The annual Shanghai Film Festival is a festival for movie fans and filmmakers. During this period, not only will a number of excellent new and old films be screened, but many well-known filmmakers from all over the world will gather in Shanghai to participate in this film event. This year, the Japanese original version of " Hot and Hot " " Hundred Yuan Love " was screened during the Shanghai International Film Festival. After the screening on June 15, screenwriter Shin Adachi appeared and communicated face-to-face with Chinese movie fans. It is worth mentioning that Adachi Shin also served as a judge for the Asian Newcomer Unit of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival.
"Hot" directed and starred by Jia Ling became a phenomenon-level film this year, with a box office of 3.46 billion yuan and Jia Ling's body shape changes becoming a hot topic. "100 Yuan Love" was born in 2014. The heroine Sakura Ando won the Japan Film Academy Award, the Film Weekly Award, the Blue Ribbon Award and the Takasaki Film Festival for the best actress award for her role as "Ichiko". This film also represents Japan in the Oscar competition for Best Foreign Language Film. Adachi Shin also won the Best Screenplay Award at the 39th Japan Film Academy Awards for this script.
On the same day, Mr. Adachi watched the film with the audience in the audience. When communicating after the screening, he praised the Chinese audience for understanding him very well: "I watched this movie with everyone, and everyone understood almost all the laughs in the movie. It was really interesting to see everyone laughing so hard." "One Hundred Dollars of Love" was already a film ten years ago. The Shanghai International Film Festival gave Adachi the opportunity to rewatch this work on the big screen. He had many feelings: "Now that I watch "One Hundred Dollars of Love", I feel like I was really moved when I saw Ichiko saying to me: 'Are you still working hard now? Have you achieved the goal you set back then?' "
In the film, Ichiko Zeng was played. She was a squatter who had accomplished nothing. Through boxing, she regained the sense of living and began to enjoy life again. Part of this character comes from Adachi Shin's real experience: "When I was in my mid-thirties, I encountered the same dilemma in life as Ichiko. Although I entered the film industry, my work was not going well, and other things were also very difficult. Oops. I had an idea at that time: Even if it’s just once, I want to work hard. This is how "Hundred Dollar Love" was born." Adachi Shin also revealed that he, like Ichiko, also worked on Hundred Dollar. Work in a store to earn living expenses.
During the post-screening exchange, an audience member specifically asked about the difference in the endings of "One Hundred Dollar Love" and "Hot and Spicy". In both works, the heroine has an affair with a boxer and is betrayed by him. In "It's Hot", Du Leying, played by Jia Ling, finally rejected the overtures of the boxer played by Lei Jiayin, ; in "One Hundred Dollar Love", Ichiko left hand in hand with the boxer Kano. Adachi admitted that he had hesitated when writing the script, but in his opinion, Ichiko had made great changes in herself through boxing, but she actually didn’t hate Kano in her heart, “I think Ichiko should still like her His. So I wrote this ending.” However, he also revealed that when the film was released in Japan, the ending also caused some controversy: "At that time, half of the female viewers said they did not like the ending."
After the screening that day, the entire audience applauded the film. This growth story has not become outdated even after 10 years. Mr. Adachi said that he found it very incredible that "100 Yuan Love" was reborn in China 10 years after its birth and was adapted into "Hot Hot". In addition, "Hot" will be released in Japan on July 5, and we are also looking forward to the Japanese audience's feedback on this film.
