After Jia Ling won a big victory in "Hello Li Huanying", she directed and acted in the 2024 Spring Festival file "Hot and Hot". Li Huanyingsheng's empathetic maternal love and interesting plot made the audience laugh and was moved to tears, and the good empathy reputation made the box office soar all the way to 5 billion! "Hot and Hot" is said to be adapted from a Japanese movie, and the plot is a relatively old-fashioned self-inspirational theme, but the most that the movie has been marketed from beginning to end is Jia Ling's 100 pounds gimmick, from a commercial point of view, this marketing gimmick is enough to make the distributor make a lot of money, for this reason, Jia Ling has not appeared in public for more than a year, and it also explains why she was absent from the latest issue of "Ace vs. Ace", which laid the groundwork for the current box office. But if you evaluate the movie, I personally feel that it is simple and rough in terms of storytelling, plot building, and portrayal of human nature, but there are still a lot of small categories of baggage that can amuse the whole family, inspirational and in line with the hot needs of the whole people, and the overall pertinent evaluation is still "worth watching".
These two films made Jia Ling definitely not only win at the box office and revenue, but also did what she dreamed of doing, said what she wanted to express, and achieved the ...... that would have been difficult to achieve. Hello, Li Huanying" asked her to return to her mother's time and her mother's side by traveling back in time, and accompany her mother from another angle, which can be regarded as relieving her mother's regret in the movie that she was in a hurry and didn't see her because she was busy with work. "Hot and Hot" gave Jia Ling a reborn self, and it is not easy to be healthy, such as Jia Ling's 200-pound weight and busy work arrangement are even more difficult, but she forced herself by preparing for the filming of "Hot and Hot", so that more than a dozen influential investors, creative teams, and work cores have become her strong partners and driving forces for action. There is a whole strong team to help her achieve her goals, Jia Ling is powerful, even if there are all kinds of full help, but her personal efforts for more than a year must be extremely difficult, she did it! Closing everything and forcing myself to retreat, watching the diary process at the end of the film has had countless struggles and countless times to start again, gritted my teeth and persevered, paid no regrets to work hard, harvested a better self, and it is never too late to decide and act! I think that's the core of what holds up this film.
"Hot and hot" brings another resonance to the audience: people must first learn to love themselves, care for their own hearts and needs, in order to love others better. Jia Ling has developed into a very popular comedian weighing 200 pounds in recent years, and various settings in entertainment programs often use "big fat" and "ugly" to humorously laugh at her burden, but she is also an unmarried older young woman, and it is natural to love beauty and desire to be loved, liked, recognized and cared for, but it may be limited by the weight and image of "200 pounds", and the longing for "love" is out of reach, just like the self-deprecation of "Shen Chunyang" in the play: Seeing people like the two of us, it must be to get a card......！ Even if there are some people around who feel good in their eyes and hearts, they may have buddy righteousness, friendship, goodwill, and interests, ......But there is no love alone! Because how love arises and disappears is really uncontrollable, and the external image can sometimes become a mountain that is difficult for "love" to cross and reach, perhaps these circumstances will affect a person's sense of self-worth and identity to a greater or lesser extent, no matter how successful or talented she is in some aspects. Just like Le Ying (Ling) in the film, she said in her conversation with her father that if she had two apples, one large and one small, she would give them to others, and did not win the desired response, kindness or sense of value from others, she said that others would feel that she did not like to eat apples, this kind of complete loss of self and did not care about her own heart and needs, did not win the recognition and response of others, and was not cherished and understood, so she said on the show that she tried to be kind to the people around her, but she was always hurt. Looking at her life experience, her sister, cousin, girlfriend, and boyfriend ......It's all the same, one hurts her more deeply than the other. The pain, gloom, and worthlessness of her heart piled up heavily layer by layer into her life of increasing failure and pain. Until she committed suicide and had an epiphany after the pain, Le Ying also made a choice like Jia Ling, and went all out to force herself, no matter how hard she tried to please others, she couldn't get the love, response, respect and life she wanted, she began to learn to be sympathetic to her heart and thoughts, no longer seek outwardly, but to reconcile inwardly, respect and actively respond to her innermost thoughts, and put them into action, if you want to win, you can practice, what difficulties hinder, everything that may not be possible is put aside, It is to be considerate of your heart and do what you want to do, and persevere, after all, you will meet a better self! The moment Le Ying had an epiphany and took action, she had already won! The times she persevered, she was always "winning"; At the moment when she knew the gap between her and her profession, but she still insisted on following her heart and overcoming her fear to the end to finish the game, she always "won". The real "win" conveyed in the movie is not an external result, but an inner "epiphany" and reconciliation with oneself, full acceptance and compassion for oneself, and the ...... of decisions, attitudes and positive actions at any time to meet a better self. In the final analysis, the "win" of life is never just about the external results, but more importantly, it always comes from the heart.
There are actually a lot of slots in this film, not to mention anything else, just to say that the "human nature" it presents is a little too extreme and gloomy. On the way home after watching the movie, Xiao Dudu said something that resonated with us: "How do I think that except for Jia Ling in this movie, everyone else is not ...... normal.""The family affection in this can be scheming, scolding, hurting without words, without gratitude and mutual compassion and love for ...... own interests and purposes; Love and friendship are also full of deception and double betrayal, and for many years, my girlfriend has pried her boyfriend and is still standing and believing, and she is so thick-skinned that she asks her girlfriend for blessings and makes her girlfriend a bridesmaid ......; met partners and comrades-in-arms who were connected by the same fate, and did not deduce the love encounter and consummation that everyone expected, there were mutual needs and uses, there were disregard and harm for the sake of face, and they asked for Le Ying's unreserved care and help, and even Le Ying herself, but she did not give Le Ying the understanding and love ...... she wanted; Even my cousin, who just graduated, did a show on a TV station, which was full of all kinds of deception, harm, and nonsense and blind editing for the sake ......of profit and profit. Maybe it's to set off the heroine's weakness and kindness and miserable life, maybe it's to contrast and flip, or maybe it's the world and relationships that Jia Ling can't say, and what she wants to express through the movie wants to express her joy, anger, laughter, and scolding, these emotions, characters and relationships are piled up, which makes this movie present in addition to being too extreme and gloomy emotions and relationships, which more or less affects the quality of the whole movie. But on the whole, the whole movie is still positive and positive, just like what I said to my children after the end: It's never too late to go all out to become a better version of yourself!
