Prada Names China’s Hottest Comedian-turned-director Jia Ling Brand Ambassador

Jia, whose career began as a Chinese comedian, became a breakout star with her live performances during the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Jia made her directorial and performance debut in 2021 with “Hi, Mom,” a moving tribute to her mom.

With 5.4 billion renminbi, or $745.7 million, in box office sales, the blockbuster film made Jia the highest-grossing Chinese female director in Chinese movie history, a record she held for two years until Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” made its Chinese cinema debut.

In February 2024, Jia topped the box office charts again with “Yolo,” which she directed and starred in.
