The principals of the new Chinese romantic comedy Finding Mr. Right 2 have met with the media in Beijing to promote the new film.

Director Xue Xiaolu, along with actor Wu Xiubo and actress Tang Wei, has taken part in the event.

Xue says despite the name, Finding Mr. Right 2 is not a follow-up to the original film released in 2013.

Lead actor Wu Xiubo says audiences are going to like the story in the new film.

"If we say that Finding Mr. Right revolves around a love story, then this movie tells the origin of love and why humans need love."

This is the first time actress Tang Wei has been in the public since announcing she was pregnant.

The previous romance Finding Mr. Right raked in over 500 million yuan when it hit theaters in 2013.

Finding Mr. Right 2 opens in China on April 29.
