On January 11, the hot-blooded sports movie "Hot and Spicy" directed by Jia Ling was officially announced and the "Coming Soon" poster was released! Film cast: Jia Ling, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Xiaofei, Zhao Haiyan, Zhang Qi, Xu Juncong, Bu Yu, Zhu Tianfu, Liu Honglu, starring Yang Zi, Sha Yi, Wei Xiang, Li Xueqin, Shen Chunyang, Shen Tao, Ma Li, Qiao Shan.
"Hot and Spicy" is a remake of the Japanese high-scoring movie "100 Yuan Love" (directed by Takema Haru, starring Sakura Ando). Main story: Du Leying, played by Jia Ling, does not seek changes in her life. She stays at her parents' home every day and has conflicts with her sister, so she leaves home to seek an independent life. After experiencing various setbacks and injuries, she gradually realized that the sport of boxing seemed to be able to bring changes to her life.
Previous stills about Jia Ling's weight loss success "sneaked away" and triggered heated discussions on the Internet! Jia Ling's image in the film has changed a lot, and she is said to have lost 100 pounds!
Today, Jia Ling also officially responded to "lose 100 pounds". She wrote: I haven’t seen you for more than a year and I miss you so much. During the more than a year since I disappeared, I made a movie called "Hot and Hot." I shot this movie for a whole year, covering four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I started filming five times (one more time because I was too tired). I also successfully lost 100 pounds and became like a boxer. If you see me during a road show, if you have the chance, can you go on stage and give me a hug? Although I may feel a little "hard" when you hug me now, I really miss you! See you on the first day of the new year!
It is worth mentioning that "Hello, Li Huanying", the first work directed by Jia Ling, is the strongest dark horse in the 2021 Spring Festival, earning a super high box office of 5.413 billion, becoming the box office champion of comedy films in Chinese film history. The reputation is also good, with a Douban score of 7.7 and more than 1.4 million people rating it. The film also received 122 milestone achievements and 21 film awards and nominations. At the same time, "Hello, Li Huanying" has also been recognized by Hollywood filmmakers. Sony Pictures has won the remake rights and plans to make an English version of the film.
"Hot" is the second film directed by Jia Ling. Can it continue to create box office miracles? Objectively speaking, it is very difficult! First of all, if you remake a high-scoring work, comparisons are unavoidable. If the reputation is slightly worse, the audience will be turned away! In addition, many domestic films will be released during the Spring Festival this year! Not only is "Mr. Red Carpet" directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau; there is also "Flying Life 2" directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng; "Bear Infested: Reverse Time and Space" and "Let's Shake the Sun Together" are also scheduled to be released on New Year's Day . Later, there may be Zhang Yimou's new film "Article 20" and other works. The competition is fierce!
I hope that "Hot and Spicy" can have a good box office performance in the Spring Festival "Melee"!
