There is no doubt that "Hot and Spicy" is the hottest movie during the Spring Festival this year!
Audiences across the country, bombarded by waves of word-of-mouth, flocked to movie theaters to watch "Hot". Many of them, like me, were reluctant to leave the movie for a long time after the movie ended, and were even left in their hearts. The energy spurred a spontaneous standing ovation.
chose "Hot and Spicy" as the first movie in the Year of the Dragon. It is really worth the ticket price. I watched it, it was so shocking.
In fact, the shock that "Hot and Spicy" brings to everyone is far more than just Jia Ling losing weight and gaining muscle for the role.
Some viewers said that this movie is about dreams.
Some viewers believe that "Hot and Spicy" is sincere and inspirational!
But for me, the meaning of the movie "Hot and Spicy" contains many, many things. The most touching thing for me is that it made me realize that Jia Ling has completed her transformation from to !
Why do you say that? Because in "Hot", Jia Ling's acting and directing skills have made a qualitative improvement and leap forward, both from the director level and from the level of Jia Ling's character Le Ying.
Let’s look at the acting first.
We have seen a lot of Jia Ling's works before, and we have the impression that Jia Ling has always played a very optimistic, cheerful and outgoing person in her works.
Jia Ling’s previous roles often had a lot of lines, rich expressions, and strong emotions.
It’s not that these characters are bad, but that such characters will limit the performance to a fixed level.
But in "Hot and Spicy", Le Ying played by Jia Ling is completely different.
If you pay a little attention, you will find that most of the comedies and jokes in "Hot and Spicy" are focused on other characters. Even if some of the baggage appears on Le Ying, it is not in the form of laughter, but in the form of a laugh. It is light and relies on the inner character of the character to affect the audience's emotions. It is very subtle.
Throughout the movie, Le Ying, played by Jia Ling, always remains in a somewhat depressed state. What she conveys to everyone is not as simple as being taciturn.
uses restrained performance techniques to make the audience pay more attention to the character's heart.
Le Ying talks very little, but from Jia Ling's performance we can read a very rich inner confession.
In other words, although there are no exaggerated and funny body movements and various lines, the character of Le Ying is more vivid because the audience and the character have achieved heart-to-heart communication.
Jia Ling has learned to rely on her eyes, temperament, micro-expressions, or even just one or two lines to create a complete character.
This is not only an improvement in her acting skills, but also an improvement in her character creation and understanding of movies.
Let’s talk about the director level.
If "Hello, Li Huanying" is Jia Ling's sincere work as a director, then "Hot" shows that Jia Ling has a vague "ambition" to become a famous director.
In "Hot and Spicy", we can find many clever narrative techniques and directing skills.
What impressed me most was when Le Ying returned to her rental house in a white dress after experiencing a series of blows.
Here is a two-minute quiet camera narration. In the night, every time Jia Ling climbed the stairs, a light would light up for her, until finally she entered her house and the lights in the room turned on.
The outside environment changed from night to rainy day to morning sun, and Leying also completed a transformation of soul to .
Jia Ling has a very clever setting here. Many viewers are actually confused when they see this, because they don't know what is the reason why Jia Ling must participate in the boxing match.
If you only see this, the motivation for the character change does not seem to be enough, but Jia Ling put all the stories that happened in this section at the end of the film.
When she was knocked down in the boxing ring and recalled what happened before, the audience suddenly realized that there was a feeling of having their IQ rubbed while watching a suspense movie, and there was also the pleasure of finally completing the puzzle.
It turns out that Le Ying has experienced so much, but in Jia Ling's lens language, this explosive power is not scattered in the previous shots, but is focused on showing it at the highest emotional climax.
For a director directing his second film, this kind of shooting techniques and techniques are very advanced, and the feelings brought to the audience are completely different from those of straightforward narrative.
This filming is enough to prove that Jia Ling is not only a director who can tell stories, she has begun to use skills to make her movies richer, with more room for interpretation, and with more charm to attract the audience.
In fact, there are many actors who have lost weight for their roles, but why is it that only Jia Ling has received such huge attention?
This is not only because of Jia Ling's sincerity, but also because she has the heart to make movies.
After watching "Hot and Spicy", I particularly hope that all Chinese film directors can be like Jia Ling and have the determination to achieve a certain goal for the movie, instead of just being superficial and making money to cut leeks. .
The film industry needs to be introverted, and directors also need to be introverted. And Jia Ling is undoubtedly the most successful one this year.
If it were me, I would definitely recommend my friends to watch "Hot and Spicy".
Because no matter what age or profession you are, you will definitely gain something after watching this movie. The new year should start like this with "Hot and Hot"!
