The box office of "Hot and Spicy" in its first week of release exceeded 2.4 billion, making Jia Ling the highest-grossing female director in China.
The success of "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot and Spicy" has put her in a position of great concern, and has even become a symbol, synonymous with female self-improvement, self-love and self-reliance.
html In the early morning of February 16, Jia Ling, who had finished her road show, posted a long post to share her feelings. She once again emphasized that "Hot and Spicy" is not a weight-loss movie and has nothing to do with boxing. At the end of the post, she reminded netizens that in 2024, remember to love yourself.Everything is very inspiring and heartwarming. Jia Ling lost 100 pounds and made a movie. She devoted her efforts and sincerity to "Hot and Spicy", and she got the rewards she deserved after it was released. There is no suspense that "Hot and Spicy" will become the box office champion during the Spring Festival, and in the end The box office is expected to exceed 4.3 billion, and the split box office will reach 1.5 billion by then. The huge profit brought by the movie will exceed 1 billion. Jia Ling deserves all of this.
But as the saying goes, there are many celebrities, and Jia Ling, who speaks for women, has achieved such great success, which has also made many netizens, especially male netizens, look down upon her. Many criticized the movie, and some criticized Jia Ling's poor directorship. Quite a bit, this long article by Jia Ling is actually quite heart-warming, calling on everyone to love themselves. After all, just like the attitude conveyed in the movie, only by loving yourself and working hard to cheer yourself up will you be recognized and respected by the outside world. , only on this basis can we have a chance to get love. However, her actual actions have resulted in a large number of bizarre comments, some of which are even outrageous.
For example, a netizen posted a post with the title "Jia Ling has lost weight and become more beautiful, can she get married and have children?" The discussion started was "The two movies combined are almost 10 billion. Stop making movies. What do you need so much money for? With Jia Ling’s status in the domestic film industry, can’t you just pick and choose the young meat you like?”
Good guy, this piece of content directly reduces Jia Ling’s movie-making behavior to just for money. And obliterated her love for movies and pursuit of art. That's not all. The following sentence is even more disrespectful. Why does Jia Ling, who has never had any negative news, choose to pick young meat at random? Is this a KTV selection of young masters? This is typical male Ning and a great disrespect for Jia Ling.
Some netizens commented, "Jia Ling is 43 years old this year, which is really not young for a woman. She can still make movies as a heroine at this age. How can she make movies after she is 50 years old? She will no longer be inspirational and sensational. Realistically, even if she can film, she still needs to be a co-star, so at her age, she can film as much as she can while the popularity is there and earn as much as she can."
Someone responded to this content by saying that Jia Ling has a net worth of over one billion. You can't spend it all in this lifetime, but if you don't give birth to a child in the next few years, it will be completely gone. He also used the expression "after 50, your beauty will fade with old age" and said that only getting married and having children can be considered a complete life. This is also typical of men. It seems that the standard of success for women is whether they have children, and the correct ultimate goal is to get married and have children.
Another comment speculated that Jia Ling has a husband and children, but "the possibility is relatively small". At the same time, he belittled Jia Ling's directing ability, thinking that there is a big gap between her and Zhang Yimou. In the end, it fell to Jia Ling that she should hurry up to have children and her childbearing age. It will be over soon.
Some netizens objected to this view, believing that getting married and having children and a happy life are two different things. However, some netizens countered that "there are many people who have a happy life but don't have children."
Another netizen who was the most damaging said the words "all menopause".
Let’s look at a comment that is even more subversive: “According to our elders, not only do you have to have a child, but you also have to have a boy; otherwise you make so much money and so many assets, and you don’t have any descendants to whom will you leave it to? You can't give it to your daughter and son-in-law. Once you get married, you won't be your own people."What age are we in? I'm shocked to still see such patriarchal rhetoric. Is it because Jia Ling is so successful that she has attracted so many men?
And the most disgusting comment makes people want to take action. This A netizen quoted Le Ying and Hao Kun's "first time" lines in the movie, speculating that this was Jia Ling's implicit projection of herself, "Is it possible that this is the first time for me. "Such speculation is really disrespectful.
In fact, Jia Ling may have seen through this public opinion environment, so she wrote in the article, "I once imagined who would come to save me in seven-color clouds. After a long time I finally waited for him and realized there was a mirror in front of me. The only one who can save me is myself. "This view is also implemented in the movie. In "Hot and Spicy", Le Ying relied entirely on her own efforts to get into the ring and win. In the process, she encountered backstabbing by her relatives, cheating on her boyfriend, and betrayal by her best friend. , the conspiracy of distant relatives, and the lack of appreciation for Hao Kun, the person who made her think that she was in love. Jia Ling wants to change the inequality between men and women in the current patriarchal society through movies, but there is a long way to go. These disgusting comments make her People think it is too difficult. Although the comments may have indeed poked her weakness, I still hope that Jia Ling will not be discouraged and continue to look forward to the new film she has already filmed part of.
