To make people like you, you need to do a hundred things right, and to make people hate you only need to do one "wrong".
After successfully losing weight, Jia Ling’s impeccable popularity began to loosen.
Just after Children's Day last week, Jia Ling was officially announced as the spokesperson for Prada. In the promotional video, she is still sassy and capable, but in addition to congratulations, another voice is rampant:
"Her temperament is not suitable for Prada! Prada will not do it in the future." Bought! "
Prada's temperament is different. I'm afraid the true meaning of badmouthing Jia Ling's endorsement is still the word "dislike".
This is no surprise to any traffic star. Pink and black have always been evenly matched. But Jia Ling is obviously an exception.
In the past, when it came to audience popularity, few celebrities could compare to Jia Ling. Friendly, generous, and warm-hearted, Jia Ling is like the Michelle Ice City in the celebrity world. She is popular and close to the people, and therefore has the rarest tolerance from Chinese audiences.
Few people make irresponsible remarks about her figure. It doesn’t matter if she has gained 30 or 40 pounds: “The 180-pound audience also said, Oh, she’s so cute and lively!”
But after “Hot and Spicy”, Tolerance disappeared along with fat, and Jia Ling suddenly began to be disliked.
Everything I did was right in the past, but now everything is sin.
Criticism usually starts with, "She lost weight, but ____", like a fill-in-the-blank question:
She lost weight, but became ugly.
The evidence is the photo with Daniel Wu. In the photo, Jia Ling smiles with a wrinkled face, which seems to support the rumors that losing weight too quickly leads to facial sagging:
“I don’t know where she got her confidence. She originally looked like a comedian, but now she is an intellectual beauty. ”
She lost weight, but her breasts were smaller.
"When women lose weight, their breasts fall off the fastest."
"The 200-pound breasts disappear immediately after losing weight."
The leakage of more videos and activity materials has put the theory of becoming ugly into bankruptcy, but this does not hinder the gestalt Fill in the blanks and continue to play the drum and pass the flowers.
She lost weight, not ugly, but not healthy at all.
"You can't lose weight so fast normally. You must be taking medicine!"
"My eyes are dull. No matter what method or means I use, my vitality is greatly damaged."
She has lost weight, but she has not become ugly, but she is not worthy of it. Overjoyed.
"Although I look good, I still look comfortable with my previous face."
After losing weight, the contours of the cheeks hidden behind the fat emerged, and the bones were sharp. They used to be "very friendly", but now they are very distant.
Others say that Jia Ling no longer likes to laugh, her collagen has been replaced by the marks of time, and "the original joy has disappeared". She has changed from a carefree fat girl to a hard-working big sister, and even her appearance has changed. becomes bitter”.
From body, appearance to facial features, Jia Ling’s physical characteristics that had never “reached the standard” but had never been picked on were all re-examined and judged to be failing.
is obviously more beautiful and healthier, but why has Jia Ling’s popularity with the audience declined?
In the past, Jia Ling had a hundred achievements, and the jealousy she aroused could be offset by the word "fat".
Just like the above cloze conditioner, "She is indeed very successful, but she is fat."
In an era where thinness is regarded as beautiful, fatness is a shortcoming that cannot be concealed. As long as everyone takes a glance at a fat person, they can grasp this shortcoming. Therefore, we have a special kind of tolerance towards fat people, just like we treat the poor students in the class. .
As a result, this poor student who made an appointment not to study together, played silly and silly for a semester, handed in the final paper, and ranked first in the grade.
is thin, beautiful and healthy. Suddenly, Jia Ling’s shortcomings are gone.
is envy and jealousy, and it is also a departure from expectations.
We always thought that Jia Ling would always play the standard image of a fat friend: mellow, loving to eat, good-tempered, considerate and funny.
No matter how high you rise, no matter how much your house collapses, Sister Ling will be there, chewing on the edge of oil, smiling, unwavering.
But she lost weight silently.
When "Hot and Spicy" was released, someone joked, "In less than a year, we lost half of Jia Ling."
In fact, we lost more than half of Jia Ling. What we lost was all of that fat friend.
Rather than saying that it is Jia Ling, it is better to say that it is an imagination of the audience, a long-lasting guarantee that women can still appear kindly and dazzlingly on domestic entertainment screens even if they are not thin and have a non-standard figure.
When "Fat Jia Ling" disappears, "Thin Jia Ling" is almost hated. Look, it's her who lost our Jia Ling!
Since Jia Ling lost weight, you can hear the legend of "Jia Ling's weight rebound" every few weeks. A blurry picture, paired with a specious text, can easily harvest hundreds of thousands of traffic.
Why do you click on it even though you know it is fake? Maybe it's because we miss that fat friend who disappeared so much.
The tolerance that belongs only to fat friends also begins to ebb with the departure of fat friends. The phenomenon of
is envy and jealousy, but it is far from a simple envy and jealousy that can explain everything.
