2024 Spring Festival stalls Who knows, a middle-aged uncle is crying in the cinema on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In one sentence, to sum up my experience of watching the movie, it is hot all over my body, and my heart is hot.
Not only me, but everyone in the theater saw the ending, stood up halfway and sat down, and listened to the entire ending song sung by Da Zhang Wei.
What moved me was the energy of Jia Ling in the movie, the sense of belief in living for herself.
Don't hide it - "Hot and Hot".
Director and star Jia Ling, who lost weight and gained muscle for the role, made the movie attract attention from the beginning.
Jia Ling disappeared from public view for a long time, and was even absent from the Spring Festival Gala. When she reappeared, the hot search exploded.
Looking at the lineup, Jia Ling + Lei Jiayin + Zhang Xiaofei + Yang Zi, as well as Sha Yi, Qiao Shan, Li Xueqin, Ma Li, Wei Xiang.
It's hard not to be hot. But on the other hand, Jia Ling's huge dedication to the movie also constitutes another kind of pressure - the audience's huge expectations need to be filled by the real quality of the movie, otherwise, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
In a sense, in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Ling, who was waiting for the audience's feedback from the movie, was just like Le Ying, who was about to start her first boxing match in the movie, they all needed an answer.
Outcome. From the beginning of the movie, all doubts are completely dispelled:
Four words: hot, spicy, piping hot.
Box office, hot. broke 400 million on the first day, and at 4:30 pm on the second day of the new year, the total box office soared to 68.7 billion, both the film schedule and the single-day box office counterattacked first. Sony Pictures announced that it had bought the worldwide distribution rights to the film.
Jia Ling, spicy. When Jia Ling came out with six-pack abs, I was stunned. It's not as simple as losing weight and losing weight, but it's a healthy and handsome state.
The movie gives me the feeling that it is piping hot.
Especially in the boxing match at the end of the movie, my whole body seemed to burn with the protagonist.
But for the movie, "burning" is only the most superficial layer of it.
Under the coat of high burning.
What we see is not only hard work and sweat.
And countless nights.
In the face of doubts and denials, the confusion and sadness of being put down by life.
Therefore, when the protagonist really lives for himself once and fights for his dreams to the end, life is so hot!
01 I want to win once.
This is by no means a movie that can be guessed by looking at the beginning and the end.
Actually, I've been guessing the wrong direction of the plot.
The heroine Le Ying is a girl who has been at home for ten years after graduating and working for a short period of time, and has practiced a big toe to turn off the TV.
Every day I sleep until my mother uses the wake-up call, wakes up and goes downstairs, eats a marshmallow, and goes home comfortably.
Jia Ling literally photographed the life of my dreams, but happiness is always short-lived.
The quarrel at the dinner table with his sister Le Dan (played by Zhang Xiaofei) eventually turned into a sister's table.
After the fight, Le Ying dragged her suitcase and left the house.
Lack of money, so I went to work at a barbecue restaurant "Big Bowl Fish Music".
Until one day, when she came home from work, she saw boxing coach Hao Kun (played by Lei Jiayin), and a thought was about to move in her heart.
Seeing this, I guessed the wrong direction of the story for the first time - *men and women,** male and female friends, I guessed correctly.
Plot ** slapped me in the face.
Although Le Ying bought a boxing class for 300 yuan, she also experienced a romantic boyfriend hug.
But this is definitely not a romantic comedy, and even the love line of the movie is actually not that heavy.
The important thing is Le Ying's transformation.
There is no sexual brain in the movie, only a heroine who keeps moving towards her dream, and this dream is to participate in boxing matches.
Seeing this, I realized again: "Creed", old iron, I will never guess wrong this time.
Jia Ling, who was boxing in the boxing gym, moved with a clear eye.
In terms of character setting, it is already half the battle.
But is this a dream story of "** and "boxing"?
It's certainly not that simple.
What really reveals the true face of the story is that Le Ying walked on a job search reality show to face the tutor's questions in order for Yang Zi's distant cousin of the TV station to become a regular
Jia Ling: I want to win once.
Here's allow me to spoil it hard: After the boxing match, Le Ying, who never posted on Moments, sent out a Moments of Friends: I won.
Let me remind you again, don't take this sentence lightly.
What exactly did Le Ying win?
