After losing a hundred pounds in weight, Jia Ling, who had disappeared for a whole year, finally appeared, and the biggest secret at the beginning of 2024 was finally revealed.
14 years ago in the New Year, the thin Jia Ling made her debut at the Spring Festival Gala and brought the song "Big Talk Tease" to everyone. At that time, Jia Ling was still young in the eyes of many people, but she was quickly familiar and loved by the audience. During that period, she was a young cross talk performer.
After 14 years, Jia Ling reappeared again in the New Year after losing 100 pounds of weight, and brought her new film "Hot and Hot". In this film, Jia Ling challenges a role she has never set foot in before, showing the talent of the director and the versatility of the actor. This time, she took on the dual role of director and actress.
Jia Ling showed the changes over the years on the big screen, she said: "In the movie, we can see a former me, and at the same time there is a new me. ”
In the year that Jia Ling disappeared, she was constantly being searched for on the Internet, and at the same time, she was also trying to find a new self. Jia Ling embarked on a long road of searching for her dreams, crossing the sea of people, looking for her own light. With the release of the movie, the search activities of netizens gradually stopped, but Jia Ling's search is still ongoing.
Looking for an outlet in the field of cross talk.
For Jia Ling, the Spring Festival has a unique symbolic meaning, and it marks the dawn of her seven-year difficult life.
Within five minutes after the bell rang for the New Year in 2010, Jia Ling walked to the center of the stage with the sound of the host of the Spring Festival Gala. There was intermittent applause from the audience, and the sound of balloons also sounded. At the time of the midnight bell, a large number of balloons were released, and a group of people were busy stepping on the balloons in the audience.
Jia Ling had to raise her voice and complete a performance of "Big Talk", and in the thank you session, the audience's warm applause poured into her like a tide. "On stage, only by playing yourself thoroughly can you infect the audience. She suddenly recalled what her ** Feng Gong had said:
When you walk on stage, your applause represents the audience's recognition of your past few years, and the applause when you leave the stage is an affirmation of your work. ”
Jia Ling realized that she had achieved success.
After the performance, she excitedly dialed ** to go home, but she didn't expect her father and sister to say, we can't hear what you're talking about at all, and firecrackers have been crackling outside.
She finally came to her senses, and yes, given the country's population of 1.4 billion, let's say 700 million people go out to set off firecrackers, and the 700 million people sitting in front of the TV don't seem to hear what we're talking about.
Fortunately, there is an opportunity to replay on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and with the help of the replay effect of the Spring Festival Gala, many people learned that there is a female cross talk actor named Jia Ling in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
In that particular year, she was only 27 years old.

