In five days, the box office of "hothot" has exceeded 1.9 billion.
And as eye-catching as the box office is the film's director and starring, Jia Ling. T
cough, announce that Jia Ling himself who returned to the public vision!
To the naked eye, "losing half of Jia Ling" is more shocking than watching it on the big screen.
Undoubtedly, "Hot and Spicy" has become one of the most popular movies during the Spring Festival.
However, if today's gratifying results are projected onto Jia Ling, it will inevitably cause confusion.
Jia Ling, a director who became a monk halfway, has achieved good results in two consecutive works. This contrast aroused Piao's curiosity. What secrets does she hold on the path of film creation?
might as well take advantage of the current popularity of "Hot and Spicy" to have a chat.
To talk about Jia Ling’s current creative treasure, we have to go back to this movie first.
recalled that before the movie was released, there were many doubts about the film on the Internet.
From the plot point of view, this is the story of a girl who was abandoned by society and rediscovered herself through boxing.
The term "counterattack" has also become a rough assumption for this movie by quite a few people.
However, when I officially met Du Leying in the theater, this doubt disappeared instantly.
I originally had high expectations for "Hot and Spicy", but I didn't expect that it still gave me results that exceeded my expectations.
First of all, there is no trace of the counterattack narrative in traditional "sports inspirational films" here. Even at the end, Le Ying, played by Jia Ling, was a "less successful" adult by universal standards.
For her, boxing is not a turning point or salvation in life, nor is it the luxury ship that a person living on a deserted island will finally wait for.
Rather, boxing is more like a boat to Du Leying.
At this moment, she has the power to continue to cross the ocean, helping her to become more and more open in life.
But it was always herself that made the boat move.
To talk about this surprise in detail, we have to focus on the plot itself.
Leying is really a wonderful person.
You could say she was sad, but she was not so sad that she could just lie down and be laughed at. Instead, she always felt a little unwilling to be manipulated. T
Farly cousin Dou Doudou (played by Yang Zi ) on a television station, looking for a guest for a live show who helped people find a job, so she thought of her leisure cousin.
But under the humiliation of the camera, the seemingly cowardly Le Ying stopped recording the video, turned around, left the whole room and ran away.
She is protecting her self-esteem.
At the dinner table, she quarreled with her divorced sister Le Dan (played by Zhang Xiaofei ), who was accused of being a worm at home. She immediately countered her sister's accusation of having an affair during marriage.
As a result, the two sisters fought fiercely on the spot.
She is pretending to be fierce.
But a person who is so sensitive and easily aroused to have a protective mechanism is often more fragile inside.
Du Leying stayed at home for ten years after graduation, suffering all the glares and bullying. The more the outside world put pressure on her, the more afraid she became of going out to the outside world.
In this hopeless situation, she didn't know how to continue, and her life seemed to be in ruins with no end in sight.
Because of this, although she performed several "ruthless acts" at the beginning, Le Ying's soul is extremely gentle and weak.
Although she was obviously angry at her boyfriend and best friend for betraying her, she still forced herself to be the bridesmaid for them. T
obviously does not want to participate in the show's self -exposure scar, and it is also subject to malicious editing and the insulting on -site judges, but in the end, it was arranged from the cousin.
This is the first half of Le Ling's life, and it also shows the cruelest and truest side of the people-pleasing personality.
sells his dignity just to win others' approval of him.
However, this kind of self-consumable contribution will eventually run out.
The last straw for Le Ying was the boxing coach she regarded as her life-saving straw, Hao Kun.
She and Hao Kun met when they were in poverty. Le Ying drained herself to provide material foundation, and Hao Kun casually threw some emotional value to her, and the two settled down together.
But when she heard Haokun trying to clarify to others in private that there was no relationship between the two, Le Ying was heartbroken.
It turns out that God not only did not treat her favorably, but also stepped her into deeper soil.
However, the expected rebound did not come as expected.
She walked into the gym and still timidly stated her request, wanting to play in the competition.
And this cautiousness happens to be an expression that Piao prefers and is more in line with the character's temperament.
Reversal in life does not have so much sense of ceremony. It requires a passionate and grand speech, or some specific form and node. The reversal of
should be a steady stream of persistence and progress.
Everyone has been pouring cold water on Leying from the moment she stood on the boxing ring. It seems that she will never be affected by others again.
She is like the loneliest but full of faith warrior on the battlefield. Even if she is beaten with blood by the opponent, she will continue to pursue her goal.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is almost a stupid masochistic behavior.
has no bonuses, no honors, and it is almost impossible to get recognition, leaving only bruises all over the body.
Do you remember the moment when Du Leying collapsed when she failed to commit suicide?
She looked at her fat body in the mirror and cried bitterly: No wounds at all? !
This line shocked me in my seat and was at a loss.
Yes, this is the true despair of a person.
As a person who was ravaged to the point of losing her will to live, she did not even have any traces to prove the existence of these oppressions.
So this kind of "self-abuse" like Nezha cutting flesh became the best way for her to find traces of her existence.
She wants to experience a different life, to experience the blows of life on her, instead of numbly avoiding them.
She faced it head on because she wanted to win once.
And this, to some extent, reflects Jia Ling in reality.
She clearly had many ways to fulfill this role, but she chose the most "clumsy" one to experience the weight of life with the character.Spend a year learning boxing from 0 to 1, first gain weight and then lose weight and gain muscle. , just to fit the plot setting.
is willing to spend a whole year to do something with an unknown outcome. It is an amazing act of willfulness for both the actor and the character.
As a result, the virtual and the real echoed, and clumsiness turned into skill.
Le Ying needs to shake her fist at the void, get rid of her uneasiness and cowardice, and relearn how to face the twists and turns of fate.
And Jia Ling also has to experience changes with the character, burning herself to achieve the character and let the script fall to the ground.
This is not a profound skill, but it will always bless people: the creator’s sincerity and lack of deception.
Unlike other actors who are still playing characters, Jia Ling simply handed herself over to Le Ying. There is such a scene in the movie
.
When Dad saw the boxer Le Ying again, Le Ying asked a question to the effect: You have two apples, one big and one small, and your friend asks for them, which one do you give?
’s original answer to this question was, yes.
This symbolizes her bottomless and giving style of doing things during the age of people-pleasing personality.
But then she smiled and gave another answer: It depends on my mood. who.
It is not difficult to see that she is braver and calmer now.
She is not afraid to challenge her new limits, and she is no longer afraid of being denied and criticized.
By playing Le Ying, Jia Ling also has the opportunity to love herself again. I'm a great person
This is a change in the way we look at the world brought about by a different mentality. Because
has accumulated the power of self-confidence in the process of hard work, he understands that applying other people's standards to oneself is being demanding. After the movie ended, two Easter eggs were released, which made Piao feel quite emotional.
I’m so hungry at 3 o’clock in the morning. I’m so tired, mom. Is this hell? I want to eat matcha cake and chicken feet.
is constantly changing. The digital record shows that she has become better and stronger, which is essentially a process of breaking and rebuilding. In the second Easter egg of
, she picked up the paintbrush again. T
-Why does Sister Ling learn to paint?
-Nothing, I just want to be a better version of myself. It turned out that no one could understand her storyboard manuscript when filming "Li Huanying", so she had been secretly competing.
I recall that she went from Xiangyang, Hubei to Beijing to study cross talk, and then to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Her strings were tight all the way. T
was filming "Li Huanying" for a while, because of self -doubt, she often relied on eating to relieve anxiety.

