Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

Hearing him say that, Li Xiang was indeed stunned. He didn't expect that this unruly Teacher Wang would actually go to such lengths.

But now was clearly not the time to think about it. He quickly extended his hand and shook hands with Editor-in-Chief Jiang Ming, his voice steady: "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Jiang, I am actor Li Xiang."

The response from the other end was rather cold, even surprisingly sharp: "You're welcome. I also hope you can live up to the expectations of so many people."

Wang Ya naturally sensed the tension in their words and understood the reason behind it, so she quickly pulled Li Xiang aside as if to smooth things over:

"Come on, let me show you today's look." With that, he glanced at Jiang Ming and led Li Xiang inside.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he entered a room filled with clothes and said to Li Xiang, "Don't take it to heart. He's known for being strict, and he's like that to everyone."

If you perform well for a while, he won't have anything to say.

Actually, it's partly my fault. I disrupted his original plans; the cover for October's issue had already been decided... Sigh, let's not talk about that now.

Now that things have come to this point, is there anything Li Xiang doesn't understand?

Such a large magazine giving up a cover issue for no reason must have involved a lot of competition behind the scenes; it might have been a resource snatched from some celebrity or model.

Those whose plans were disrupted were naturally unhappy.

He wasn't ashamed of it at all—because that's how the entertainment industry is; resources flow, and everyone relies on their own abilities.

Moreover, having already done it once during filming, she was naturally very skilled and had no psychological burden whatsoever.

He felt no pressure because he firmly believed he would become famous in the future...

But Sister Zhou and Xiao Jiang behind him didn't think so. After all, how many people who make it to the cover of a magazine are easy to get along with?

Compared to the slightly tense expressions of the two, Li Xiang, who remained calm, naturally stood out, earning a silent nod of approval from the renowned stylist Wang Ya.

I realized I hadn't misjudged him; he's a very composed person.

He had initially worried that Li Xiang might get stage fright, but seeing his composure now, he didn't say anything more.

He then deliberately changed the subject and carefully observed Li Xiang's condition today.

He was so focused on defusing the awkward situation that he only noticed Li Xiang's hairstyle then—

It's a combination of Crew Cut and Ivy League styles, exuding a casual and clean look that subtly echoes the theme of this issue of the magazine.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up, and inspiration struck instantly. Without saying a word, she dragged Li Xiang to pick out clothes.

From the tailoring of the coat to the details of the inner layer, and then to the subsequent makeup and styling, this renowned stylist did everything himself without relying on anyone else.

After everything was ready, the group left the dressing room and arrived at the filming location, where Jiang Ming had already left.

Instead, a young man in his early twenties was there, checking the procedures with the photographer.

Indeed, for an editor-in-chief, simply showing up and saying hello is already a great honor.

He's no longer a big name in the industry, so there's no need for the editor-in-chief to keep an eye on things from start to finish; his team is in charge of managing everything.

The photographer was a middle-aged man with a thick beard. When he saw them come out, he didn't act arrogantly as expected; instead, he waved his camera in a friendly manner.

"The theme for this episode is 'Brilliant Stars,' now it's up to Teacher Li to shine."

Li Xiang already knew the theme while getting her makeup done, so she was prepared and not too nervous.

He first tried a few poses that he thought were fairly handsome, and the photographer opposite him didn't say much, just kept pressing the shutter and dutifully taking pictures.

As he took the photos, he gradually began to clear his mind, recalling those fashion editorials he had seen in his previous life—

Clothing is the skeleton; what truly attracts people is the model's posture and the charm conveyed in their eyes.

Thinking about this, an idea suddenly struck me.

So he stopped posing and just leaned casually against the backdrop, looking out into the void beyond the camera lens, revealing a nonchalant detachment.

Sometimes she would slightly raise her chin, a half-smile playing on her lips, alternately displaying emotions such as sharpness, stubbornness, and indifference...

Film is a dynamic art form that relies on plot and performance to convey emotions;

A photograph, on the other hand, is a static treasure, requiring the perfect presentation of all the content one wishes to express in an instant.

Teacher Wang, who was standing to the side, looked on with delight and nodded repeatedly.

Even Jiang Ming, who had been hiding in the shadows and hadn't made a sound, looked much more relaxed than when they first met, and his eyes showed more seriousness.

The filming continued until late at night, only ending close to midnight.

Li Xiangheng couldn't remember exactly how many outfits he changed into; he only felt that his whole body was stiff and uncomfortable.

After the filming ended, the group walked together to the underground parking lot.

Once everyone was alone, Teacher Wang patted his arm, her voice filled with genuine joy:

"You've really given me a big surprise! I didn't expect your fashion sense to be so strong, and the level of completion to be so high."

From the very beginning, I felt that with your looks and personality, you were destined for success. Now it seems my judgment was spot on, haha.

After spending the night together, Li Xiang and Wang Ya were no longer as awkward as when they first met, and they spoke much more casually.

So he quickly waved his hand with a smile: "Teacher Wang, please don't praise me anymore, or I'll get so cocky."

Wang Ya was amused: "Why call me Teacher Wang? We seem to get along quite well, so I'll allow you to call me Brother Wang, okay?"

Li Xiang, seizing the opportunity, laughed heartily and said, "That's great! From now on, you're my Brother Wang!"

"Hey, you won't let me call you 'brother' for nothing." Wang Ya's smile deepened.

"Based on your fashion sense today, I'll definitely keep an eye out for more fashion resources for you in the future."

Once your movie is released, you'll probably get a lot of business deals. I have a lot of connections in the fashion industry, so I can give you some advice then.

And don't be shy about the various ceremonies and events; I'll find you some luxury brand clothing then, guaranteed to make you look presentable.

Sister Zhou, who was standing nearby, beamed with joy and quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much, Teacher Wang!"

"What are you thanking me for? I've already considered Li Xiang my younger brother, this is nothing. To be honest, I really think highly of this kid's future."

No matter how great the stylist is, they still need the star to shine. We've both benefited, right, bro?

Li Xiang smiled and nodded: "That's right, from now on I'll rely entirely on your brother Wang's help."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the night grew deep, and they said their goodbyes.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed, "I'll arrange a few outfits for you in a couple of days, so you can wear them during the movie's promotional tour. I'll have them delivered to you then."

Li Xiang was even happier that he didn't have to worry about the outfits for the roadshow, and he quickly showered his newly recognized older brother with sweet talk.
