Renowned Chinese cinematographer-turned director Gu Changwei's new film "Nice to Meet You," or "Yu Jian Ni Zhen Hao," is hitting theatres on Thursday, March 29, 2018.

"Nice to Meet You" details a number of funny encounters among high school students that set them on a path to love.

The film includes a little-known young cast. However, Gu Changwei's wife, veteran actress Jiang Wenli, plays a supporting role as the head of a school dorm where the stories evolve.

In addition, pop star Wang Yuan of TFBOYS has contributed a song he composed at the age of 14 to help close out the film.
