This year's Spring Festival champion is about to spend Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Hot".
At present, the total box office of the film has exceeded 1.1 billion in three days after its release, and the platform predicts that the total box office in the mainland will reach 4.4 billion.
But that's just a 30-day prediction for the film's release.
If it's like "Hello, Li Huanying", the key will be extended for another month.
There are no works that can be played in the same schedule, and the total box office may rise.
Therefore, the final box office of "Hot and Hot" is likely to break "Hello, Li Huanying" and refresh the top three Chinese film box office rankings.
While the box office is blowing out, the word-of-mouth evaluation of this movie is still polarized.
Although it scored 7.9 points, among the 130,000 viewers, the proportion of one-star and two-star negative reviews was as high as 7.8%.
There are more than 10,000 viewers who are dissatisfied with the movie.
01
Everyone is a "scumbag"
One of the controversies in "Hot and Hot" is the "stigmatization of women".
For no other reason, the female characters portrayed in this film are not pleasing.
Zhang Xiaofei played the young Li Huanying in "Hello, Li Huanying", with a simple personality and a likable personality, focusing on the greatness of maternal love.
But in this film, she played Le Dan as a cheating in marriage, and the child was not her husband's, and she felt that Le Ying (played by Jia Ling) helped her as a matter of course for a negative image.
She wanted Le Ying to transfer the house to her name, but she didn't have the gesture of asking someone to do anything at all.
also fought with her on the spot, and she was completely a villain girl.
Yang Zi's interpretation of Doudou thought that he would play the role of a laugh in the film.
But after watching the film, I realized that Doudou was just a bad woman who used Le Ying's sympathy to help her turn positive.
Through malicious editing, she made Le Ying an unfilial son in everyone's eyes.
also asked the camera to shoot Le Ying's ugliest appearance, just to create a topic for himself.
And Li Xueqin's best friend is another one who robbed Le Ying's boyfriend and was pregnant with each other's children.
Hide from Le Ying and let her be her bridesmaid as a third party.
This role doesn't treat Le Ying as a human being at all.
It's also an image that doesn't make people want to laugh when they see it, but only disgusted.
Even the image of the heroine Le Ying is not positive.
She has been gnawing at home for many years, and she doesn't care about her family's feelings at all, which is also unlikeable.
The female image in "Hot and Hot" can only be summed up by everyone being a "scumbag".
02
The subject matter is superficial
When Jia Ling was promoting the movie, she posted a long article mentioning that she had lost 100 pounds.
But then he told the audience that "Hot and Hot" is not a movie about weight loss.
This film is adapted from "100 Yuan Love", and the main theme of the original work is that the heroine finds herself through boxing.
On the surface, Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" also retains this theme after its adaptation.
The biggest attraction and suspense of movies in the world.
is still Le Ying, played by Jia Ling, who has changed from a fat man of more than 200 pounds to a muscular woman of more than 100 pounds.
What contributed to Le Ying's transformation was the unfriendliness of her family.
It is the use of distant relatives, but also the cheating of the boyfriend and the betrayal of the girlfriend.
and the new boyfriend who lives together does not recognize her identity.
This is like a domestic TV series that has been complained about by everyone.
The heroine has always experienced emotional setbacks, and she can't stand up without a little emotional injury.
"Hot and Hot" is also because of such an opportunity, so Le Ying decided to change.
But under the guise of finding oneself, the inner theme is still "thinness is the foundation of everything".
Le Ying before she lost weight, no matter how her sister bullied herself.
Even if she had just beaten her with a blue nose and swollen face, she got up and signed the real estate transfer form.
Obviously, I have seen Doudou's malicious editing and made her an unfilial daughter.
She still relented because of Doudou's few words and continued to help her act.
And when her boyfriend cheated on her best friend, because her best friend wanted her to be a bridesmaid for her.
When he broke the rumors that he was a junior, he still didn't have the slightest temper to do it.
Even her new boyfriend Haokun (played by Lei Jiayin) didn't take her to heart at all.
It's just a plaything that she can't look down on, and she's willing to be toyed with.
All this is because Le Ying is fat, has low self-esteem, and does not dare to raise her head when she goes out.
Everything is like a promise.
It wasn't until she lost weight that she learned how to refuse, and everything depends on her mood, rather than blindly pleasing her.
This is tantamount to conveying a kind of idea that girls are anxious when they are fat and thin can be their own.
It fuels the atmosphere of body anxiety and appearance anxiety.
Fat girls can also be confident, they can also chase their dreams, and they don't have to be thin to choose to be themselves.
The theme of "Hot and Hot" itself is biased, and it's no wonder that the audience understands it as a weight loss movie.
03
Forcibly tear gas
"Hot and Hot" doesn't seem to talk about family affection, but in fact, the structure is very similar to "Hello, Li Huanying".
In the early stage, it was still mainly funny, and in the later stage, it began to sensationalize, so that Le Ying, who had practiced boxing for a year, was chased after all kinds of fights.
The moment she fell to the ground, all the hardships she encountered were repeated in the form of memories.
used this to poke the audience's tears, but in fact, looking at these sufferings, it was completely Le Ying's own effort.
She can not be used to her sister, or she can cheat and betray her boyfriend and girlfriends.
It is more important to stop the loss in time after seeing the true face of Haokun.
However, low self-esteem turned her into a person with no dignity, who was bullied and slaughtered.
I don't know how to fight back, such a person is pitiful and hateful.
And these viewers who gave bad reviews obviously saw the hard wounds in "Hot and Hot".
After watching Jia Ling's new movie, I finally understood Wu Jing's words.
Wu Jing mentioned that a high box office does not mean that his level is high.
After he won the Chinese box office championship in "Wolf Warrior 2", he was worried that his knowledge and experience could not keep up.
is not in a hurry to make a new film, but to make up for what he is missing.
After that, Wu Jing did not take advantage of the popularity to shoot "Wolf Warrior III", nor did he independently direct a new movie.
Instead, he carefully picked the script, and successively handed over high-quality films such as "Changjin Lake" and "The Wandering Earth", which became a word-of-mouth guarantee.
On the other hand, when Jia Ling filmed "Hello, Li Huanying", she was accused of filming technical pediatrics.
In "Hot and Hot", there are even fewer amazing shots.
And the presentation technique is the same, the main comedy in the early stage, and the main tears in the later stage, without any innovation.
It is undeniable that Jia Ling, who has lost 100 pounds, is indeed very powerful, and she has also paid a lot for the film.
But the weight loss was successful, and Jia Ling's level as a director is still a lot behind.
Maybe "Hot and Hot" can still win a high box office.
But in the end, word-of-mouth may not always be able to maintain a score of 7.9.
What do you think about this? What kind of movie does "Hot and Hot" have in your mind?
