leads the Spring Festival schedule when it is released. What is the magic power of " hot and hot "?
Regarding the fact that "Hot and Spicy" is not an original film, the film's creative team has never concealed it. It is precisely because of the word "remake" in it that many people hesitate when choosing to watch the movie during the Spring Festival. Do you want to choose "Hot and Spicy"?
There are even a lot of marketing accounts that got wind of the news. After the official announcement of "Hot and Spicy", they took the first step to impose the title of "commercial gold-making bad movie" on the film.
However, even so, the pre-sale box office and box office during the release period of "Hot and Spicy" still easily topped the box office king, easily winning 2.5 billion.
Some people say that this is unscientific. After all, "Flying Life 1", which had a box office of over 1.729 billion, has been endorsed by "Flying Life 1", and the momentum of "Flying Life 2" is very strong. Zhang Yimou, the leader of the fifth generation of directors, has assembled a super cast to compete in the Spring Festival again, and with The Supreme People's Procuratorate, Film and Television Center, worked together, and the reputation of " Article 20 " has also increased exponentially.
In this way, "Hot and Spicy", which is quite Jia Ling "riding alone for thousands of miles", does not seem to have much advantage.
Before the first day of the Lunar New Year, people's biggest curiosity about the film was whether Jia Ling really lost 100 pounds during the filming process, as she said. Or it can be said bluntly that the film's initial box office was almost entirely supported by Jia Ling's popularity with the audience.
But when people actually walked into the theater and patiently watched this movie, they discovered that "Jia Ling lost 100 pounds" is really not the whole point of this movie.
Not only that, the film actually has nothing to do with weight loss and boxing as Jia Ling said.
"This is a movie about how kind people find themselves and learn to love themselves." Jia Ling said this and did it seriously. Whether it is "Du Leying" who has undergone extreme transformation in the film, or Jia Ling who has lost weight in reality, their changes can be felt with the naked eye.
The most touching thing in the film is not that the heroine has transformed from a leftover who only knew how to eat and sleep at home for 10 years and made no contribution to society and family, to a boxer who has developed muscles and climbed into the ring. .
On the contrary, her attitude towards herself and the people around her really makes people feel her changes and growth.
The so-called "find yourself" and "reconciling with yourself" are never slogans, let alone for anyone.
From the heroine's initial embarrassment, low self-esteem, and caution when facing the hero, to her later determination of a bottom line, knowing how to advance and retreat, and no longer giving the other party the capital and opportunity to hurt her, it can be seen that the heroine has found a new meaning in the process of transformation. self.
Her purpose in boxing eventually became "really wanting to become a better version of herself."
No matter whether she wins or loses, as long as she has the capital to stand in the ring, the heroine has already defeated herself.
Seeing your own heart clearly and reconciling with your true self is what touches countless ordinary people more.
Of course, the reason why "Hot and Spicy" exceeded an astonishing 1.8 billion box office in just 5 days after its release, and is still on an upward trend, is indeed related to Jia Ling.
After a year and a half, Jia Ling finally appeared in the public eye again. She lost weight and no longer liked to smile. Even when facing the media camera, she was no longer as comfortable as she used to be in variety shows. .
Even Sha Yi was worried about whether Jia Ling would become depressed due to her drastic weight loss.
Jia Ling herself said in interviews with the media that the process of gaining weight, losing weight, constantly training, and even deadlifting 120 kilograms at her peak was not happy, but it was worth it.
Interviewer Xie Nan once put it bluntly: "The title of the film is very hot, but the front is very long."
Is there anything in this world that is more energy-consuming than repeatedly struggling with oneself and reshaping oneself?
Jia Ling said that after truly achieving these goals, she is happy. This happiness comes from losing weight and reshaping oneself. Self-discipline comes from the fact that she is closer to her true self.
The words of Zhou Shen, the singer of the movie theme song, also expressed the aspirations of many movie fans.
It is also this kind of non-refreshing style both inside and outside the film. The inspiration of self-love and the reality of walking step by step are the most touching.
And this is the confidence that "Hot and Spicy" can sing all the way and hit the box office miracle.
