Odagiri Ryu to him with a gentle smile on his face.

“Okay, hello Odagiri-san, I’m Akane Kurokawa, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

She bowed deeply, after all, the agency couldn't offer this kind of magazine cover business. After receiving the LINE text message from Genkawa Yu, Kurokawa Akane was genuinely happy, since magazine cover exposure is a very good resource.

"It's alright, it's alright. This time, Kurokawa-san came to help, so I should be the one thanking you."

The middle-aged director of photography had a gentle demeanor. Having been immersed in the entertainment industry for so long, he had developed a very sharp eye.

Just as Kurokawa Akane walked in, Odagiri Ryu immediately noticed something—the girl's gaze kept lingering on Genkawa Yu, her bright eyes filled with undisguised joy.

Then, the director of photography calmly glanced at the handsome Genkawa Yu standing on the other side, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

hum.

You delivered this to your doorstep yourselves.

For the upcoming couple's cover, I must arrange the most effective intimate poses for you!

Volume 1 The Shining Morning Star: Chapter 18 Couple Cover - Sticking Together is the Key to Productivity!

On the set of a magazine photoshoot, Genkawa Yu sat in front of the makeup table, being handled by the makeup artist.

In addition to the makeup artist, a female assistant came over with the costumes needed for the shoot. The two women surrounded him, making the most of their time to prepare for the shoot.

"Mr. Genkawa has great skin. Do you often go to the beauty salon for treatments?"

Staring at Genkawa Yu's handsome and elegant profile, the makeup artist smiled sweetly.

"You flatter me. I'm just average. I don't usually go to beauty salons."

Perhaps everyone in the beauty and hairdressing industry has a naturally talkative personality. Yuan Chuanyou casually chimed in with the conversation, waiting for the makeup to finish.

Forty minutes later, after changing his clothes, Genkawa Yu stared at the mirror, where a handsome and fashionable young man was reflected.

He wore a dark blue jacket over a pure white turtleneck sweater, paired with navy blue trousers and black Martin boots. He looked both composed and warm, like a male protagonist straight out of a winter romance movie.

"So cool! Genkawa-san, your outfit will definitely attract a lot of women to buy the magazine, it's sure to be a bestseller!"

"Yes, yes, I'll buy a copy when it's released."
