Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Spicy" is officially scheduled to be released on New Year's Day!
After three years, Jia Ling returned to her role as a director, directed and acted again, and once again entered the Spring Festival stalls.
"Hot and Spicy" is adapted from the Japanese high-scoring movie "One Hundred Dollar Love". Over 160,000 people rated it 8.4 on Douban. It has won the Best Film and Best Director awards at the 24th Japan Film Professional Awards, and more It ranks first among the top ten films of 2014.
In terms of subject matter, it is an inspirational film for women.
From the story point of view, it tells the story of a good-for-nothing girl’s counterattack. The protagonist of the story is thirty years old, but he is lazy and has nothing to do. He was once rejected by his younger sister, and even had conflicts. He finally ran away from home and started a counterattack journey. Although
is a remake, Jia Ling is very sincere and goes all out this time.
Judging from the lineup, they are all familiar celebrities. Jia Ling partners with Lei Jiayin, and her best friend Zhang Xiaofei, plus a bunch of comedians, such as Zhao Haiyan, Xu Juncong, Wei Xiang, Li Xueqin, Shen Chunyang, etc., as well as the more familiar Yang Zi, Sha Yi, Ma Li, Qiao Shan, etc.
No matter how you watch it, this kind of movie is very interesting.
For Jia Ling, this is her second self-directed and self-acted film. She previously became a blockbuster with "Hello, Li Huanying", and now she is entering the Spring Festival again. Although the pressure is doubled, she is also full of confidence.
Jia Ling also posted about some of the stories behind the film.
turned on the phone five times and lost 100 pounds. These words alone whetted the audience's appetite early and raised their expectations. As soon as
came up, Jia Ling said directly, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. I miss you so much."
Looking back on the past year, Jia Ling made very few public appearances. Her main events were participating in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, recording "Ace vs. Ace Season 7", and participating in the 36th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards. For the sake of the new movie, I did not participate in the subsequent recording of "Ace vs. Ace 8".
Indeed, Jia Ling has not met the public for a long time.
Jia Ling mentioned in the article that the film was shot five times and went through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The reason is self-evident. Jia Ling also publicly admitted for the first time that she lost 100 pounds for the new movie and trained to look like a boxer.
Although the relevant photos were leaked in advance and the materials were stolen, controversy arose. This time, with Jia Ling’s public admission, the audience once again looked at Jia Ling with admiration.
Losing 100 pounds of weight is challenging for anyone, not to mention that Jia Ling is losing weight while filming a movie, which is even more admirable.
Of course, Jia Ling is also very clear that this 100-pound weight loss alone is a major publicity point, but obviously she did not take the initiative to promote it. She waited until today to say it publicly, and did not release the relevant stills because she was "afraid of disturbing." "I want the surprise brought by the movie," and she also doesn't want the public to think that she simply made a movie about weight loss.
And what is this movie about?
Jia Ling said, "This movie has nothing to do with weight loss, or even boxing. It is a movie about how kind people find themselves and learn to love themselves."
Boxing is the carrier, and weight loss is the way. , what ultimately returns is human nature and growth.
Naturally, no matter which aspect you look at, this is inspirational and warm enough. Just from this introduction, it is moving and extremely powerful.
Jia Ling said at the end, "I tried my best to make this movie. I just hope that you can be proud of me when you see me again in the cinema. There is a past me in the movie, and there is also a new one." I hope you can like them both."
Jia Ling also described her state after filming as "like a tired warrior", but very handsome.
"Try your best" and naturally have no regrets.
For Jia Ling, this is another transformation. The physical aspect alone is enough to be admired. Such challenges and breakthroughs are already the best selling point.Whether it is the original film or the current localized adaptation, Jia Ling has truly given this film vitality and growth. It is not just a remake and adaptation, but a real interpretation of the film's purpose and core with practical actions.
After a year of filming this film, Jia Ling felt "so hungry and tired, it felt like a lifetime had passed."
's words are also heart-wrenching, and they give us more expectations and imagination for the film.
Of course, this is very similar to everything Jia Ling has experienced along the way.
Her life is inspiring enough.
started on the road of being a cross talk actor by accident and became a well-known cross talk sketch actor all the way. This process was ups and downs and difficult, but she managed to succeed and finally became a national-level comedy star. Then he resolutely transformed into a director and made a big splash with "Hello, Li Huanying".
This film is not only a hit in China, but has also been copyrighted by Sony Pictures, and Hollywood will also remake the film.
's second self-directed and self-acted work is now about to be released, which is another extremely subversive attempt.
Jia Ling used to be slender, sweet in temperament, pure and lovely, but later she lost her shape and changed her appearance. She was often ridiculed and humiliated, but she didn't care, but focused on herself and brought joy to the public. Laughter and great writing. In order to pursue the effect of the show, she has already ignored it and forgotten those external worries.
But this time she went through a lot of hardships to lose weight for the new film. You can imagine what she paid.
No matter what the result of this film is, for 41-year-old Jia Ling, she has already won. Her all-out attitude is beautiful and moving, and her new film with all her efforts will also be dazzling!
