Hyooga 10,307 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's pretty much a given that he's a huge Chinese star at this point. After Mr. Six, all he needs is just one more blockbuster and he's pretty much a secured A-lister before he even turns 30. But it is his hollywood pursuit that intrigues me. It seems he is quite picky even with the gigs he goes for in the West (as his priority is China) and he declines on opportunities that would not benefit him. From what we know, his roles in the Vin Diesel and Luc Besson movies are not stereotypical characters given to Asian men. This makes me curious. What if Kris Wu eventually becomes the person who will be able to break Asian men stereotypes in Hollywood? What if he becomes the first Asian male star who will be bankable as a desirable male lead in movies with roles not usually given to Asian men? If he attains such level of 'superstardom' and he indeed becomes bankable in Hollywood, do you think his haters or skeptics (mostly K-Pop fans or Knetz) will view him in a better light? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante. 7,795 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) you have a lot of big expectations for him in hollywood, expectations asian actors and actresses haven't been able to meet despite working for years to achieve it.. what would make him any different??? hollywood sucks. they aren't just going to hand him "bankability" on a platter.

That's a lot of threads with pretty much the same questions, OP, lol. We'll see what happens in the future. you have a lot of big expectations for him in hollywood, expectations asian actors and actresses haven't been able to meet despite working for years to achieve it.. what would make him any different??? hollywood sucks. they aren't just going to hand him "bankability" on a platter. This is true but then again I feel like the current state of the internet and China's influence in Hollywood would make things a bit different but that's something we're yet to see. I thought he was a nerdy hacker nicknamed "Harvard" in the diesel movie. Nope. The nerdy tech in the film is Becky (Nina Dobrev). He's a DJ.

If I was so sure I would be using will instead of what if I'm rooting for him but tbh, no one knows 100% if he'll be successful well if he does, that's great. hollywood needs to change. i'm not sure if it would change how knetz see him though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantom1609 513 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I guess his haters will be more bitter because their faves aren't as successful as Kris, but lowkey fangirling over him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