Behind these behaviors, the essence is still a lack of security and self-confidence.
But now, they are no longer like this.
As I said before, boxing is neither salvation nor a way out for Le Ying. She had seen with her own eyes that the coach who yelled at her as if he was authoritative was secretly just a "shady" owner of a broken gym, while male players like Hao Kun, who had some level of skill, had to be laid off to do manual labor when they reached their age.
I believe that she selfishly does not regard boxing as everything for the rest of her life.
But do you still remember the scene where she greeted her past self in the mirror before walking to the ring?
She is no longer worried or timid, and she accepts herself from the bottom of her heart. They do not need anything to allow themselves to spend the rest of their lives, but will stride out confidently for the rest of their lives.
Jia Ling and Le Ying form two sides of one body, and have become a force that transcends the movie itself, allowing "Hot and Spicy" to bring a unique experience to the audience.
With the movie box office rising steadily, news about Jia Ling has also been blowing out in the past two days. One of the t
has attracted my special attention -
Hollywood Sony Films announced that it has bought the global distribution right of "Hot and Spicy", which is also a domestic film released by Sony Films again in the world.
Similar affirmation also happened in her first movie. Just last October, Sony Pictures announced that it had won the remake rights of "Hello, Li Huanying", and Jia Ling became the producer of this version. I think behind all these honors, there are two words that cannot be separated: sincerity.
Ever since the project of "Hello, Li Huanying" was launched, there have been many online questions about her professional ability as a director. But due to her full emotional expression, Jia Ling successfully dispelled the audience's doubts. She once said in an interview that what her mother wanted most when she was alive was a green fur coat. T
then did not help her mother's wish at that time. Many years later, she was arranged in the movie.

Buy a TV, when everyone watched the TV, only Li Huanying looked at her daughter Jia Xiaoling.
and the last scene, the license plate of the convertible arranged by Jia Ling is hy1012, which is the anniversary of Li Huanying's death.

Three years later, small details that are similar to heartbreaking appeared again.
The embroidery place is right near the heart. A puppy can also be seen in an official release.
Whenever Jia Ling is on the verge of collapse after practicing, this puppy will always come to her as soon as possible, becoming Jia Ling’s best placebo.
And this puppy was adopted by her while filming "Li Huanying".
took the puppy he picked up on the set when he was filming his mother to reinvent himself. As time goes by, it seems that his mother is accompanying him step by step towards new life.
In the end, this movie also transcended personal experiences and encounters, and resonated with many similar ordinary people.
Hence, what Jia Ling said during the road show: This movie is also dedicated to the audience.
Her rich emotional expressions clearly show her sincerity and dedication to her works. Each of her creations is more like handing over a part of herself to a character than work.
first dedicated his most authentic thoughts to his mother and created Li Huanying. T
and through Le Ying's transformation, everyone saw what she said at the beginning, "Hello, Li Huanying" box office burst, she was thinner, not a word.
For her works, she is fully devoted and completely reveals herself.
This attitude is also strength itself.
When a person can surrender himself to the outside world so sincerely, and at the same time stick to his own heart and express his control over life with the phrase "depending on his mood", this is the most profound transformation.
The English translation of "Hot and Spicy" is yolo, you only live once.
You only live once.
This is the most simple truth, but there are still many people who dare not face it and live a hot life.
Jia Ling doesn’t like to talk about big things. She just did a very cruel thing: demonstrated it in person.
As a result, her success no longer seems like an accident.
