has transformed from a cross talk actor to a "comedy queen", her fans are getting more and more, and her weight is getting heavier and heavier, but she doesn't dare to ** when she becomes famous, for fear that she will lose her "joy". In those years, Jia Ling brought a lot of joy to everyone, but fatally, she inevitably fell into professional internal friction, and she found that "my armor is gone".
Text丨Financial gossip female author: Yueyue
Friends who gain three pounds during the festive season, have you been losing weight recently?
A few years ago, Jia Ling, who disappeared from the audience's field of vision for more than a year, suddenly officially announced that she had directed and starred in a movie, and lost 100 pounds for it! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Hot and Hot" came as scheduled, and the eighth sister also went to the cinema, when she saw that she really lost weight, the audience collectively exclaimed, "Wow", everyone felt what it means to be a big change of life:
The huge contrast has led to the successful detonation of many topics about Jia Ling in the past few days, and the Weibo hot search list has been directly swiped.
However, traffic and popularity are often accompanied by controversy, and sure enough, the verbal criticism of Jia Ling also followed.
For example, the straight male community tiger pounces on all the bad reviews and low scores; For example, after watching her interview, someone said that she was not happy at all, she was not as likable as before, and she couldn't tell jokes to make the audience happy; There are also female artists who can't escape the judgment of appearance and figure, and these evaluations are quite consistent
"Thin is thin, but it's not good-looking, it looks old. ”That's right, for a long time in the past, Jia Ling has always been very fat, because she is a comedian, she has no "idol baggage" at all, and she has always been very open-minded to scandalize herself and entertain the audience, for a long time she didn't dare to lose weight, for fear that she would no longer lose her "joy".Skinny is thin, the skin is loose and loose, and it is not good-looking. “
At that time, the poisonous gossip ** called her "the first clown in the Chinese comedy circle", relying on the identity of "comedian", she also gained early fame, money, and ...... status
But what is rare is that she has the courage to break the kettle and start all over again.
A few years ago, Jia Ling decided to open up a second battlefield in her career, to become a director and make movies; Last year, she disappeared for another year, and in order to be a good movie heroine, she even gained 40 pounds and then lost 100 pounds......
Over the years, from the well-known "Queen of Comedy" to film director and capital celebrity, the more successful Jia Ling is, the more praise and controversy she will have.
has become a top actress in the comedy circle with her figure
It is rumored on the Internet that Jia Ling, who is 300 pounds, is actually a "male god harvester"? /
Jia Ling used to have many labels, such as "chubby", "fat and round", "female version of Huang Bo", "the first clown in the comedy circle", ......Most of these nicknames are related to her figure, and there were even rumors on the Internet that Jia Ling weighed nearly 300 pounds.
But it is precisely because of this down-to-earth image that she has become a "male god harvester" who unifies the fan circles. For example, on station B, she is the top of the CP Lalang world, known as the "CP carrying handle", and there is even such a sentence in the fan circle:
"Celebrities who have not been chased by Yue Yunpeng and have never been in love with Jia Ling are not popular. ”
Of course, these are all ridicule. But it can also be seen that the audience is keen to make some innocuous jokes about Jia Ling's figure. Looking at Jia Ling's history of fame, her success and getting out of the circle have always been closely related to her figure.
When she was a student, Jia Ling was also a beautiful little beauty, and her idol at that time was Zhang Ziyi, dreaming that she could become an actress like her. It's a pity that the road of life went round and round, and finally went in a different direction.
In the millennium, Jia Ling applied for the performance department of ** Drama Academy, but was finally unsuccessful. In the second year, in order to successfully go ashore, she applied for the drama and cross talk major of ** Drama Academy at the same time, but she didn't expect to be admitted to both majors.
At that time, the admissions office called ** to Jia Ling's house and asked her which major she was choosing, and it happened that Jia Ling went out, and her mother spoke with an accent, and by mistake sent her into the first comedy cross talk class established by Chinese opera. There are 40 students in the class, and there are only 7 girls, and the teacher is Feng Gong.
The greatest charm of comedy is to make the audience laugh out loud from the heart, but behind the laughter, comedians will more or less give up their self-image. Writer Chi Li once said:
"It is said that cross talk often needs gags, hippie smiles, and pretending to be crazy and stupid, and men do it, happy, chic, it is a kind of demeanor, and women do it, okay, it's completely stupid big sister. ”Therefore, there are very few women in the cross talk world. When she graduated in 2003, the girls in the same class were busy changing careers and finding a way out, but Jia Ling went to participate in the National Cross Talk Sketch Invitational Competition, and won the championship of the professional group with her work "What's Up".
