Han Geng Visits Orphanage in Indonesia, Fans Gather to See His Charisma

Recently, Han Geng arrived in Indonesia for promotions for his solo concert DVD and his first movie “My Kingdom”, at the same time he also especially took musical instruments etc as presents to an orphanage to visit the small children there, without exception, everywhere he went it was a sea of people. On the final day of promotional activities, due to there being more than 10,000 people gathered at the activity venue, it lead to communications with the Indonesian police for several hours and it was forced to be cancelled due to safety issues.

On 23 September, Han Geng especially took half a day to go to a Jakarta orphanage to visit the children there. Even though there were language barriers, but Han Geng quickly became one with the children, all the children extremely liked him. The children in the orphanage were all abandoned due to physical conditions or poverty, there were children ranging from one to five years old. Han Geng loved watching each child, he listened carefully to their stories, looked at their work, he even stated to the head of the orphanage that in the future every time he comes to Indonesia he will visit these children. At the same time Han Geng also appealed to all his fans that they must do their utmost to help people in need.

On 24 September, at Han Geng’s Indonesian fan meeting that was originally planned for Indonesia’s second largest city of Surabaya, many fans started queuing at the venue very early in the morning the day before to wait for the afternoon activity the next day, at the entire venue there were already more than 10,000 people, which completely filled the seven level building. The activity that was originally planned to commence at two o’clock in the afternoon was delayed continuously until three o’clock and it was still impossible to enter, after communications and considering security, Indonesian police suggested that the activity be cancelled. For the fans that had been waiting all along for Han Geng, after communications between the organizers and Indonesian police, it was decided that he would only greet the fans and then leave. It was not expected that as soon as Han Geng appeared, the venue completely lost control, Han Geng could only hastily return backstage under bodyguard escort, the whole process was only a few seconds.

In relation to this outcome Han Geng expressed his extreme regret, he completely understood the fans’ feelings for wanting to see him, but he also hoped that everyone would pay attention to safety, make safety the top priority and that similar situations do not occur again in the future. At the airport Hang Geng was interviewed and he stated that he hoped that Indonesia would be an important stop for his concert for his Asia tour next year, in order to bring the most brilliant stage for the fans who were left behind with regrets this time.

This time during Han Geng’s visit to Indonesia it was revealed that his second solo album and concert tour were at the stage of being prepared, next year he would be meeting fans who have waited a long time, he hoped that after everyone had watched his movie this year, they could experience together with him his music and dance stage charisma.

Han’s Progress

Looking back to 2008 and even further back to 2005, one couldn’t believe how far has Han Geng come. During those years, the future seemed so bright and bleak at the same time. At times it looked so uncertain and at times one wonders whether he will be there forever,even though one’s heart tells us that idol bands do not last for long nor forever. Moreover, he is a Chinese in a Korean boy-band which made it harder to expect permanency and success of achieving his life-long dreams. These were  just elusive to him. He wanted to chase his dreams but those were not in alignment with his own plans and expectations…

A few years later, one found Han Geng free and pursuing his own agenda with a few of his closest and trusted friends. He started with a pure heart and an open outlook for his own plans to form and take shape. He knew he had to do something but he didn’t know where & how to start and so he withdrew himself into the mountains of Yunnan doing some self-reflections. He came out of his retreat, energized and ready to take on the world.!! He came back into society and blasted on to his solo stage exclusively for himself, friends,fans and family..

As of today, it hasn’t been a year yet since the day of his  concert which was touted as his official day of debut as a solo artiste. He has been cast in two major movies. One of those was his cameo, as founding father Deng Xiao Ping, the other is his full length solo film as Er Kui, a main lead.

Today, it was announced that Han Geng will also be cast in another blockbuster movie titled “Founding Father Dr.SunYat-sen”. His role/character in this movie has not been revealed but it was assured that he will be one of the main leads unlike the previous movie “Founding of a Party” which was only a cameo appearance.

News article:

As part of a tribute to the  commemoration of  the centennial anniversary of the revolution of 1911, the film “Founding Father Dr.Sun Yat-sun” has commenced its filming in May. The 1st list of the cast for the movie is announced by the people behind the film including Han Geng, Li Sheng, Zhang Junning, Na Yu, Anson Hu, Tian Liang, high to Cheung, Francis Ng, Alex Fong, Wang Bojie, Duan Jun-Hao, Fan Wei, Wang Ji, Ling Xiao Su, Hu Jing, Du Chun , Xu Yajun, more than men and so starry. Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling, the male and female actor has not yet announced.

