With her new comedy Hi Mom, comedian-turned-director Jia Ling broke through the reign of male directors during the biggest box office period in China and now the world – the Chinese New Year vacation period.
隨著賈玲的電影《你好,李煥英》的上映，喜劇演員轉型導演的賈玲突破了一直由男性導演掌控的春節檔高票房的現狀。
With a cumulating box office of 1.8 billion RMB as of the end of Feb. 15, she broke records set previously by Rene Liu’s Us and Them (1.3 billion RMB ) to become the female director with the highest box office in China.
截至2月15日，她的累計票房已達18億元人民幣，打破了此前女性導演劉若英《後來的我們》創下的13億元票房紀錄，成為中國票房最高的女導演。
The film written, directed, and starring Jia Ling is also the first non-animated film opening in the period to have a woman as the top-billing actor, the first to be told from a female perspective, and the first to star two women (the other one being her long-time collaborator and co-star Zhang Xiaofei). Congrats, Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei!
這部由賈玲導演和主演的電影也是該時期第一部大女主非動畫電影，第一部從女性的角度來講述，由兩位女性演員主演的電影(另一個是她的長期合作者張小斐)。祝賀你們，賈玲，張小斐！
