The film premiered in Shanghai last Saturday and is slated for a release nationwide this fall.
Guy Pearce showed up for the closing ceremony of the 14th Shanghai International Film Festival Sunday night.
The low-profile Hollywood star made a good impression to locals when he landed in the city without a big entourage and looked as accessible as any other foreign traveler.
It marks Pearce's first visit to China and he hopes Chinese would watch his movie.
Directed by Australian Chinese Pauline Chan, the film tells a story about a Chinese orphan Mei Mei (Zhu Lin) who sets out to find her Australian sponsor and pen friend, Dean Randall (Pearce) when their orphanage travels to Australia for a choir festival. However what she finds is far from what he depicted. Initially mismatched and disconnected the two begin a journey in search of belonging and acceptance.
This is the second official co-production film between Australia and China.
Guy Pearce is known for his roles in Christopher Nolan's "Memento," and 2008 film "The Hurt Locker" as well as 2010 Best Picture Oscar winner "The King's Speech."
He gave a nuanced performance in this small-budget film featured no other big stars. Pearce said, he was just captivated by the story and moved by the script by Pauline Chan.