Han Geng has already started work on the film from the looks of these pictures which were revealed recently..

Let’s look forward joyfully to Han Geng’s future works…Fighting!!

Reporters Response

Many reporters like to use Weibo (T/N: the micro blog in China) to deliver “live” entertainment reports that we are currently working on. A lot of yesterday’s Weibo headlines were “Gengfans” (Name of Han Geng’s fans). Nothing extravagant was done by them on this day, they simply delivered breakfast to the reporters who attended the <My Kingdom> press conference.

The press conference took place in the morning. Many of the reporters were already very sleepy and tired and attended with an empty stomach after working overnight for the past two days to prepare scripts for the press conference. Everyone was first attracted by a special “bouquet” placed outside of the press conference hall. If you look carefully, it is actually a “promotional board” made from red roses. In addition to the characters “My Kingdom”, there were also these two characters “Han Geng” made from yellow roses displayed on the edge of the board. Everyone already had a deep impression of “Gengfans” at the time. Unexpectedly, reporters were stopped by some beautiful young ladies right before they walked inside of the press conference hall. They handed us a small gift bag and took a 90-degree bow, “Please take good care of Han Geng!”. Everyone was stunned and almost didn’t know how to react to it.

(Reporters) then went inside and sat down. They were feeling touched as they opened up the gift bag – a small well-packaged bag with beef jerky, candies, cookies as well as a note pad, two pieces of wet naps, a carton of coffee, a folding hand fan and a cartoon version of Han Geng sticker. “Yeah, have breakfast to eat!”, everyone started eating and drinking. “Han Geng, you are very loved!”. This is actually (our) first time receiving gifts from fans, thank you! Many fellow peers thanked “Gengfans” on Weibo. A “thank you” collectively sent by these somewhat cynical entertainment reporters who work at the “bottom” level in the showbiz industry is unprecedented.

The quality of “Gengfans” also gave everyone a deep impression. Just yesterday when we interviewed another idol, we almost could not complete our interviews in separate groups because fans were occupying our seats, blocking the cameras and even pushing each others. Just as we have lots of complain and anger, today, these few female fans who gave us the gift bags were consistently well-behaved by standing outside the doors and completely were not even thinking “to make friends” with the media in order to find ways to enter the press conference hall.

We are able to see the private side of stars to some degree and so we normally don’t understand fans’ craziness and royalty. For example, some fans would insanely “human search” for, make crank phone calls, faxes and mails to, and some “powerful” fans even do everything they can to “complain” to the boss of, the reporter who wrote a piece of unfavorable report on the idol. Many times, all these actions that they do only leave the reporters with a bad impression of the idol.

The small gesture made by Han Geng at the press conference – during the open questions session today, he got up to personally hand the microphone to a reporter who complained of not having a microphone – as well as the behavior (T/N: or presentation) by “Gengfans”, Han Geng made an immediate good impression on the reporters. This is really just not only a breakfast meal (T/N: or This is simply not just a breakfast meal).

But,  just being known by the public is only the first surface for artistes to generate and increase their market value. However, being loved and trusted by the public will bring about big impact towards the future plans of the artiste.

Ranked by the public, the top 3 artistes they trust more are Han Geng, Sun Hong Lei, Deng Chao.  Chen Kun, He Jiong, Zhang Jie, Zhi Shang Li He, Xiao Shen Yang, Sun Li and Vicky Zhao are ranked fourth to tenth.

Chart of credibility

‘Market Value of Artistes Chart’ is a combination of various studies of the related subjects. They believe that just being known by the general public is only the first surface for artistes to generate and increase their market value. After the public know the artiste and start to develop feelings for the artiste, it is very useful for the artiste to get increasingly accepted by the public, to get more popular, to increase the value of their works, to get endorsements and to increase their market value.

Through the internet, they did an analysis from the survey of more than 40,000 netizens. The results showed that for the credibility of the artistes, the public favored artistes who are full of passion and energetic. The public are also more willing to accept artistes who are mature, artistes who participated in many events, artistes with stable relationships and artistes with healthy images. The chart showed that it is much easier for the public to accept male artistes than female artistes. The ratings between males artistes are higher and of not much differences. The competition is intense with no distinctive figure.