I also saw Le Ying being knocked down in the ring by a professional fighter, and I only figured it out when I remembered that the countdown began to "marquee" with the countdown
A heroine with a social fear + pleasing personality, suffered a girlfriend's backstabbing and her boyfriend cheated, and people said, "This is a big aunt for the child, and it can't be done without some blood", so she obediently transferred her house to her sister, and was complained about like this, "Shanzi kicked you sooner or later." ”
For distant relatives to appear on a reality show, he gave people a head to judge his character like a funny clown, and finally fainted for the show, and he also received a sentence: Whose relatives are these, there is no explosion point at all.
Such a heroine, what she wants to win once, is it just to win once in the ring?
This is what I, and even many viewers, feel the most burning!
What is more burning than the Jedi counterattack after life has fallen to the bottom!
In this story, there is no hero who changes his life, and the ending is not very remarkable, but it is just a girl who struggles to transform-
Life has become hot and hot.
02 Jia Ling fights.
Of course, Jia Ling carried the whole movie.
Some viewers don't know why the heroine is called Le Ying, so we spell it in pinyin: leying, Ling.
What a homophonic stalk.
Before the screening, Jia Ling was the absolute focus, so in the film, she will also be more critical, and it is natural to do a good job, in case she doesn't do it well, ...... if she doesn't do it well
Can you imagine what that overwhelming skepticism would be like.
And the result? After watching the movie, I can only say: Jia Ling is not only shocking in appearance this time, but also really found the "sense of fit" of the actor.
She spelled. What roles did Jia Ling play in the past? Joyful, festive, optimistic.
But when Le Ying walked slowly on the street this time, at home, with low eyebrows and a pleasing glance, it revealed the lack of confidence in the character's heart, and the temperament revealed in her gestures revealed the same feeling, not confident.
This is also Jia Ling's first fight, and the character is spelled.
In the role of Le Ying, Jia Ling is a role that completely subverts the past.
At home, she is a people-pleaser, "feeling good with people, but always getting hurt." ”
When she left home to meet her boxing coach, a fire began to ignite in her.
And when the characters really begin to complete their transformation, they really show their obsession with running towards their dreams.
This also brought out Jia Ling's second fight, which was fought for the role change.
Before I walked into the theater, I thought I knew what Jia Ling would shock me the most in the movie.
The moment I saw the character reborn, I understood, I didn't know.
On the surface, yes, Jia Ling has lost weight, and she is full of pounds.
But the feeling that Le Ying brought me after her transformation was not thin, but strong.
In the movie, you see Le Ying running, skipping rope, punching sandbags, and training day and night in order to qualify for boxing competitions.
Then you find that the character is running with all the energy, and every punch is full of a strong sense of power, and finally you will believe that this is what a boxer looks like.
At the end of the day, I even felt that weight loss was the least worth mentioning.
The complete change of the character's spirit is what Jia Ling really spelled out.
To put it bluntly, what shocked me the most in the movie was the change in Le Ying's whole person.
Just like in the movie, when Le Ying's father saw Le Ying again, he said that she had changed, but not because she had become thinner, but because she had changed.
The change in body size and the improvement of skills can only complete the first half of this change, and the second half needs one more thing to complete-
This is Jia Ling's third fight, and her acting skills are spelled.
I think Jia Ling acted very well, and even completed her acting skills.
Because she wants to perform Le Ying from the original flattering personality to a perfect personality, accustomed to wronging herself, to Le Ying who loves herself, pursues her dreams, and respects her inner wishes.
In the first half of the movie, this character has been aggrieved, wronged by the transfer of ownership, wronged to be a bridesmaid, and wronged to eat the bullfrog ...... he doesn't like to eat
Jia Ling played everything naturally, even if she was wronged, she spoke cautiously with flashing eyes.
So I particularly empathize with the dialogue where she explains why she likes boxing - "Boxing is very interesting, two people fight inseparably, but respect each other, and they can hug each other without guilt at the end." ”
I used to think that being nice to people would lead to being embraced. ”
This is the kindness and grievances revealed in the bones, and Le Ying's image immediately came alive.
Besides, the scene that impressed me the most was the scene where the character jumped off the building, and Le Ying's first reaction after falling was: It hurts! Why didn't it hurt at all.
In this scene, Jia Ling's performance, like an electric shock, hit me at once, only people who have really experienced how desperate a life is, can understand Le Ying's weightlifting at this moment.
When seeing this, even hard-hearted people will inevitably feel bitter.