Years later, Jia Ling has become a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, and when she mentioned the hardships she had experienced in the past again, she confidently said: "It's all because of the pain you have endured, and God has given you the reward you deserve." ”
However, these pains did not disappear completely over time, but instead left indelible marks on her body, shaping her into the Jia Ling she is now.
When Jia Ling graduated, she encountered a downturn in the cross talk market, coupled with the fact that few women participated in cross talk performances, so her performance opportunities were extremely limited, with only one small theater a week, and the income of one performance was even less than 100 yuan. Jia Ling practiced diligently every day and continued to study cross talk skills. She has a career in performing cross talk, and it is difficult to maintain even basic living needs, and she often needs to rely on her sister's financial assistance to maintain.
Jia Dan's sister's salary is more than 1,000 yuan, and she gives half of it to Jia Dan every month. Jia Dan relented and gave Jia Ling another year. Due to the slow progress of her work, Jia Ling arranged a position at a high-speed toll booth in her hometown and often persuaded her to go home. Whenever this happens, Jia Ling will plead with her sister, "Give me another year, and I will definitely succeed." ”
When the situation became irreparable, she had no choice but to leave with **Feng Gong. Feng Gong took a deep look at Jia Dan, his eyes full of helplessness and pity. Feng Gong promised Jia Dan: "If Jia Ling can't even make a basic living in Beijing in the future, then please come to me, Feng Gong." Jia Dan nodded silently, grateful in her heart, Feng Gong's promise made her feel very comforted. When the conversation turned to this point, Jadan had to give up.
Young and energetic, Jia Ling has an indescribable self-confidence, she is convinced that she is destined to become popular, and even threatens to rewrite the history of comedy. She couldn't understand, "Why can't I talk about cross talk?" Why can't I make the audience laugh? ”
Jia Ling's life is similar to that of many of the early days of Beipiao, where she lives in a modest bungalow with a monthly rent of 400 yuan, and a bed as soon as she steps through the door. Jia Ling smiled and stroked the dog's head, thinking that this might be an opportunity, so she began to name the dog "Wangcai", and every day after work, she walked with Wangcai, and gradually, her life became no longer lonely. The landlord had a dog in her house, and she often ran to her room to play, and when she came to her friend, she said, "Look, dogs come into your house with their tails wagging." ”
In the cold winter months, the only electricity and heating that are used are electricity due to the lack of heating. She doesn't dare to use it for a long time, but whenever the heater is a little warmer, she immediately hides under the covers and then turns it off. She spent long days in a small room, like a captivity during the day and a criminal on the run by night. In the past month, since she did not have enough funds to pay the rent, in order to avoid conflicts with the landlord, she locked herself in her room every day, even if the landlord knocked on the door, she would not open it, and did not dare to leave quietly until late at night.
However, there are also some things that are difficult to change with sustained effort and strong will.
When Jia Ling was a child, she read in a book by Chi Li: Men should not eat melon seeds, and women should not perform cross talk. She began to think about the deep meaning of this sentence, perhaps reminding people to pay attention to their own cultivation and temperament. At that time, she smiled softly, thinking that it was well-founded.
After becoming a cross talk actress, she supported this point of view even more, she felt that women performing cross talk were like entering the bathroom by mistake, and in order to gain a foothold here, she had to force herself to become a bath worker.
Since ancient times, the art of cross talk has always been the domain of men. When Jia Ling stepped into this field, her most obvious embarrassment was the need to change her outfit. Since the female comedian did not have a changing room, she had to go to the bathroom to change her clothes. As soon as she encounters a queue at the toilet, she will change it outside, take a deep breath, and say, "If there is no way, then take it off." ”
The influence of tradition is hard to shake. Cross talk is not completely female-centric works, most of them are male and female cross talk, and the subject matter is relatively limited, mainly focusing on couples. The female character is usually a little daughter-in-law who has a bad life, and although it seems to be a tease on the surface, in fact all the burden is borne by the man. The same is true of Jia Ling's role when she was younger, she refers to herself as a "vase".
In specialized cross talk performances, male and female cross talk is usually not arranged in the opening part because "the cross talk performance of one man and one woman is very incongruous. ”

As a female cross talk performer, Jia Ling encountered many difficulties and challenges in this process.
Cross talk is an art form of self-ridicule, and many male cross talk actors are not suitable for women. In cross talk, the appreciation psychology of female audiences is no different from that of men, but some lines in cross talk make people feel a little special, especially some words that "don't know how to say it" are more likely to cause misunderstanding. Female comedian performers need to be precise about the boundaries of their performances, "neither too clever nor too cunning, and a little humorous, but never too exaggerated." ”
Jia Ling tried to break through the south wall, but it only shook slightly, and then returned to its original position.
She first proposed the concept of cool comedy and incorporated elements of stage comedy into cross talk. With her participation in the Spring Festival Gala's work "Big Talk", the theme of male and female cross talk is no longer limited to husband and wife, but the possibility of innovation is greatly reduced, and this work was originally adapted based on male and male cross talk.
One day, she realized that no matter how much effort and energy she put into front of the stage, she didn't perform as well as her partner Bai Kenan, and gently furrowed his figure-eight eyebrows. "Maybe I should stop and re-examine my performance. She told Kenan Bai with a sense of loss
Big brother, I don't plan to talk about cross talk anymore in the future. ”

