"YOLO," which stands for "you only live once," is as you might expect the theme director-slash-actress Jia Ling aims to convey in her new film. The film will attempt to repeat the phenomenal success of her directorial debut "Hi, Mom," which earned a staggering 5.41 billion yuan after its release during 2021's Spring Festival, becoming the third highest-grossing Chinese film ever. This time, Jia returns to China's most prolific film season with a Chinese remake of the critically acclaimed Japanese film "100 Yen Love" (2014). Jia revealed that she lost an incredible 50kg to make the film and has been absent from all promotional events so as to build suspense around her appearance until the last moment before the film hits screens. The story follows an overweight, disheartened woman who has become isolated from society. However, after meeting a boxing coach and pursuing the sport, she starts to regain her passion and finds her way in life.
