Dragon and Tiger Leaping Spring Festival file A friend asked, I already know Jia Ling**, I have seen Jia Ling lose weight, and I even probably know what story the movie tells, is it necessary to watch "Hot and Hot"? My answer is: why not?
In fact, most viewers who watch "Hot and Hot" have expectations for the content of the film, but listening to a sigh from passers-by and watching one or two **, what they can feel is of course far less than actually watching a complete movie.
In fact, before watching "Hot and Hot", most viewers have been spoiled countless times, intentionally or unintentionally, but if they are really willing to watch this movie with their hearts, there are still a considerable number of viewers who feel shocked and moved. Someone described "Hot and Hot" as "Jia Ling's ** Record" in a ridiculous and even disdainful tone, and said that there was no need to buy tickets to watch such content. However, in fact, even the shock of "Jia Ling's ** Record" is far beyond the imagination of many people.
Of course, "Hot and Hot" is not a documentary, and it does not use too much space to record how Du Leying played by Jia Ling goes**, Jia Ling still tries to tell a complete story through the movie. In order to draw a storyboard manuscript that the staff could understand, Jia Ling learned to draw while exercising. Although Jia Ling smiled and said that she hadn't learned to paint, at least she could feel that she was really serious about making movies.
In fact, compared with weight, what is more noteworthy in "Hot and Hot" is the protagonist's mental state and the attitude of the people around her towards her. If you interpret "Hot and Hot" with a black and white mentality in a relatively flat way, then this movie is really full of villains. Du Leying has endured too much malice, her sister, cousin, ex-boyfriend, girlfriend, sweetheart, boss, not everyone is really a bad person, but they have all hurt Du Leying.
Le Ying's decadent state in the early stage was related to her own character, but because of such a character and such a state, she suffered more malice than ordinary people, forming a vicious circle. She did have a self-defeating inertia, so she relied on others to inspire every change. This is actually very similar to ordinary people, self-growth and change are often achieved through external stimuli. This kind of stimulus is sometimes actually an injury, and the sting will force the person to defend himself with a strong self.
Although "Hot and Hot" is also a sports-themed movie, the movie itself is not centered on showing the charm of boxing or popularizing boxing, so in a crucial game, in addition to allowing non-professional "athlete" Jia Ling to complete a thrilling duel with professionals, the movie is also interspersed with a series of flashback shots, supplementing what Du Leying has experienced, making the story telling complete, and showing Jia Ling's transformation more comprehensively.
So it is not difficult to understand that some viewers feel that the story of "Hot and Hot" does not seem to be coherent enough, and the mental journey of the characters is not complete enough. In fact, there is indeed a lot of blank space in the early stage of the movie, but the blank space is to make the follow-up outbreak more sufficient, so that the audience has a sense of shock of "so it is", which is the more exquisite way of laying out the movie narrative. Jia Ling obviously made a rhythm design in order to make the movie more textured this time, although it is impossible to be perfect, but it is rare to have this awareness.
Even if you have seen Jia Ling's weight loss in advance, when you follow the development of the storyline in the movie and see Jia Ling's gorgeous transformation a little bit, you will still feel shocked by the characters and the story. It wasn't until the end credits showed Jia Ling's diary that I returned to the sigh of Jia Ling's amazing perseverance. Shoot five times a year, and control your weight with the development of the plot and the progress of filming, which is really the only way to shoot once and not repeat it.
"Hot and Hot" uses Jia Ling's weight as a publicity point, which is indeed the most intuitive and effective way to publicize. The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and there is nothing wrong with promoting it based on objective facts. Of course, it is also understandable that not everyone is interested in such a story, and not everyone can agree with the selling point of this movie, so it doesn't matter, it is the freedom of every audience to watch it or not. But perhaps this part of the audience can choose to ignore it and be less malicious. This is also the value that the film itself is conveying.
