As of press time.
The box office of the movie "Hot and Hot" exceeded 1.8 billion.
The box office of the movie "Flying Life 2" exceeded 1.6 billion.
It seems that there is only a difference of 200 million between the two movies, but the gap between Jia Ling and Shen Teng has widened!
Hot piping hot.
When it comes to comedies, everyone will think of Shen Teng.
In the past 9 years, Shen Teng has been the box office guarantee of comedy movies.
If you can invite him, it means making money.
The box office is higher.
The box office is lower if the content is low.
But all of them far exceed the cost of investment.
In 2021, "Hello, Li Huanying" was born.
This is Jia Ling's first work as a director.
The plot, cast, and actors' acting skills are not superb.
But it exceeded all expectations.
This movie beats Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown 3".
won the box office championship that year.
Since then, we have realized: Shen Teng's "fierce enemy" has appeared.
In the field of variety shows, both of them have super funny abilities and unique brain circuits.
Whether it's "Ace vs. Ace" that the two collaborated on
or Jia Ling's "Youth Travel" is the favorite program of friends.
In 2024, Jia Ling's self-directed and self-starred "Hot and Hot" met the IP movie "Flying Life 2" starring Shen Teng, when everyone was busy comparing the plot, cast, and investment costs.
Jia Ling changed her routine - she was ruthless to herself!
The magic weapon of a comedy star is baggage, as long as it can make the audience laugh, the box office will not have to worry.
That's what Shen Teng did.
From the early "Charlotte Troubles" to the later "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
and then to the recent "Lonely on the Moon".
The movie itself is not much different.
It is by relying on dense linguistic baggage.
Shen Teng himself didn't want to step out of his comfort zone.
Even after "Super Family" was scolded for being a bad movie, he didn't change much.
Because he knows it well:
In this era of fast-moving consumer goods, as long as you can make stalks, you can have no worries about food and clothing, even if you withdraw from the circle now, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!
Jia Ling is different! In order to show multifacetedness.
She lost weight, and this loss was 100 pounds.
In the words of netizens: Jia Ling lost one of herself!
That's 100 pounds, not 10 pounds.
Anyone who has lost weight knows what that means.
Eat a strict diet and exercise for a year.
Accept a life that ordinary people can't accept.
And all this, she could have chosen to refuse.
Like Shen Teng, just find a script to shoot and record a variety show at will.
Maybe it's like the line that often appears in movies, "I want to win once".
Jia Ling, who has already achieved fame, still wants to "win again".
And want to do that.
She needs to tear herself apart with her own hands and retrace the path she has walked.
Even if there are more thorns on the road.
It is worth mentioning.
Jia Ling's attempt was a huge risk.
In the past, she was simple and very cute, which invisibly shortened the distance between her and fans.
Now she was completely changed, if it weren't for the two dimples next to her cheeks.
Many people don't even know that she is Jia Ling.
With more three-dimensional facial features, she is no longer so down-to-earth, and her affinity has disappeared.
As it turned out, Jia Ling's attempt was right.
She has set an example for many by leading by example and changing the trajectory of her life by losing weight.
It is also the output of this kind of values that made the originally low-quality "Hot and Hot" win 1.8 billion box office.
According to the current momentum, it is very likely to surpass "Hello Li Huanying" and even "Wolf Warrior 2".
Visible to the naked eye.
In the years to come, Shen Teng will still follow the old path and don't care about the quality of the movie.
And what about Jia Ling? She will try more, more possibilities!
As for whose choice is right, let the years verify it!
