In addition, there are also controllable choices of animation, love and other themes. Directors and The cast is very strong. Next, I will recommend some new movies that are most worth watching.
This film is Jia Ling 's new masterpiece as director and starring again after "Hello, Li Huanying". The film tells the story of Le Ying (played by Jia Ling) who has stayed at home for many years with nothing to do. After graduating from college and working for a period of time, Leying chose to withdraw from society and close her social circle. This was the best way she believed to "reconcile" with herself. One day, due to several "tricks" of fate, she decided to change her life. In careful contact with the outside world, Le Ying met boxing coach Hao Kun (played by Lei Jiayin). Just when she thought her life was about to get on the right track, the tests that followed were far beyond her imagination, and her hot life had just begun...
After the movie was released today, "Jia Ling's Abs" and "Now Jia Ling" appeared early in the morning Jia Ling, who shot to the top of the trending searches and lost 50 kilograms, not only gained abdominal muscles and a jawline, but also developed a standard figure of a boxer for the role.

Of course, the highlight of "Hot and Spicy" is not just that Jia Ling has lost weight. In fact, it is a movie about how kind people find themselves and learn to love themselves.
The film also contains the emotional power that directly touches people's hearts in a joyful atmosphere. The two people who competed hard during the boxing match were able to hug each other in the end. The way of confrontation and competition in the boxing ring made people who are good to each other but always The hurt Le Ying was deeply touched and made her yearn for the boxing ring.
From "staying at home for ten years" to "wanting to win once", in the film, Leying's growth and transformation process of learning to "love herself" is very emotionally penetrating and gives people warm comfort in the heart.
At the same time, the cast of "Hot and Spicy" is packed with stars, which also reflects Jia Ling's good popularity.

It has been 5 years since the release of the previous work "Flying Life". Han Han once again teamed up with Shen Teng and other original cast members and new faces to return with the sequel.
"Flying Life 2" tells the story of the former champion driver Zhang Chi (played by Shen Teng) who became a down-and-out driving school instructor, living a life of relying on his reputation to make ends meet. Unexpectedly, pie in the sky falls, and the director of Laotoule Automobile Factory (played by Jia Bing), who is on the verge of suspending production, offers to sponsor Zhang Chi to form a team to compete in the last Bayinbrook Rally.
Zhang Chi summoned his old friends Sun Yuqiang (played by Yin Zheng) and Ji Xing (played by Zhang Benyu), and formed a team to have fun with the talented driver Li Xiaohai (played by Fan Chengcheng) and Liu Xiande (played by Sun Yizhou), a rookie driving school student who always failed the second subject. , The grass-roots team that was jumping around like dogs and cats overcame many difficulties and rushed to the stadium with a lot of jokes. This time he will surpass the finish line that has appeared in countless dreams...
Compared with the first part, "Flying Life 2" has strengthened the proportion of comedy elements. In addition to providing a lot of laughs, it will also pass people down The protagonist Zhang Chi's optimism and hard work spirit in pursuing his dreams when facing difficulties bring encouragement and courage to the audience.
Zhang Chi’s change is not only in starting a new life as a driving school instructor, but also in his physical state that is full of injuries and his mentality of facing reality and dreams.Zhang Chi in the previous film was very determined to love racing, while Zhang Chi in the sequel is closer to a small person who has to give up for five buckets of rice. His new life is not so smooth, with negative comments from fans, recognition of one's worth and driving school. Situations such as demolition and being slapped in the face by reality reflect his bitterness and helplessness.
In "Flying Life 2", you can see how a middle-aged man failed despite his talent, and how he made a comeback with his friends to avenge his shame. It is a burning and inspirational story.
In the past few years, Zhang Yimou can be said to be a model worker in the director world. This is the third consecutive year that he has participated in the Spring Festival movie after "Sniper" in 2022 and "Man Jiang Hong" in 2023. He has also maintained the tradition of not repeating himself. The new realistic comedy-themed works brought this year are also very different from the types of works released during the Spring Festival in the previous two years.
The title of the movie "Article 20" is taken from the provisions of Article 20 of the "Criminal Law". It is based on things around us that are of concern to everyone. It revolves around a case of self-defense, focusing on the dilemma between circumstances and law in related cases, and uses a high degree of sympathy to Li Xin presents the simplest pursuit of fairness and justice. Under the tone of realism, it depicts the trivial warmth and delicate and simple universal emotions of daily life, and also allows the audience to better understand the meaning of the law.
In terms of the starring cast, Lei Jiayin is very busy during the Spring Festival this year. He previously played the male lead as a boxing coach in "Hot and Spicy" and a temporary prosecutor in "Article 20". In addition, he has also assembled Many actors and actresses who are familiar to the audience include Ma Li, Zhao Liying, Gao Ye, Liu Yaowen, Wang Xiao, Chen Minghao, Pan Binlong, Zhang Yi, Fan Wei, Yu Hewei, Xu Yajun, Li Naiwen, Jiang Qiming, Aruna, Yang Haoyu, Qiao Shan, etc.
Generally speaking, "Article 20" is based on the theme of fairness and justice, gathers a group of powerful actors, incorporates comedy elements into a realistic story, and has humanistic care, depicting the trivial warmth and delicacy of ordinary people's daily lives. Based on simple family love, this realistic comedy with a warm background will not only bring laughter to the audience at the time of family reunion, but also trigger thinking about reality and society.
"Mr. Red Carpet" is the first film that Ning Hao and Andy Lau have collaborated on as directors and actors since they met in "Crazy Stone" 17 years ago. As a fulfillment of their contract 17 years ago, Ning Hao and Andy Lau explore absurd comedy. A new form of expression, taking the wonders of the entertainment industry as an entry point to explore the proposition of "communication".
The film tells the story of the King Liu Weichi (played by Andy Lau) who has been in the movie industry for 40 years and has always aspired to win the Best Actor. He decided to collaborate with director Lin Hao (Ning Hao) on a rural-themed film, which earned him international fame at film festivals. To this end, Liu Weichi went deep into the countryside to experience life, personally solicited investment, and refused to use a stand-in. This triggered a series of ridiculous farces that made people laugh and cry, and also showed the various aspects of the entertainment industry.
As an absurd comedy based on the fame and fortune fair of the entertainment industry, "Mr. Red Carpet" is based on the real status quo of the film and television industry, and exposes and reflects on reality through spicy and self-deprecating expressions.
Whether it is a king entering the countryside to experience life in order to win an award, or capital dictating and interfering with film creation, behind the self-examination that directly pokes at the pain points of reality is a deeper thinking about the industry and the times. Therefore, many viewers who have already watched it commented on this film The movie is a "spicy commentary on the entertainment industry, an examination of the times, bold opening of the microphone and calm firing".
Ning Hao integrates his concern and thinking about society into his works, focusing on the communication difficulties faced by everyone in today's Internet era. He pursues perfection and remains "serious" through the famous star Liu Weichi, but is misunderstood and ridiculed for not keeping up with the times. The absurd story not only makes the audience smile, but also provides the emotional value of "rejecting communication and internal friction, being elegant and self-consistent".
Just like Ning Hao said, "This movie doesn't talk about anything else. It just talks about long live understanding and being able to think from the other person's perspective. The bigger premise is to learn to let go of the ego."
