“Love Lies,” which will premiere at the 48th Hong Kong Intl. Film Festival, tells the tale of an internet romance scam. Ng recommended Cheung, a singer, to the producer. “I watched his concert and totally became intoxicated by him. He has such a charming stage presence, and he’s so handsome. He is totally convincing as an online conman. I’m telling you, he can charm people of all genders and age groups!” Ng shared in a press release.
