Chapter One: Unfulfilled Ambition

  A fierce battle, within a few days, spread throughout the fashion circle, famous and unknown, all came to join in, even the chairman of the board, entrusted someone to write an article, expressing strong support for the new style.

  As the central figure, Lin Xiao's name appears in every article at all times. Now, as long as you pay a little attention to the fashion circle, there is no one who does not know the name of Lin Xiao.

  The heat of the fashion circle naturally brought about a surge in the entertainment industry, print ads, and modeling companies' notifications, which flew over like snowflakes. Under Lin Xiao's repeated persuasion, CAMI finally agreed, except for not accepting big companies'.

  Nowadays, most advertisements are trying to borrow the popularity of Lin Xiao's rapid rise in fame to boost their reputation, but many of them are small companies, and not a few large companies are taking a wait-and-see attitude.

  Lin Xiao's popularity in the fashion circle finally caught the attention of the film and television industry after a few days of rapid explosion.

  "New King? New Generation Actor Lin Xiao Leads the Entertainment Circle's New Trend." Just six days after the release of three magazines, the first commentary from the art world finally came out, surprisingly not "Contemporary Film and Television", but Contemporary Music.

  The concert of the singer needs various characteristic eye-catching styles, and your makeup is undoubtedly just right for their taste. CAMI explained.

  Lin Xiao took a look, and on it, only a slight mention was made that Lin Xiao belonged to the film and television circle, but his five photos were greatly enlarged, neatly occupying an entire page!

  Veteran writer Zhao Shan said, "At a time when we all still remember the 99 Korean Wave invasion, newcomer Lin Xiao unhesitatingly told us that China also has its own FASHION. His photos received unanimous praise. Unlike the visual style of Japan and Korea, behind this flashy style lies the profoundness that is characteristic of China. As a veteran writer and journalist, I have not seen such stunning styling in years, so long that I've even forgotten how many years it's been."

  After the first shot was fired on the contemporary music scene, a representative of the film and television circle, the contemporary film industry finally couldn't hold back anymore. Anyway, Lin Xiao used to be in the music scene, but now he is also in the film industry.

  "Nowadays, my makeup artist is drawing fashionable makeup every day, the kind of makeup that Ruirui and others have on their covers. According to him, if you don't understand it, you can't keep up with the trend. Due to the special nature of their profession, they are destined to closely watch the fashion world, the entertainment circle and the fashion world, which is a conjoined twin."

  "I'm curious, who is that person? I happened to pick up a trendy magazine and took a look, only to find out it was a newcomer in the entertainment industry. This 20-year-old, who used to be a member of the boy band 'Heavenly Crystal', has actually started a new trend with his creative ideas!"

  "This trend is destined not to be used by ordinary people, but it doesn't hinder his popularity in the entertainment and fashion industries. As far as I know, now at least eight out of ten makeup artists are studying this trend. Of course, hairstylists are also studying it together with them. Even when I went to Taiwan a few days ago, local makeup artists asked me if I knew Lin Xiao."

  "This newcomer has already made a name for himself with his keen sense of fashion. I heard he's going to promote a new movie soon, and I'm really looking forward to it. Let's count how many artists have risen to fame this year... Huang Xiaoming, Song Qingming, etc., but none of them are like Lin Xiao, who has made a detour from the fashion circle to the film and television circle. But I also have to admire that this is indeed a shortcut! I predict that his salary will at least double."

  After the comments on contemporary music and film came out, Lin Xiao finally felt the pressure.

  It's still a week before Chen Jialin's news is released, but someone has already contacted CAMI to express their willingness to invite Lin Xiao to play the second male lead in a certain TV series.

  "Refuse, completely refuse." Lin Xiao said without hesitation. "Right now is the promotional period for both Shaolin Soccer and Kangxi Dynasty. There's no extra time, and besides, the current schedule will at least double after Shaolin Soccer comes out."

  "By the way, CAMI sister, how's the final statistics on the fashion side?"

  CAMI took a look at the book "The final statistics, 75% of core users think this wave is very successful. Although there are not many people, they represent the strongest consumption power in China's fashion industry, and even many of them have invested in film and record companies themselves. For example, Wang Jinghua, general manager of Orange Sky Entertainment, Long Danni, the big boss of Tianyu, and Wang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi, are all leaders in the fashion industry. It can be said that getting recognition from one of them is more valuable than getting recognition from 10,000 ordinary fashion enthusiasts!

  "Even people from Huayi called to ask about your schedule." CAMI sighed regretfully, "But you really don't have time recently."

  "Artists are like that, sometimes they suddenly become popular and you can't even think of it. But remember, success is easy... guarding the achievement is hard."

  Lin Xiao nodded in agreement with CAMI's words, he had seen too many stars rise and fall overnight in his previous life, and was deeply moved by these words.

  "It's good that you know." CAMI was very satisfied with Lin Xiao's understanding, and she continued to say while looking at the notebook "I took a look at the records, almost all of the well-known fashion leaders in the country are within these 75%, I dare say, they are now all paying attention to you, if you can come up with something that can be recommended, then 100% someone will come to poach you."

