[News] Ruco Chan Injures Eye While Filming “ATF Counter Terrorism Unit”

Filming a gunfire scene for ATF Counter Terrorism Unit <ATF反恐>yesterday, Ruco Chan’s (陳展鵬) eye was injured by a trajectile glass shard. The glass chip injured the corner of Ruco’s eye and almost cost him his vision. Ruco admitted that the incident made him anxious. He will be more careful in the filming of upcoming action scenes.

Yesterday, Ruco filmed a scene for ATF Counter Terrorism Unit in which a detonated bomb resulted in broken glass injuring the corner of his eye. Ruco started bleeding immediately. The onsite crew were very nervous and the action choreography aided him immediately. Fortunately, the glass shard did not enter his eye and there was no need to get stitches at the hospital.

In a telephone interview, Ruco said that ATF Counter Terrorism Unit had numerous action sequences, thus injuries were inevitable. “It is necessary to make the advance preparations prior to filming action sequences. This series has a lot of action sequences. To-date, I have been able to handle [the physical requirements] of the scenes. In the upcoming scenes, I will have to jump from one building rooftop to another rooftop, as well as perform some dangerous stunts underneath a fast-moving vehicle on a highway. I do feel the pressure.”

Asked whether he was anxious as a result of his eye injury, Ruco said, “Yes, I do feel a bit anxious. If the glass had entered my eye, the injury would have been more severe. I will be more careful in the future. My colleague who had timed the bomb explosion felt the greatest pressure.”

The reporter noted that Ron Ng (吳卓羲) was also injured on numerous occasions from filming ATF Counter Terrorism Unit. Ruco said, “Yes, everyone has to be more careful.” Allegedly, Ruco’s onscreen time matched Ron’s role in the series. Ruco said, “I will not dwell on the amount of screen time. I will only focus on whether the role offers good opportunities on an acting level.”
