Let's talk about "Hot and Spicy" today. As a commercial film, Jia Ling is successful. The success of marketing + Jia Ling's "marketing realization" accounted for more than 70% of the box office. It is undoubtedly an off-site factor. It was a success on the scene, but the marketing of Jia Ling's film was indeed too fierce, and there were indeed too many hot searches, so many netizens began to feel disgusted.
This is not Bo Guangjun's nonsense, it has been actually reflected in the movie box office.
The movie "Hot Hot" dropped from first place at the box office after the Spring Festival, and once dropped to fourth place. This proves that the audience no longer buys tickets for this movie.
The movie itself is always said to be a "pleasant personality", but it completely deviates from pleasing yourself. Giving the house to Bamboo, attending weddings, participating in shows, drinking with the boss, these are all Le Ying's explanations of her emotions, so Heart-to-heart kindness. Didn't please anyone.
So I personally don’t agree with the “pleasure type”. Real flattery means agreeing to record a program, giving a house when asked, and doing work when asked. It is a kind of self-indulgence and self-indulgence. There are too many montage shots in the whole film, the plot is flat and there is no rhythm, and there is no sad feeling at all after the relationship between Hao Kun and Hao Kun was trampled on.
has been chewing for ten years, and is being targeted by everyone? Jia Ling can't want both
Judging from the plot, I never saw that the character is a pleaser. The conversation between her and her father made me quite confused (don't say I didn't understand it, there is no language in the scene) The movie is not difficult to understand, right), but I didn’t expect that this is the main theme of the movie. In the early days, I thought she was a pretty tough person. She hadn't worked for ten years, didn't do housework, and even had to have her mother clean up the coke she drank. How could she be a pleaser?
If she has a pleaser personality, her sister will not ask her mother to be a lobbyist, and her boyfriend will not be afraid of being discovered if her best friend cheats on her, because in front of these scheming women, a pleaser personality is easy to be manipulated. Man, on the contrary, I think these two plots are deliberately showing that Le Ying is miserable.
However, her struggle and pain in trying to make progress in these ten years and her final degeneration of giving up on herself were not filmed at all. After her boyfriend cheated on her, she didn’t feel sad at all, and immediately jumped into the next relationship. During the scene with Lei Jiayin, I thought she was a love brain. If the movie really wanted to show that Le Ying has a pleasing personality, then I think it was too descriptive. Shallow.
It is impossible for a pleaser personality to become a loser. I said that this personality is conflicting, but netizens said that it is a pleaser personality that you have never seen a loser. I really have never seen people with a pleaser personality. It doesn't make sense that someone who dares to stay at home and not work, and whose character is extremely kind-hearted, would make his parents worried.
When I was watching the movie, Du Leying showed a tough look in her eyes all the time. This is the strange thing about the character. The ending was indeed changed very strangely. Winning is winning, losing is losing, just like working hard in the college entrance examination and then not getting into the exam of your choice. In the school, some people will say that I passed the exam, but I thought I passed the exam, which is inexplicable. People who want to win have their own standards.
kept asking me to play the role anyway, and the character kept jumping out of Du Leying and went to Jia Ling herself, not the character.
Netizens dare not scold? But Jia Ling’s new film does have too many problems
The main reason is that the adapted work has obvious logical loopholes. The language behind the character scenes is very lacking, the supporting characters are basically scraps, and the protagonist’s behavioral motivations have no reasonable support. In the original version, " The mourning "burning" was completely submerged, and in the end only "burning" was left, which was short-lived and had no staying power.
Although I don’t like this movie, I still like Jia Ling very much. I feel disgusted by some personal attacks on Jia Ling. Whether some people are bitter or disgusted, please don’t take advantage of the topic and evaluate the movie as a The audience has personal freedom, but attacking others is a matter of quality.
I hope to see Jia Ling improve in the direction of directing and write more original works by ordinary people.
The reason why I can't empathize with "Hot and Spicy" is that all the characters exist like machines, just tools to highlight the protagonist's tragedy, the scumbag who eats soft rice, the best friend who steals her boyfriend, and the relatives who are duplicitous. , a selfish sister, and then she was hurt by everyone around her, and then she realized, I don’t care about other people’s opinions anymore, I want to live for myself.
In fact, at the beginning of the movie, after she entered society and was injured and failed, she lay at home every day, eating and sleeping. She was already living for herself. Moreover, "boxing" is just a tool that Le Ying uses to transform herself. I don't feel that she has any love for "boxing".
The reason why Le Ying (Jia Ling) chose boxing is simply because the boxing theme is easier to shoot and the audience likes to watch it more. Personally, I would rather see a person who "fails" change when he encounters something he truly loves, rather than choosing something purely for the sake of change.
