Is Wu Zun handsome? Similar questions have been asked years before when F4 first became famous, but the question was directed at Jerry Yan and Vic Chou then. Why are these people who are labeled as ‘handsome’ questioned? From here, we can see that the perspective of ‘handsome’ is very subjective and difficult to achieve consistently.
Unknowingly, ‘handsome’ became a result of in-born condition and training. Body, looks, charisma, even if all these don’t add up to 100 marks there’s at least 90. The extraordinary thing about these type of people is that they will let people notice them, but he will not aware and will not be proud of it. In fairytales, these ‘handsome guys’ maybe be doctors who help in those barren lands, don’t mention those glamorous clothings, even if its just shirt and jeans they won’t change it daily. Their ‘handsome’ is the trust people in dirty and environment without order have in them. These type of ‘handsome’ guys are nice to look at during summer time, cloudy and rainy days are also a sight --- who asks them to let people daydream even when they are frowning or deep in thought?
But in this era where ‘fashionable’ are more accepted, the type of ‘handsome guys’ mentioned have either became fossil or dinosaurs which existed years ago. The most important condition to be a ‘handsome guys’ now is that their hairstyle must not be out of fashion --- people in the past said that only auntie will be like Maggie Cheung in ‘In the mood for love’, wasting a lot of time in setting their hair, shows that they are unable to predict the fashion moves faster than feng shui, women loves to look pretty by nature, but guys are not losing out in terms of trying to look good.
Now Japanese mangas have changed the way people in this generation look at themselves. When romance novels were controlling the way people look at ‘handsome guys’, words was the most powerful. However, things change fast; imagination now doesn’t come from words but from comics. Japanese mangas have been changed into dramas by our producers, the male lead became the real life specimen, and of course they can’t be too different from figurines. Handsome guys nowadays are not worried if their face looks too skinny or sharp, that’s because all of them have large and big expressive eyes. They don’t mind that one-third of their face is covered with fringe, one-third of the face is covered in make-up, that’s because they know that ‘handsome’ now is not based on how manly they are but how they can became the boy the girls have in their mind.
Wu Zun will be appearing very soon on the big screen with his role as ‘Liang Shan Bo’ facing the test of acting and looks. ‘Liang Shan Bo’ is not a character from the mangas, Wu Zun will have to take on another side to prove that he can be ‘Liang Shan Bo’ --- of course, as long as the fans are willing to admit, even Ling Bo, who took the role years back can be said to be ‘more manly than the man’.
