"Hi, Mom" ​​Super Wonder Woman Jia Ling Becomes the World's Highest-grossing Female Director

In the 2021 Spring Festival, Jia Ling's "Hello, Li Huanying" is undoubtedly the biggest winner. As of March 25, Jia Ling's work "Hello, Li Huanying" has exceeded 5.346 billion yuan in the mainland box office, officially defeating "Wonder Woman" and becoming the world's highest-grossing female director's work (single film directed alone).

Previously, the highest-grossing film directed by a female director worldwide was "Wonder Woman" (2017), directed by Patty Jenkins, with a global box office of US$821 million, or about RMB 5.345 billion. Now, the box office has been surpassed by "Hello, Li Huanying".

Jia Ling has become the highest-grossing female director in the world (single-film directing alone), and "Hello, Li Huanying" has become the highest-grossing film in the world (single-film directing alone) directed by a female director.

This news actually caused a misunderstanding. When the box office of "Hi, Mom" ​​reached 5.302 billion on March 20, some media reported that Jia Ling became the highest-grossing female director in the world. However, the global box office of "Wonder Woman" was 5.345 billion, so "Hello, Li Huanying" did not beat "Wonder Woman" at that time.

"Hello, Li Huanying" will also be released around the world, including Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, South Korea in Asia, Australia, New Zealand in Oceania, the United States, Canada in North America, Spain, the United Kingdom in Europe, and Colombia in South America. More countries and regions are being unlocked one after another.

"Hello, Li Huanying" is adapted from the 2016 skit of the same name. It is Jia Ling's directorial debut and has been rated by many viewers as "the most touching work of the Spring Festival". Jia Ling is the screenwriter and starring Jia Ling, Shen Teng, Chen He, Zhang Xiaofei and others. The film is adapted from the skit of the same name and Jia Ling's personal experience. The Li Huanying in the title is Jia Ling's deceased mother. The film tells the story of actress Jia Xiaoling, who, after experiencing the grief of "the child wants to support the parents but the parents are no longer there", travels through time and space back to the past to touch the story of young parents and their dreams.
