According to Maoyan's authoritative data, director Jia Ling's new work "Hot and Hot" jumped to the top of this year's Spring Festival with an astonishing box office of 2.9 billion just ten days after its release, and even surpassed "Chinese Captain" and proudly ranked among the top 20 box office in Chinese film history.
What is remarkable is that director Jia Ling's talent has made two works enter this hall of honor, "Hello, Li Huanying" with 54The brilliant box office performance of 1.3 billion is firmly in third place, witnessing her directorial strength and influence.
Although Jia Ling has achieved remarkable box office success in the Chinese film industry with her two films, which is legendary, as the box office of "Hot and Hot" continues to climb, the voices of doubt and criticism surrounding her have also heated up.
The audience's praise that had been accumulated for many years seemed to be challenged overnight. Some people accused her of perhaps over-publicizing**, sparking a discussion about body expectations;
There have also been questions about whether she is over-exploiting her personal image in her quest for box office success, even touching on past controversies. These remarks put Jia Ling's image to the test.
Some people insist that Jia Ling** is pure fiction, but it is actually a clever use of AI technology; There are also people who worry that her ** will affect her image and question that the road to comedy will be blocked.
However, I personally experienced "Hot and Hot", which was full of charm, especially in the second half of Zhao Yingjun's "Send You a Little Red Flower"**, which exploded the audience and made people's blood boil.
The protagonist Le Ying has transformed from a lazy fat house to an amateur boxer, and this transformation is not only a weight loss, but also an awakening of the soul.
Despite her repeated defeats in the ring, she used it to shatter her old self, the one who had low self-esteem, weakness, and pandering to others.
In the end, "living with nature" has become Le Ying's new label, which seems to be negative, but it is full of tenacity and courage to get rid of the people-pleasing personality.
Jia Ling's unique perspective is as captivating as a magnet, and she has a deep insight into the bitterness of the neglected and vulnerable people in life. Despite being based on the original work, the film's localization blends just right, and the box office complements the quality.
However, truth be told, it's not flawless, and there's room for improvement out of 100. There is still room for improvement in the performance of the actors and the logic of the plot, for example, Le Ying's frustration in the play seems to be partly due to her own choices, and her parents' excessive pampering made her too comfortable in the early stage, which makes the audience's sympathy for her subsequent encounters discounted.
Although the outside world's doubts about Jia Ling do not focus on the quality of the film, but directly point to her personally, there is a unique perspective hidden behind it. What did Jia Ling do to cause such a reaction?
The answer is that she put everything into it, worked hard like a professional fighter, and carefully created a film with great enthusiasm and dedication. Those who have watched the movie know that the statement that she lost 100 pounds in the film is a misunderstanding, not a marketing strategy.
Jia Ling did not use ** hype, but according to the needs of the plot, through strict training, adjusted her body and mind to the extent that she was closely integrated with the role. In order to take on the role of a boxer, she went all out and transformed into a boxing fighter.
Her vision is not to make Jia Ling ** shape and pursue external beauty, but to focus on Jia Ling's deep respect for the role, and she has cultivated a solid muscle strength with perseverance.
Each of these muscles symbolizes her ardent love and dedication to the film industry.
Jia Ling's filmography is known for its sincerity and straightforwardness, each of which tells the redemption of emotions with a concise yet profound story.
The first focuses on the power of motherhood, and the second is a journey of self-growth, and what they all have in common is that she always connects with the audience with sincere emotions and never underestimates the audience's understanding.
She gave up opportunism, resolutely adopted the most primitive and arduous methods, and personally embarked on this shortcut to success, showing her sincerity and persistence.
In today's film and television industry, some actors' devotion to their roles is limited to clothing, and they don't even bother to change their worn-out clothes, and as for playing anti-Japanese heroes, even the most basic makeup and hair dyeing seem perfunctory.
In contrast, Jia Ling's determination to make 100 pounds for the new film is the image she has paid extremely hard, challenged her own limits, struggled on the verge of collapse day after day, and used her life to create an image.
When others are playing CP and false hype in movie marketing, Jia Ling has lit up the public eye with real weight loss results, what is wrong with her sincere efforts?
Deng Chao lost 40 pounds for "Shadow", and Wang Chuanjun went deep into the role of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" by more than 20 kilograms, and their professionalism was highly praised. However, when Jia Ling soared all the way to the success of her early works, she was criticized.
It seems that people have forgotten about the attitude of dedication, just because she easily touched the successful areas of the industry. Perhaps, some people were uneasy about Jia Ling's rapid rise, so they began to find fault.
But at the end of the day, it may stem from questioning the speed of her growth. Jia Ling's success is not entirely negative, but a different perspective of interpretation.
In other words, Jia Ling's high emotional intelligence has made her unique position in the entertainment industry. As a representative of affinity in the hearts of the public, no matter how handsome a star is, she seems to be slightly inferior in her interaction with Jia Ling, and fans are full of trust in her CP combination with any male star, because she is the reassuring existence without scandals.
However, behind this excessive sense of security, there is also a subtle contempt, and people sometimes see her plumpness as lacking in ** charm, believing that she will not become in the traditional sense"Opposite-sex attraction"Focus.
Although she has won the love of everyone, this kind of"Safety"The personality also limits the diversity of her feminine identity, making her lose the distinctness of her femininity to a certain extent.
The optimistic, cute, and empathetic image that was once shown in variety shows and sketches inadvertently became an invisible shackle that Jia Ling couldn't get rid of.
The real Jia Ling was not bound, but she chose a shell to show her unique charm to the world. Her comedic talent is not limited to stage skills, but also stems from her wit, high emotional intelligence and flexible responses, but also from her deep inner persistent pursuit of self-transcendence.
Jia Ling's mission in her heart is to be a source of happiness for people, to resolve embarrassment, and to surround laughter. When she was interviewed by Lu Yu after her success, she shared: "In the past, as long as there was subtle tension between teams, I would use the power of jokes to break the ice. ”
Hidden deep is a desire for recognition, and Jia Ling uses a strategy to please others to seek recognition"When I shine in the laughter of others, I am loved. "Although Jia Ling has been obese for many years, she has never really accepted herself, but struggles on the road of comedy with a hint of wry smile.
Now, her body has changed and become lighter, which not only means that she has new possibilities, but also broadens her acting world, and her acting career is more colorful.
Jia Ling's ** journey not only made her look new, but also quietly dissipated her former inferiority. She lifted the mask of deliberate amusement and went from a noisy focus to an inner source of strength.
Her eyes sparkled with tenacity and determination. This transformation is not simply due to weight loss, but rather a process of self-identity and value reshaping brought about by long-term self-discipline and successful conquest of a task that requires great sacrifice.
It allows Jia Ling to re-examine her self-worth and position herself in a new role in life.
When she encounters a cold spot in a social situation, she adjusts her strategy according to her mood, and if she is physically and mentally exhausted, she will choose to let the atmosphere flow at the right time.
In the movie,'Go with your heart'It is Le Ying's declaration of freedom, whether it is sharing an apple or facing an invitation to an old love, she chooses to be determined by her mood.
This kind'It depends on the mood'Her attitude to life symbolizes her shift from pandering to self-care, marking the beginning of her life to experience precious ease and ease.
From then on, she will follow her heart and no longer be overly nervous or mired in endless self-doubt. She cherishes herself even more and affectionately embraces every moment when her decision comes from her heart. "
The movie "Hot and Hot" deeply reveals the true meaning: cherishing oneself is its core message, and Jia Ling expresses this concept through her characters in a different way. Although this has shaken her personality, it has been a turning point in her quest for authenticity and freedom, and we are relieved and grateful. "
