In five days, the box office of "Hot and Hot" has exceeded 1.9 billion. And the same eye-catching as the box office is the director and starring of the film, Jia Ling. Ahem, let's announce that I have seen Jia Ling herself who has returned to the public eye!
To the naked eye, "Losing Half of Jia Ling" is more shocking than watching it on the big screen. 
Undoubtedly, "Hot and Hot" has become one of the most popular movies in this Spring Festival. 
It's just that if today's gratifying results are projected onto Jia Ling, it will inevitably make people have a kind of doubt. Jia Ling, a halfway director, has achieved good results in two consecutive works. This contrast aroused Piao's curiosity, what secrets does she hold on the road of film creation? might as well take advantage of the popularity of "Hot and Hot" today to chat. 
If you want to talk about Jia Ling's current creative book, you still have to go back to this movie first. recalled that when the movie was not yet broadcast, there were many doubts about the film on the Internet at that time. In terms of plot, this is the story of a girl who was abandoned by society and rediscovered herself through boxing. 
The term "counterattack" has also become a superficial preset for a considerable number of people about this movie. However, when I officially met Du Leying in the theater, this doubt disappeared in an instant. I had been expecting "Hot and Hot", but I didn't expect it to give me results that exceeded my expectations. First of all, the counterattack narrative in the traditional "sports inspirational film" is not visible here. Jia Ling's Le Ying, even at the end, is a "not very successful" adult under universal standards. For her, boxing is not a turning point or redemption in her life, nor is it a luxury giant ship that a person who is stranded on a desert island finally waits for. Needless to say, boxing is more like a flat boat for Du Leying. At this moment, she has the strength to continue to cross the ocean, which helps her to open up more and more in life. But it was always herself who made the boat move. 
And to talk about this surprise in detail, we have to focus on the plot itself. The following contains minor spoilers) Le Ying, really a wonderful person. Let's say that she is mourned, but she is not mourned to the extent of lying down and being ridiculed, but she is always a little unwilling to be manipulated. Distant cousin Doudou (played by Yang Zi) interned at a TV station and found guests for a reality show that helped people find jobs, which brought her thought of her idle cousin. But under the humiliation of the camera, the seemingly cowardly Le Ying said that if she didn't record it, she wouldn't record it, and she turned her head and left the people in the room and ran away. She's defending her self-esteem. At the dinner table, she quarreled with her sister Le Dan (played by Zhang Xiaofei), who was divorced at home, and was accused of gnawing at home as a moth, and she immediately countered her sister's cheating in marriage. As a result, the two sisters fought on the spot. She's pretending**. 
But a person who is so sensitive and can easily be provoked to protect the mechanism is often more fragile inside.
After graduating, Du Leying stayed at home for ten years, suffering from white eyes and bullying, and the more the outside world pressured her, the more afraid she was to go to the outside world.
This hopeless situation made her herself unsure of how to continue, and her life seemed to have no end in sight except for desolation. Therefore, although there were several "ruthless" performances at the beginning, Le Ying's soul is extremely soft and weak. 
is obviously angry at the betrayal of her boyfriend and best friend, but she still reluctantly wants to be a bridesmaid for the two.
obviously didn't want to participate in the show to expose his scars, and he had to be subjected to malicious editing and on-site judges, but in the end, he was arranged by his cousin. This is the first half of Le Ling's life, and it also shows the cruelest and true side of the pleasing personality.
Selling dignity is to win the affirmation of others for oneself.
However, this kind of self-consuming payment will eventually run out of oil and run out.
The last straw that crushed Le Ying was the boxing coach she regarded as a life-saving straw, Haokun. She and Haokun met when they were poor, Le Ying squeezed herself to provide a material foundation, Haokun casually threw her some emotional value, and the two lived together. 
But when she heard Haokun trying to clarify with others in private that the two had no relationship, Le Ying was heartbroken. It turned out that God not only did not treat her preferentially, but also trampled her deeper into the soil. 
However, the expected Jedi** did not come as expected.
She walked into the gym, still timidly saying that she wanted to play.
And this caution happens to be the expression that Piao likes more and is more in line with the character's temperament. 
Reversals in life don't have so much of a sense of ritual, they require a passionate and magnificent statement, or some specific form and node. Reversal, on the contrary, should be the persistence and march of a long stream.
Everyone has been pouring cold water on Le Ying all the way since she stood in the boxing ring.
But look at her, she will never be influenced by others again. She is like the loneliest but faithful warrior on the battlefield, who continues to chase her goals even when she is beaten by the other side and has a bloody mouth.
To outsiders, this is almost a stupid masochistic act. There are no bonuses, no honors, it is almost impossible to be recognized, only wounded all remain. Do you remember the moment when Du Leying collapsed when she failed to commit suicide? She looked at her fat body in the mirror and cried bitterly: there is no wound at all?! This line shook me in my chair at the time, and I didn't know what to do. Yes, this is the real despair of a person. As a person who has been ravaged to the point of losing the will to live, she doesn't even have any trace of the existence of these oppressions.
So this kind of Nezha's "self-abuse" has become the best way for her to find traces of existence. She has to experience a different life, to experience the blow of life to her, and no longer numbly dodge. She went head-on because she wanted to win once.
And this, to a certain extent, also reflects Jia Ling in reality. She clearly has many ways to complete this role, but she chose the most "clumsy" one to experience the weight of life with the character.
Spend a year learning boxing from 0 to 1, first gain weight and then lose weight and gain muscle, just to fit the plot setting.
is willing to spend a whole year doing something with unknown results, whether it is for the actor or the character, it is a great willfulness. So between the virtual and the real, clumsiness has become clever. Le Ying needs to swing her fist at the void, sweep away the anxiety and cowardice, and relearn how to face the twists and turns of fate. And Jia Ling also has to experience the transformation with the character, burn herself to achieve the character, and let the script fall to the ground. It's not a profound skill, but it will always bless people: the sincerity and non-foolishness of the creator.
