Zhang Chiyu (Jian Lai’s director 🙄) was at Dongji Rescue’s premiere and specifically praised Wu Lei : “The movie was really good, it depicted warmly and powerfully such heavy historical events - the weight of history really immerses the audience in. Not only did we see the power of human nature but we also saw our Chinese people’s righteousness. Congrats Director Hu and Fei, it is really an incredible work. Also thanks to the actors for your wonderful performances. I want to point out Leilei because we’ve discussed before, and I know Leilei practiced diving for Dongji Rescue. Then he succeeded in freediving down to 5m during the shooting. And during the diving, he also had to create his character and complete his performance which is incredibly hard. I really have to congratulate Leilei, all hard work will pay off. Your portrayal of A Dang is really vivid and touching. Being able to create such an excellent character at your young age is… congrats Leilei.”
Awww. Well, whatever happens will happen. He said earlier this year(either in Jan or Feb) that he's thinking he'll…
Okay, this is what I heard: "Sword of Coming," also known as "The One," wasn’t announced during the Tencent Video Conference due to major internal changes, and it will likely be postponed. The platform is reportedly very anxious now, fearing they may not be able to lock in Wu Lei's schedule for much longer.
As for the internal change, it seems that one party in the production requested an increase in their investment proportion, but there was disagreement over it.

Concerning the internet changes, apparently one party in the production requested an increase in investment proportion, but there was disagreement.
One of the most underrated actresses. I wish she would do more dramas
While I understand why some might *feel* Ni Ni is underrated—especially if they’re outside China—the data and industry recognition tell a different story. She’s actually one of China’s most celebrated actresses:
- Award-Winning Talent: Debuted in Zhang Yimou’s *The Flowers of War* (2011), winning Best New Performer at the Asian Film Awards, and recently took home the Golden Deer Award (2023) for *Lost in the Stars*.
- Box Office Dominance: Her films gross massively (*Lost in the Stars* earned **¥3.5B/$483M** in 2023).
- Global Influence: A Gucci ambassador since 2017 and face of Lancôme/Tiffany & Co.—brands that only partner with top-tier stars. - Critical Acclaim: Lead roles in hits like *The Rise of Phoenixes* (Douban 8.1) and consistent award nominations (Golden Rooster, Magnolia).
Her work isn’t ‘underrated’; it’s **highly respected within China and increasingly recognized worldwide**. If anything, she’s proof that talent + hustle *does* get its due! 🙌
Concerning dramas, it's a personal choice, she works on movies much more than dramas. Good news, two dramas of her were confirmed today in Tencent Conference, so I am looking forward to watch them when they will come out.
Awww. Well, whatever happens will happen. He said earlier this year(either in Jan or Feb) that he's thinking he'll…
Yes, he mentioned that he would take on at least one project this year—he said this during an interview with Youko, which I shared in the comments earlier.
I was under the impression that the schedule I saw was official, though it might not have been. That said, he did attend the other events listed on it, and they were all film-related.
To be honest, I’ve been quietly optimistic for several months that a drama starring him would be announced at the Tencent Video Conference. But I held back from saying anything publicly to avoid raising false expectations. My optimism came from his meeting with Tencent representatives, where he was reportedly offered two dramas—one of them being The One. I even saw footage of him leaving the meeting with his mother.
Just recently, I came across another rumor about a different drama also set to be produced by Tencent.
So, let’s wait and hope for a drama confirmation soon.
Thank you for sharing.And that June 23: Tencent Video Conference...hmmm....
Well, It's Tencent Video Conference, during the event several Tencent dramas will be announced (including the one linked to Wu Lei). Since he is attending the event, that's an indication that most likely he has a project that will be announced, we will see!
I am tired of rumors, I just want something to be officially announced. :D
Wu Lei underwent special training to be able to hold his breath underwater for 4 minutes, which is truly a testament to his dedication, isn't it? But what's truly mind-blowing is that he previously had a phobia of the deep sea! So, not only did he master diving and maintain a single-digit body fat percentage after hundreds of days of intensive training, but he also overcame his phobia in the process.

he was rumored to be the ML for this drama too :

If you ask me, he should have received years ago

I am tired of rumors, I just want something to be officially announced. :D
At the moment, the word on the street is that the FL is Liu Hao Cun. We will see how that will turn out.
And I would be shocked if Wu Lei isn't the ML.
Also, I may be reading too much into this, but I think he confirmed the role indirectly few days ago :

It looks like he is already channeling the energy of the “rumored role”... 👌
He is smart and knows what he is doing or maybe he is just being playful with his sister
