Jia Ling, this name has become one of the representatives of the Chinese comedy industry in recent years.
From sketches to movies, she has won the love and support of countless audiences with her talent and hard work. However, her new work "Hot and Hot" caused a plagiarism storm after the poster was released, which made her image and personality questioned and challenged. What's going on here? Let's take a look.
## What kind of movie is Hot and Hot?
"Hot and Hot" is a comedy film directed and starring Jia Ling, which tells the story of a fat girl who participates in a women's boxing match in order to pursue her dreams and love. This film is Jia Ling's second directorial work after "Hello, Li Huanying", and it is also her first attempt at boxing-themed films. The screenplay for the film was co-created by Jia Ling and her team, and the film was inspired by a Japanese film called "100 Yuan Love".
"100 Yuan Love" is a Japanese film directed by Takeshi Haru and starring Ai Hashimoto and Takeru Sato, which tells the story of a girl living in poverty who participates in a boxing match in order to earn money.
After the film was released in 2014, it won many awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress at the Japan Academy Film Awards, and was also well received by audiences at home and abroad. Jia Ling once said in an interview that she had the idea of wanting to shoot a similar movie after watching this movie. "I found the film interesting and inspiring," she said. I wanted to express the story in my own way and let more people see it. ”
## Why did the poster of "Hot and Hot" cause controversy?
The poster of "Hot and Hot" was officially released on January 16, 2024, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion. In the poster, a close-up of Jia Ling's big face has become the focus, and the dynamic expression and rough and direct visual effects have left a deep impression. The design style of the poster is like the name of the movie, full of direct and enthusiastic atmosphere. Jia Ling's face occupies the whole frame, and the close-up camera magnifies her facial features, showing her confidence and bravery. The design concept of the poster is to convey the theme and atmosphere of the movie, but also to highlight Jia Ling's personal style and characteristics.
However, this kind of close-up of the big face has also caused a lot of controversy and questioning. Some netizens said that the impact of such a face-slapping lens is too great, which makes people feel uncomfortable. And the dynamic effect of Jia Ling's face being squeezed and deformed makes some people feel a little greasy. In addition to the design style of the poster, the originality of the poster has also been questioned.
Some netizens found that this poster is very similar to a poster in Japan, and even the meaning expressed is similar, which raises suspicions of plagiarism.
This poster is a promotional poster for the Japanese movie "Love Novel", and it is also designed with square line composition filled with the facial expressions of the main character. The difference is that the Japanese poster uses a bright yellow square border, which is designed to simulate the display of a mobile phone screen, while the Jia Ling movie poster replaces the border with a boxing ring made of irregular lines.
Both posters are meant to express the inner world and emotional changes of the protagonist, and both are to attract the audience's attention. However, some netizens believe that Jia Ling's poster plagiarizes the composition and framing of Japanese posters, lacks creativity and novelty, and is not even as vivid and interesting as the original.
## How long is Jia Ling's plagiarism history?
This is not the first time Jia Ling has been accused of plagiarism. As early as 2013, Jia Ling caused controversy because the sketch "The Goddess and the Female Man" was accused of plagiarizing the Korean comedy sketch "The Goddess and the Female Man". There are many similarities in the plot and lines of the two sketches, except that the scene is shifted from Korea to China.
Jia Ling responded at the time that she thought it was very interesting after watching the Korean sketch, so she wanted to interpret it in a Chinese way. "I think it's a very interesting and resonant subject," she said. I want to express this story in a Chinese way so that more people can see it. ”
In 2019, Jia Ling's film debut "Hello, Li Huanying" was also accused of plagiarizing the Korean comedy sketch "Mom's Memories". The plot of both works tells the story of a daughter who returns to her mother's youth through a time machine and becomes friends with her mother. Jia Ling responded at the time that she felt very moved after watching the Korean sketch, so she wanted to use her personal experience to adapt it. "I find this story very touching and inspiring," she said. I wanted to use my personal experience to adapt this story so that more people can see it. ”
In 2024, Jia Ling's new work "Hot and Hot" will be accused of plagiarizing the Japanese movie "100 Yuan Love". The plot of both movies tells the story of a fat girl who participates in a women's boxing match in order to pursue her dreams and love. Jia Ling responded this time that after watching a Japanese movie, she thought it was very interesting and wanted to express it in her own way. "I found the film interesting and inspiring," she said. I wanted to express the story in my own way and let more people see it. ”
From these responses, we can see that Jia Ling's attitude towards plagiarism is relatively casual and relaxed. She doesn't seem to think of her work as plagiarism, but rather borrows and adapts. She thinks she's using her own way to express an interesting story for more people to see.
She also did not express any respect or gratitude to the original author, nor did she indicate any copyright information and source. This attitude is undoubtedly disrespectful to the original creator and irresponsible to the audience.
Plagiarism is nothing new in the film and television industry, and many works have more or less borrowed and imitated elements. However, some works are innovated and improved on the basis of respecting originality, so that the works have their own characteristics and styles. And some works are directly copied or slightly modified, without any creativity and novelty, just to earn eyeballs and profits. This kind of work will not only harm the rights and interests of the original creator, but also reduce the aesthetic level and taste of the audience.
Which kind of Jia Ling's works belong to? Judging from the current situation, her works seem to be more inclined to the latter. Although her works have a certain amount of entertainment and laughter, they lack depth and connotation, and do not show their own style and characteristics. Many of her works are based on her own looks and figures, using exaggerated and self-deprecating ways to attract the audience's attention.
Her works also do not make any thinking and reflection on society and life, but only to cater to the tastes and needs of the public. Her work also does not show any respect and gratitude to the original author, nor does it indicate any copyright information and source. This kind of work will not only make people feel bored and bored, but also make people feel disrespectful and irresponsible.
As a comedian and film director, Jia Ling has her own talent and hard work, as well as her own fans and supporters. Her works have also brought joy and emotion to people. However, she also needs to reflect on her own works and attitudes, whether they really meet her ideals and pursuits, and whether they can really bring positive energy and value to people.
She also needs to respect the labor and achievements of the original creator, indicate the copyright information and source, and avoid the suspicion and controversy of plagiarism. She also needs to innovate and progress, don't stay in her comfort zone, don't be satisfied with her current situation, and don't over-consume her image and personality. She also needs to express her story in her own way, so that more people can see that she is true and unique.
In short, the poster of Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Hot" caused controversy, and the plagiarism storm heated up, which made her image and character design questioned and challenged. For her, this is both a crisis and an opportunity. She needs to face up to her own problems and shortcomings, improve her work and attitude, and win back the trust and support of the audience. I also hope that she can show more excitement and surprises in her future works, and bring more joy and emotion to people.
