From Manga Adaptation to Live Action: Rising to Stardom on the One Piece Set

[Manga-to-Live-Action Adaptations] [Acting Showdown] [Not a Copycat]

Luo Xiangfeng is reborn in a parallel world, saddled from the start with 200 million in debt and just 24 hours left to live.

System: Want to stay alive? Your only option is acting!

The day he was dragged onto the set of One Piece as an extra, the director was at his wits’ end. They couldn’t find anyone to play young Law in his White Lead Disease state. Then he turned and spotted Luo Xiangfeng in the corner, pale-faced and so weak he could barely stand. The director’s eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this guy a White Lead Disease patient straight out of the manga?

From then on, the live-action manga adaptation scene in this world was hit with a whole new level of competition.

A popular young star heard Accelerator was a villain and refused the role without even reading the script.

Luo Xiangfeng: You’re telling me I can have this role? I’m in!

The director was stunned: This monster turned the villain into a hidden second male lead, and his popularity crushed the protagonist’s.

A child star was unhappy that Edward was disabled, refused to wear a mechanical prosthetic, and threw a tantrum on set.

Luo Xiangfeng: Thanks for giving me the Fullmetal Alchemist script for free, boss.

Subaru Natsuki from Re:Zero, Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, the Captain from Attack on Titan, the Princess from Fate/Stay Tonight, Tanjiro from Demon Slayer, Qi from Scissor Seven...

Every mess nobody else wanted became a hit of the season in his hands.

From a minor extra who could drop dead at any moment to an actor hailed as a legend by audiences, he risked his life to keep breaking through the ceiling of live-action manga adaptations.

The industry’s top action director declared: I’ve turned down countless award-winning actors just to wait for him. The lead role of Battosai in Rurouni Kenshin belongs to Luo Xiangfeng and no one else!
