Jia Ling directed and starred in the movie " hot ", which has been in theaters for 4 days, and the box office has exceeded 1.6 billion. Based on the calculation of 400 million per day, during the 8-day Spring Festival period, the box office of "Hot and Spicy" can reach 3.2 billion! This is really incredible.
It’s also about boxing. Last summer’s “Octagonal Cage ” directed and starred by Wang Baoqiang had a total box office revenue of 2.207 billion. It is estimated that in two days, "Hot and Furious" may surpass "The Octagon" at the box office.
Why is Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" so hot?
is also about boxing. In terms of plot, connotation, depth and reality, what are the differences between "Hot and Furious" and "In the Octagon".
It is true that many viewers went to see "Hot and Spicy" just to see if Jia Ling really lost 100 pounds. In addition to these, "Hot and Spicy" actually surpasses "The Octagon" in terms of connotation, depth and reality.
In "The Octagonal Cage", Xiang Tenghui brought those orphans from deep in the mountains to the boxing ring. After hard training and cruel fighting, some of these orphans achieved success and harvest in the boxing ring. In exchange for flowers, honor and money, that is, success in the popular sense.
"In the Octagon" is actually an inspirational film in the traditional sense. Together with these orphans, Xiang Tenghui achieved self-realization through victory in the boxing ring. Xiang Tenghui and these orphans have no other choice but to fight and win.
Xiang Tenghui brought these children out of the mountains, and while helping them move towards the bigger world, he also put them into a boxing ring and into a cage of victory, honor and money.
Xiang Tenghui and these children have achieved self-realization, but they have not achieved self-transcendence. These kids can only keep playing on the field.
In a sense, Xiang Tenghui did take advantage of these children.
"Hot and Spicy" is not an inspirational film. Leying's motivation for boxing was to win once.
As for the result, she still lost. Although she lost on the field, Le Ying still thought she had won. Because what Leying really wants to win is actually her own heart. Although she lost the
competition, Leying finally defeated herself, got rid of her inner enemies, and achieved self-transcendence.
Through the boxing match, the orphans in "The Octagon Cage" gained flowers, honors and money. What Le Ying in "Hot and Hot" gained was a sublimation of her spiritual realm.
The two movies are different in terms of connotation, depth and reality. "Hot" is higher than "In the Octagon".
Whether it is a movie or a TV series, it should always tell the audience something and bring some enlightenment to the audience. If you spend money to see a movie just for the fun, you might as well not go see it.
Jia Ling was able to lose 100 pounds in order to film "Hot and Spicy". This fact in itself is very meaningful. To lose 100 pounds, you need to overcome many difficulties, and you need to overcome and surpass many internal and external temptations, such as delicious food and so on.
From another perspective, "Hot and Spicy" can also be called "Jia Ling's Weight Loss Diary". After the release of "Hot and Spicy", Jia Ling can make another film about her weight loss, recording in detail her weight loss process and the challenges she encountered during the weight loss process.
If "Jia Ling's Weight Loss" is released, it may be even hotter than "Hot".
What inspiration can "Hot and Spicy" bring to the audience? There are at least the following seven points:
First: Everyone has great potential. As long as you take action and persevere, many goals can be achieved.
Second: When others deliberately treat you well, think about what they want from you. Take a look at what Doudou did and said to Leying in the video.
Third: The weaker a person is, the more others will bully you. This is true even among sisters, let alone others.
Fourth: Don’t expect anything from anyone. Expect them to sympathize with you and take care of you. Instead, they will only further exploit you and hurt you. The scumbag Hao Kun started to treat Le Ying like this.
Fifth: Don’t be selfish or self-centered, but live for yourself, not for others. Self-centered people always try to kidnap and control others. If they don't control and kidnap others, they can't be kidnapped by others.
Sixth: Only by spiritually transcending victory and defeat can we truly win.
Seventh: Don’t be afraid of being abandoned by others. As long as you don’t abandon yourself, your soul will be free. You are no longer passively waiting for others to choose you. Instead, you can choose others. Le Ying at the end of "Hot and Hot" was already able to do it.
In addition to the above, "Hot and Spicy" also has many realistic inspirations. How much of this kind of revelation did "The Octagonal Cage" give? "Hot Hot" became popular because of its own value.