  She closed the book, smiled and said "How's that? Have you ever thought of converting? Just like the relationship between records and movies, although records have a higher exposure rate and are more famous, they absolutely don't make as much money as movies. Similarly, in the entertainment industry, unless you're a top movie star, the fashion circle will definitely make more money."

  "There isn't any yet." Lin Xiao said disbelievingly, "This time's trend, at least from the looks of it, won't increase my popularity by much."

  "Can't get any higher than this?!" CAMI tapped his forehead and said "Of course, compared to those who rose to fame overnight in the entertainment industry, it's a bit less. But you have to remember! The advantage of the fashion circle is that your fame is positioned among the social elite, whereas ordinary movie stars, even someone like Zhao Wei back in the day, most of their fans were students. Between these two, the former definitely has fewer numbers, but in other aspects, unless it's another ten years from now, the latter will be completely defeated!"

  She sighed and said, "Be content with what you have. The attention that is now focused on you, the names of those people can scare a group of big and small stars when mentioned. How many stars want to enter the fashion world after becoming famous, but are rejected? And with this reason, it will be much more convenient for you to interact in the future! Many plays that others cannot get, you may only need to open your mouth to get. Of course, this is after you have real power."

  Lin Xiao nodded, not saying much more. He knew that the rest of the matter was beyond his control. Cai Weijie and Hong Huang, as leaders in their field, would surely seize the opportunity to give this trend a name, then hold large-scale themed exhibitions and launch series of themed clothing, thoroughly spreading this trend across the country.

  It may be a year or two years. But in the future, when someone mentions this trend, his name must be placed in the "founder" and "pioneer" category.

  Back in the dormitory, Li Hao also returned and was shocked to see Lin Xiao eating.

  "How are you?"

  "Why am I not in?" Lin Xiao laughed and said "Don't you think the bed is much cleaner now?"

  "You mean..."

  "Little one, I'm gone and you don't even help me make the bed. These past few days, I've been borrowing your bed to sleep for a bit."

  "......I've been sunning the quilt......" Li Hao made a painful expression, then burst out laughing "I was saying you've been busy running around like crazy these past few days. Didn't expect you were actually in the dorm."

  Lin Xiao shook his head "I've done what I should have done, the rest is up to others to perform, why should I intervene?"

  "By the way, Xiao Ge, I heard you took on Da Bao's advertisement?" Li Hao's eyes lit up.

  "I know what you're going to ask." Lin Xiao laughed, "He owes us so much, has made so many overt and covert attacks on us, let him pay back once, it's a bargain for him."

  "Hmph." Li Hao snorted. "This kind of person is a two-faced traitor, even if they cling to Zhao Qingya's thigh, they can't accomplish anything great."

  Lin Xiao shook his head and didn't speak, he remembered the previous life, the other party also hugged Zhao Qingya's thigh, but in the end, it was himself who reached the top, three consecutive crowns as a movie emperor. It wasn't as simple as Li Hao thought.

  However, he gritted his teeth, in this life, everyone started from the same starting line, and he would never be a foil to anyone again!

  At night, he felt a bit bored, after finishing his workout, he changed clothes and went to the internet cafe to have some fun.

  He opened his homepage in a godly manner, but was left speechless to find that CAMI had turned it into a pastel pink system, complete with many cute creatures, causing him to see black lines.

  However, under his life photos and stickers, there were countless comments, and after flipping through them, they reached over a hundred pages!

  It's only been ten days!

  He flipped through it with great interest.

  "Is this the leader of the new trend, Lin Xiao? Can I say that makeup is too magical?"

  "The ignorant are fearless, this trend itself was brought up by him, how can it be called that makeup is too magical? I think, he should guide others to do makeup instead."

  "Well said, a gourmet is not necessarily a famous chef. But he must have a golden tongue. Just like a fashionable trendsetter needs a keen sense of fashion."

  Wait, this is a bit better, but similarly, there are some "NC fans". The comments have no nutritional value, but are full of positive energy.

  "Lin Xiao, I love you! You're so handsome!"

  "Judging from the bold and powerful handwriting on the wall, you must be a man! Lin Xiao, I want to have children with you!"

  Hmmm... This sentence sounds familiar.

  "Lin Xiao, do you remember me, your deskmate from back then? Do you remember XX School, Class XX? Do you remember the banks of Daming Lake..."

  "Too much...you've gone too far..."

  Wait, very loving, Lin Xiao smiled and left a message "Thank you for everyone's concern, in the future I will have more styles of works appearing, hoping that everyone can still like them. In addition, my participation in Kangxi Dynasty is about to start promotion, if everyone is interested, don't hesitate to take a look, at that time I will tell everyone the location."

  As soon as he sent it out, he saw a message, not long, but when he saw the name, he clicked in without hesitation.

  The name is actually "HUNGHUANG", such a long English name, many people may have glanced over it at first sight, but he won't, because this name is Hong Huang's English name!
