Hello friends of Tencent News, on the occasion of International Women's Day, this festival exclusive to female compatriots, specially planned "Women Different", I would like to talk to you about the villain female characters in the movie "Hot and Hot", talk about their other side, and the important role they play in shaping the protagonist Le Ying and expressing the theme of the film.
Since the release of the movie "Hot and Hot", the most discussed by everyone is naturally the protagonist of the film, Le Ying played by Jia Ling. and Le Dan played by Zhang Xiaofei, Doudou played by Yang Zi, and Lily played by Li Xueqin were scolded by the audience because they bullied and hurt Le Ying in the film. But are these "negative" female characters in "Hot and Hot" really bad guys who are completely unworthy of sympathy?
01 Le Dan Le Dan, who "shamelessly" occupied his sister's house, and Le Ying are sisters of the same mother. In the film, the relationship between Le Dan and Le Ying can be described as "incompatible". After Le Dan divorced, he took his daughter back to his parents' house, and hated and despised his sister Le Ying, who lay flat at home every day, waited for death and didn't do any work. The most indignant point for the audience is that Le Dan does not know how to be grateful, indifferent and selfish, ruthless and unjust.
For the sake of her daughter's schooling, Le Dan wanted Le Ying to leave their grandmother alone in Le Ying's house and transfer it to her name, Le Ying just sarcastically said two sentences to her at first, Le Dan sneered at each other, the sisters quarreled, Le Ying flipped the table in a fit of anger, so Le Dan was furious and fought at Le Ying. But afterwards, Le Ying still signed the transfer agreement, and after Le Dan saw her sister's signature, she just said coldly, "You should have signed it a long time ago", and did not show the slightest gratitude to her sister, let alone say thank you.
These performances of Le Dan made the audience feel that Le Dan was too ruthless and selfish to his sister. Indeed, Le Dan's attitude towards her sister is indeed very bad, and from her words, deeds and expressions, you can also see her contempt and contempt for her sister. However, although Le Dan has a poisonous tongue, Le Ying is not completely innocent. First of all, Le Dan sarcastically mocked his sister at the beginning, and the only exercise every day is to turn over, but he was not wrong. Think about it, after Le Ying graduated from college, she worked for a short period of time and began to live in a dead house. Once this house is lying flat, it will be 10 years! In 10 years, Le Ying has been lazy from the age of 22 to the age of 32, the year when the Chinese think it is time to start a family.
Le Ying is healthy and young, but she doesn't do any work, she doesn't look for a job, she doesn't even see her go downstairs to help once, even the small supermarket opened by her parents at home. Even the riding brother who cheated money knew that the dead house sister Le Ying. She knew all day that she was sleeping in her bedroom, and she didn't even bother to get up and get the remote control, but used her feet to reach it. The sanitation and food waste in the house were not cleaned up, and each bottle of Coke was only half drunk and wasted, and the cigarette butts were thrown into the Coke bottles, so that when her mother made Coke chicken wings, she poured the cigarette butts into the pot and blinded the pot of chicken wings.
There is no explanation in the film that when Le Ying went to find a job after graduating from college, she encountered some setbacks and injuries, so that she has been lying flat for 10 years. But looking at Le Ying's emotions, the setbacks she suffered should also be those setbacks that young people are used to, and they are not a terrible injury. With Le Ying's state of life, shouldn't she be scolded? If I had a sister like Le Ying, I would definitely scold her and accuse her of being cheeky and gnawing at home. It can be seen from the mother's attitude towards Le Ying and Le Dan that the mother is very fond of her two daughters. Le Ying didn't do any work, stood on the stairs and asked, what are you going to eat tonight, and her mother immediately said, eat pork ribs tonight. Le Dan wanted Le Ying to transfer the house to her, and asked her mother to help, so her mother pulled Le Ying and said a lot of good things for Le Dan. For a mother, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and the mother hopes that both daughters will be well. But it is obvious that Le Ying's mother has failed in the education of her two daughters.
The eldest died in the house and didn't work, the second child cheated in marriage, had a child with his lover, and was forced to divorce, went out of the house, and couldn't get child support from his ex-husband and the mistress, so he had to take the child back to his parents' house to eat and live. In fact, Le Ying and Sister Le Dan are half a catty, no one should look down on anyone, and no one should say that anyone is bad. Although the sisters quarreled and scolded each other, and even fought, Le Ying finally transferred the house to her sister. In the end, when Le Ying went to participate in the boxing match, Le Dan also went to the scene to cheer for her sister, although in the end, she saw that her sister was beaten and her nose was blue and her face was swollen, but she still did not stop the game, Le Dan was so angry that she scolded "stupid or not", and turned around and left without watching the game.
In fact, the relationship between Le Ying's family shown in "Hot and Hot" is a typical Chinese-style family relationship. In traditional Chinese family relationships, parents and children do not express love and gratitude to each other, and the same is true between siblings. If a friend or colleague helps us, we feel very grateful, it is a surprise, and we will definitely say thank you. But the help of relatives, in our habitual traditional thinking, will feel that it is deserved, and there is no need to thank it at all.