Being thinner has taken away tolerance and also brought about "Jia Ling's rebellion".
Because the indirect benefits of losing weight are too huge.
With the 3.46 billion mainland box office of "Hot and Spicy", Jia Ling has firmly become China's top-grossing female director and ranks among the top ten box-office directors in China.
But the quality of the film itself is somewhat unable to support the energy represented by these numbers.
is smooth, popular and easy to understand. "Hot", like "Hello, Li Huanying", is particularly suitable for family viewing during the Spring Festival. However, it is a simple plot adaptation and a sketch-like expression of impact, which is obviously not what a god-like work should be. quality.
So someone complained: "You can't ask us for money to lose weight."
With the blessing of Xuanfa who was still reluctant to talk, "Hot and Spicy" gradually became independent of a movie and became a spectacle viewing ticket for "Jia Ling's weight loss":
"I spent money to go to the cinema to see Jia Ling and give myself a little red flower."
She gained weight to more than 200 pounds and then lost weight to 110 pounds to fit the role. She also took care of her daily work as a director. Jia Ling's experience is certainly worthy of admiration. But when the cart is put before the horse and the inspirational experience serving the characters becomes the biggest reason to watch the movie, it is inevitable that people will feel dissatisfied.
Just like "The Vanishing She" and "All or Nothing" that use social topics, the success of these movies always makes people wonder whether they live up to their names or take advantage of the convenience of "phagotropes".
In the final analysis, Jia Ling’s two films have two wins. One is touching with the affection between mother and daughter, and the other is a sacrifice of Pang Pang’s past. They are both sincere and sincere, but they are also a bit "tricky". Lucky.
When "Li Huanying" hit theaters, there were already criticisms, but they were absorbed by the "privilege of tolerance" that still existed at that time.
We will always be a little more patient with a close friend. But when Jia Ling, who had successfully lost weight, appeared, the once cordial distance suddenly widened.
When the spotlight shines on the hem of the yellow skirt, Jia Ling sings duet with her past self from a distance. Along with the fierce and high-spirited melody, a feeling penetrates the screen extremely strongly:
She was "us" in the past, and now she is "them".
Amidst the overwhelming praise, Jia Ling stepped onto the altar.
But unfortunately, dragging God down from the altar is the hottest topic of the times.
There is no doubt that Jia Ling is becoming a new generation of inspirational idol.
went from the countryside to the Spring Festival Gala, from a crosstalk actor to a director. While working as a director, screenwriter, and starring, he went from being unable to lift his legs to becoming a strong and powerful actor. In the end, he raked in the box office and squeezed into the male-dominated director rankings.
Jia Ling lived a story that no novel would dare to write. What’s even more rare is that she helps Liu Yan and gets to know Zhang Xiaofei side by side. She also represents the female power of girls helping girls.
Before "Hot and Spicy", Jia Ling's character was already well-known.
After starring in "Hot and Spicy", she successfully lost weight and regained her beauty, becoming a perfect idol with all-round development in the traditional sense.
If Jia Ling was just a close friend in the past, then now she can indeed become a certain icon and represent a certain kind of power.
The evil words began to surge from this moment.
This may come from the instinct of the audience, instinctively resisting "idols". Because idols are always perfect, but perfection does not exist in the real world.
There is a Buddha statue in a temple beside the Meguro River in Tokyo. Those who worship the Buddha can use the gold foil beside the Buddha to gild the Buddha. Because gold is used heavily and Buddha heads are preferred, a golden Buddha head is almost indistinguishable when wrapped in layers of gold foil.
Every time I see it, I can't help but think of the increasingly crowded entertainment industry.
Faced with a perfect idol, we can hardly resist the urge to tear it off the altar, while supporters defend it everywhere and gild it, not allowing the idol to show any flaws, completely regardless of whether the idol himself has difficulty breathing under the gold paper. Unrecognizable.
The more those who support gold are protective, the more rebels want to blaspheme; and the more people who blaspheme, the more protective those who are gold-loving are.
God-making is an irreversible group movement. Once started, even gods cannot stop it. Jia Ling has said in interviews more than once, "This movie has nothing to do with weight loss, and it has nothing to do with boxing." She does not want to overemphasize weight loss because it will affect the audience's enjoyment of the theme of the movie, but it is obvious that her will can no longer influence the direction of traffic.
No one can escape the rules of the times and enjoy the convenience of traffic. From now on, they must follow the rules of the traffic game.
For viewers who once liked "Jia Ling", this may be a bit regretful. It is a pity that this aloof and friendly friend finally fell into the vanity fair.
But Jia Ling never cared, just as she never cared about becoming the laughing stock of variety shows because of her fatness.
definition is other people's business, and she just wants to get involved.
The tide of the audience will naturally flow in the direction of the times.
