The film "Rescue Mr. Wu" can be described as full of sincerity, the director lived with the police in the police station for several months before filming, and also consulted a large number of files, including Wu Ruofu's kidnapping case, and did his homework. Andy Lau, who plays the kidnapped actor, is also very desperate, in the filming process he has up to 80% of the time to be handcuffed, chained and shackled, etc., and even in order to try to force Allah ask the actors in the play to strangle him with wires, even strangled to the point of suffocation.