Since then, she has gradually become famous in the cross talk world. In 2008, Jia Ling created the "Cool Comedy" "Big Talk" "Big Talk", which was extremely popular and performed more than 80 times in various small theaters in Beijing. Two years later, with this work, 29-year-old Jia Ling appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and won the third prize of "My Favorite Spring Festival Gala Program".
In 2011, Jia Ling and Bai Kainan cooperated again and performed the cross talk "Open Sesame" at the Spring Festival Gala. Since then, she has been well-known by more and more audiences, and has become a frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala of various David TVs, and has frequently appeared in variety shows and reality shows. Within a few years, she began acting in sketches.
In 2015, 33-year-old Jia Ling partnered with Qu Ying, and appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala again with the sketch "Joy Street", the two represented the female man and the goddess respectively, and the lines were impressive through comparison:
"I'm beautiful, and a group of boys hug me back and forth, which is very face-saving. ”I had no heart or lungs, and a group of boys hugged me and asked me to wrestle my wrists. ”
The audience burst into laughter, the image of a "female man" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she entertains everyone by scandalizing herself, doesn't Jia Ling have the burden of a female artist's appearance? Here's how she replied:
"I don't have a face problem, it's the job of a comedian to make you happy. ”
Shen Teng, who is also a top actor in the comedy circle, also broke her advantages in one sentence
"Men like her, women don't envy her. ”
But in those years, as Jia Ling's fame grew, as well as her weight, she became fatter and fatter.
When she was recording "Variety Show" on Hunan Satellite TV, she often ran to eat supper after recording in the middle of the night, and also preferred heavy oil and spicy snacks, and gained 30 pounds at the end of two years of recording; When performing "Comedy, Comedy" in "Happy Comedian", she ate two red peppers for the effect of the show, drank a bottle of beer in one go, and then began to quickly nibble on watermelon ......
Jia Ling has transformed from a cross talk actor to a "comedy queen" by constantly deprecating herself in her works, her fans are getting more and more, and her weight is getting heavier and heavier, but she doesn't dare to be famous, for fear that she will lose her "sense of joy".
In those years, Jia Ling brought a lot of joy to everyone, but fatally, she inevitably fell into professional internal friction, and she found that "my armor is gone".
The background of comedy is sad, and the more successful Jia Ling is, the more lost she becomes, because her happiness and achievements can no longer be shared with her mother:
"Even if I go to the Spring Festival Gala, I can marry well, no matter how I am, I feel that I am always ......When I lie in bed at night, I think, my mom doesn't know. ”Whether it is performing cross talk, sketches, or participating in variety shows, Jia Ling has always been the one who makes everyone laugh and laugh. But the deepest regret in her heart is always the early death of her mother, but in the dark, this regret has also become a springboard for a new chapter in her life.
The box office of 1.2 billion leads the Spring Festival stalls
From the "Queen of Comedy" to the capital giant,
How did Jia Ling start her career? /
2016 is a watershed in Jia Ling's life, this year she did several important things that are closely related, and after gradually fading away from the identity of "Queen of Comedy", she has two more eye-catching new identities: one is a female director, and the other is promoted to the capital big coffee "Boss Jia".
Inspired by the model of Happy Twist and Deyun Club, that year, Jia Ling registered Beijing Big Bowl Entertainment Culture Media *** and later called Big Bowl Entertainment). Tianyancha information shows that Jia Ling (real name Jia Yuling) holds 65% of the shares of Big Bowl Entertainment, Sun Jibin, a screenwriter who has worked with him for many years, holds 15% of the shares, Xiaohong Culture holds 20% of the shares, and Jia Ling's father Jia Wentian is the chairman.
That summer, Jia Ling also signed an actress who had shared hardships with her, Zhang Xiaofei, and then wrote and directed the first sketch work "Hello, Li Huanying".
It is said that during this sketch that year, Jia Ling often broke down and cried, because she felt that she had experienced the loss of her mother again, and she used the sketch to express those regrets:
"Mom, I bought you a refrigerator, with double doors; Mom, I bought you a fur coat; Mom, I'm a comedian now, and a lot of people like me; Mom, I'm finally out of luck, I'm sorry I didn't have time to let you live a good life. ”As a result, in all Chinese New Year comedies, sincerity has become nirvana. In the Spring Festival file in 2021, "Hello, Li Huanying" adapted from the sketch was born, beating the seed contestant "Detective Chinatown 3" that year, and became the champion of the Spring Festival file with a box office score of over 5.4 billion, and the female director became famous.
