Jia Ling has hit the screen again. We won’t say how good the movie itself is, but with the gimmick of Jia Ling losing 100 pounds and a passionate enough plot, it will definitely not be able to achieve high box office. According to Maoyan's predictions, Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy" may have a final box office revenue of as high as 3.7 billion.
Counting the previous "Hello, Li Huanying", Jia Ling is expected to win 9 billion in box office in just two movies. It is indeed very appropriate to release such a movie during the Spring Festival. It is passionate, inspirational, and has a gimmick such as weight loss, which arouses the empathy of ordinary people and ultimately achieves high box office.
Moments in the past two days have been basically flooded with this movie, and related topics are constantly being discussed online. Many people admire Jia Ling very much. But looking back, Jia Ling is not worthy of admiration by ordinary people.
Ordinary people admire Jia Ling because she can do many things that ordinary people cannot do. Many people have tried to lose weight in real life, but in the end 90% of them were disappointed.
Whether it is weight loss or fitness, most people give up halfway. It is precisely because most people have failed that everyone admires Jia Ling even more.
Ordinary people fail to lose weight. On the surface, it is due to lack of willpower, but the key is lack of motivation. Jia Ling's weight loss is different. She has enough motivation to lose weight, because if she succeeds in losing weight, it will be a huge gimmick and she will gain both fame and fortune.
It's very simple. If this movie didn't have the gimmick of Jia Ling losing 100 pounds, it might not even have a third of the box office. Jia Ling is not only the director and star of this movie, but also the investor, Dawan Entertainment, holds 65% of the shares.
divides accounts according to the box office. For a box office of 3.7 billion, investors can get about 1 billion. Basically, the budget for such a movie is small, and the investors make a lot of money.
If you lose weight, you can get tens of millions of benefits. Do you think you can stick to it? Not to mention tens of millions, if there are direct economic benefits of tens of thousands of dollars, it is estimated that most people can persist.
Not to mention the financial benefits, many people will do it even if they get great satisfaction in vanity. When ordinary people lose weight and keep fit, most of them can only please themselves or show off in their circle of friends. But the circle of ordinary people is so large that it can't satisfy much vanity.
But if you lose weight successfully, you can become a national idol, so do you have the motivation to lose weight? When Jia Ling debuted, she was not that heavy. She probably gained weight to match her previous position as a comedian.
It's just that Jia Ling is basically the ceiling in the comedian industry right now, and it will be difficult to continue to break through in the future. So she chose another path.
Zong Qinghou, the boss of Wahaha, once said that he has not yet retired in his 70s. In fact, there is nothing worthy of admiration because he loves and enjoys work, and he is a boss and he is different from an employee.
Wang Sicong also said, never believe those poisonous chicken soups. Nick Cheung also spent seven months building up his muscles while filming "Fighting", which can be said to have shocked the entertainment industry.
In fact, similar things abound in life, but if you are not a big star, no one will pay attention to you even if you do such a thing. Those sanitation workers who get up at 4 a.m. in the middle of the winter to work day after day, do they lose their perseverance to Jia Ling's weight loss of 100 pounds?
It's just that they don't have a stage, so no one appreciates it. In fact, Jia Ling is just doing her essential job as an actor. Back then, Jet Li and Jackie Chan suffered countless injuries all over their bodies in order to shoot those Kung Fu movies. These similar things are actually very common among the older generation of actors.
There was a movie in Hong Kong called "Dragon and Tiger Warriors". The so-called dragon and tiger martial arts masters are action stuntmen who help the protagonists complete difficult and dangerous actions, often at the risk of their lives, but who remembers these people?
Most people can only be the heroes in their own lives. Jia Ling is already at the peak of traffic, and her every move will attract huge attention.She naturally has the motivation to do it. Therefore, we ordinary people do not need to admire Jia Ling, nor should we be upset that we are not strong enough in willpower.
Wang Shi once said the truth, he never felt that self-discipline was the key to success.
