Director Jia Ling's work "Hot and Spicy" was officially announced today and will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Jia Ling, who has "disappeared" for a year, said on Weibo that she lost 100 pounds for her role in the film. The finalized poster unveiled that day exposed Jia Ling's new role for the first time.
The movie "Hot and Spicy" is Jia Ling's return to the Spring Festival as a director after three years after "Hello, Li Huanying". At the same time, it was also the first time Jia Ling met all the audiences after her "disappearance" for more than a year.
What happened this year? The following is Jia Ling’s “personal letter”.
My dear friends:
I haven’t seen you for more than a year. I miss you so much... During the more than a year since I disappeared, I made a movie called "Hot and Hot." I shot this movie for a whole year, covering four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I started filming five times (one more time because I was too tired). I also successfully lost 100 pounds and became like a boxer. The night we finished filming, I was sitting alone by the bed, with the moonlight shining on my back. I ate five packs of chocolate wafers, a total of 30 yuan, shirtless... Looking back now, I feel very handsome, like a tired warrior holding a hand. Holding your own trophies! The movie
will be released on the first day of the new year. In fact, I have always known that I have lost 100 pounds, and now just meeting everyone is the best promotion for the movie, but I can't bear to do it. I'm afraid of disturbing the surprise of the movie, and I don't want you to think that I just made a movie about weight loss. So although there have been many discussions this year, I have never taken the initiative to mention it. Because this movie has nothing to do with weight loss, or even boxing. It is a movie about how kind people find themselves and learn to love themselves. I also have a lot of issues about life that I want to discuss with you. Let’s wait until it’s released. And... I tried my best to make this movie. I just hope that you can feel the same for me when you see me again in the cinema. pride. There is a past me and a new me in the movie. I hope you can like them both.
The last thing is... I'm really hungry and tired this year, it feels like a lifetime has passed. If you see me during a road show, if you have the chance, can you go on stage and give me a hug? Although I may feel a little "hard" when you hug me now, I really miss you! See you on the first day of the new year!
Jia Ling admitted in the letter that she lost 100 pounds for the film role and "trained to look like a boxer." However, the core of the story of "Hot and Spicy" has nothing to do with boxing and weight loss, but "learning to love yourself." The story tells that Le Ying (played by Jia Ling) has stayed at home for many years with nothing to do. After graduating from college and working for a while, she chose to break away from society and practice what she thought was the best way to "reconcile" with herself. One day, due to several "tricks" of fate, Leying decided to change her life. In the process of cautious contact with the outside world, Le Ying met boxing coach Hao Kun (played by Lei Jiayin). When she thought her life was about to get on the right track, the tests that followed were far beyond her imagination...
The movie "Hot and Spicy" is directed by Jia Ling, starring Jia Ling and Lei Jiayin, with Zhang Xiaofei, Zhao Haiyan, Zhang Qi, Xu Juncong, Bu Starring Yu Yu, Zhu Tianfu, and Liu Honglu, with guest appearances by Yang Zi, Sha Yi, Wei Xiang, Li Xueqin, Shen Chunyang, and Shen Tao, it will be released nationwide on February 10.
