Sony Pictures has acquired the English-language remake rights to Chinese comedy drama, “Hi, Mom,” which until recently overtaken by “Barbie” had been the world’s highest grossing film directed by a solo female.

 索尼影业拿下了国产喜剧片《你好，李焕英》的英文翻拍权。直到最近《芭比》才超越该片，成为全球票房最高的女性独立导演影片。

 The original picture, directed by Jia Ling and released in early 2021, sees a young woman whose mother has been fatally injured in a car accident, travel back to the early 1980s where she becomes best friend to the younger version of her mother. That enables her to work on giving her mother a better life than first time around.

 原版影片由贾玲执导，于2021年年初上映。影片讲述了贾晓玲的母亲遭遇严重车祸，贾晓玲穿越到上世纪 80 年代初，在那里她与年轻时的母亲成为了好朋友。贾晓玲希望通过努力让母亲过上比第一次更好的生活。

 Variety‘s review of the picture said it had an “inspired storytelling switch” and was “a top-notch tearjerker that will have viewers everywhere reaching for the tissues.”

 《综艺》杂志对该片的评价称，该片“故事的转换充满灵感”，是“一部优秀的催泪片，会让所有观众伸手去拿纸巾”。

 Laura Kosann is in the early stages of development, and is adapting the screenplay with Escape Artists’ Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Becky Sanderman producing along with Wenxin She (“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”). Jia is also attached as executive producer.

 Laura Kosann正处于早期开发阶段，她正在改编剧本，Todd Black、Jason Blumenthal、Steve Tisch和Becky Sanderman与Wenxin She（《邻里美好的一天》）共同担任制片人。原版贾玲也将担任执行制片人。

“I am looking forward to this cooperation and I am so glad that my story with my mom can be shared with more people. I believe that while everyone’s story with their mom is unique, the love in these stories is universal and something we can all resonate with,” Jia said.

 “我很期待这次合作，也很高兴我和妈妈的故事能和更多人分享。我相信，虽然每个人与妈妈的故事都是独一无二的，但这些故事中饱含的爱是普世的，我们都会有共鸣，”贾玲说。

 The original story, known in Chinese as “Hello, Li Huanying,” Jia’s late mother’s real name, was developed by Jia from a comedy sketch of the same name that she wrote in 2016. Production of the feature began in 2019 with production by Beijing Jingxi Culture.

 原著中文名为《你好，李焕英》，是贾玲已故母亲的本名，由贾玲在2016年创作的同名喜剧小品发展而来。该片于2019年开机，由北京京西文化公司出品。

 Jia co-starred as the young woman, while Zhang Xiaofei played the younger version of her mother.

贾玲在剧中饰演年轻女子贾晓玲，而张小斐则饰演年轻版的母亲。

“Hi, Mom” was released in February 2021, timed to coincide with the Chinese New Year peak box office season, and grossed RMB5.41 billion (some $841 million at current exchange rates), making it the third highest performing film of all time in China.

 《你好，李焕英》于 2021 年 2 月上映，正值春节档票房旺季，总票房达 54.1 亿元人民币（按当前汇率约合 8.41 亿美元），成为中国有史以来票房第三的电影。

 The film likely benefitted from the empathy of many audiences separated from their own families by COVID restrictions. But it also scored highly on audience ratings charts and earned screenplay and directing awards for Jia and multiple acting awards for Zhang.

 该片的成功可能得益于许多观众因新冠疫情而与家人隔离的心情。但除此之外，该片在观众收视率排行榜上也得到了很高的赞誉。贾玲获得了编剧和导演奖，张小斐获得了多个表演奖项。