Follow the path of free performance.
In order to continue her comedy career, Jia Ling decided to delve into the creation of sketches.
In 2015, Jia Ling participated in a comedy competition called "Happy Comedian", which contains 6 works in each episode, and there is a last-place elimination link every week, which leaves a very short week for her creation.
The time pressure is huge, and Jia Ling spends every day in an atmosphere of tension and panic. Finally, with unremitting efforts, Jia Ling completed all the recording tasks. During the three months that she was recording this show, she did her best every day to rehearse and go home even in the morning rush hour, which made her emotionally broken down at one point and even considered quitting show business.
She did her best to amuse the audience, but the end result did not live up to people's expectations.
In the whole process of the competition, there were 12 episodes of programs and 72 works, but only Song Xiaobao once said: "There are many people who hate me, how much do you count?" There was silence in the audience, and then there was a round of applause. Jia Ling said with a hint of helplessness: "It's really difficult. ”
In addition, Jia Ling often has to deal with various criticisms and criticisms of her work.
The TV series "Mulan" starring Jia Ling aroused huge social repercussions as soon as it was broadcast, and a large number of viewers felt that she was spoofing Mulan, shaping a heroic character into a cute girl who was unfilial and afraid of life and death.
Immediately afterwards, the Mulan Cultural Research Center also asked Jia Ling and the entire crew to apologize. After apologizing, Jia Ling felt deeply sorry and determined to treat her creation with a more attentive attitude, strive to improve the quality of her works, and bring more beautiful experiences to the audience. In the end, the public controversy was quelled due to Jia Ling's apology, the removal of the work, and the suspension of the show for a week.
In fact, after the incident gradually heated up, Jia Ling resumed her performance, and after careful consideration, she still firmly believed that she had not offended any heroes.
In her view, Mulan is not seen as a hero from birth. Initially, she also shows her vulnerability, and it is only after many difficulties and setbacks that she truly becomes a hero. The story of "Mulan" is a story full of love and hope. This work is full of positive attitudes and positive energy. Mulan has been strong since she was a child, and she likes to do what she can since she was a child. To this day, she still holds the same opinion.
She incorporated some grievances into her apology, but it didn't go against her original intention. She originally wanted to bring joy and positive energy to the audience, but if the audience only felt offended and hurt, she would say, "As a public figure, I feel the need to give them an account." ”

Whenever Jia Ling releases a new sketch, she always has to face all kinds of comments and comments about insulting women and pretending to be crazy. She knows the scenery on stage and the hard work behind the scenes. Occasionally, she felt both sad and aggrieved when she saw viewers criticizing her online for "what she performed":
What are you doing? I just want to put a smile on your face. If you don't laugh, that's it, you come and push me. ”
Jia Ling's sketches were either forgotten by the audience or received a lot of criticism, which made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness. It's not because she's disappointed in something, it's because she feels that she's not capable enough to create more novel sketches, because her techniques and characters are limited and she can't break through her own limitations. ”
From a certain point of view, the audience's feedback on Jia Ling's works also exposed the shortcomings of sketch creation. The small space of the sketch seems to be difficult to accommodate more profound emotions, and on the stage of variety shows and large-scale galas, hoarseness becomes the only way to perform. "Whether it's in a variety show or a big gala, that stage expects you to go all out to show yourself. The main purpose of such performances is to create those flat characters. ”
Jia Ling is good at the subtle communication of emotions, and this kind of emotion, which is difficult to show in stage comedies, has been deeply demonstrated in film and television works.
Jia Ling's first film "Hello, Li Huanying", although there are not many skills, is full of deep emotions, deeply touched countless audiences, and the entire theater is full of laughter and tears.
In the challenging days when Jia Ling recorded "Happy Comedian", she always had a dream in her heart, and that was to support her:
When I perform comedy on stage, everyone is immersed in joy, and I feel even happier because of everyone's joy, and I think it's the best positive loop in the world. In your lifetime, I will give my heart and soul to your career and dreams, and that is enough. ”
After "Hello, Li Huanying" received an enthusiastic response from the audience, Jia Ling finally found a new way to realize her dream.

I take my heart out and show it to everyone. ”
Jia Ling was unfortunately involved in the intricate struggle for rights and interests in the entertainment industry.
Jia Ling is recognized as a high-EQ actress in domestic entertainment, but surprisingly, in a reality show she participated in when she was younger, she was maliciously edited into a lazy and unsympathetic low-EQ artist.
In this show, there is a laughable episode: the grandmother in the village tells Jia Ling that she has not taken a bath for 72 years. After hearing this, Jia Ling gave her grandmother a thumbs up and said, "It's really great." ”
She mentions later that she was going to take her grandmother to the bath, but this passage was cut out. Years later, when she mentioned this episode in an interview, she laughed angrily: "No matter how bad my personality is, I can't describe it like this, don't I have a problem with my brain?" ”

During the recording of the program, she was often guided by the choreographer, either intentionally or unintentionally. She closed her eyes, the recorded footage echoing in her mind. Initially, at night, the program team broke down on the highway when they went to pick up her car, causing her to stay awake all night. However, after the recording the next day, the choreographer informed her that she could go to rest, and she went to sleep without hesitation.
When she woke up, she realized that the recording had started and that there were only thirty minutes left, and that it would take her thirty minutes to get there.
As a result, the situation changed after the show aired, everyone else was busy working outside, and she was the only one who fell asleep indoors. Zhu Dan's tactful complaint about Jia Ling in the show made other artists who didn't know the truth misunderstand, which surprised her very much.
During the six days that the show was recorded, there were incidents against her almost every day.
*Source: "Super Access".
Jia Ling plans to sponsor one of the show's financially disadvantaged boys to continue his education. Considering the child's self-esteem, she quietly took him to a mountain without cameras at six o'clock in the morning and told him that she was willing to sponsor him to go to college, but the child said that the family could afford it.
Jia Ling mistakenly thinks this hurts his self-esteem, so she proposes to take him to the town to buy a TV, but the child calmly tells her that the TV at home has actually been put down.
Jia Ling finally came to her senses and felt that she was too naïve, "Hey, how could I forget to participate in the show?" I go and ask people what it's for. ”

