In the Beijing suburbs, Wu is bound, gagged and beaten into compliance by Zhang's men. Then Wu is made to witness the execution of Xiao Dou, Zhang's last abducted victim, who failed to have his ransom paid within 24 hours. But Wu steps in to save him, promising to pay both men's ransoms.
To ensure he isn't delivered as a corpse, Wu makes a call to his old friend Mr. Su and asks him to ensure that he is alive before delivering RMB3 million. Wu's calm, intelligence and dignity in the face of death earns Zhang's respect. Zhang leaves for the city in morning, instructing his gang to kill both victims at 9pm if they do not hear from him.
Meanwhile, police vice captain Xing Feng and captain Cao Gang have formed an anti-kidnap task force. After a series of tip-offs, they detain Zhang when he leaves the apartment of his mistress, Chenchen. But Zhang refuses to give up Wu's location without a pardon. As 9pm approaches, the police stage a final desperate rescue attempt based on an unreliable tip and the kidnapping gang, fearing they'll be Zhang's next victims, decides to kill the hostages before the deadline.", "video": { "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "Saving Mr. Wu - Episode 1", "description": "Watch Saving Mr. Wu - Episode 1 online.", "thumbnailUrl": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/drama/eyERYc.jpg", "uploadDate": "2015-12-25", "embedUrl": "https://hndrama.cc/embed/drama/4656/1", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "WatchAction", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://dwish.pro/e/y3rey88qzid0" } }, { "@type": "WatchAction", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://dlions.pro/v/7i538rxnw3jr" } }, { "@type": "WatchAction", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://dood.wf/e/kc7r2us8zuhf" } }, { "@type": "WatchAction", "target": { "@type": "EntryPoint", "urlTemplate": "https://www.mp4upload.com/embed-jo71pelyxjfi.html" } } ] }, "actor": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Andy Lau", "alternateName": "劉德華", "birthDate": "September 27, 1961", "nationality": "Hong Konger", "description": "Andy Lau is a Hong Kong singer, actor, and producer.

Lam gradually developed an interest in acting and pestered various directors until they relented and gave him tiny roles.
Two people played a pivotal role in Lam's acting career. The first is Stephen Chow, who befriended him early on and cast him in movies. The second person is director Johnnie To. Out of more than 80 films that Lam acted in since 1996, at least 20 of those have been directed or produced by To.

Liu was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a young postman in one of his first films, Postmen in the Mountains, at the 1999 Golden Rooster Awards. Shortly after his graduation, Liu won Best Actor at the 38th Golden Horse Awards for his performance as a young homosexual man in Lan Yu. Three years later, he clinched Best Actor with his role in The Foliage at the 24th Golden Rooster Awards. In addition, several of Liu's films have also featured in many international film festivals, for example Lan Yu, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Purple Butterfly and The Floating Landscape.
Instead of making use of his good physical appearance to become a teen idol, Liu has chosen the path of continuously challenging himself by taking on difficult roles. From simple, honest, and down-to-earth "peasant-like" roles, introvert and melancholic personas, to manly and Casanova roles, Liu has not only convinced the audience, but also well-established international directors, of his remarkable acting skills. He has been openly praised and roped in by directors such as Stanley Kwan (Lan Yu), Chen Kaige (The Promise), Zhang Yimou (Curse of the Golden Flower) and John Woo (Blood Brothers), to take part in their major productions.
Liu's first Hollywood film Dark Matter, inspired by a true story in the early 1990s, was screened at major international film festivals in 2007. Starring with actress Meryl Streep, Liu starred as Chinese physics postgraduate Liu Xing. Dark Matter won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was released in the United States in April 2008. Liu's first villainous role was in Connected (2008), a remake of the American film Cellular.
Liu starred in Lu Chuan's 2009 film City of Life and Death, which pays tribute to the victims of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre.
In the 2011 film The Founding of a Party, it was reported that Liu was required to gain 10kg in order to play a 30-year old Mao Zedong, a feat he achieved by eating 20 eggs a day.

Liu married French (of Jewish descent) photographer Anais Martane in Beijing on July 5, 2009. Their first child, a son named Nuoyi, was born on October 10, 2010 in France.
