It's time to talk about Jia Ling's new film. In this year's Spring Festival, only it and "Flying Life 2" have entered the box office of one billion yuan hand in hand, ranking first in real time. No way, the before and after comparison of "100 catties" is too shocking. You must know the most popular weight loss story "** Men and Women", Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen starred in the fat man by special effects makeup, and Jia Ling has been training for more than a year, after experiencing the test of hunger, anxiety, nervousness and other emotions, her body is tight, and her eyes are becoming more and more fierce and resolute. There is no need for props, no acting skills, the changes are particularly shocking, and the dramatic tension that cannot be asked for any performance. 
Outside the play, Jia Ling also used a still at 9 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year to echo (confirm) the explosive hot search of "losing 100 pounds" half a month ago, and the publicity code continued to increase. 
A work that is really directed and starred by a female filmmaker, and the filming process is intervened and controlled by strong willpower, and it is also hotly discussed because of the national degree of the parties involved. Compared with the shock of Jia Ling's weight loss, I want to compare the original "100 Yuan Love" starring Ando Sakura in 2014 (Douban score 83) From the comparison of the two versions, let's talk about what I think is wrong in this movie. Ugly things to say ahead, Jia Ling's two identities in this film, director and actor, the latter adds color to the movie far more than the former. The chaos and avoidance of the important in the first half of the movie caused the second half to burn apart. But once again, because of Jia Ling's weird sincerity (and the character Le Yingling became one again), the problems of the play were ignored or forgiven. It's not "Hot and Spicy" that burns, 230,000 people on Douban give 80 praise, not for the movie, but for Jia Ling. This is Jia Ling's victory, but not a movie.

Let's take a look at the key changes between "hot" and "100 yuan". Le Ying (played by Jia Ling) and Yizi (the protagonist of "100 Yuan Love", played by Sakura Ando) are almost 32 years old, have nothing to do, eat and drink at home, and give up any body management. Dissatisfied with his grumpy sister, he had to run away from home in search of a living. Why mourn? The Japanese version of the state has a depressive temperament similar to a social path, and the "same kind" can be seen all around: the father who is silent and sees the conflict retreat into darkness, the convenience store senior who suddenly looks away during the interview process, and the boxer who always forgets to take the banana after paying for it......I don't really want to, and I don't have much motivation to change the status quo. 
But what about Le Ying? The movie only gave a very vague explanation through the dog's blood program of the TV station, and there was a brief employment experience after graduating from college, but he hid home because of frustration. The blessing of maternal love and affection has virtually dissipated the possible interpretation of social problems - all in all, the ignition point of "hot and hot" is all personal choice, and you can't complain about the environment, society, let alone the times. Jia Ling relied on changing the speed of speech, lowering her voice, and stagnating her actions to strengthen Le Ying's marginalization, but unfortunately the strength was insufficient, and it was difficult for people to quickly forget how lively, enthusiastic and witty the fat Jia Ling was in the "Ace" program. 
This is a change in the basic setting. The second key change is also coming, why did the male protagonist and the female protagonist come together? The Japanese version of the male protagonist is an older boxer who is about to retire, silent all day long, fails to pursue his dreams, and is a marginal person in the boxing gym. The two visited the zoo for the first time, which was a serious "date", and the two marginal personalities smelled loneliness like small animals. In the Chinese version, Haokun (played by Lei Jiayin) is normal and much purer. This is a bit of a contradictory boxer, who seems to love his dreams, but he always looks down like life, can't get used to other fancy coaches, and can't pull his face to solicit customers. He approached Le Ying, who worked in a food stall, purely because the other party was easy to talk to, which was the last straw before he lost his job. 
The third key change: why does she box? The Japanese version of Kazuko originally liked to play boxing games, and she was attracted by the boxing gym every day, and was attracted by the etiquette of patting each other on the shoulder after the boxing match. This is a kind girl, but she is weighed down by too much neglect and grievances in life, and she wants to throw an angry punch in the most peaceful way possible. I want to win once, I want to care once. The boxing match ended with a pat on the shoulder because it was no longer hostile
And "hot", boxing is a way for Le Ying to pick up halfway. The "Always Win Once" poster gave her only chance on a rainy night. After all, in her life, family, love, friendship (and even the workplace) are hideous and domineering. Her sister asked her to give up her real estate book; The best friend split her legs and pried her boyfriend away and got married, and also proposed to let her be a bridesmaid to cover up the Mistress controversy; Doudou, a distant relative, wants to use her hype to complete the show's hit; verbal and physical harassment by the boss at work; And Haokun also enjoyed the long-lost family warmth from her, and got the humble opportunity to participate in the competition and receive a bribe of 30,000 yuan ......
Everyone stepped on her kindness and got a little benefit. When talking to her father, she said something similar: "I have two apples, one large and one small, which I used to give to others, but I was thought that I didn't like the apples ......."It depends on the mood in the future. She wants to have the internal strength of "not giving". The last key change was how she finally treated him who had pushed him hard. The Japanese version looks at it now, it's too independent, it's too feminine, Ichiko is like a wounded kitten in front of Yuji, Ku Sui wants to win once, and then the two of them hold hands and walk up the ** steps to eat supper, and the "little animals" finally live by keeping each other warm. 
This cry actually only means that an ordinary person's reboot has been successful, which is the most valuable thing about this inspirational movie. The changes to the Chinese version are very fashionable. Le Ying was very relaxed and refused her sweetheart's invitation, she didn't like to eat bullfrogs, and she was tired and wanted to go home to sleep.
The two editions have diametrically opposite values:The Japanese version goes inward, focusing on the real mourning of the individual. Ichiko and Yuji may reflect the profound social background causes, but more importantly, they are "a type of people", a type of people who have long been eliminated by society to the margins and survive, and all they want is to "pass every day".The so-called win, the ceiling is very low, the bottom line is even lower, not so much flying on the ground as touching the ground. The Chinese version goes outward, pursuing the burning of the greatest common divisor. Surrounding Le Ying is a series of social problems, such as gnawing at old age, body (appearance) anxiety, divorce, employment, economy, online violence, etc. The final punch is actually an attempt to ignite emotional resonance with a gesture of resistance. "One Hundred Yuan" is written about an attempt by ordinary people to restart their lives; "Hot" uses the ultimate transformation to tell a self-regain. The former focuses on the small individual, while the latter seeks the big (same). Looking at these changes, we can see the adaptation ideas of the "Hot" team. Don't dare to mourn, and burn high after feeling the mood of the times. I am very happy for Jia Ling's success, she has more perseverance and determination than ordinary people to control her body and muscles, and she is also fully responsible for "Le Ying". She was too afraid of betraying the audience's trust, and on this level, she didn't let anyone down. But director Jia Ling, the most regrettable thing is that Le Ying's left fist, I always feel a little empty.