That's why, after completing the foreshadowing of many characters, when the key scene "Send You a Little Red Flower" sounded, the audience instantly understood how the characters wanted to give up the past, and why they had such a resolute determination, saying again and again, I can.
Again, I want to win once.
What to win? Win a complete goodbye to the past, win once to become what you want, win once and truly learn to love yourself.
Win one, I, Le Ying, will live for myself from today onwards!
Win one, from the bitterness that always reveals the corners of the mouth downward, to the real laughter after "winning once" in the end.
Win one, cool!
I don't believe that Jia Ling didn't integrate into her own life experience in the past, because otherwise, she couldn't understand the role so thoroughly, and her emotional performance was so good, that people couldn't see any traces of performance.
To be honest, in the process of watching the movie, watching Le Ying in the film, I saw myself more and saw the different looks of loving myself at different stages of life.
What is Love Yourself? Is it love? Is it persistence?
Or is it the outcome that is ultimately hoped to be reached – winning?
This is the question thrown by "Hot and Hot".
It's what really touched me.
Why? Because Jia Ling is not just talking about success and victory through the characters.
She's looking back. In the ** trip of behind-the-scenes footage, Jia Ling told us that she had collapsed from crying mentality and secretly ate a bunch of mutton last night Hey Fall Scales At three o'clock in the morning, I was so hungry I wanted to eat two skewers of grilled chicken feet ——
Come to me to see what the limit is, come! Oh, my God!!! I have legs and necks!! It turns out that I have feet and necks!! One hundred pounds! One hundred pounds! I did it!!! Always be proud of yourself! 」…
To love oneself is to love every happy moment and every effort.
It is the right to embrace one's own dreams.
Jia Ling fought hard, and she and Le Ying completed a transformation together.
They won. 03, hot and piping hot.
Let's talk about the ending. With such a theme, it is impossible for the protagonist not to win.
So what's the suspense in the movie? There really is.
The point is, how to win, what to win?
At the end, you can discover what is more important to win or lose.
For me, "Hot and Hot" is the most suitable kind of movie for the Spring Festival, the first half is a very down-to-earth comedy, parents and children can understand it, and laugh back and forth.
The second half is very burning, and the last flashback is so touching.
In addition, what I particularly like is the kindness revealed in the movie.
For example, the conversation between Le Ying and her father about Apple is too classic.
and when Le Ying left home, her mother gave him 3,000 yuan, but she didn't ask for it; Later, when I wanted to use it, I just wanted to ask my mother, but I saw that this time you made my mother impressed, so I could only reluctantly delete the typed words, but after a while, my mother's money still came.
I also like the unconventional nature of the film.
Especially in the finale, if you don't fall into the routine of loving and fighting, you will win, and hard work will become a better version of yourself.
and in the face of the prodigal son's return, the chic sentence, "I don't like to eat bullfrogs" and "depending on the mood", is too happy.
I also really like the dreamy camera movement in the movie, the shot of Le Ying going upstairs in the heavy rain
The rain was pouring down, and in the boundless dark night, the lights in the corridor were lit up layer by layer, and then extinguished layer by layer, one after another, and the picture returned to darkness.
Finally, the window light flickered, and Le Ying lit a lamp for herself.
The theme of the movie is already clear at this time, ** boxing is not really the point, the point is, how to find the courage to love yourself.
This is also why, when Le Ying, who walked to the six-pack abs in the boxing ring, looked at her former self in the glass wall, she smiled.
But I cried so much.
This is really a pure, bloody story - everyone, is qualified to burn once.
It's not about winning, it's about being kind and living for yourself in the face of hurt.
It is the biggest burning in life!
Jia Ling made the ups and downs that a movie should have, and it was with the kind of emotion that had been blocked in her heart, when she saw the end of the movie, the feeling of finally letting go of the boulder became more and more real.
It also made me believe in that moment that I could too.
The English title of the film is "yolo", which means "you only live once".
Live for yourself and live hot and hot once!
Maybe ordinary, maybe no one is watching, life may not be a wilderness or a wilderness, but it can also shine on its own.
The ending is the least important, you just stand there and stand there for yourself.
Whether it's a boxing ring, or another dream place, you just stand there and don't move the ground for anyone.
I think it's pretty good.
Jia Ling did it, she made a good movie with her own practical actions.
This thing, too, is special, hot and piping hot.