After the incident, she called the producer twice, but the producer didn't dare to answer. When she tried to answer again, the producer said with some humility: "I don't even dare to answer your **." Still, she tried to be as understanding as she could, saying, "Maybe my big-name behavior will attract the attention of the audience more." ”
Jia Ling rarely complains, and she can calmly let go of many things that hurt her. "I love watching Camp of Happiness because it allows each of us to have our own voice and share happiness with others. After the show**, she sat in front of the TV, as if looking at an unfamiliar person: "Wow, this person is really annoying, how could it be me?" ”
At that time, she never expected that many viewers who loved her would not let go of the past as easily as she did.
A friend revealed to her that his parents had a strong dislike for her after the show. Jia Ling had mixed feelings in her heart, and she began to reflect on her performance style and content, trying to find the doubts in it. Jia Ling was suddenly shocked, her previous cross talk performances mainly relied on older people to maintain ratings, "How can there be an old man who will be disgusted with me?" She began to reflect on her own performance style and try to understand the mood of the elderly. This caused deep pain in her heart, and she felt that she had done harm to the elderly and women who had a crush on her.

The guilt that this strong sense of responsibility led to was deeply ingrained in her heart long ago.
Shortly after Jia Ling graduated from school, she won the first prize in the National Cross Talk Competition, and also defeated Guo Degang and Yu Qian. Therefore, when Jia Ling became famous, this matter often became a laughing stock in the outside world. That day, Jia Ling turned her back to the light, tears flowing silently. In fact, after that match, Jia Ling cried for a whole day.
This game was recorded and broadcast, and Jia Ling couldn't remember the lyrics, so she successfully recorded it three times in a row. She stood on the stage**, bowed her head slightly, and took a deep breath. As she bowed in thanks, her tears began to fall continuously.
For this cross talk, Jia Ling practiced for half a year, and although she was very familiar with some words, she was never able to recall it. She thought to herself that if this really happened on a formal stage, it would be a performance accident. Therefore, she blamed herself and said, "You don't deserve to be an actor at all." ”
Jia Ling ran out in tears, and suddenly an old grandmother came over to comfort her and said, "Hey, Miss, stop crying, your performance is really good, grandma laughed." ”
When she heard this, her crying became more intense, and the grandmother's words "hit me in the face like a big mouth." She whimpered, tears moistening her clothes, and her heart was filled with helplessness and sadness. She rushed to the door, leaned against the door and said silently, "Ah, I'm no longer a good actor." ”
When Jia Ling faced the audience, she always maintained a sincere heart, and even after becoming famous, she did not lose this precious sincerity.
In the process of filming the movie "Hello, Li Huanying", she understood very well that this work is not to express her personal feelings, but the audience needs to spend dozens of yuan to buy tickets to be in the cinema. This is a big explosion of emotions, and every shot carries her deep attachment and longing for her mother. Jia Ling did almost everything she could to make this film, she said:
I show you my heart. ”

