▍原文
Sony Pictures has acquired the English language remake rights to the Chinese comedy drama directed by Jia Ling.
It is one of the highest grossing local films in history, making almost 850 million at the box office when it was released in 2021.
The film, which was also written by Ling, became the top-grossing film ever from a solo female director, a feat only recently succeeded by Greta Gerwig and “Barbie.”
