Wu Lei: Yes, I’m Ready!

OK!: The new film “Asura” starring you will be released in the summer of 2018. What kind of physical training did you undergo for this film?

WL: I trained in some sports such as parkour and rock climbing.

OK!: Do you have many scenes with Carina Lau and Tony Leung in the film? How does it feel to work with these two great seniors?

WL: Working with these two seniors, I feel like I’m taking an exam every day. Every time I wake up, I think: I have another exam today! But after working with them for a while, I felt that I gained a lot.

OK!: Do you really want to film a contemporary drama*? What type of role do you most want to try?

WL: Actually, I just finished shooting a modern drama, “Tomb of the Sea” by Nanpai Sanshu. Although it is not a traditional contemporary drama, it was quite hard to shoot. This drama has plots on school and in desert adventures, which is quite exciting. I hope everyone will pay attention to it.

Note: Contemporary drama (时装戏) is a form of drama that reflects various social issues and real life stories. Contemporary drama is famous for depicting modern life and wearing fashionable clothes.

OK!: If you hadn’t been an actor, what would you have done?

WL: Some time ago, I did some charity work and built a small house for children in the mountains. When I saw the house being built from scratch, I thought, maybe being an architect would be nice too, hahaha, it would be very fulfilling.

OK!: What was your favorite gift on your 18th birthday?

WL: Before the birthday party, many people asked me what gifts I wanted. I always said that your presence at my birthday party was the best blessing, and the two hours I spent with everyone were unforgettable.

OK!: You said before that you would definitely go skydiving when you turned 18. Do you have this plan now? Where would you choose?

WL: Let’s talk about it after I finish the college entrance examination. Now I have to rush to attend classes every day. How can I have time to go skydiving? It’s too luxurious, haha.

OK!: People say you are really warm to your fans. How do you evaluate your fans?

WL: My fans are also very warm-hearted to me, and they are a very brave group of people. They have done a lot for me, and some of them are often waiting at the airport very late at night. I’m quite worried. I hope everyone pays attention to safety and goes home early. I remember you in my heart, haha.

OK!: What kind of world do you think adults should have?

WL: I think adulthood is not a “privilege”, it does not mean that you can do a lot of things that you could not do before. I think adulthood is more like a symbol of “responsibility”. When you grow up, you will have more abilities and you will have to take on more responsibilities. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

OK!: Have you ever been particularly willful because of something? The kind that is not very obedient.

WL: I’m not willful, but sometimes I will insist on my own ideas. If I think it is better and more appropriate to do so, I will try my best to convince the people around me.

OK!: Funny, sincere, sunny, handsome, naturally cute, warm-hearted, good and evil, obedient, rebellious, humble, grow up, ordinary, different… Which of these words do you think is more suitable for you now?

WL: Grow up. The most unavoidable topic at the age of 18 is growth.
