Chapter 1796: Chapter 1643: Stylist 19 (4,000 Words)
Tao Shuangshuang was too surprised. Unexpectedly, what surprised her even more was that the celebrity who came to her for a makeover this time wasn’t a female star, but a male star—a currently popular leading actor.
This popular leading actor is named Xiao Hexuan. Tao Shuangshuang doesn’t know how Xiao Hexuan found out about her, but he had specifically asked her to style him.
Xiao Hexuan drove over early in the morning, with just one assistant. When he got out of the car, he wore a hat and mask, covering himself tightly, and sneaked quickly into the studio like a thief.
The staff inside the studio had been instructed by Zhou Wensheng in advance, so although some were excited about the arrival of a big star like Xiao Hexuan, no one rushed him for autographs; everyone remained relatively calm.
Once Xiao Hexuan arrived, he went straight into the makeup room. Tao Shuangshuang, being the stylist he designated, entered the room together with Zhou Wensheng.
When Tao Shuangshuang went in, Xiao Hexuan had already taken off his mask, revealing his makeup-free face.
The popular young talents in the entertainment industry basically follow the pretty-boy route. It can’t be helped; the general aesthetic preference of girls nowadays is like this.
So, whether or not their looks are soft, they have to move in this direction.
Xiao Hexuan’s appearance is very appealing, even without makeup it’s captivating; it’s completely the type of look that modern girls like.
Tao Shuangshuang walked up to Xiao Hexuan, extending her hand with a standard smile to greet him: "Hello, I’m Tao Shuangshuang."
Xiao Hexuan extended his hand to shake hers, politely releasing it immediately after, with a brilliant smile on his face: "Hello, you’re so beautiful, it’s a pity you’re not in the entertainment industry."
Tao Shuangshuang has never been ordinary in terms of looks, this lifetime is no exception, and combined with her exceptional temperament, she’s indeed very suitable for being a star.
However, Tao Shuangshuang has little interest in the entertainment industry. If not for the obsession carried over from a past life, she wouldn’t bother getting herself into the trouble of living in the limelight as a celebrity with no privacy.
Tao Shuangshuang chuckled: "Someone talented like Mr. Xiao belongs in the entertainment industry. I don’t have that ability. What style of look does Mr. Xiao want?"
Xiao Hexuan didn’t answer Tao Shuangshuang but instead brought up another topic.
"Are you particularly curious about how I came to know you? And even specifically chose you to style me?"
Tao Shuangshuang didn’t expect Xiao Hexuan to discuss this topic. She hesitated slightly before nodding. Indeed, she was curious.
Xiao Hexuan placed a hand on the back of the chair, and his body turned half a circle with the chair: "I found out about you from Sister Wang. At yesterday’s dinner, you styled Sister Wang, right? I was there too.
Sister Wang really changed a lot. I heard their marital relationship improved because of a change in style. I asked around and found out it was you who helped her with her styling, which made me want to find you."
With Xiao Hexuan saying this, Tao Shuangshuang understood. This big client came because of what I previously did.
Tao Shuangshuang quickly filtered through Xiao Hexuan’s information in her mind. Being a stylist involves dealings with the fashion circle, and who are the people indispensable in the fashion circle? It’s these stars—they’re the trendsetters.
In her role as a stylist, Tao Shuangshuang serves mostly models and actors in the fashion circle, so she knows quite a few stars.
Xiao Hexuan, now twenty-five years old, has been in the industry for quite a while, a whole ten years, having debuted at fifteen as the lead singer of a boy band, but had always been lukewarm.
It was only two years ago that Xiao Hexuan starred in a period idol drama and became famous, directly becoming a top stream lead. It’s been two years now, and he’s still very popular.
However, fans are the longest-lasting yet also the most forgetful group. Xiao Hexuan has been extremely popular for two years now. Although fans still like him, their previous frenzy has started to fade into rational fondness.
And in the entertainment industry, relying on the image of an idol drama male lead alone won’t last long. This circle is filled with stunning men and women. Without unique traits, sooner or later, someone else will replace you.
Ultimately, those who can last in the entertainment industry and not fall prematurely, all walk the path from idol to powerhouse.
Xiao Hexuan is now at a critical transition period. His previous image had always been that of a pretty boy. Now he wants to make a transition, but two consecutive attempts at transition roles have failed.
