I never expected that the current box office of "Hot and Spicy" has exceeded 2.5 billion yuan.
As the director and actor of the movie, Jia Ling can be said to have fought a good fight.
The preparation process for this movie can be said to be full of twists and turns. Before Jia Ling appeared in front of the audience, news that she had lost weight drastically for the movie had already spread on the Internet.
Some netizens even made malicious speculations that the so-called weight loss might be possible. It was just a gimmick. Jia Ling was afraid of being betrayed, so she didn't appear in front of everyone.
However, with the release of the movie, Jia Ling's true face after losing weight was exposed, breaking everyone's speculation.
The crew of "Hot and Spicy" also released some videos while the iron was hot. From the videos, we can see that Lei Jiayin, Sha Yi and others had different reactions after seeing Jia Ling lose weight for the first time.
Jia Ling greeted Lei Jiayin with a smile, her tone full of warmth.
Lei Jiayin couldn't believe it at first and was very shocked.
After repeated confirmation and knowing that the person in front of him was Jia Ling, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and gave Jia Ling a "loving hug."
The other one is Sha Yi. After Sha Yi saw Jia Ling for the first time after losing weight, he was both excited and distressed. He even asked Jia Ling if she was depressed after losing weight.
Moreover, Sha Yi also said that he did not recognize Jia Ling at first, but later realized that Jia Ling was in front of him.
It can be seen from their performances that Jia Ling has indeed changed a lot.
After the movie was released, Jia Ling finally no longer had to maintain a sense of mystery and could attend events in public.
When she attended the event, she wore a light silver suit with shoulder pads and a white T-shirt, which gave her a neutral style. Many netizens commented on her. It's cool and beautiful.
As the saying goes, "red energy nourishes people", Jia Ling who was present was smiling happily all the time, and her eyes were full of energy.
Since the movie became a hit, her worth has also skyrocketed. This outfit is worth 100,000 yuan and comes from a major international fashion brand. It is much higher than the price of Zhang Xiaofei's clothes next to her.
On that day, Zhang Xiaofei also wore a denim jacket with short hair. The style was more neutral, and he sat with Jia Ling.
Many netizens commented that the two of them actually had a sense of camaraderie, and that Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei, who had lost weight, looked more like a pair of good best friends.
The reason why "Hot and Spicy" has achieved such great success is that many netizens can feel that this movie is not just a funny movie.
The movie contains an inspirational philosophy. Some of the plots are as fast and natural as American dramas. The irony and satire make people feel "spiritually shocked" when they watch it.
Moreover, everyone is not overreacting to Jia Ling's weight loss.
Although her weight loss does have a marketing component, everyone can feel that her weight loss is truly for herself, not to cater to others.
The image she played in the movie was a little low on self-esteem at the beginning, and she overestimated other people's thoughts.
Jia Ling in reality is not like this, with a bit of cold humor, strong empathy and delicate feelings.
That’s why she can better make women’s films and focus on women’s films, and will not face problems such as “consumption suffering” and “grandstanding”.
Moreover, the remake of the movie itself is based on localization. Jia Ling handles the localization of the movie very well, unlike many movies that completely copy the content of foreign movies and cause dissatisfaction among the audience.
Some netizens also questioned that this movie is not as humorous as imagined, but more realistic, not too funny, and the laughs are not as dense as "Flying Life 2".
However, from the current point of view, the success of a movie does not necessarily mean making people laugh. If it is irritating and refreshing, and can give people a little shock, it is already a good movie. I hope there will be more and more good movies. !
