everypart 11,409 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 How many celebrities can carry the box office by themselves in China? In 2014’s published list of most bankable Chinese actors, Huang Bo took the first place with 4.9 billion. William Feng Shaofeng and Mark Chao became the representative of “handsome†male actors in the top ten list. In 2015, Wu Yifan, Luhan and Li Yifeng represent the new wave of new actors in the industry, coming along with high popularity. How an actor can carry the box office and how bankable they are is determined by two things “is the total box office sales high†and “do they have what it takes to lastâ€, in the next few years, these little boys born after 1990, who can successfully be the male lead and carry the box office? We have used their recent works and plans for the future to calculate. Wu Yifan breaks the record: can both take on the male lead and carry the box office. Estimated Box Office Appeal: ★★★★★ Although he doesn’t have much acting experience, but with a boyish face and a manly aura, Wu Yifan, compared to Luhan and Li Yifeng in the same category of little fresh meat, it seems as if he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a male lead better. “Somewhere Only We Know†made over 100 million in 3 days, 200 million within 5 and after 8 days the box office exceeded 278 million. In “history’s shortest Valentine’s slot†alongside the Spring Festival’s “one knife cuts allâ€, to have such box office whilst being attacked on each side by the schedule mentioned above, the movie is a successful example for a locally produced artistic romance movie. During this time, topics surrounding Wu Yifan’s appearance, acting skills, bankability, fans booking the whole place, his ability as a boyfriend, fatherly love and other topics are are endlessly emerging, we can conclude that he banks in for both popularity and topic. In 2015, “So Young 2â€â€™s filming with him as the male lead will be starting soon. Aside from his great appearance, strong presence, and high popularity, Wu Yifan’s messy personal rumors have been hyped up too. Then again, which top-tier celebrity haven’t been smeared like this and turning popular? After all fans’ fighting capacity improves after this, Wu Yifan’s potential and development in the movie industry and his loyal fans’ carrying the box office can be anticipated. Luhan effect: Crazy fans buy buy buy, highest popularity Estimated Box Office Appeal: ★★★★☆ If you search ‘Luhan effect’ on Baidu Baike, you will receive such an explaination: Luhan effect, same meaning as the name, it’s a series of events and reactions that’s caused by Luhan being handsome, known as the Luhan effect. Luhan’s fans not only imitate Luhan’s behavior, but anything that concerns “Luhan†will be crazily viewed and reposted, Luhan is ahead by leaps and bounds ahead in many polls. Not only that, his first experience in the movie “Back to 20â€, although Luhan isn’t the lead actor, yet in every media meeting he receives the treatment of a lead actor, at the end this comedy grossed over 380 million, you cannot disregard the Luhan effect here. Not just the box office, but magazines and products with Luhan’s appearance will be sold out within the shortest amount of time, and the sales are always refreshed, the fighting capacity of his fans defeat the other little fresh meat. In 2015, Luhan will be starring in “Witness†alongside Yang Mi, it’s another remake of a Korean movie, another movie with the female lead character n the spotlight, it’s less of an anticipation than him being a break dancing little prince in Wu Junru’s “12 Golden Ducksâ€. Highest popularity among the little fresh meat, his choice of script really makes people anxious as overly delicate, dazed and adorable roles are hard to carry for a male lead, to really prove his acting abilities, he should quickly change his image. The good thing is that he still has many fans that support him, as long as there’s Xiao lu, even if he doesn’t have a lot of scenes the movie will still sale! Proof of Xiao Lu’s box office appeal! Li Yifeng starring in a youth movie: most healthy image, best appeal to the citizens Estimated Box Office Appeal: ★★★★☆ Being exceedingly famous as a result of “Legend of the Ancient Swordâ€, Li Yifeng finally welcomes his first work on the large screen: He Jiong directing his first movie, a sentimental and moving campus romance, along with the “most popular youth†actors in the cast, “Blossoming Gardenia 2015†managed to be widely discussed even before filming started, becoming the youth movie with the most interest at the moment. Compared to the two little fresh meat who both returned from overseas, Li Yifeng has absolute advantage in his appeal to the citizens due to his appearances in dramas and varieties. Due to his high popularity and the fact that the movie is gearing towards the youth, “Blossoming Gardenia 2015†gained attention from the media and masses even before filming, earlier on when the production team asked for names for the lead characters, they easily received over a hundred thousand netizens participating passionately. There are also ‘die hard fans†for this film that made their own movie posters, resulting in heated debate among numerous netizens. In the movie poster, Li Yifeng and Zhang Huiwen, the two lead characters leaning against each other, their campus couple style filled to the brim. According to our knowledge, the movie “Blossoming Gardenia 2015†is a hot-blooded story of “a group of young people fighting hard to realize a young person’s dreamâ€, whether or not 27-year-old Li Yifeng can successfully shed away his age to act in a campus romance is highly anticipated, but “Li Zhengweiâ€s positive and healthy image added many points for him. Recently Li Yifeng had concerts in Beijing and Shanghai, the amount of seats filled were high, but his appeal to the box office urgently needs verification. source: xinhua news agency (the official press agency of the People's Republic of China, xinhua is the regarded the most influential media outlet in China as almost every newspapers in China relies on xinhua feeds for content) trans credit: epikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexi.K 3,161 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Most of their success is associated with EXO and SM now, we'll see in a few years if they'll know how to keep their momentum. Personally, I think Luhan has more chances since he's more talented in more areas. He could do some acting and if it doesn't work, he could go to singing.