It's not like other actors are still playing characters,Jia Ling simply handed herself over to Le Ying.
There is such a scene in the movie.
When Dad saw boxer Le Ying again, Le Ying asked a question to the effect of: You have a big apple and a small apple, and your friend asks you for it, which one do you give? Her own original answer to this question was, give both. This symbolizes her bottomless style of doing things during the period of the pleasing personality.
But she later smiled and gave another answer:I look at the mood. And in reality, Jia Ling looks at this problem like this - she will give, or even both, but this must be her choice, and she will fully express her wishes, not for anyone.
It is not difficult to see that she is braver and more peaceful now. She is not afraid to push her new limits, and she is no longer afraid of being denied and bastard. By playing Le Ying, Jia Ling also has a chance to love herself again. If I tried my best, I was a great person
This is a change in the way we look at the world brought about by a different mentality. Because I have accumulated the power of self-confidence in the process of hard work, I know that applying other people's standards to myself is demanding. After the movie, two easter eggs were released, which also made Piao quite emotional.
One is the record of her training for the role in the past year - I'm so hungry at 3 a.m. Mom, I'm so tired Is this hell here, I want to eat matcha cake and chicken feet The ever-changing digital record shows that she has become better and stronger, and the essence is a process of breaking and rebuilding. In the second easter egg, she picks up the paintbrush again. Why did Sister Ling learn to draw? It's nothing, I just want to be a better version of myself. It turned out that no one could understand her storyboard manuscript when filming "Li Huanying", so she kept secretly competing. Thinking about her from Xiangyang, Hubei Province to Beijing to learn cross talk, and then to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, her strings were tight all the way. During the filming of "Li Huanying", because of self-doubt, she often relied on eating to relieve anxiety. I'm tired of writing a script, I have a meal, and I haven't done anything today, so let's eat again.
* Behind these behaviors of "Face to Face", the essence is a lack of security and self-confidence. But that's not the case anymore. As I said earlier, boxing is not a salvation for Le Ying, nor is it a way out. She has seen with her own eyes, shouting at herself as an authoritative coach, but in private is just a "black-hearted" boss who breaks the gym, and a male player like Haokun who has a certain level will be laid off to do manual labor when he reaches the age.
I believe that she selfishly did not regard boxing as everything in the rest of her life.
But do you remember the image of her greeting herself in the mirror before walking to the ring? She is not worried or cowardly, and accepts herself from the bottom of her heart, they don't need anything to promise themselves a second half of their lives, but they will stride out of a second half of their lives with confidence. Jia Ling and Le Ying constitute two sides of the same coin, and they have become a force that transcends the movie itself, and also makes "Hot and Hot" bring the audience a unique experience.
With the box office of the movie rising, the news about Jia Ling has also been blowing out in the past two days. One of them caught my particular attentionHollywood's Sony Pictures announced the purchase of the global distribution rights of "Hot and Hot", which is also the first domestic film to be released globally by Sony Pictures after nine years.
A similar affirmation happened in her first film. Just last October, Sony Pictures announced that it had won the remake rights to "Hello, Li Huanying", and Jia Ling became the executive producer of this version. I think behind all these honors is inseparable from two words:Sincere.
Since the establishment of "Hello, Li Huanying", there has been no shortage of doubts about her director's professional ability on the Internet. However, due to the fullness of emotional expression, Jia Ling successfully dispelled the audience's doubts.
She once said in an interview that what her mother wanted most when she was alive was a green fur coat. At that time, she failed to help her mother fulfill her wish, and many years later, she was arranged in the movie.
* "Hello, Li Huanying" When buying a TV, when everyone was looking at the TV, only Li Huanying was looking at her daughter Jia Xiaoling with her back to the TV. and the scene at the end, the license plate hy1012 of the convertible arranged by Jia Ling is Li Huanying's death day.
* Three years after "Hello, Li Huanying", small details similar to the heart appear again.
On Le Ying's way to the boxing ring, the vest she was wearing was embroidered with a line of small letters, that's li huanying'S Daughter (Lee Hwan Young's daughter). And the place of embroidery is right near the heart. A puppy can also be seen in an official release of materials.
Whenever Jia Ling was on the verge of collapse, this puppy would always run for the first time and became Jia Ling's best placebo. And this puppy was adopted by her while filming "Li Huanying".
took the puppy he picked up on the set when he was filming his mother, to reinvent himself, and in the flow of time, it seems that his mother is accompanying him step by step towards a new life. And in the end, the film also jumps out of personal experiences and encounters, and resonates with many similar ordinary people.
So, there is this sentence that Jia Ling said in the roadshow:This movie is also dedicated to the audience.
In the abundant emotional expression, it is enough to see her sincerity and intentions for her works. Each of her creations is not so much a work as a part of herself to the characters. first dedicated his most innocent thoughts about his mother and created Li Huanying. Through Le Ying's transformation, let everyone see what she said at the beginning, "Hello, Li Huanying" exploded at the box office, and she lost weight like lightning, which is not a broken promise. To the works,She isWholeheartedly dedicated, completely exposed to themselves. This attitude is also the power itself. When a person can give himself to the outside world so sincerely, and at the same time can stick to his own heart, and express his control of life with the phrase "depending on the mood", this is the most profound transformation. The English translation of "Hot and Hot" is yolo, you only live onceYou only live once. This is the most obvious truth, but there are still many people who dare not face it squarely, and live a hot life. Jia Ling doesn't like to talk about big truths, she just did a very authentic ruthless thing: demonstrate it in person.
As a result, her success no longer feels like an accident.
