I thought that this year’s summer season would be fiercely competitive, with gods fighting, but I never expected that only one work would stand out - "Catch a Baby". Although

's box office performance of 3.1 billion is already outstanding, it can only be regarded as basic for Shen Teng and Ma Li.

Their previous collaboration "Walking on the Moon" also had a box office of 3.1 billion. It would be truly surprising if it exceeded 4 billion or even 5 billion.

Therefore, as of now, the box office champion in 2024 is still Jia Ling's "Hot", with a total box office of 3.4 billion.

Although the box office is not as high as her first movie "Hello, Li Huanying", it is not easy to achieve such results. After all, the current overall market environment is still facing a cold winter, and 5 billion box office has become a fantasy again.

Jia Ling once again proved that as long as she is sincere to the audience, she can reap rewards, and many people who badmouthed "Hot and Spicy" were slapped in the face.

But in fact, Jia Ling is underestimated not only for her directing level and acting skills, but also for her appearance. The latest magazine photo of

and Sakura Ando made my eyes feel better. Jia Ling's solo photo even matched Xu Qing's face, looking full of temperament.

1. The fate of Jia Ling and Sakura Ando is that they acted in the same movie.

is not just two characters in a movie, but a Chinese version and a Japanese version.

Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy" is adapted from the Japanese version of "One Hundred Dollar Love" starring Sakura Ando. The story structure is similar, but Jia Ling adapted it locally.

is more inclined to comedy in terms of style, and the adaptation of the ending also sublimates the characters and themes again.

Of course, for many viewers, another big difference between the two movies is that Jia Ling has the experience of losing 100 pounds.

Although the two did not know each other before, because they played the same role before and after the adaptation, they seemed to see their own reflections when they saw each other. Therefore, when they met for the first time, tears filled their eyes.

Sakura Ando mentioned that when "Hot" premiered in Japan, she went to watch the movie and cried from the beginning of the movie, recalling the entire process of making the movie.

This also made it possible for her to feel no restraint or embarrassment when she first met Jia Ling. Instead, the two embraced each other openly. Before the filming of

, the two chatted face to face and discovered that their fate did not stop there.

In addition to watching "One Hundred Dollar Love", Jia Ling also watched "Restart Life" starring Sakura Ando. This work has certain similarities with Jia Ling's "Hello, Li Huanying", both with There are settings for time travel and starting over.

Although one is about female growth and the other is about family relationships, the themes are different, but they are still similar.

The two acted in "One Hundred Dollar Love" and "Hot and Spicy", and they have a lot of resonance.

Jia Ling also mentioned that the copyright of "Hello, Li Huanying" was sold to Japan, and asked Sakura Ando which role she wanted to play, a mother or a daughter? Sakura Ando thought about it for a long time but still had no answer, because many characters appeared in her mind.

This also shows that Sakura Ando takes Jia Ling's works very seriously.

After the interview ended and before entering the official shooting stage, Sakura Ando already regarded Jia Ling as her sister. It is worth mentioning that Sakura Ando's sister is the same age as Jia Ling, so she is particularly kind to each other.

Jia Ling weirdly guessed that Sakura Ando's sister is called Hana Ando and Momo Ando. Unexpectedly, she guessed it right. She is indeed Momo Ando. Jia Ling's attributes as a comedian can be shown at any time.

Two, evenly matched with the heroine, same aura, different beauty

Next, let us take a look at this issue of Marie Claire magazine, the final film of Jia Ling and Sakura Ando! Although the theme of

is divided into several different styles, the look and feel are the same. Both of them are equally matched heroines with a very strong aura.

However, the beauty displayed is really different.

For example, this black suit with black windbreaker and high heels has made everyone fully feel the strength of the two actors. Although they are smiling at each other, they feel a bit like gunpowder.

Jia Ling’s outfits are more casual, and Sakura Ando’s outfits are more sexy, but they both carry a kind of self-confidence that neither flatters nor caters to.

Both of the two people in this group wore black stand-up collar windbreakers. Because they were in black and white, they looked like they were wearing the same clothes.

This photo draws everyone’s attention to the faces of the two actors. Sakura Ando’s temperament has a world-weary coldness, while Jia Ling’s impression is gentle but firm.

The same set of clothes was changed to colorful colors. One wore an orange-pink hat, and the other wore a blue-gray hat, but they had the look of twin sisters.

It’s no wonder that the two of them felt familiar when they saw each other. They really looked like a pair of biological sisters!

is also in the style of black and white silent movies, but this group is obviously much more fashionable. The two of them are wearing black turtleneck sweaters, but they have three layers of pants on their legs, and three hats on their heads, which is cool and unique. The group

allows everyone to see the height difference between the two. Unexpectedly, Jia Ling has such a tall figure after losing weight. In this set with

color background, Sakura Ando is wearing a black leather trench coat, and Jia Ling is wearing a white leather trench coat. They have a different look and feel. Sakura Ando's posture is relaxed in the distance, and Jia Ling in the distance looks more serious.

However, Jia Ling is a comedian after all, and Sakura Ando also has a playful and cute side during interviews, so the funny style is indispensable.

The colors of this set are very bright. Sakura Ando and Jia Ling are wearing A-line hip skirts and high heels, but the colors of their tops are clearly distinguished.

Sakura Ando is a light pink color with a low-saturation green inner wear, while Jia Ling is a more gorgeous purple color with a bright pink inner wear.

Ando Sakura's movements are also very funny, while Jia Ling's expression is very interesting. From this look, both of them have good looks and figures.

Jia Ling's solo photo is very surprising. She wears a black jacket and a white shirt, with her hair messed up and leaning on a chair. But at a casual glance, she thought it was Xu Qing. She had really underestimated Jia Ling's appearance before.

Conclusion

Compared to Sakura Ando, ​​everyone is naturally more familiar with Jia Ling. In fact, after "Hello, Li Huanying", Jia Ling has been recognized by major mainstream awards and has become a leading actor and director in the industry.

"Hot and Spicy" allowed Jia Ling, who had successfully lost weight, to gain a lot of fashion resources and open up a new track.

This is not only her own success, but also allows everyone to see what female power is in the true sense. Jia Ling is the real role model.
