Sony Pictures had acquired international distribution (发行) rights to “YOLO”, a mainland Chinese comedy film that released in China on Saturday, the first day of the Chinese New Year holiday.
“YOLO” is short for “You Only Live Once”. The film is written, directed by and stars Jia Ling, China’s most commercially successful female filmmaker ever. Jia plays Le Ying, an unemployed woman in her thirties who still lives with her parents until one day, she meets a boxing coach (played by Lei Jiayin), and later finds strength and hope in boxing training and transforms her life.
The actress-director lost 50 kilograms in her six-month portrayal (饰演) of the boxer, which became a hot topic on social media and became a promotional focus for the film. The drama “YOLO” is currently topping the Chinese box office with its motivational storyline.
Jia’s first feature was “Hi, Mom”, a heartwarming film in which a young woman, whose mother has been fatally injured in a car accident, travels back to the early 1980s. There, she becomes best friends with the younger version of her mother and is able to work on giving her mother a better life than the first time around.
“Hi, Mom” released at the mainland China box office during the Chinese New Year holiday period three years ago and earned RMB5.41 billion ($750 million at current exchange rates). That made it the world’s highest earning movie directed by a solo female until it was overtaken by “Barbie” last year. Sony recently announced it had acquired the English remake rights to “Hi, Mom”, which is currently in development, with Jia executive producing. Escape Artists is producing along with She Wenxin and Laura Kosann adapting the script (剧本).
Sony has not yet revealed its North American or international release strategies for “YOLO”. These may be influenced by matters over the next few days.
