In new movie Lost and Love <失孤>, Andy Lau (劉德華) will drop his glamorous image and portray a farmer who embarks on a 15-year long journey to search for his abducted son. Directed by Peng Sanyuan (彭三源), Lost and Love opens in Mainland China on March 20. During the initial casting process for the film, Peng Sanyuan revealed that Huayi Brothers rejected her request to cast Andy in the main role. Huayi had said that having the superstar portray a wandering vagabond seemed out of place. Peng Sanyuan argued that Andy has been the top Asian idol for 30 years, and seeing Andy going through an image change would create wide public interest. Andy had no qualms about the role and immediately accepted the offer. Peng Sanyuan said if it were not for Andy, the film would not have been made. For the film, Andy traveled around China, including rural areas and developed cities. Due to the film’s open set, many fans were able to witness Andy filming the movie. Portraying a farmer in the movie, Andy would be seen covered in dirt, crouching on the streets and eating dry bread. Andy joked, “I’m not acting. That’s really me!” He also joked that he mastered the technique to use his mouth to eat food and shoo away flies at the same time. In one striking scene, Andy was slapped multiple times in the face by a crowd of workers. Peng Sanyuan said that in order to make the shot convincing, the actors had to film the scenes at least three times to convey the proper angles. Lost and Love will open in China on March 20. The film also stars Jing Boran. Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家輝) and Sandra Ng (吳君如) make cameo appearances.
