WHEN A-Wei of Taiwanese band Lollipop F went to China to work on a film for seven months, he jokingly lamented that nobody in the group missed him at all.

His revelation drew laughs from the other members of the Mando-pop quartet during an interview last month at the 56th Asia Pacific Film Festival in Macau, where they performed during the awards ceremony.

The 28-year-old singer- actor was working on The Four 2, a sequel to the 2012 fantasy martial arts blockbuster directed by Gordan Chan.
