Beijing Daily reporter Wang Jinyue
"Hot and Spicy" in 13 days of release, the box office has exceeded 31 billion. But in Jia Ling’s view, she has never thought too much about the box office. Compared with the audience’s interest in the topic of “weight loss”, she hopes that the words that appear on the hot search are “love yourself” and “In the days to come, I want to love Myself, this is what I want to express most through the movie."
Talk more about movies and less about "weight loss"
Even before the release of "Hello, Li Huanying", Jia Ling had planned to make the Japanese movie "Hundred Yuan Love" "The idea of localizing the adaptation. She especially liked the ending of the film. The 32-year-old otaku Kazuko Saito participated in a boxing match for the first time. Her opponent was the boxing champion for four consecutive years. Although this was a match without suspense. , but Saito Kazuko still persisted to the end with his perseverance. "I think the normal state of life is to lose, but as long as you try your best in the process, you win. This is another way to burn out." Jia Ling said.
During the adaptation, Jia Ling discovered that she was very different from Le Ying in "Hot and Spicy". She had previously given the impression that she was cheerful and lively and liked to make everyone laugh, but Le Ying was set As a shy and reserved person, "She is the kind of person who is willing to give double or even many times the kindness to someone in return. She is not very good at expressing herself and does not know how to refuse, so she has suffered a lot of grievances." and hurt." Jia Ling felt that her previous image in the audience's mind was too flattering, "So I can only gain weight to make the audience feel a little strange, in order to break the audience's inertial thinking." She decided to adopt the method of "gain weight first and then weight loss" method. "I started to gain weight from over 170 kilograms, increased it to 210 kilograms, and then lost another 100 kilograms. According to my height of 1.66 meters, the weight of a standard female boxer should be between 54 and 57 kilograms."
Jia Ling One of the main reasons why she did not show up for a long time before the movie was released was that she wanted to avoid the topic of "weight loss". She knew that as soon as she showed up, it would soon become an explosive topic, and everyone would take turns asking her about weight loss recipes. , exercise programs, weight loss mentality and how to get in shape and other topics. She repeatedly emphasized: ""Hot and Spicy" is not a movie with a weight loss theme. I hope the audience will talk more about the movie after watching the movie."
She held her opponent in the ring and beat her for two minutes.
Jia Ling said that she She didn't pay much attention to boxing games before, but she still knew the name of Zhang Weili, Asia's first world champion in UFC fighting games. In order to get closer to the image of a boxing player, her learning target is Zhang Weili. After hard training, her body gradually gained "tendon meat" and clearly visible abdominal muscles. Compared with the power of heavy punches, she was more confident in her "dodge" movements, "Although it is still worse than Zhang Weili." Very far, but I will often ask myself: Have I tried my best? It would be better if I tried my best."
The biggest change is the look in her eyes, from Le Ying's cowardice and avoidance at the beginning to her firmness and sharpness later, Jia Ling's Try to make the characters believable. "I don't want to make a fuss about her figure. I emphasize more that Le Ying's boxing speed is getting faster and her eyes are firmer."
At the beginning of the video, Le Ying wearing boxing gloves walked through a 12-meter-long road. The passage is about to enter the arena. Before filming this scene, Jia Ling had imagined countless times that she would look handsome when she appeared. But when it came to the actual filming, she suddenly felt mixed feelings and an inexplicable emotion came over her after just a few steps. , she twisted her head, and tears suddenly burst out. At this moment, she seemed to be one with Le Ying, "I don't know why I cried. For me, these 12 meters may be the result of a year's hard work and dedication." Hard work, or maybe it’s the 42 years of my life, how much effort I’ve spent in it, to get here.”
The person who competed with Jia Ling in the ring was a boxing champion who had won many boxing championships. Jia Ling told her , you must really hit when shooting, because only in this way can you capture your true expression after being punched.There is a two-minute long shot in the second round of the film. After being knocked down many times, Le Ying stood up tenaciously again and again. Before shooting, Jia Ling warned herself that she must hold on to her opponent for two minutes, "If I can hold on, I can have this shot. Otherwise, I can only use the camera to edit, which will greatly reduce the effect." This is also what Jia Ling said. Ling's most unforgettable scene in the film.
The third work is still a realistic theme

With her lively and cheerful personality, she gradually gained the love of audiences across the country. But life can never be preset. When the opportunity to direct "Hello, Li Huanying" came, Jia Ling seized it in time. "I think the carrier of film is more suitable for what I want to express in recent years." She said with a smile , when filming "Hello, Li Huanying", he didn't understand movies at all, "But after experiencing many things once, you will gain something."
