After director Jia Ling's latest film "Hot and Hot" was released during the Spring Festival this year, it earned a total box office income of 32 billion, making her the highest-grossing female director in mainland China.
However, just when the audience applauded the movie, various negative news about "Hot and Hot" also came out one after another, such as "sacrificing your weight for the box office", such as "over-marketing" and so on. Jia Ling, who seems to be smooth sailing, what is her mood after so many negative comments?
On the evening of February 23, Jia Ling posted a ** of her ski resort in Xinjiang on her personal Weibo, but between the lines there was a helplessness to deal with the "bad comments" on the Internet.
She said: "Everyone is asking me, what am I doing, I will do it, this is the main purpose of this **." I feel what it's like to be loved and want to give it back to everyone. Together, we explore how this short but long life should be spent. The weather in Xinjiang is very cold, is it that we are in the mountains now? ”
Jia Ling's words are not only a recognition of the film "Hot and Hot", but also a loss of the entertainment industry.
As a director, she just wants to use her work to convey love. However, this victory came so quickly.
Jia Ling only filmed two **, and became one of the top ten directors of domestic entertainment. Jia Ling has been on the hot search, she got money, but she didn't get anyone's recognition or any help.
In fact, with the high income of "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling has received unprecedented public pressure. In Wang Jing's blatant approval of Zhang Yimou's film "Article 20", she satirized Jia Ling through marketing and **. Some insiders even bluntly denied that she was the director, calling "Hot and Hot" a "marketing gimmick".
Such negative comments intensified, so much so that Jia Ling had no choice but to withdraw the relevant documentary of the film. However, just when everyone thought she was going to "stop", Jia Ling finally made a move. The publication of the article in Xinjiang this time can be regarded as the first "counterattack war" against itself.
Because I'm on a mountain peak. These four words show Jia Ling's determination. Although she has been criticized repeatedly, she has been standing on the "top of the mountain", which has brought a huge impact to the movies of the Spring Festival Gala.
And she has not abandoned her dream of being an actor, and is still using her own works to spread her life. That's why she emphasized it in the article.
However, while Jia Ling has achieved great achievements, she also feels cold in the entertainment industry. In this "counterattack war", the people who were supposed to be on her side have now become melon-eating masses.
In fact, as soon as "Hot and Hot" came out, there were many stars in the ** industry and the film industry to advertise Jia Ling. Like Yang Zi, Wang Sulong, Zhou Shen, as well as Zhang Xiaofei, Ma Li, Lei Jiayin and others, they all expressed their support for the film on their personal Weibo.
However, when the situation changed, everyone fell silent. Every time Jia Ling promotes, there is never a familiar figure behind. Even Zhang Xiaofei, who has been playing with her for so long, will no longer speak up for Jia Ling this time.
Among these people, Shen Teng's behavior is also the most emotional. He has worked with Jia Ling for many years, and he has never said a word about the problem of "Hot and Hot", but has devoted himself to the promotion of "Flying Life 2". Even when Jia Lingite asked for communication, Shen Teng looked indifferent.
Not only him, Lei Jiayin, the male protagonist of "Hot and Hot", is advertising his movie "Article 20". At the earliest, he could still take care of two films and do some promotion, but with the transcendence of "Article 20", the promotion of "Hot and Hot" became smaller and smaller.
Perhaps, this circle is so cruel.
Therefore, Jia Ling's trip to Xinjiang is like a lone old man, after becoming famous, he will leave the public and face the heavy snow alone. She stands on the "top of the mountain", so "the wind is strong"; The words "cold on the top of the mountain" are actually a kind of loneliness.
Although her friends are no longer supporting, and the outside world is still indifferent, Jia Ling still does it her own way. Instead of acting like a loser, as she did before, she acted like a winner, telling those who questioned her that she was the real winner.
In fact, Jia Ling's achievements have indeed disappointed many people. In the entertainment industry, especially in the film and television industry, how many people work hard, but they can't even earn 100 million.
They may be very patient and work hard to play the plot well, but the result is that the response is average, some movies may not be able to pay off, and some movies have not had time to go to the cinema.
And Jia Ling, with a short drama "Hello, Li Huanying", has reached the highest-grossing position in the world, and has received so much praise that it will inevitably cause some people's eyes.
However, Jia Ling is still Jia Ling, always showing her teeth and claws like that. Even if there were tens of millions of troops in front of her, she would not hesitate in the slightest. No matter how difficult the road ahead, she has to persevere. Her achievements are not flattery, nor are they blind. No matter how suspicious the outside world is, she always maintains her true nature.
may be full of life and the world is hot and cold, but Jia Ling's dream of being a director has always been hot.
