7 days after its release, director Jia Ling's second masterpiece "Hot and Hot" was like a box office dark horse, quickly breaking through the 2.5 billion mark and standing out in the fierce competition for Spring Festival stalls.
The film not only surpassed the popular film "Flying Life 2" starring Shen Teng, but also raised the industry's ** box office to a height of 4.2 billion in one fell swoop.
This work has undoubtedly become the most dazzling focus of this year's Spring Festival film market!
Since the official announcement of "Hot and Hot", the topic around the film and director Jia Ling has continued to rise.
Among them, the topic of "Jia Ling** 100 pounds" has aroused widespread social attention and discussion, and has frequently topped the hot search list, and even for a period of time, the audience's curiosity about what kind of appearance the successful Jia Ling will show has become one of the biggest suspense in the entire Spring Festival schedule.
In order to attract attention, the "Hot and Hot" team cleverly used this hot topic to carry out large-scale marketing promotion, but despite this, the film did not mention the content itself in the early promotion, causing many netizens to question the film's box office prospects under the intertwining of expectations and dissatisfaction.
However, it is the attractive attraction of "Jia Ling's weight change" that attracts a large number of audiences to the cinema.
When the film was officially released, some viewers bluntly said that they were "deceived" by the previous marketing methods, because the core of "Hot and Hot" does not revolve around the story of the "heroine", but focuses on the inspirational growth of women, and explores the profound theme of how to bravely face themselves and live their true selves under the pressure of life and social expectations.
Although it is slightly abrupt in some plot settings, it abandons the common "love brain" routine in traditional film and television dramas, has no pretentious emotional conflicts, and shows how the heroine Le Ying moves from lost to firm and regains her life goal in a natural rhythm of life.
There is indeed a scene in the movie after Jia Ling's success, and her figure in the boxing ring is undoubtedly a major visual highlight of the whole film.
However, Jia Ling's role change of 100 pounds is more as an element to promote the sublimation of the plot, rather than the main values that the film wants to convey.
Although this part of the shot is hotly debated, it does not dominate the overall duration and narrative structure.
In addition to Jia Ling, the other leading actors in "Hot and Hot" also contributed wonderful performances.
Although the actor Lei Jiayin has a limited role and has received some controversy because of his character modeling, he has won the recognition of the audience with his solid acting skills and character portrayal.
In addition, Zhang Xiaofei and Yang Zi played a role in the interspersed plots, especially after the deep mother-daughter relationship between the two in "Hello, Li Huanying", they became sisters in "Hot and Hot", and staged a series of rival scenes, which brought countless surprises to the audience and greatly enhanced the viewing and emotional resonance of the film.
Although "Hot and Hot" does not show subversive innovation in terms of filming techniques or script arrangement, it has created a unique charm with its unique ability to create topics and unexpected surprises for the audience.
Jia Ling's determination and perseverance to do everything for the sake of the work make the film have a unique core and highlights.
After the audience unveiled the suspense, what was really touched was the positive attitude towards life advocated by the film - refusing to lie flat, embracing life, and insisting on the power of self-growth and change.
This is also the key to the audience's enthusiasm for supporting the box office after knowing the truth about Jia Ling's weight.
According to the current movie-watching boom and word-of-mouth fermentation trend, "Hot and Hot" is expected to hit a higher box office milestone, and at that time, Jia Ling will embark on a new career peak.
In the face of such a topical, emotionally in-depth and inspiring film, it is not difficult to understand that it can break out of the encirclement during the Spring Festival. The movie is hot and piping hot
