Chapter 1798: Chapter 1643: Stylist 19 [4,000 Words]_3
Then I’ll create a modern, cultured style for you, though this transformation requires a strong cultural foundation. I remember you excel in calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting, and your skills are quite good.
These two advantages are great and make your transition less abrupt. With some guidance, fans should accept this as your natural character."
There’s something Tao Shuangshuang didn’t say: if you transform like this, the previous persona of Xiao Hexuan can be attributed to the company’s crafted image.
As long as Xiao Hexuan’s company takes the initiative, guiding public opinion to let fans discover gradually that Xiao Hexuan is indeed like this.
The method of subtle influence, allowing fans to adjust their impression of Xiao Hexuan smoothly, is more acceptable to the fans and ensures a successful transition compared to forcing a style change.
Afterwards, Xiao Hexuan should take on roles with cultured personas, showcasing his acting skills and completing the transition from idol to power actor.
Xiao Hexuan is no fool. Although Tao Shuangshuang didn’t finish speaking, Xiao Hexuan figured it out, and his eyes lit up.
Xiao Hexuan looked at Tao Shuangshuang with bright eyes, the smile on his face becoming more sincere: "Since I came to you, I trust your skills. Let’s follow your plan and first help me with a Wei Jin style look."
Tao Shuangshuang agreed and went to find some clothes, but the first challenge emerged—the quality of the studio’s clothes was poor, lacking the necessary drape.
Wei Jin scholars liked spacious, long robes, and without sufficient drapery, such clothes would look unattractive.
Xiao Hexuan noticed Tao Shuangshuang’s frowning face while looking at the clothes and was a bit nervous: "What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"
Tao Shuangshuang sighed, a bit troubled: "The quality of the clothes isn’t good; it would affect the photo shoot."
Xiao Hexuan laughed: "Ah, that’s a minor issue. You start with my makeup, and I happen to have acquaintances in S City. I’ll make a call to borrow an outfit."
After saying that, Xiao Hexuan took out his phone and dialed a number. In less than five minutes, the matter was resolved. He put down the phone and smiled at Tao Shuangshuang: "In two hours, someone will bring the clothes over. Let’s do the makeup now."
He truly is a popular actor with broad connections, solving the biggest challenge with ease. Tao Shuangshuang opened the makeup kit and started doing Xiao Hexuan’s makeup.
In the past, Xiao Hexuan’s makeup was usually quite bold, often using rose-colored eyeshadow. This time, Tao Shuangshuang gave him a light makeup, making him look very refreshing.
Next was the hair. For the ancient style, a wig was needed, which took quite some time. By the time Tao Shuangshuang finished Xiao Hexuan’s hair, the person delivering the clothes arrived.
Tao Shuangshuang opened the clothes and inspected them; they brought three sets—one black, one deep purple, and one white.
Considerately, the person also delivered matching accessories along with the clothes.
Once dressed, the photography was Zhou Wensheng’s responsibility.
Zhou Wensheng’s photography skills were impeccable; the photos were stunning, appearing as if a genuine Wei Jin gentleman was present.
In recent years, Xiao Hexuan had been honing his acting skills, combined with his calligraphy and traditional painting studies, already possessing a scholarly aura. When photos captured him holding a brush, it was truly mesmerizing.
While Zhou Wensheng took photos of Xiao Hexuan, Tao Shuangshuang mentally reviewed various men’s apparel from different boutiques and wrote notes for Xiao Hexuan’s assistant to buy them.
Once Xiao Hexuan’s traditional costume photos were finished, the clothes Tao Shuangshuang requested were brought back by Xiao Hexuan’s assistant.
This time, Tao Shuangshuang chose five outfits in total, along with matching shoes, belts, watches, and other men’s accessories. Then she styled Xiao Hexuan’s hair straight.
Previously, Xiao Hexuan’s hairstyle was curly, looking stylish and flamboyant. This time, Tao Shuangshuang straightened his hair.
She then blew the hair at the crown to be fluffy, extended the sideburns to cover the sides of the ears, and slightly curled the rest of the hair in a gentle curve that fell softly.
The outfit was a cream-colored three-piece suit, with specially prepared accessories like a watch and belt. This ensemble exuded gentlemanly grace within an elegant style, distinct from Xiao Hexuan’s past image.
Then came more photo shoots, changing outfits and styles, followed by more photoshoots. Tao Shuangshuang accompanied Xiao Hexuan from morning until nightfall, even having a quick lunch—just two buns.
Thankfully, the day’s hard work paid off. After Xiao Hexuan left satisfied, Tao Shuangshuang received a hefty reward of fifty thousand yuan, the most she ever earned at once. She preferred generous clients like this.
