The values of new China and old China come crashing in the world of gangsters on the busy streets of Beijing. Led by veteran Feng Xiao Gang, the rising puppies in China – Li Yi Feng and Kris Wu, are gonna be challenged in more than one way. Are they gonna go hard or go home?
Official Synopsis from Wiki: Mr. Six tells of an old 50-something-year-old street punk called “Lao Pao Er” (Feng Xiao Gang) a who has reigned over the Beijing streets as the neighborhood kingpin for many years. One day, when his mischievous son (Li Yi Feng) causes a dispute against a much younger drag-racing street gang leader (Kris Wu), he steps up to help defend him. “Lao Pao Er” then discovers that the younger generation of gang members have already named this drag racer as his successor, and he no longer holds any ground in the street scene.
Stills:
Of the 100 or so scenes, Feng Xiao Gang has about 90 scenes. So he’s the main man of the movie and the young actors are only supporting. It’s always an honor to work with brilliant veterans and I hope our puppy, Li Yi Feng, find the hard edge to incorporate in his acting.
Kris Wu as the new leader in town. This looks like a photoshoot. Lol.
No official stills of Li Yi Feng yet. Aw!
English-Subbed Trailer:
- The trailer looks good but I’m not sure where the comedy fits in. heh.
- Director Guan Hu and writer Dong Run Nian reunited after working together for the movie The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel in 2014. Mr. Six is scheduled to hit theaters on December 24th of this year.

Wu Yifan actually looks good in silver hair, i prefer to call him by his chinese name now ever since he started promoting in only China.

That color looks great on him. Not too many people can pull off that look.

Fan girls

I still expect if anyone of the fan girls on this site says something like “Oh him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” under the posts about oppars.

Is something wrong with you? I remember your posts about demeaning all the fangirls out there.
If you want crazy oppas fangirls, go to allkpop and pick your fights there. Seriously.

“If you want crazy oppas fangirls, go to allkpop and pick your fights there. Seriously.”
Is there any principal difference tho? Replace kpop “oppars” with c-actor “oppars”, replace kpop fan girls with c-actor oppa fan girls. And you get those same audience full of over excited, overly biased hormones.
But… don’t mind me. lol

Kris looks hot, seems he has the bigger role than Li Yifeng since he’s promoted more?
20 thoughts on “Kris Wu sports silver hair for action comedy film Mr. Six”
Kris is the antagonist in this movie of course he will be promoted more. Feng Xiaogang has emphasized how important his role is. Li Yifeng plays the son of the lead and according to the summary, he’ll get beaten up until he is in a coma during the conflict.

In the movie world, I think Kris Wu holds the higher pedestal to Li Yi Feng who’s still looked upon as the cute little brother in dramaland. Kris is new too but being an popular Kpop Idol helped him earn a lot of leeway in terms of projects. Not a lot of drama actors can translate their popularity well onto the big screen.
20 thoughts on “Kris Wu sports silver hair for action comedy film Mr. Six”
Yeah, Kris Wu is definitely more of a credible movie star. He just has that ‘aura’ of star power that translates well to being an A-lister. Even Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Hanyu and Shuqi said he’s the ‘fresh meat’ that left the most impression on them.
Although I disagree that being a kpop idol helped him get a lot of projects. Xu Jinglei mentioned she had to convenience investors that she would cast him in Somewhere Only We Know and their main objection is because he’s a Kpop idol. I think it has more to do with his hard work and attitude around people. He has that kind of charisma that made people notice him and want to work with him and love working with him. Xu Jinglei actually recommended him to Guan Hu for this movie, so you could kind of see where he made his connections that people who worked with him would recommend him to their peers for projects because they knew he would do really well with it.

Maybe it’s me but I have seen his movie and he has that same arrogant look everywhere. Acting is also so-so. Being an idol helps anywhere, especially in Korea (and China – you can get roles even without speaking Chinese BUT a chinese actor won’t get the same treatment in Korea). You only have to be the visual one of the group to get acting gigs, which is why Knetizens complained a lot when Suzy, Yoona, and the likes get lead roles with their mediocre acting.
He definitely knows how to make the right connections and might have good attitude but it doesn’t translate well onscreen for me. This movie won’t help that either because he’s playing an arrogant gangster and has the perfect look for the role. Maybe when he has a more normal/casual character, he can drop that natural expression/attitude that is constantly on his face.
Again, this is my only my opinion having watched some of his variety shows and movies.

I don’t think I agree. Especially since you don’t see a lot of Kpop-associated idols getting lead roles in movies. Dramas, maybe. But movies? It’s just Kris so far and he’s gotten a ton of projects lined up (7 movies in fact with 5 of them lead roles). Even Luhan isn’t getting lead role status.
Kpop idols aren’t looked upon favorably by the public (both in Korea and China) which is why investors were initially hesitant to cast Kris. In Korea, idol actors aren’t respected at all so I don’t really understand where you’re getting the idea that being an idol helps a lot. Idol actors even work hard to shed their idol status because it doesn’t earn them respect. I think it’s more of Kris fitting the leading man criteria more than other idol actors like Li Yifeng, Yang Yang, Luhan, etc. I remember an article written by someone working in the industry and they said one of the reasons people loved to cast Kris, aside from his popularity and marketability, is because he’s the perfect solution to the youth film dilemma – for so long they’ve gotten actors who don’t really fit the movies both looks-wise and age-wise but he fits both.
As for his acting, it’s subjective tbh but he did win an acting award from an international film festival, if that means anything.