Le Dan and Le Ying can't get used to each other, and they speak ill of each other, can you conclude that there is no family affection between them? Of course there is. Le Ying transferred the house to her sister, and many people attributed it to Le Ying's pleasing personality, but in fact, I think it was out of Le Ying's affection for her sister and out of her kindness. 02 In order to complete her work tasks, Doudou, a "scheming girl" who used her cousin in exchange for a job opportunity, ran to Le Ying's house and asked her aunt to persuade her cousin Le Ying to help her show on her show. And without Le Ying herself knowing, she took the photojournalist to her home and was caught off guard to interview her cousin. Le Ying was not happy at the time, stood up and left, saying that I didn't want to record. As a result, Le Dan broke out all of a sudden, scolding her sister for not actively looking for a job and messing around at home all day long. Le Ying was also angry, scolded "stupid", and walked away.
But this clip of the sisters' quarrel was cleverly edited by Doudou, Le Ying didn't want to be interviewed and scolded her mother's **, and made it public in the show**. When Le Ying was on the show, Doudou had been backstage, teaching Le Ying to say some words that Le Ying didn't want to say, but could obviously cause controversy and attract attention, and finally made Le Ying pretend to faint in order to achieve the best program effect. In fact, Le Ying resolutely didn't plan to be on the show, why did she finally agree to Doudou again? One is because Doudou helped her. At that time, Le Ying was not beaten by her because the owner of the barbecue restaurant harassed her, and went to the police station, it was Doudou who went to pick her up.
The second reason is because Le Ying saw that it was not easy for Doudou to work hard alone. Because Doudou was going to ride an electric car, she casually gave the umbrella to Le Ying, and it was this unintentional act of kindness that warmed Le Ying's heart, who lacked care in her heart. Immediately afterwards, Le Ying saw that Doudou's electric car was out of power, she hurriedly charged the electric car in the leaky canopy, and covered the charger with a hat.
However, compared to Le Dan (Le Dan and Le Ying are sisters after all), some of Doudou's behaviors really can't be washed. We can sympathize with the difficulties of Doudou's workplace and the hardships of working alone, but we can't forgive Doudou for saying disdainfully to his colleagues after using his cousin, "What a relative, just like her, can I find her if I don't have a point!" ”
Doudou is a girl like this, of course you can't say that she is a bad person, in fact, on the premise of not hurting herself, especially on the premise of being useful to herself, she can also help you a little when you need it, however, the premise for her to do all this is first of all "self-interest".
People like Doudou, in fact, are also very common in life, the so-called use of people facing forward instead of people facing backwards, one set in front of one behind the other, is talking about this kind of hypocritical, shrewd, selfish, and cold people.
03 Lily, who secretly snatched Le Ying's boyfriend and asked Le Ying to be her bridesmaid Actually, when Le Ying went to meet her best friend and boyfriend, I was taken aback. I thought that Le Ying had been at home for 10 years, and she didn't have any friends, let alone a boyfriend. The key is, how can Le Ying, who is lying at home all day, have the time and opportunity to go out and have a boyfriend? Anyway, the plot needs it, so Le Ying has a boyfriend and best friend. Moreover, this best friend Lily also intervened in their relationship, and was also pregnant with the child of Le Ying's boyfriend Shanzi.
Lily faced her only best friend Le Ying, and she was not without guilt in her heart, but more about how to persuade Le Ying to be her bridesmaid. Because, everyone knows that Le Ying and Shanzi are lovers, if Le Ying doesn't go to their wedding, then everyone will know that she is a junior. backstabbed you, and asked you to help prove that she didn't backstab, in terms of selfishness and cheekiness, the women in "Hot and Hot", Lily should be the first.
But in fact, Lily is just a tool man in the film, and she, like Le Dan and Doudou, is a "tool man" who abandons her old self and gets a new life after Le Ying learns from her pain. It was precisely because of their harm to Le Ying that Le Ying finally woke up and finally began to change herself. 04 Live yourself, love yourself well, and start a hot and hot life Seriously, the movie "Hot and Hot" has some advantages and many disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that the character design and behavioral motivation in it are not full, three-dimensional, and relatively flat, and the behavior of each character does not give reasonable logic and antecedent support. When we were just interested in a character and wanted to ** their motivation for behavior, the plot immediately turned to performing sketches and jokes, so the overall story lacked logic, floated on the surface, seemed very fragmented, and lacked a tight, orderly, and reasonable chain.
From "Hello, Li Huanying" to "Hot and Hot", it can be seen that Jia Ling, as a director, has indeed improved. However, how to tell a story reasonably and fluently, and how to shape characters in three dimensions, Jia Ling is actually still a big gap compared with mature film directors. But why do so many female viewers still like this film? It is because of Jia Ling's sincerity and enthusiasm.
Why did Jia Ling shoot "Hot and Hot"? Because she wants to change herself, wants to be beautiful, wants to change her way of life, and she wants to pass on her concept and passion for life to more female friends.
42-year-old Jia Ling knows that her youth is no longer and her years are short, and she wants to live in the years to come, no longer to please others, but to really live to please herself. Jia Ling not only thinks and does this way herself, but she also wants to tell everyone through the movie and this story that is similar to her spiritual autobiography that there is only one life, and you must love yourself and love life well.
It is Jia Ling's hard work that runs through the movie to reality, the ruthlessness and passion for herself, which infects everyone and inspires everyone, so everyone likes this movie "Hot and Hot", which has many shortcomings, but reveals sincerity, and likes it even more, and lost 100 pounds while making a movie, and Jia Ling, who is more confident and sassy.
Every day, we must love ourselves, be confident, happy, positive, do not admit defeat, bravely pursue, and belong to our own "hot and hot" beautiful life.
