"Hot and Hot" has been unanimously praised by the whole network, and its charm is far more than that. Similar to "Hello, Li Huanying", the copyright of "Hot and Hot" has been acquired by foreign buyers. Although it has not yet been widely reported by overseas audiences, it has been widely reported in Japan.
They especially appreciated Jia Ling's courage and enthusiasm, and also thanked the Chinese director for reinterpreting the story. That's right, "Hot and Hot" is not an original, but an adaptation of the Japanese movie "100 Yen Love" 10 years ago.
Compared with the 4.9 billion box office of "Hot and Hot"**, "100 Yuan Love" has not only been nominated for many Japanese film awards, but also enjoys a high reputation in China. On Douban, more than 250,000 fans rated it as high as 83 points, 0 points higher than the Chinese version4 points.
However, despite its popularity in China, "100 Yuan Love" did not perform well in Japan, grossing less than 100 million yen. Comparing the Japanese version and the Chinese version, you will find that there are both similarities and differences between the two.
The similarity is that the Japanese version of the heroine is also an older unmarried woman who lives an ordinary life, playing games with her little nephew during the day and buying junk food for 100 yen in the evening.
In the story, she has a love for the boxer Yuji, full of admiration and love. However, the male protagonist is just an embellishment of the story, and the real protagonist is still the female protagonist.
The heroine Kazuko is confused, lonely, and angry in the face of Yuji's abandonment, ......The frequent appearance of 100-yuan coins in the movie seems to symbolize the identity of the heroine, who seems to be trampled on by life forever.
So, she was determined to win a chance for herself and live it once. Kazuko wields her long fist, and in one action after another, her passion finally explodes.
Although the plot remains basically the same, the ending is very different, at the end of "Hundred Yuan Love", a son overcomes himself, despite the defeat but still proud, her ex-boyfriend leads her forward, she cries and screams in pain; And "Hot and Hot" made Le Ying leave in style.
The two movies have their own merits, although the Japanese version has a higher rating, but I have to admit that "Hot and Hot" is warmer and more ideal. The Japanese version of the whole film is filled with "mourning" and "ugliness", and each character is oppressed by life like a ghost, exposing the dark side of developed countries, indifference, selfishness, vanity, and emptiness.
In fact, "Hot and Spicy" is like a bowl of spicy hot, a little spicy to the eyes, a little hot to taste, but the more you eat, the more fragrant it is, and the aftertaste is endless.
The soul of the movie is the heroine Le Ying, Jia Ling did not hold back, **100 pounds did what she said, and her acting skills were even more natural in place. The first time I saw Jia Ling was on the 2010 Spring Festival Gala cross talk show, she was wearing a red vest, she looked cute and cute, although it was not so eye-catching, but with her quick reaction and slippery mouth, she won back a city.
She graduated from the junior college class of Chinese opera cross talk performance, and has been shaking off her burden on the stage for a long time, and later switched to sketches, with a chubby image, thinking about others everywhere, kind and kind.
The current Jia Ling is the director of "Hello, Li Huanying" and the heroine of "Hot and Hot". When she first stepped into the film industry, she played the daughter of Lee Hwan Young, and her performance was very sincere and natural. The most amazing clip is that Jia Ling found that her mother Li Huanying had also traveled to modern times, and her eyes were full of tears.
Jia Ling's merit lies in her sincerity, but her acting skills are limited. When she plays Le Ying, her low self-esteem and loss often make her bow her head and dare not look directly at others, and her speech lacks strength, and the character's emotional performance lacks details, more like acting in a sketch-like clip.
If you want to compare her acting skills, the 38-year-old Ando Sakura is a professional actor, and her acting skills may be better. When she starred in "100 Yuan Love" at the age of 28, the whole scene was condensed in her eyes. She is like a volcano, full of anger, resentment, and other emotions that could erupt at any moment.
In the play, the heroine she plays does not show the waste wood stage through the obesity of the body, but through the depression of the mental state, showing the indifference and numbness of people on the margins of society. As the plot progresses, she gradually awakens and begins to have some resistance, and the transition is very natural.
Without Jia Ling's transformation of losing 100 pounds, the shock of "100 Yuan Love" will completely rely on Ando Sakura's acting skills.
From the beginning, she stayed at home, sloppy and uncultivated, showing an attitude of self-abandonment, pointing directly to the problems of the otaku family in Japanese society, there is no goal and direction, and the family is not a harbor. Then, she breaks away from her family and launches a small revolt against the enemy of nothingness, achieving a real and romantic transformation of the little person.
Sakura Ando is one of the popular actresses in Asia. Audiences who have watched "Thief Family" will be impressed by her unique acting skills. Her expression doesn't seem to change much in the film, but you can read a wealth of emotions on her face, from initial dislike to approval to full of love.
Sakura Ando's grasp of the role can be described as amazing, from the hair to the corners of the eyes to the front and back, every detail is part of the play. Of course, it is not said that Jia Ling's acting skills are not good, both have their own advantages and merits.
In contrast, although Jia Ling's performance is obvious, it is like boiled water, quenching thirst but lacking aftertaste, making people appreciate life in happiness and happiness. Sakura Ando is good at subtly hiding her acting skills, and her performance is like a work of art.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such performances that the rating of "100 Yuan Love" is higher. Even if the plot is more mournful, the realistic depiction makes people think deeply.
Both films depict the suffering of the little people at the bottom under the torrent of the times, so that the audience can intuitively feel the tenacious vines that grow tenaciously under the decay, loneliness, and helplessness of the heart. This may be the reason why the audience loves it more.