I’m confuse….are you another Angela since your comment kind of contradicted the one I replied a lot.
But if you are another one then I agree with you. Idol actors are very much not respected and most of them do not want that tag. I find the roles Kris picked up for himself very risky and unidolactor-like so far, except SOWK, but that’s his first film so gotta start somewhere. I mean he seems to be someone who does not care about his appearance for a role. This role in Mr. Six is an antagonist, how many idol actors would take such a role and risk being hated? I can’t even see the likes of Li Yifeng, Luhan or Yangyang playing a bad guy.
Yeah which is why I rather class Kris as an actor more than an idol actor. He’s actually working to that direction. And he’s playing Tang Sanzang for Journey to the West and really went bald for it. Like no idol would do that. He even commented in an interview that he won’t mind gaining weight for a role, like what Leonardo Dicaprio did for ‘Wolf of Wallstreet’.
So yeah, I really do not like it when people commented that he had it easy because he was a kpop idol. When that tag actually is what made things go against him.

Kpop idols aren’t looked upon favorably BUT they do still get roles in dramas repeatedly, no? Porn stars aren’t respected, but they still get cast, no?
I don’t understand how you can say that being an idol doesn’t help. You think if he wasn’t under SM under a famous group, he would get noticed by these top stars and directors “easily”? There are actors who work just as hard or harder than him who could never get the chances he gets. So yes, his being an idol brought his name to the public. You can’t deny that.
About youthful actors, China population is humongous, you think they need youthful actors? It’s because Kris name sells. He has a market and a big following already.
Playing villain roles do NOT mean getting hated. Are we five? Liu Yi Fei, Zhao Li Ying, Ma Tian Yu, Hu Ge, all have played villain roles, do they get hated? NO. That’s a silly assumption and viewers have grown a lot. If they hate you because of a role, they are not true fans anyway. They do not count.
Chinese actors have went bald/gained weight/expose body parts before, so Kris is not special for doing it. I commend his attitude but you guys are putting him on a high pedestal.
Whether he’s good in the upcoming roles or not, we will see. It’s subjective and I have said my two cents about this matter.

For some reason I can’t reply to you @Angela
How since you said he has the same arrogant look everywhere, he must be a pretty good actor because Zeyang (his character in SOWK) is meant to be arrogant. And it’s his first role ever, I think he did pretty well for it. He’s slowly shedding away the idol label to be more of an actor. How many idols can act the role of a single dad with a complicated family and not appear wooden on their first try?
If you follow Mr. Six closely, you’ll find that there is more to this young gangster he’s playing than what you see during yesterday’s press conference. To say briefly, ‘he’s a boy who dreams of being a martial artist, who appears bad but he’s actually not’. I do believe he pulled off that role very well since Feng Xiaogang, GuanHu and Zhang Hanyu praised his acting a lot for this role. If you look up Feng Xiaogang more, he is not an easy to please director, yet to see him liking Kris so much says a lot about Kris.
Yes you will see him play different roles. He is not filming to play Tang Sanzang for Stephen Chow’s and Tsui Hark’s ‘Journey to the West’. These two directors are not the kind to just pick any good-looking, popular guy for their film. He actually had to audition for the role, so it really says how good he actually is.
If you’re basing his performance off EXO showtime, that’s really stupid. Since he needed IV drips to even function that time, but he’s still the best on the show despite being only 15% of himself.

What I meant to say is that he has the arrogant look on his face permanently. If anything, he should shed that image first. And I’m not the only one to think so, many international fans have said it before.
I have seen his movies before and shows, so it’s not just EXO shows, so it’s NOT “stupid”. Seriously, how defensive can you get? I wasn’t even being negative at all and only comments on what I feel. Kris fans need to chill sometimes

there are two Angelas…lol.
i don’t think Angela means anything bad but it’s true, idol actors while do get the negative backlash, they are in the news always. that’s the key isn’t it? negative news is still news. idols may not be respected in Korea but they call dips in roles before any other newbie actors. hence you have to admit that being an idol helped Kris wu somewhat to get his name out there SOMEWHERE, if he were like other chinese actors, he wouldn’t get half the chances he gets now for all those leads.
yang yang, liu yi feng, started way back, they have played little roles before they hit it big, so it’s not a fair comparison at all. they have worked their way to being where they are right now. im sure kris worked hard to be an idol too in KOREA but it’s different being an idol vs being trained to be an actor in China. he started out with big roles so it’s understandable that others find it unfair for many actors who started out way before him and has the same work attitude, etc, but not the same “connections” that kris wu made in his short period.
again, this is just my two cents. somehow, articles about kris wu always starts a fanwar in the comments section for some reason. some fans become really defensive even when the comments aren’t negative towards him. it’s just how the entertainment world works. if you sell, you get roles, even if your acting is questionable at best. lols.
