In addition, when talked about John Woo Yu-Sen new film – Love and Let Love which was initially to start shooting in March but due to issues with crew members and was delayed to July thus Andy had to redraw from the cast due to crashes with other work commitments. Some magazine pointed out that Andy made many requests thus John Woo took him off the cast. Andy expressed that he was disappointed not to be involved in a John Woo film and he hope that he would like to get the chance to collaborate with him because he had never collaborated with him. With schedule crashed, he also does not wish to make each other difficult. With regards to allegations that he made a lot of requests, Andy said: “John Woo is a good man, I got worried after reading the news, but upon seeing John stand out and made a clarification, I respect him, I was still thinking how to explain myself. This is the trust between human.”
