Since 2018, every year on April 20, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong will be on the hot search.
The same is true on April 20, 2022, and 5 of the top ten hot search articles in the entertainment hot search section are related to Lu Han.
In addition, manchester United club, which just lost to Liverpool in the Premier League's "double red club", also sent birthday wishes.
Such a heat, the average star birthday is probably incomparable.
In fact, Lu Han is an unusual star, among which the label that he can't tear off is "the fourth son of return", coincidentally this year is the 10th anniversary of Lu Han's official debut in exo group.
In this 10 years of great waves, Lu Han has been the lead singer of the group on the stage, dancing and becoming a popular idol; he has been an actor, TV series and movies are all-you-can; he has produced albums as a singer, and he has attracted many fans by singing; he loves sports and has become the idol who played the best football in the circle.
But now, people are more concerned about whether he can be "reborn in adversity".
Because Lu Han's career has been determined to be in trouble, open the list of his works, although there is still a big brother Deng Chao to take him to play variety shows, but the film and television works have appeared in the big gap of 18 months.
01 The glory of the year
In 2012, Lu Han, who had been a trainee for two years, debuted in Han, and at that time, Han Geng, who returned from Han, was already in the top class, and Lu Han's attention in China could only be regarded as a small transparent level.
It was precisely in those years that the korean wave wind reached its peak in China, and Lu Han became famous through this shareholder wind.
In October 2014, Lu Han announced his return to China after Wu Someone, and from this time on, Lu Han began to embark on the road to the top.
How red Lu Han was at that time was, explained by data.
He tweeted about Manchester United, with over 100 million comments and was recognized by Guinness World Records.
That year, his debut album broke 100,000 sales in ten minutes.
That year, Lu Han's "Notes from the Tomb Robber" landed in theaters and won 1 billion box office, ranking 8th in the domestic annual box office list.
In 2017, Lu Han was selected as the first place in The List of China's Most Commercially Valuable Stars by CBN, followed by Zhao Liying and Yang Mi.
At that time, Lu Han also became the "four major traffic students", and under the support of a strong fan base, he could be the C position in the field of film and television.
02 Announcing a relationship became the first watershed
However, Lu Han began to "work the whole work" when he was most popular, and on October 8, 2017, Lu Han officially announced that he was in love with Guan Xiaotong.
For a time, countless female fans "depowdered", and there were more and more controversies about him.
Under normal circumstances, popular idols dare not easily announce the news of love affairs, because it will seriously affect the career development of artists.
The first is fan maintenance, not announcing that the relationship can maintain a single person, so that fans of the opposite sex are full of fantasies; the other is to protect the other half, when the top object will always be concerned, all kinds of small things will be amplified; and finally, the continuity of the relationship, if suddenly break up, it will also affect the career development.
Lu Han's announcement of the relationship has indeed become an inflection point in his career, after his popularity plummeted after he announced the relationship, and the commercial value in 2018 fell to 20.
At a concert in October 2018, scalpers have begun to sell tickets at 20% off.
Of course, the announcement of the relationship is not the only reason for the decline in popularity, another important factor is Lu Han's folding in film and television works.
"Choosing Heaven" scored 4.7 word of mouth exploded, "Sweet Crunch" scored 2.7 to give everyone a critical hit, and "Shanghai Fortress" scored 2.9 to close the door of Chinese science fiction movies.
In just two years, Lu Han has changed from the top stream to a synonym for "fluttering street".
However, the good news is that his relationship with Guan Xiaotong has been very stable, and when he was popular, he announced his relationship and has always maintained his girlfriend, which has also made Lu Hanlu's popularity much better, and basically everyone has commented that he is "responsible".
03 2020 ushered in a second watershed
However, this cannot change the fact that Lu Han's popularity has declined.
Time to 2020, Lu Han did not disappoint, he chose to transform.
On the one hand, to maintain exposure and popularity, Lu Han appeared in "Creation Camp 2020" as a mentor, and he was originally from an idol boy band, and he took care of all the juniors on the stage like a big brother.
On the other hand, the breakthrough of film and television works, Lu Han's own starring "Crossfire" scored a high score of 7.9 points, and he was always ridiculed for his poor acting skills before, but this time it became the best existence of the whole drama.
A month later, Lu Han's suspense drama "In the End" by Lu Han and Wang Qianyuan was launched, this time Lu Han played the high-IQ villain Zhao Binbin, who looked harmless and obedient, and was actually the big evil person in the whole play.
Throughout 2020, Lu Han brought too many surprises to the audience, but what people did not expect was that Lu Han suddenly "disappeared" in the film and television circle after "In the End".
04 Embattled
From September 2020 to April 2022, Lu Han has not had a new film and television work launched for 18 consecutive months, and only officially announced the second season of the reality show "Hahahaha".
Previously, it was rumored that Lu Han was going to star in "Under the Inhuman", and finally confirmed that this drama did not have his place.
In addition, there is even only one online drama "Fox Demon Little Red Lady" in the list of Lu Han's works that has not been confirmed, and the cast of this drama online is also fainting, because the protagonists are Yang Ying and Liu Shishi.
Some people say that Lu Han "played a good hand of cards", if he had not announced his relationship at the beginning, it would not be like this now.
However, love is loved, why do you have to hide it?
And they have been together for a full 5 years, and this is something that many people can't do.
Now that Lu Han has celebrated his 32nd birthday, there are very few insiders who send birthday wishes on social platforms.
The most important thing is that it is still unknown when the next script will be delivered, and once there is no work, it means that it is not exposed and will soon be replaced by new people.
Although Lu Han has 63 million Weibo followers, the only masterpiece he dared to write about is "Return to Twenty Years Old" many years ago.
This birthday looks very beautiful, but Lu Han is very bitter in his heart, because he wants to think about how to hit the "headwind upside down" in the middle-aged strong faction before and the idol small fresh meat in the back.
The only way to do that is to find a film and television work that you can get your hands on and prove to everyone that he can play all kinds of roles.
It's just that it takes time, but there's not much time left for him.
At that time, the "four sons of returning to China" has become "three sons of returning to China", of which Zhang Yixing has the most potential for development, there is no shortage of film and television comprehensives, and there are several predecessors of "ExtremeLy Picky"; Huang Zitaosheng is stable, there are more die-hard fans, and it is not impossible to take root in variety shows; and Lu Han, who is emotionally responsible, may be the most dangerous one, and the passers-by are particularly good, but what he needs most now is the work.
At the age of his career, he can still sweat happily on the football field, looking like the teenager 10 years ago.
