Nancy Wu Full of Bruises After Filming “A Fist Within Four Walls”
TVB actress Nancy Wu (胡定欣) earlier attended a wrap-up dinner in Tsim Sha Tsui for her new martial arts series, A Fist Within Four Walls <城寨英雄>. True to its theme, the cast shot a fight scene in almost every episode. Despite the tedious filming process, Nancy exclaimed everything was worth it when they saw the final playback results.
The 34-year-old actress happily expressed, “We’re finally done filming! Finally endured it! I heard that this series has the most fight scenes in TVB within the past decade. We fought for three months, and the whole cast is now strong!” When asked if Nancy developed muscles from the intense workouts, she replied, “I always had muscles, but now there are bruises as well. It’s good that we persisted until the end!”
Nancy shared that her entire arm was bruised after she completed her first fight scene. “It was because I had to do somersaults on the cement. I wasn’t very skilled at the time and knocked my arm. I also had to use both real and fake knives during the shooting process. Even with the fake ones, I was scared of harming my colleague. To an extent, there was also psychological stress involved!”
When asked if her boyfriend Terry Chan (陳明道) is worried about her bruised body, she remarked, “My entire group of friends were shocked to see me with all the bruises and asked what had happened. They told me to be careful and not push myself too hard. I didn’t use a stunt double for the majority of the scenes.” Nancy added that she would not be filming another drama like this in a while, since it exerted a lot of effort and energy. “There were also a lot of heavy emotional scenes. There was blood, sweat, and tears!”

Sounds like an intensive both physically and emotionally role. BA in the making type of role perhaps?
Hopefully it’s not half way done like “gloves come off” , totally dropped the main theme and just focused on the love story. Nancy looks really good in these types of role. I’ll be looking forward to this and the one she’s in with Bobby!
I felt that artist transformation are sometimes amazing and unexpected. Once, I saw Nancy whose face appeared to be slightly chubby and maybe having slight water retention and not her usual fit self.Hence,I thought she had put on weight or maybe those photo are edited(To some extend it is).The next day I saw her again and she was fit with no signs of water retention.Even her tummy was super flat and she appeared very fit during her performance. Although it was noted that she exercised in the morning,still the difference was huge.
Work hard Nancy, but be careful. >.<
