Wu Lei fainted during diving training for new movie
14 Aug - Wu Lei (aka Leo Wu) recently revealed that he actually fainted during the training for his new movie, "Dongji Rescue". The actor, who spoke to the media during the promotion of the movie, stated that he passed out while doing a stunt due to the pressure on his carotid artery during the rigorous diving training. "I blacked out for about five to six seconds. It felt like a dream," he said. However, Wu Lei emphasised that he experienced no major danger during the actual filming. He also stated that the production team made sure that there were professional divers on location during the shoot, as well as safety personnel. Many of his fans praised Wu Lei for his dedication. However, some are accusing him of just trying to win sympathy and attract attention to the film due to its sluggish box office result. According to mainland media, the movie did not do as well as other movies releasing at the same time. With RMB 57 million at the box office on the third day, the movie is behind the animated feature "Nobody" (at RMB 190 million") and "Dead to Rights", which has made RMB 2.2 billion after 17 days.