The key point is that the first conflict Jia Ling wanted to create was interpersonal relationships. The final conflict turned into body transformation, that is, she forcibly transformed a twisted personality into a body shape. If she has a good figure, she doesn’t have to face rent, family and Have you worked? Just like when she finally went to help in the family store, it can be seen that she has not helped in this family for decades and does not even know the basics of stocking. She has just started to learn and brought into the personality she created in the early stage, which is Ningba .
This is the kind of person who is too self-centered and unhappy, because others feel sorry for me, so I just ignore it.
remake, marketing transition, Jia Ling's new film is really "too bad"
"Hot and Spicy" I also find Jia Ling's handling of the characters in "The Movie" very strange. Her speech, lines, expression, and daily movements are all soft and soft. In the early stage, I could understand that the protagonist is a very depressed person, has no confidence in speaking, has a weak personality, etc. But when the father saw his daughter for the first time after losing weight, he said that the protagonist has changed, not just losing weight but the whole person. .
I felt speechless at that time, where? What has changed? His eyes were not firm, nor did he feel that he had become better mentally due to boxing. The whole person still felt soft, not that kind of temperamental gentleness, but still weak. The protagonist also said that he lost weight through boxing and was not unhealthy. But when I ate with my father, I cut out the meat and only ate a few vegetarian vegetables.
I was thinking, this is what is called health? Ordinary people don’t lose weight through exercise just because they can’t eat this or that in the future, right? It seems that I want to reflect father's love here and express that my father has always believed in his daughter and supported his daughter in his heart (although I said it is a bit exaggerated).
But the plot is also unreasonable. My daughter ran away from home for so long without contacting her. She only showed up when the family was in trouble, and she found the boxing gym as soon as she looked for it, which proves that she always knew her daughter was there. The only interaction between father and daughter was when the daughter went out to eat in anger, and the father just said, "Bring me back something you want to eat," so I think the plot arrangement for the father was very unreasonable.
And I don’t understand the necessity for the protagonist to go home. I showed my sister his changes and made some sarcastic remarks. When I was eating at home and heard the TV showing me being maliciously edited, I “didn’t care” and immediately put down my chopsticks. Running plot.
In addition, I don’t know much about boxing, but the referee said at the beginning not to hug, but the protagonist kept interrupting the opponent’s attack with hugs during the “abuse” process, and then started again. Then she said again and again that I could still fight. In addition, the last time she fell was interspersed with the clip of her "pleasing others", which was a supplement to the previous plot. I had no idea what the director wanted to convey through this shot.
Let me guess, the director may want to use this kind of "memory" to encourage the protagonist to stand up again and tell himself not to fall down. Is this a kind of counterattack against the past? In the end, the protagonist's so-called "win once" was just that he defeated the scumbag and at least completed the game in the arena.But when I saw it, I just found it annoying, not moved, and didn’t want to cheer for the protagonist.
I also felt that the long slow-motion scene of the protagonist preparing to enter the boxing ring behind the scenes, walking, and the comparison and dialogue with his past self in the glass was very cliche and abrupt. It might as well have been the first official trial shot of Jia Ling in the behind-the-scenes video. After walking a few steps, I collapsed and turned back to cry. It was so touching.
Her perseverance is great and touching. But the answer sheet I handed in, I can only say that apart from the fact that Jia Ling has a healthy and good body, is there anything worthy of herself and the audience?
Jia Ling won, "Hot and Spicy" won, but Chinese movies may have "lost miserably"
I feel that it is meaningless to argue about this now. There are too many problems with this movie, but Jia Ling itself has high traffic, Coupled with the gimmick of losing weight successfully, the box office exploded immediately. Most people went to the theater to watch something during the Spring Festival, not just to watch the fun. In addition, on a superficial level, the content of this movie is very positive, and more people watched it. , it is a rare success as a commercial film.
Another thing is that this is a heroine. If you put her into a broad category, it is a female channel. The audience is girls. Putting aside some individuals, girls are emotional and easily affected by emotions, while boys think more logically. In other words, many viewers did not notice the shortcomings in these films at all, or even did not care if they did.
That’s why the movie’s score is so high. Even if some people think about it later, the score won’t drop much, because there are still people who are criticizing me. In order to avoid some villains saying that I am causing controversy, I will throw out two facts: one is Times Youth League, the other is an online female channel novel, the former is understood by Dora Kuai, but the number of female fans does not need to be said in detail, the latter, you can check it out on Tomato or any software, I remember there was a book some time ago The female video book about hoarding supplies in the apocalypse is very popular. When I go in and see the brainless yuppies, there are still a lot of fans recommending it and even declaring it as gods without permission.
Girls’ thinking patterns are different from boys. Although Jia Ling’s adaptation is so-so, she did hit the point that some people, and even many people, like to watch. All we can do is really point out the shortcomings, and follow-up development will only I can say it’s time.
I don’t know if Jia Ling just wants to make this kind of movies in the future, but I will not choose to enter the cinema based on the name Jia Ling in the future. Chen Sicheng, after the happy twist, another king has come, and Chinese movies have just sunk.
