"Heave-ho, heave-ho—"
In a private gym in San Francisco, filled with various fitness equipment, the thudding sounds resonated as a long black punching bag swung to and fro. Daniel Wu concentrated as he kept pounding it relentlessly; he wore a white tank top, his hands were wrapped in thick red boxing gloves, and beads of sweat had saturated his black hair, now dripping down his forehead and plip-plopping onto the floor. His muscles weren't as exaggerated as those in concept drawings, yet they were decidedly those of a "big guy."
Since receiving a call from Wang Yang last June, Wu had hired a professional team of nutritionists and fitness coaches to begin a weight-gain plan. In the meantime, "MIT-21-TEAM" was released to great success, and many Chinese media outlets dubbed him Hollywood's new Asian star, hoping he'd become the next Jackie Chan, Jet Li, or Zhou Run. As for reaching the legendary status of Bruce Lee, no one dared to mention that.
