Wang Jing's evaluation of "Hot and Hot" and "Article 20" was blunt, and she did not hide her personal preferences at all.
In this Spring Festival schedule, the movie "Hot and Hot" has achieved remarkable results, achieving a box office income of 2.7 billion and winning the highest honor in the file. This film, directed by Jiang Wen and produced by Zhang Yimou, has won both word-of-mouth and box office harvests. Following "Flying Life 2", "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou followed "Bear Infested", and with a box office income of 1.3 billion, it became a supporting role in the movie.
