GQ Style - Luhan (Spring 2015 Issue)

 

 

In this generation where everything is possible,
We still often gain surprises — 
For example, the power of Lu-fans as though they are crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood,
For example, those potentials on this (almost) 25-year-old boy, is like a thick diamond that hasn’t been polished but is already sparkling.
This make us decide to “be willful†one last time and put this fresh idol on the cover of GQ style.
This new idol that is full of youthful ambition and is shining did not disappoint us.

 

 

The shoot was arranged in a hidden studio on Changan Street. In the morning, the empty studio still had

echoes, until when Luhan suddenly walked out of the dressing room, the crowd then surrounded him, and the

atmosphere immediately became lively. Shooting, resting, shooting, resting, eat, shooting, resting, this kind of

schedule was continued until the afternoon. In the midst of filming, he and his managing team walked out of

the studio, when they came back, he walked in by himself through a side down, he was walking very fast,

leaving the other people far behind him. When the site was changed to a bar counter, he even played on the

guitar that was used for filming.

 

He is full of energy from the start till end. This makes it easy for people who come in contact with him for the

first time to have a good impression – You have to know when most celebrities start their day of work from

morning, they still have the tiredness from the night before. When he put on the first outfit, he automatically

took his phone out and connected it to the loud speakers, and in this environment, he didn’t hesitate and

chose a rap album.

 

With this, the international tag that he has on him was activated again.

 

When treating celebrities with such background, Chinese fashion magazines are always full of affection. One

side, they are infected with culture of prototype for many years, trying new styles may be a little difficult,

another side, with the immense number of fans and the ability to influence is beyond ordinary, which makes

people curious

 

Why would you be curious? We all ask ourselves. Before this, we must know clearly what kind of method

people use to understand and know him.

 

From his first album, to Baidu Tieba (a social networking site in China)’s innumerable video montage, even

going back to the past year, a single Weibo post that was authenticated by the Guinness World Records, to

the movies he participated in recently. This is probably not enough. With the help of social networking, fans

gain endless information about every single public appearance; and they spread it again, letting more people

know. The more it continues, the more you realize, you will never know as much as them.

 

Don’t give up on any chance. We even observe his condition during shooting, this is a normal shooting

process, and to observe the artist’s state at every moment, on these bases, the cameraman might adjust their

own shooting scheme, change his style according to his fashion edits, we also have to conjecture what

differences a new generation idol has with artists from before.

 

Not the same aged artists, but way earlier ahead, the way kings and queens (referring to the senior artists

who have been in this entertainment industry for a long time) deal with the camera in front of them. The latter

has accumulated the experience of taking an exquisite photo in a short amount of them, they know where to

start focusing, know how to pose, and they barely make any mistakes, so it makes the shoot very safe.

 

In front of the camera, Luhan needs to act out the rock n’ roll style; the speed he uses to change clothes is

very fast, not wasting a single second. If he needs to move his body, his movement will fit the rhyme of the

music, but his eyes won’t move away from the camera. When resting, he moves over to look at the photos

that were taken, looking at them very carefully, this way he will know how to adjust himself in the next shoot,

this makes him seem very well trained.

 

“I have started to become interested in acting, I might spend more of my time on acting. So recently I have

starting getting training in this area.†This might result in him paying more effort than before. The reality is like

this too, comparing Luhan from <Back To 20>, the Luhan in front of eyes looks slimmer. Commenters are not

as strict to his performance in the movie as they treat other new actors, in the feedback that surrounds us,

most people think he did pretty good.

 

“What kind of hard work did you put into your first movie?â€
“Hard work, I don’t think it should be said this way…  I think, why people think my performance wasn’t that bad

was probably because most of the movie was the true character showing.â€

 

“Also because the director was good in teaching me†He immediately added, “The other actors also taught me

well.â€

 

I was told that apart from acting, recently he has been trying to train his ability answer in interviews. He

realizes that he is utterly unskilled in confronting media interview, “In this stage, people are still laughing at me

for being a beginner.†He self-mocked. I think they are reminding me if I should be slower or what. But look at

how he is able to talk now, why should you worry.