Lol pls, if that was the case then the movies/shows/dramas Exo are in would be hits but they're not. So while SM helped get their name out there, it's their OWN appeal that got them where they are. Investors didn't even want to cast WYF because of his association with a Kpop group. China and their film and entertainment industry don't think too highly of Kpop.

everypart 11,409 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Let's see 5 years from now.. Sure, same with EXO too and all idol groups lol. Being an actor is more longterm anyway so we'll see. It's just amusing how doubters/haters have gone from "let's see in a few months, he won't last" when he left to "let's see in a few years" now that he's actually doing well. FYI, it's been almost a year since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the haters who said that Kris just relying on his popularity, lmao. I think if Kris continuously improve his performance, he could be an Asian level actor or even world level.

Lightning 191 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You cant calculate someones box office potential. How many stars has hollywood said are the next big thing only for them to disappoint? Only time and a string of hits or misses will prove their box office drawing power one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graybunny 62 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Woow thanks OP for translating this article. Kris and Luhan both only have 1 movie out, it's too soon to say if they have strong box office draw. But they are definitely the top actors of their younger age group. SM must be pressed. I would've included Kai Ko (You're the Apple of My Eye, Tiny Times) but too bad he got himself banned lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel_Nessa 11,378 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Kris' and Luhan's impact in Chinese movies' box office is amazing. Most of their success is associated with EXO and SM now, we'll see in a few years if they'll know how to keep their momentum. Personally, I think Luhan has more chances since he's more talented in more areas. He could do some acting and if it doesn't work, he could go to singing. In fact, there's a less association of Kris and Luhan with exo than I thought would have. Most of articles/interviews just say Luhan and Kris are back from overseas/Korea, there's no mention of them being former members of exo, and no questions exo-related; to all the ones who has started stanning them bc of their movies, they will need a research to know where they came from. SM's and exo's name just come in articles when they mention the lawsuit or when SM filled a lawsuit against Kris/Luhan. And if you still think that Luhan's and Kris' fame is only bc of SM, you're wrong; Kris is more well-known for "chicken not my style" and "galaxy" than to any promo that SM has ever made of him. Lol pls, if that was the case then the movies/shows/dramas Exo are in would be hits but they're not. So while SM helped get their name out there, it's their OWN appeal that got them where they are. Investors didn't even want to cast WYF because of his association with a Kpop group. China and their film and entertainment industry don't think too highly of Kpop. and the ones who wanted said a big NO. SM must regret it a lot it now, I'd regret if I were SM. Let's see 5 years from now.. Remember when some exo-ls said that without exo, Kris was nothing? Well, he's something. Let's see 5 years from now if Luhan's and Kris' haters are less butthurt over these guys success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
