With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the biggest winner of the Spring Festival movie has also been announced, and it is none other than " Hot and Spicy ". The box office performance of this movie has repeatedly exceeded the expectations of this year's Spring Festival movie. Achieving great results, leaving movies such as " Article 20 " and " Mr. Red Carpet " released at the same time far behind.
While the movie "Hot and Spicy" was a hit at the box office, it also caused bad reviews of the movie from the audience. To sum up, there are two main controversies. It is true that " movies are more popular than ."
The first controversy: The movie is a weight loss movie
When the movie officially announced its schedule, it gave the audience a clue, that is, as the absolute core of the movieJia Lingplayed to disappear, as a self-directed and self-acted she , this dramatic move quickly became a hot topic in public opinion.
Soon Jia Ling posted a long post, saying that she had lost 100 pounds in order to shoot this movie, which instantly made everyone think about Jia Ling’s various images after losing weight. Faced with the endless calls from netizens, Jia Ling continued to maintain her mystery.
It was not until the movie was released that Jia Ling finally showed up. As expected, she successfully lost weight and perfectly realized the transformation from a manly woman to a goddess. During various roadshow promotions, the topic of weight loss has always been an unavoidable topic.
Because of this, many viewers said that the theme of a movie's promotion is not the plot of the movie, but the topic of Jia Ling's weight loss, which made many people label the movie "Hot and Spicy" as " weight loss movie" " tag.
The second controversy: The work that Jia Ling spent three years honing her sword turned out to be a remake
Jia Ling's directorial debut "Hello, Li Huanying" was a huge success, and many fans have been looking forward to her second film. When promoting "Hot and Spicy", Jia Ling also said that her entire team spent three years polishing this work. After the movie
was released, the audience soon discovered that something was wrong, because the plot of this movie was very similar to the classic Japanese movie " Hundred Yuan Love ".
So all kinds of ridicule came, and many movie fans couldn't accept it. The work that Jia Ling had been working on for three years turned out to be a remake of a movie without any sincerity.
Faced with all kinds of complaints and criticisms, I did not expect that at this critical moment, two central media outlets would come out to publicly support Jia Ling. The two major media outlets were , "People's Daily" and "CCTV Entertainment" .
Through the two major central media outlets, it can be seen that they support Jia Ling’s film works and give this movie high praise, especially the "People's Daily" said that this movie is not about weight loss, but about weight loss. A story about loving yourself, being brave and persevering for your dreams, it justifies the content of the movie and denies the controversy of "weight loss movie".
When a movie is questioned, it can be supported by two major central media, which is enough to show that the movie still has high value. After reading the fancy praises of the central media, and then looking at these controversies, it will be very interesting. Face it calmly. The reason why
is considered by many people to be a weight-loss movie is because the audience automatically brought it into this topic, and instead of exploring and analyzing the plot content, they kept comparing various photos of Jia Ling before and after she lost weight.
I can only say that there are too many people in life who have the experience of losing weight, but they all end in failure. Jia Ling successfully lost 100 pounds, which is an arduous task.
In the eyes of many people, Jia Ling completed a task that others could not complete, but this task took the spotlight and led many people to mistakenly believe that this movie is centered around the plot of weight loss.
In fact, remakes of movies are not a rare thing in the world, especially in recent years, domestic films have repeatedly produced excellent works. Many foreign film companies have also extended an olive branch to remake Chinese-language works. Jia Ling's "Hello, Li Huanying" has been acquired by Hollywood. Copyrighted for remake.
Jia Ling did not deny borrowing from the remake of the Japanese movie "One Hundred Dollars of Love". In fact, it seems that the frameworks of the two movies are very similar, but Jia Ling's team made localization changes.
The heroine in "One Hundred Dollar Love" is a 32-year-old Ichiko (played by Sakura Ando). She is an elderly person who has no job and is unemployed at home. She lives a negative and boring life. The focus of life is besides eating, drinking and having sex. Outside of it, all the focus is on playing games, and the entire character's mental state is dull and slovenly.
From decadence to transformation in one child, the whole change is not based on weight loss. For this detail, the movie "Hot and Spicy" has made a good adaptation.
Since other countries can remake our acclaimed works, as a Chinese filmmaker, why not remake and introduce excellent movies from other countries?