Artiste from competitions who is positive, enthusiastic and full of passion favored.

In the chart this time around, Han Geng who went to Korea after being selected through the ‘H.O.T in China’ auditions.

Zhang Jie, the representatives of many young new artistes who experienced various big competitions and the boy group of mixed Koreans and Chinese, Top Combine, who was selected from the competition ‘Happy Voices’, since their debut, they went through tough times of experiencing court cases or being doubted by the public.

However, these artistes did not give up on their dreams and career. They faced it with a positive attitude and they showed that they are passionate about their dreams by having new works. In addition, they can sing, dance and is full of energy. Therefore, they are favored and trusted by the public now.

Journey Of A Legend

iFensi Entertainment News

Han Geng, an ex-member of the idol group, Super Junior came back to China to develop his career after filing the case to terminate his contract. However, his popularity skyrocketed instead of it depleting. Concert was held in a glamorous way and every single concert was full. His first solo album, <Geng Xin> continued to occupy the champion spot on the sales chart even weeks after it was released. We can always see him on various variety shows like <Happy Camp> and not forgetting about dramas, he acted alongside with Wu Chun and Da S in a movie, <My Kingdom> that will be screening in the summer season, which until now was still in its filming. (T/N: Filming ended, this article was written quite a while ago)

After that, Han Geng received an invitation from the crew of the Spring Gala. And even after that, this guy did not stop to rest, he changed into a cultural youth after he became a solo artiste and released his first concept book <1221. Han Geng>. According to report, a lot of fans went to queue at the location of the fansign at 3AM in the morning while waiting for Han Geng to appear. His powerful charm was something to talk about. (Script by: Cao Mei)

Being the first Chinese to debut in Korea, there are no examples to follow to become popular. There is no predecessors before him and no successors after. This is a completely new route. There are many Chinese working hard in Korea but up till now, there is still no one who is like Han Geng who started on a clean state and is able to accumulate a high level of popularity within this short span of time so you can already see the shadow of a heavenly king.

Just what kind of personality would become a legend in the Asia entertainment industry? And, Han Geng who has a touching history, what kind of a future belongs to him? I think this is the concern of everyone who had been taking note of Han Geng. Below, is some guesses I, the organizer made, an analysis of Han Geng’s future directions.

1st Route
‘Talented and idol’ Actor
Feasibility: ★★★★★
Success rate: ★★★★

Being a ‘Talented and idol’ actor, just like that name, it means to be an artiste of both talents and looks. When he just debuted, Han Geng already set ‘to be an actor’ as one of his dreams and he received lots of trainings for acting. <Timeless>, <I Will>, <The Left Bank of Happiness>… he had a really good performance in various MV of his junior, Zhang Li Yin. Once, he was a gentle and passionate policeman and in another time, he was a shy and innocent handsome gentleman who is an opera actor. These previous experiences revealed his acting talent.

There were not many chances for Han Geng to present himself in these MV of a few minutes, what really made him well known by directors and the audiences in China. In this youthful and aspiring drama, Han Geng was casted as Xia Lei, a youth who has big dreams to become a superstar. In the end, he finally overcome various obstacles and objections from his family and made his initial dreams come true. From casting to the script, <Stage of Youth> is a drama that looks like it is completely set for Han Geng. In the drama, Han Geng’s fresh and natural presentation attracted a lot of attention of many directors. His performance won many praises from many veterans. He was also successfully nominated in many awards ceremony that year.

<Beijing Welcomes You> was sung during the Beijing Olympics in 2008. In the MV, Han Geng clad in red and with a Chinese brush on his hand, he smiled lightly and acted out for his line in the song.
In <My Kingdom> which was directed by Gao Xiao Song, Han Geng played as an opera performer, Er Kui, this is also his first time challenging in a movie set in the olden days. With a class of many experienced performers, Han Geng’s performance is not bad. Director Gao once expressed that Han Geng is fast at learning new things, his performance is not like ‘someone who is new to acting’, and gave Han Geng the highest praise. Recently, in a movie <The Founding of a Party>, Han Geng acted as the youth Zhao Shi Yan. He looked formal and graceful in his neat suit and emits a sense of being knowledgeable.

