The nomination list shows that Jia Ling was nominated for Best Director and Best Actress for "Hot and Spicy". This is also her second consecutive Hundred Flowers Award nomination. Jia Ling plays Du Leying in the film, who overcomes the challenges one after another and starts a "hot life". In a scene of jumping off a building, she shot it 72 times trying to be perfect. "Because I am a person who pays great attention to the details of performance, but this extreme requirement is only for myself."

"Hot and Spicy" has achieved a box office success of 3.46 billion, becoming the box office champion of new films during the Spring Festival in 2024. As for the original intention of filming, Jia Ling once revealed that "Hot and Spicy" is not about weight loss or boxing, but the story of a girl learning to "love herself."

Actor Ma Li plays Li Maojuan in the movie "Article 20". She is an ordinary but great housewife in thousands of families. She has both an impatient and worldly side and a kind and tender side. These characters are reflected in Ma Li's character. The performance is beautifully portrayed.

Ma Li said in an interview with a cover news reporter that as an actor, she does not want to be defined, and she feels very happy to have the opportunity to try different types of works. During the creative process, actors must carefully understand the characters' lives both inside and outside the play, so as to provide an inner basis for the subsequent presentation of the characters. "I play Li Maojuan. As long as I put on her clothes, walk into that scene, and imagine such a family, then I will become her."

Wang Zhi (played by Han Duoduo in "The Wandering Earth 2"). Stills

In the movie "The Wandering Earth 2", actor Wang Zhi changed from the soft image in the audience's previous image. In order to portray the military image of "Han Duoduo" in the film, her hair was cut to almost the same length as her co-star Wu Jing. She once revealed that if she hadn't participated in "The Wandering Earth 2" this time, she might never have tried this "little boy-like" hairstyle in her life. Later, everyone became familiar with her short hair style and began to call her "Brother Zhi". ".

Talking about the characters created, Wang Zhi believes that the relationship between the characters and the actors themselves is mutual achievement, and it depends on fate. "Keep making yourself better and slowly improve your thinking ability. As you become more mature, the things you interpret in your works will be different." She revealed that she turned down other jobs while filming "The Wandering Earth 2". Focusing most of my energy on filming and how to interpret "Han Duoduo", plus preparation and training, I basically spent nearly a year on this role.

"She seems to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts. She can ride a motorcycle, drag a car, drift, speak English, and dive." Ni Ni said, "When you believe this story, you will naturally and instinctively believe it. Emotion, there is no secret to truly feeling the relationship between these two characters, it is just instinct."

Yin Tao (played by Bai Hua in "The Journey Back"). Stills

At the same time, Baihua has multiple identities and qualities mixed together. She is not only a leader, but also a wife and mother. These identities are inseparable.

"When filming on location, I let myself return to the same state as a child, believing everything that was happening at the moment. From the lines, scenes to foreign actors, the crew created a relatively real atmosphere, so my reaction at that time was also real ."Yin Tao said that through this movie, she got to know them better and saw the difficulty behind the profession; it also made the audience feel that no matter where they are, the motherland is behind you.
