On February 10, according to Variety, Sony Pictures won the global distribution rights (excluding mainland China) of the Spring Festival comedy film "YOLO" directed by Jia Ling, and will release it in North America and many countries around the world. It will be launched locally

This is the first time that Sony Pictures did not participate in the production of a mainland film but purchased the global distribution rights. It is also the first domestic film that Sony Pictures released globally after 9 years. This deal is very special. Hollywood has set a precedent for Jia Ling, which can be said to be "unprecedented." According to people familiar with the matter, Sony quickly finalized the decision after an internal screening event, without waiting for the film to be officially released and tested by the market before making a decision. It is worth noting that Sony plans to provide theatrical distribution for "Hot and Furious" rather than streaming network distribution. In addition, Sony recently won the rights to remake the English version of "Hello, Li Huanying" directed by Jia Ling.

It is worth mentioning that Sony Pictures, as the leading film and television company in Hollywood, has established a complete global distribution system as early as when Hollywood commercial blockbusters swept the global box office market, and has the ability to make "Hot and Spicy" popular around the world. Achieve a distribution scale comparable to that of Hollywood commercial films!

"Hot and Spicy" is a remake of the Japanese film "One Hundred Dollars of Love" and is the second film directed by Jia Ling. Starring Jia Ling, Lei Jiayin , Zhang Xiaofei , Sha Yi , Zhao Haiyan, Zhang Qi, Xu Juncong, Bu Yu, Zhu Tianfu, Liu Honglu, Yang Zi, Li Xueqin, Shen Chunyang, Shen Tao, Ma Li, Qiao Shan , Wei Xiang and others starred in it, telling the story of a "home girl" who broke away from society and decided to find a new life and started boxing training.

"Hot and Spicy" has been officially released today! The previous pre-sale box office reached 184 million yuan, and the pre-sale box office on New Year's Day was 160 million yuan. According to Maoyan's pre-sale image characteristics, "Hot and Spicy" is the movie with the most female users during this year's Spring Festival. Maoyan currently predicts that the film's final box office in mainland China will reach 2.895 billion yuan.
