Wonderland.

“We shot during the height of summer in Hengdian
World Studios, where the heat was intense. Each
fight scene took over a week to film. We’d spend
entire days doing wire work, which would later
be edited down to maybe ten minutes on screen.
Luckily, after some early training, I was able to
keep up physically. I genuinely felt this was a
script worth putting in the effort for.”

In a personal letter, rising star Simon Gong pulls
back the curtain on Blood River—a high-stakes
assassin saga where sweat, wire work, and a
crumbling code of honour collide. As principled
warrior Su Muyu, he’s stepping into his action era.
Meet your next on-screen obsession.