 

Luhan stopped to laugh for a bit, his tone and attitude is the exact same as a normal Beijing boy.

What type of guys could become brothers?
Depends on fate

 

What kind of girl would move your heart?
If the feeling is right then it’s right.

 

 

Beijing boys are the same. How should you describe it? It’s the type of boy that check Weibo while resting and

play games. Looks at hot news casually, “also including political news, to get an understanding of the

country’s policies and what not.†He is extremely fascinated with the Ironman series, even “collecting Ironman

action figures.†He also plays game, recently he has been researching on a type of bracelet that could play

games.

 

He even has similar childhood memories as these boys. In the summer of 2002, the situation of China’s team

participating in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea made the boys fall madly in love with soccer.

 

“At that time, a lot of the atmosphere was of playing soccer.†Soccer took over his childhood and youth,

becoming his known hobby. As a celebrity member, you could see him play with professional soccer players

on the soccer field, that could be a certain charity’s themed competition. He even told us that he has a plan

related to this. “If there is a chance,†he said seriously, “I always had a wish, it’s that within Chinese youth

soccer… basically to make soccer be a little more popular amongst youth, hahahaha.†We were shocked. He

then explained and said, because this type of exercise firstly trains the body, and also develops team

awareness.

 

In reality, since really early on, he already had wishes to participate in different charity events. Including one

that fans found, during his pre-debut student days, he left messages on certain forum supporting charity.

Recently was on a certain program, he donated his own earbuds to put up for auction to raise money for

hearing impaired children. After becoming a celebrity, he learned how to use his own aura to continue to call

on fans to join together for charity, acquiring a charitable image, this made him face an even more perfect,

more professional artist career. However, from today starting with this little wish, you will realize he might not

be completely for his profession.

 

I don’t even know what to say. From the start, it seems I learned about them too late, this may be due to a

natural generation gap, but that doesn’t stop you from admitting he is not the same as past idols.

 
Luhan is very clear that the internet brought a huge change to the world. The most evident is on social media

platforms, fans messages immediately enter into his life. “Now, you just need to pick up your phone and you

will be able to find out what they’re saying.†Not only his fans, media also surprisingly found that the internet is

changing the world’s media system: through using the internet, fans are able to use social media to create a

bright picture of stars.

 

In the past, a very short while ago, he went from a normal soccer playing and student Beijing boy into the

super idol who’s one Weibo post could break a Guinness World Record. Luhan said he the most memorable

image of Beijing to him since then was Tiananmen Square because he would pass by it frequently. After that,

he went through an unusual, concentrated, and intensive few years. Sometimes during this time, or maybe

within a period of time, he also gained quick maturity.

 

“So what is something that you used to believe, but you don’t believe now?â€
“I’ve never really thought about it, what I believed in before, I should still believe it now.â€

 

Even when Beijing has already enter into the spring, getting close to 5pm, the natural light gradually dims, the

photoshoot is already entering it’s completion. Even after a day’s shoot, he still maintained an energetic spirit:

from the set’s bar, following the camera to the fire exit door, the crew and all the lighting are accompany him.

Honestly speaking, I didn’t care how the photos came out, I woke up too early, at the time I was falling asleep.

 

It seems while taking the last few photos, he accidentally kicked the electric fan, ‘kadunk’ for a bit, it was not a

small move, everyone looked over.

 

“Everyone woke up?†He said embarrassingly.

 

After the day’s shoot, he straightforwardly expressed his fondness of all the outfits. Because he really liked the

green jacket he was wearing, he planned to continue to wear it for us to record a video, after that, he still had

another media shoot waiting for him at night. He cautiously placed the clothes on top of the chair and decided

to return to the make up room.

 

He secretly slept for a little while there, but no one woke him up.
