After "Hello, Li Huanying" achieved very dazzling box office and word-of-mouth results, and was also filmed into an overseas version, Jia Ling, whose directing ability is widely recognized by the industry, is once again at the forefront, and will be brought to everyone during this year's Spring Festival. Come to the new work "Hot and Hot"!
Compared to the film, which was officially announced on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Ling, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the trailer and said she had lost 100 pounds for her character, which aroused heated discussions among netizens! In the birthday celebration video sent by Zhang Xiaofei, we can also see that Jia Ling is already very thin, which is almost the same as when she first debuted!
Obviously, Jia Ling, who has shouted the slogan "lose weight" countless times, really fulfilled her promise this time, and she really put in absolute efforts for the work and the role! But Jia Ling is working hard, but the box office prospects of her new work "Hot and Spicy" are still not optimistic!
First of all, compared to "Hello, Li Huanying", in addition to comedy, it also has strong family elements and expresses Jia Ling's deep feelings for her mother. "Hot and Spicy" is a remake of "One Hundred Dollar Love", It is a purely commercial film that entertains the audience.
Without the so-called emotional extra points, the main line is the story of how the heroine inspired to lose weight and become a female boxer. Whether the laughter in it can support the entire film and make the film sufficiently competitive is obviously There is so much uncertainty!
Furthermore, Jia Ling's first directed film "Hello, Li Huanying" can sweep the box office of nearly 5.3 billion. In addition to the excellent quality of the script and film, the release schedule environment is also relatively loose. But during the Spring Festival in 2024, Jia Ling will undoubtedly face greater pressure!
As of press time, in addition to "Hot and Spicy", there are 4 more films scheduled for the New Year's Day! In addition to "The Time and Space Reversal of Bears" is a cartoon and there are track conflicts, there are also three films "Flying Life 2", "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Let's Shake the Sun Together" that became popular before they were broadcast. The popularity and prospects are not inferior to "Hot and Spicy"!
Among them, "Flying Life" directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng, Yin Zheng, etc. not only retains the sophisticated production of the previous work, but the racing theme is also very attractive, and the lineup has also been comprehensively upgraded. With the participation of popular actors such as Fan Chengcheng, Sun Yizhou, Wei Xiang, Jia Bing, Zheng Kai and Yu Shi, the strength and competitiveness of the entire film is undoubtedly stronger.
Furthermore, Ning Hao’s new work "Mr. Red Carpet", which is adapted from real events, not only directly exposes various unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, but also has extremely high discussion value. And with dozens of leading actors including Andy Lau, Lin Xilei, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Miriam Yeung, Zhang Zixian, Sun Yang and other talented actors, the entire film can be said to have both flow and quality. It is already the most promising work during the Spring Festival.
Moreover, in addition to the above four works that have confirmed schedules, Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" and "Nezha 2" are also likely to be released during the Spring Festival. By then, the entire Spring Festival schedule will undoubtedly be filled with big-production, big-IP movies.
In contrast, although Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy" also has the support of comedy and traffic stars such as Lei Jiayin, Zhang Xiaofei, Yang Zi, Sha Yi, Ma Li, Wei Xiang, etc., compared with other movies of the same period, , the advantages or competitiveness are not obvious.
Of course, with Jia Ling's audience popularity and the word-of-mouth blessing of "Hello, Li Huanying", "Hot and Spicy" still has a potential box office base. But if it is unable to break out of the industry with its plot and production in the early stages of its release, then "Hot" may not be able to withstand the competitive pressure of many blockbusters!
Judging from the current popularity, Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy" has the potential to become a dark horse during the Spring Festival. After all, the comedy tone of the work is still very consistent with the holiday atmosphere. But it may be extremely difficult to reach the box office and heights of "Hello, Li Huanying"!
