Jia Ling has good news again!
The 42-year-old was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director and Best Actress for "Hot and Spicy". This is also the second time Jia Ling was nominated for Best Actress after "Hello, Li Huanying", and she was nominated for both director and actress. It is said to be "unprecedented", but controversy is inevitable behind this glory.
Among the Best Actress nominees for the Hundred Flowers Award this time, there are Ma Li for "Article 20", Jia Ling for "Hot and Spicy", Yin Tao for "Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Bound", Ni Ni for "The Lost Girl" and Wang Zhi for "The Lost One". "The Wandering Earth 2", it can be seen that the competition among movie queens is quite high.
Many netizens are optimistic that Jia Ling can win the Best Actress trophy this time. After all, "Hot and Spicy" has harvested 3.4 billion in box office, which is considered one of the most popular movies this year, making Jia Ling the fourth "10 billion actress" in China. ".
Moreover, the copyrights of Jia Ling’s “Hello, Li Huanying” and “Hot and Spicy” were purchased abroad, allowing domestic films to “go abroad.”
However, Jia Ling's success is not completely without controversy. This time Jia Ling was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award. Some netizens felt that the movies Jia Ling made were "bad movies" and that being nominated was a sign of depravity in the film industry.
In fact, before the Hundred Flowers Award, Jia Ling's "success" was mixed with a lot of controversy. Although "Hot" was an absolute success at the box office, some netizens felt that the "marketing" of this movie was too much.
First of all, the movie itself is not original, but a remake. Secondly, Jia Ling said before the movie was released that she hoped the audience would focus on the movie itself and not care about her weight loss.
But as we all know, from the eve to the release of the movie, there were overwhelming searches related to Jia Ling's weight loss.
After that, Jia Ling also filmed a documentary "I Only Live Once" for this movie, telling her experience and thoughts about losing weight. After the broadcast, it caused even more criticism from netizens, who felt that Jia Ling did not focus on the movie. On the contrary, it magnifies my own weight loss and sells body anxiety.
But it is undeniable that "Hot" is indeed successful as a movie. Perhaps as Wu Jing said, a movie with a high box office does not mean a high level.
When Wu Jing made "Wolf Warrior 2", he received a box office of 5.6 billion, and Wu Jing won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor. However, the reviews of "Wolf Warrior 2" were also mixed.
In any case, Jia Ling's achievements should not be "obliterated". As a "female director" who has finally made her way into mainstream movies, Jia Ling's photos are enough to become the only female director among well-known domestic directors. her success.
Moreover, Jia Ling has really spent her energy on her film career. She used to be a "frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala" and participated in many variety shows. However, in order to prepare for film works, she could give up the Spring Festival Gala and also gave up going on variety shows. As an actor , being able to really calm down and complete the work is already worthy of respect.
Although the "controversy" about Jia Ling continues, we hope that Jia Ling can truly focus on the film itself and become a convincing "excellent female director."
