Jia Ling's film "Hot and Hot" won more than 2.9 billion box office in only 10 days of release, won the champion of this year's Spring Festival, and surpassed the movie "Chinese Captain" and successfully ranked among the top 20 box office in Chinese film history. Previously, she relied on the director's ** work "Hello, Li Huanying" The box office was as high as 541.3 billion, ranking third. Jia Ling's achievements in the film are not unimpressive, but as the box office of "Hot and Hot" continues to climb, the voices of skepticism, antipathy and criticism are also heating up, highlighting the dramatic change in the audience's reputation for Jia Ling overnight.
Some people claim that Jia Ling in the movie was done with advanced AI, and she didn't **. In addition, some voices said that Jia Ling was ugly in terms of appearance, and she would hype her mother every time she filmed, but this time it was even more excessive, for the sake of the box office, she regretted to hype her own figure. At the same time, some people accuse Jia Ling of excessive marketing, and it is difficult for the general public to live in ordinary times, and she hypes ** to reach 100 pounds, which can easily put other obese people in a disadvantageous position. There are even some people who are worried about Jia Ling's future, thinking that she may change her image if she loses weight, and it will be difficult to perform humorous comedy.
By me**, "Hot and Hot" left a deep impression on people, especially the protagonist Le Ying left a deep impression on the audience. From a lazy fat man to an amateur boxer, this transformation not only changed her weight, but also deeply affected her heart.
After suffering a heavy blow and defeat in a boxing match, Le Ying got rid of the situation of low self-esteem, weakness, and only pandering to others. Eventually, she began to use the mantra "look at the mood" frequently. Although this sentence sounds decadent, it is hard to imagine how much courage it would take for a person who is used to pleasing others to say it.
Jia Ling shows her empathetic side, acutely capturing the suffering of underrepresented people who lack a sense of support and are often marginalized. Although "Hot and Hot" is an adaptation of the film, Jia Ling ensures that the quality of the film lives up to the expectations of the high box office through clever localization. However, as far as my perception is concerned, there are still some flaws to achieve 100% perfection. From the acting to the logic of the plot, there are problems in some aspects. For example, in the movie, Le Ying is turned into a waste wood in part because of her own problems, and her parents' connivance and doting make her willing to degrade herself at home, which may make it difficult for the audience to sympathize.
However, many of the criticisms seem to be directed not only at the film itself, but also directly at Jia Ling as a person. This situation is quite profound. We need to think, what caused Jia Ling to be criticized? Could it be that her image has been damaged?
Jia Ling is not just working hard to **100 pounds in the new movie, but out of respect for the needs of the role, through strict training methods to make herself more in line with the image of the role. The key point is that her focus is not just on weight loss, but on how to respect the role and show the closest appearance to the role through hard training. This respect for the role and her passion and sincerity for the production of the film are on full display through her physical training.
Jia Ling's filmography doesn't always pursue depth or high value, and her storylines are often easy to understand. The first film explores the redemption of maternal love, while the second focuses on the redemption of the individual, but what they have in common is her ability to dedicate genuine emotions to the character and to the film, a sincerity that connects the viewer to her work rather than staying on the surface.
Although Jia Ling can use stand-ins or artificial intelligence technology to fulfill the requirements of some roles, she chooses the most simple and arduous way to achieve her goals. In today's film and television industry, some actors are even unwilling to change into shabby clothes for their roles, and some people are unwilling to remove their makeup and dye their hair when they appear in anti-Japanese war dramas.
With that in mind, why don't we use what Jia Ling has done for the new film as a marketing strategy? Her hard work and sincerity fully deserve to be publicized and admired. Her dedication and hard work are a testament to how committed she is to her role, and we should consider that sincerity as a valuable quality.
In the movie "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling went through rigorous training, sacrificed half of her life, and struggled on the verge of collapse every day, and finally showed the fruits of her hard work. Compared with the CP hype and false propaganda often used in other marketing films, the hot spots she presents are genuine, but why are they questioned?
The most strange thing is that Jia Ling is not the only one who changed her figure for the role to be more in line with the characteristics of the character. In fact, Wang Chuanjun lost more than 20 pounds in order to play a terminally ill patient in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and Deng Chao lost 40 pounds in order to shoot "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou, but they were praised as models of dedication, but Jia Ling's dedication has become the object of accusation, do we have to hold double standards?
Actually, for Jia Ling, this argument may be a good thing. Once, Jia Ling became the mascot of the entertainment industry and a national idol with high emotional intelligence. No matter how handsome the male star is, only they are not worthy of Jia Ling, and no one thinks that Jia Ling is not worthy of them. Her CP collocation is accepted, no matter who she is with, Jia Ling will not be involved in scandals.
However, the "sense of security" that praises her too much implies contempt, believing that her fat makes people feel superior, and that her sexual charm is not enough to attract the eyes of male stars. Praise her for her excessive sense of security makes this contempt all the more significant. The original flattering image faded away from gender characteristics and became like a man**, a kind of character that no woman would accept.
Jia Ling is not playing the real self, but an appearance that is shown to the outside world by her inner persistence. Her sense of comedy comes from the professional training of cross talk actors, witty, high emotional intelligence, and good at coping, but she also has a deep self-demand compulsion. She sees it as her responsibility to be the pistachio of those around her, and it is her mission to make everyone happy. Gaining recognition by pleasing others actually hides an inferiority complex.
Now that she has lost weight, she no longer deliberately laughs, and her eyes show a light of determination and determination. This change not only stems from **, but also a sense of accomplishment after long-term self-discipline and paying a heavy price, and re-examines self-worth and positioning.
She said that in the face of an awkward atmosphere, she would act according to her mood. This self-confidence is also reflected in her movie "Look at the Mood", giving the apple to others also depends on the mood, and accepting the invitation of her ex-boyfriend is also based on the mood. This represents the awakening of the people-pleasing personality, showing that she embraces life in a relaxed way, pays more attention to herself, and loves herself more. Loving yourself is the real core of the movie "Hot and Hot", and Jia Ling reinterprets it for us outside the film.
This change is not easy, because the price is that she has broken her personality. But thankfully, it finally collapsed, and only after the collapse could she truly be free, and that freedom came from her rediscovering her true, unwavering self.