But one thing to say, from the perspective of commercial performance, Jia Ling is not the biggest winner of "Hello, Li Huanying", and it is Beijing Culture, the number one producer, and many film and television companies involved in the production of the film.
According to the data of Maoyan Professional Edition, the final box office figure of "Hello, Li Huanying" is fixed at 541.3 billion yuan. Among them, the account-sharing box office was 494.7 billion yuan, according to the ** side 3924%, cinema 5227%, other 8With a 49% account sharing ratio, the filmmaker can get 19With a box office share of 4.1 billion yuan, theaters can get 258.5 billion yuan of box office share.
In contrast, director Jia Ling's company did not get a lot of money at the box office from this popular movie. An industry insider once revealed:
At that time, Jia Ling was a fledgling director, but she was still conservative, and in the end, her box office share was up to 100 million. ”If there is a first time making a movie, whether it is a director or an investor, Jia Ling is still immature. After returning to the Spring Festival file with "Hot and Hot" three years later, she obviously has greater ambitions in film and business.
Due to the extremely successful commercial results of "Hello, Li Huanying", "Hot and Hot" has high hopes from the outside world. As the director and starring Jia Ling, she is also the investor of this new film, and she holds 65% of the shares of Big Bowl Entertainment, ranking fifth producer of "Hot and Hot". Some people say:
"If "Hot and Hot" can replicate the box office myth of that year, according to Jia Ling's Weibo **100 catties, every pound of meat she minus will bring this new film a box office of up to 54.13 million yuan! ”Some people also say that in view of the success of "Hello, Li Huanying", the new film is likely to rise in terms of salary and account sharing, and it is estimated that its income will exceed 200 million yuan.
And the box office performance of "Hot and Hot" may have reassured Boss Jia, who worked hard to promote, and on the day of its premiere on the Lunar New Year, he slashed 500 million at the box office.
That is to say, the works of famous directors, classic IPs, and actors, all of which were directly beaten by the successful Jia Ling. No matter how sour some of the evaluations are, this is a proper reality heroine.
In addition to being thin, Jia Ling, who learned to treat herself well:
"In the days to come, I want to love myself".
Let's go back to "Hot and Hot", in the easter egg at the end of the movie, she permed a big wave, stood on the beach in a long skirt, and smiled like a flower.
But for some reason, compared with the thin version of Jia Ling when she was young, she now smiles and makes people feel that her eyes are firmer, and her smile is also angular and self-contained.
In fact, in the past few days after the release, the controversy about Jia Ling's weight loss has been spread wildly on the Internet, and some people even believe that "*100 pounds" has become the only highlight of this movie.
But is that really the case?
There may be many viewers who walked into the cinema with the idea of "looking at the thinned Jia Ling", but I believe that when the movie ends, most people should agree that being thin is just a gimmick, and she wants to express more than that.
Among the many hot search entries about Jia Ling, there is one that is very eye-catching:
Jia Ling said that it was not that she was thinner, but that she was strongerWhen the **100-pound Jia Ling appeared, it really exploded, with tight muscle lines, firm eyes with ambition, the whole person was full of a sense of strength, and she really "became stronger".
What's even more rare is that Jia Ling's movies always have the strength to "beat the master to death" with sincerity, if "Hello, Li Huanying" is her regret to her mother, then "Hot and Hot" is her finding herself and explaining to herself.
As a very sincere female growth story, what Jia Ling wants to convey is never body anxiety, but how women should kill the "pleasing personality", how to love themselves with all their might, and fight for themselves.
On Weibo, there is a very popular Weibo that wrote: It turns out that if you go all out for yourself to live once, you will not lose.
It turned out that "a person who is always pleasing and a person who is always giving without a bottom line, finally realized one day that I can love myself a little more." ”
Learning to say no, be kind to yourself, and love yourself is also a must for each of us in our lives.
When "Hello, Li Huanying" was born, Jia Ling once said that if the box office was 3 billion, "I would be thin like a lightning".
To be honest, Jia Ling doesn't actually need to be a director, make movies, and fight in highly competitive commercial films, especially in the Spring Festival. Because she has long been recognized as the "queen of comedy", her career in the comedy circle has almost reached the top.
When she returned to the Spring Festival file with "Hot and Hot", she had already won like Du Leying in the movie, because she not only fulfilled her promise to the audience that year, but also successfully restarted herself and found herself.
All the past is prologue. At the beginning of the new year, I wish you and I can have a hot life! If someone questions and evaluates your choice, I hope you can answer like Jia Ling
"In the days to come, I want to love myself".”
