Book of Love

Book of Love, also titled Finding Mr. Right 2 in English, is a 2016 Chinese-Hong Kong romance film directed and written by Xue Xiaolu and starring Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo. It was released in China by EDKO (Beijing) Distribution on April 29, 2016. Book of Love is director-writer Xue Xiaolu's follow-up to the 2013 hit Finding Mr. Right, and it reunites her with lead actors Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo from the first movie, although the two films' plots are not related. Notably, the two leads have separate storylines throughout the movie, only communicating with each other through handwritten letters until their first meeting towards the end of the film. Plot Jiao Ye (played by Tang Wei) is a casino hostess in Macau who accompanies customers as they gamble and earns a living from their tips. Her father, who brought her to Macau from mainland China, was an inveterate gambler who has since died, leaving her with a large pile of debts and a gambling habit of her own. Despite this, she is a good-natured girl who balances her money problems with a longing to find some meaning in her life and a boyfriend she has feelings for. Daniel Luo (Wu Xiubo) is a real estate broker in Los Angeles who moved there with his parents from Beijing 20 years prior, although they subsequently divorced and both returned to China. Daniel has since built an outwardly successful life for himself in California, selling properties to wealthy Chinese buyers, but his parents' divorce when he was young still affects him, and he refuses to get into any kind of close emotional relationship.