In this film, the only two minutes are for her personal considerations, and she is struggling with whether she should delete it or not. Although she took great care to make these two minutes as smooth as possible, those two minutes did bring tears to the eyes of the audience sitting in front of the screen.
*Source: "Hello, Li Huanying".
In the first half of the movie, the audience laughs along with her, and in the second half, the audience also cries along with her. Her emotions, like a clear stream, poured into the hearts of the audience. The audience finally witnessed the sincerity she showed.
Jia Ling has brought ** to many people, but she has never been able to experience true happiness herself.
Even if you want to laugh, no problem".
When Jia Ling was only 18 years old, she lay between her parents, staring at the ceiling, looking forward to her future, and said, "I have prepared this suite, that suite for you."
In just the past year, her dreams have been completely shattered. That year was the most chaotic and overwhelming time Jia Ling had ever experienced as an adult.
At that time, she was deeply in the euphoria of being admitted to Chinese opera, but the unfortunate news came that her mother was injured in an accident and left her forever.
Jia Ling couldn't believe that her mother had really left. In the whimper, Jia Ling felt as if she had become an unbearable island. When she took the train from Beijing to Hubei, she knelt down to every passenger in the carriage with a mobile phone and dialed her relatives at home one by one to verify the situation, without exception. After 15 hours of traveling, she stood at the junction of the two carriages with no tickets to sit on, broke down emotionally and cried loudly.
Before entering school, Jia Ling studied and worked in Beijing, and she saved up money to buy a suitable dress for her father and mother. Even though Dad was dressed just right, the green fur coat she bought for Mom was a smaller size, so she decided to take it home to change. But when the dress returned, Mom found that she could no longer wear it.
Since then, the mother has become Jia Ling's permanent regret, and she claims that she will no longer feel happy.
*Source: "Hello, Li Huanying".
Jia Ling rarely remembered her mother, she couldn't believe it, but when she remembered it, the heartache of loss would echo in her heart again. She said that her mother was a very nice person, but she didn't want her to feel sad for her, so she felt guilty and upset every time she came home. Every Spring Festival, she would go to burn paper money for her mother, which often made her emotions explode, and sometimes even evolved into a situation of "why don't you accompany her".
After she completed the filming of the sketch "Hello, Li Huanying", this extreme emotional state was finally alleviated to a certain extent. Burning the paper in front of her house, she felt a sense of relief, as if the weight had finally been lifted. In that particular year, she burned paper money for her mother again, which made her mood less depressed than it used to be.
Such emotional fluctuations showed her the possibility of moving on from her grief, which was one of her motivations for later deciding to adapt it into a film, "I may be qualified enough to do so to make myself feel happier." ”

During the production of the movie "Hello, Lee Hwan Young", the entire crew was often filled with sad emotions. There is a girl named Jia Ling in the crew, she loves to cry very much, and she starts crying every time she finishes a scene. Once, Jia Ling participated in the filming of a crying scene, filming more than 30 pieces, but her eyes were swollen from crying. The makeup artist was constantly touching up the makeup, and everyone at the scene was shocked to see this.
During the filming, Jia Ling cried uncountable, and once she cried until three o'clock in the morning, only to realize that the description of "crying to the heart of distress" in the book is not too much at all.
However, after the filming of the film, "this obstacle remained", it was simply watered down and did not achieve the effect of reconciliation.
More specifically, she voluntarily fell into regret and sorrow, "If it is good to endure hardship, my mother will not suffer with herself; If life is not bad, regrets can be especially serious. In the dullness of day after day, she tried to find a little comfort. All she could do was hope that she could maintain her daily peace.

Finally, the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" ranked third on the box office list of Chinese film history with a box office income of 5.4 billion, and Jia Ling also won the title of the highest-grossing female director in Chinese film history.
Jia Ling once promised that as long as the box office exceeded 3 billion, she would become as slender as lightning. Jia Ling's new look is stunning, and her thin figure is fully revealed. Now, Jia Ling has fulfilled her previous promise in her second film "Hot and Hot", not only successfully losing weight, but also growing a layer of tendons.
In the movie "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling's Le Ying has a striking resemblance to her, she is an ordinary woman who has experienced adversity all the way. In order to show her strength, she reduced her weight from two hundred pounds to one hundred pounds, and rose to prominence in the field of boxing, known as the "goddess boxer".
In order to better show the charm of the character, before filming, Jia Ling's weight even increased to 200 pounds. On the road of **, Jia Ling is making unremitting efforts for her goals every day. Jia Ling can lose 100 pounds of weight every year, and the difficulty of her ** can almost be said to be at the hell level, not to mention that she herself is a physique that is easy to gain weight, and she has tried many times before**, but she has not succeeded.
In the process of changing roles in the movie, Jia Ling also experienced a profound self-reinvention in real life.
Hot and Hot is called yolo in English, which means you only live once, "so it's acceptable to be ridiculed, want to cry, or fail, and live for yourself." ”

The unspoken sentence is: It's okay if you want to laugh.
My sister often told her: "We should not always be immersed in sadness, but we should live happily and happily because she can see our happiness and she is always watching over us." ”
This is exactly what Jia Ling's mother expected, she never expected much from Jia Ling, only hoped that her daughter could live a healthy and happy life.
A long time ago, Jia Ling's mother saved a large amount of pension. After seeing this situation, Jia Ling was shocked and said: "There are still so many funds left!" ”
Her mother immediately clarified: "This money cannot be used because it is medical insurance, and if you grow up and have no income, your mother will need to use it to see a doctor." ”
Jia Ling: "Aren't you full of confidence in me?" ”
Jia Ling's mother asked, "If that's the case?" ”
Jia Ling