2nd Route
An All-Rounder Singer
Feasibility: ★★★★★
Success rate: ★★★

Han Geng’s foundation in dancing is strong and is well known amongst all. He had been learning and exploring traditional ethnic dances for many years, he switched over to learn jazz when he went over to Korea for training. He moved on to class A from class C in three months time. No matter how complicated are the dance steps going to be, he could learn them all perfectly by just looking at it once. Han Geng is definitely one of the most talented dancers who appeared in these many years.

His aptitude in dancing allowed him to be listed in the top 10 even in the Korea’s entertainment industry, where there are so many other talented dancers. It is definitely worthy to call him the king of the stage. It may be due to his fantastic dancing, it is easy to neglect his outstanding singing skills. In his first solo album, <Geng Xin>, there were many different kinds of genres. Be it the sad and slow <Holding an Umbrella> or the fast and catchy <Queen>, Han Geng seems to be able to present them nicely. Currently, there are many outstanding singers in the China’s entertainment industry but there are not many who can both dance and sing. If Han Geng persists on this route, it is possible that he would be the leader of singers of this genre in Mainland China.

3nd Route
Host of Variety Show
Feasibility: ★★★
Success rate: ★★★★

Do you still remember his choppy but hilarious hosting experience in Korea’s variety show, <Love Letter>?

Even though right from the start, Han Geng’s image was set as simple, kind, quiet and gentle by SM (T/N: I disagree! His personality is just like that!), but being the leader of the ‘Ming University Comedy Trio’ (T/N: They meant his school, Central University of Nationalities) when he was a student, his sense of humor as someone from the North-eastern side of China had never changed. After SJ-M debuted, as the leader, Han Geng had no choice but to communicate effectively with the media, hosts, staffs and even the stylists, his schedules were so full that it is just like playing the drums non-stop.

At that time, Han Geng’s heavy work load caused him to fall ill and his gastric problem worsened. But, for the effort he put in and what he received back is definitely balanced. From an unknown small star in China to a hot and popular artiste now. His social circle got bigger and he got familiar with the rules of the entertainment circle in China. Han Geng became a solo artiste in 2009; it was one of the best opportunity. Sense of humor, extremely high ability to adapt and being able to consider the event’s program wholly, it is believed that being an MC is not an impossible mission for Han Geng.

4nd Route
A Boss
Feasibility: ★★★
Success rate: ★★★

Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Huang Shengyi, Zhou Xun… now, there are many artistes who got tired of being chose by directors, they start their own studio using their sources of their own, worked hard and crave out their own career. Han Geng once suffered under the pressure of the company. Many directors and sponsors who only wanted Han Geng did not dare to make a move because of SM Company’s policy and tactics of working as a group. Regarding freedom, Han Geng obviously has more hope and vision than normal beings. In 2007, Han Geng forked out money from his own pocket and opened a dumplings restaurant for his mother. Now, ‘Mei Hua Jia Ren’ already had another branch in Beijing, be it during meal times or during holidays, it would be full. The customers are usually gengfans from all over the world, just to see elegant demeanor of their ‘mother-in-law’. No matter how hot the business is, it still cannot be something to fight for.

Being a boss of your own is not easy, an investment like that needs a thorough analysis. Being a newcomer in China, Han Geng is still in the process of gaining experiences and there are still many things to learn. But when he gets more mature, if Han Geng could start a artiste management company and use his knowledge based on the Korea’s entertainment industry as an input, he may be able to create a new route for himself.

Others:
When talking about Han Geng’s future, Gengfans are always optimistic – he can dance and understands Korean, Han Geng definitely does not need to worry about his meals. Even if he got no fans anymore, he can still be a dance instructor or be a translator. If it still doesn’t work out, he can go back home and open another dumpling restaurant. Of course, these are all just random chatting. The newcomer king, Han Geng is definitely not someone without any ambitions. He already set his target towards ‘the highest stage’. We shall give Han Geng our blessings and look forward to his outstanding performances in the future.

When asked about his plans for 2011, Han Geng hopes that he can continue working on these two paths, on singing, in his next album, he had plans to try composing. And on acting, he also wished to try acting in different kinds of movies.
