Chinese mainland actor Huang Xiaoming and Hong Kong model Angelababy will co-star in the film "A Sentimental Story," M1905.com reports.

The film entitled "Yi Chang Feng Hua Xue Yue De Shi" in Chinese is being directed by Gao Qunshu who shot "The Message" and "Wind Blast." It tells the story of a policewoman named Lv Yueyue who investigates a stolen national treasure and eventually ends up in a fight with gangsters. At the same time, she is trying to deal with a complicated romantic relationship and family conflict.

The film is based on a 1995 television series that made mainland actress-director Xu Jinglei well-known throughout China.

Gao said he chose Angelababy as the lead actress because she could speak English and Korean and portray a beautiful and tender character.

Work on the film is ongoing. The screening date has yet to be announced.
