Seeing that the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, this year's Spring Festival stalls are the hottest year in recent years, some people have raised high-rise buildings and some buildings have collapsed, but in general, this year's Spring Festival movies are much stronger than last year in terms of box office and movie quality. This year, comedian Jia Ling took her for more than a year, carrying her own transformed movie "Hot and Hot", and in this Spring Festival, she competed with "Flying Life 2" starring Han Han director Shen Teng, and even took a slight lead.
For this movie, there are performances and criticisms, as far as my viewing experience is concerned, the biggest focus of this movie is Jia Ling's transformation through the character of Du Leying, if Du Leying is replaced by another actor to play, or an audience who doesn't know Jia Ling to watch this movie, there is a high probability that his perception will not be so strong, that is to say, if it is not for Jia Ling to act, this movie can also give 5 points, it is precisely because of Jia Ling's starring role that the dramatic contradictions of this movie have been extended to a greater extent, and this movie can reach more than 8 points。
About the character of Du Leying
The movie "Hot and Hot" is based on the changes before and after weight loss of the character Du Leying to narrate the story. Du Leying in this movie has been staying at home since graduation, and her basic daily life is to eat and drink and not go out to work, and her parents run a supermarket to support her. With no major worries every day and an extremely regular life, she quickly became fat.
Du Leying herself can turn a blind eye to this change in herself, but other people around her have also changed a lot emotionally about her changes. Her own sister had to go back to her parents' house to help take care of the supermarket because of marital derailment, she hated her sister's life state of being able to eat and drink at home without experiencing life, because she herself had no chance to enjoy this life, she had tasted the bitterness of life, and she could only vent her helpless anger and regret on this sister who seemed heartless.
Du Leying's cousin almost used deception to bring Du Leying to the recording site of the show for her own chance to become a regular, and used sarcasm and ridicule of her relatives to gain traffic. Du Leying's ex-boyfriend cheated on her best friend and had children, and she even went to be a bridesmaid at their wedding.
What gave Du Leying the final blow was the fitness coach Haokun who had worked hard for him, and finally told his colleagues that this was not his girlfriend or an ordinary student. The boxer fitness coach Hao Kun in this movie is actually a character image worth savoring, Lei Jiayin interprets this character more than eighty percent, and can create this character so that the audience can send swear words to their mouths and think about it carefully and swallow it.
Du Leying, played by Jia Ling, is conveying a value to the audience in this whole movie, that is, to recognize reality and the truth of life. Du Leying was reluctant to recognize the truth of life from the beginning, she still likes to hide in her own closed space and communicate with her familiar and comfortable environment, but when everyone is changing, you will be abandoned by life, maybe there is an exception, that is, her biological parents, Jia Ling left the rare family warmth in this movie to the parents of the characters, and it can be seen that this is also Jia Ling's last psychological defense.
Let's talk about the character of Haokun, why I think this character is good, because he echoes the theme of the movie very well, recognizes the truth of life, and recognizes reality. The character of Haokun works as a boxing coach in a fitness shop, and he has always shirked the boss's task of selling cards, and has always thought that he is a talented and outstanding boxer, and he has always lacked a chance to stand out. But when he took the opportunity to play for him and gave up all his efforts at the last moment, God also decided to have a showdown with him, it turns out that you are nothing, tear off the fig leaf of self-effort, it turns out to be mediocre after all.
Haokun, who was knocked down by a punch, finally found that his so-called persistence and dreams for so many years were nothing, and he was just a person who ate soft rice, so he embarked on the fate of moving bricks on the construction site. Love is like water, when he saw the transformed Du Leying, he was first panicked and ashamed, but after seeing Du Leying boxing, he thought that it was because of her old love that he still had a chance, but unfortunately the reality made people after all, and it was a song to describe it as love is over.
Developability in plot design
As I said at the beginning, if this movie were played by someone else, it would definitely not be so topical, and it would not have been as popular as it is now. The overall structure of this movie is relatively simple, the dramatic conflict is relatively simple, although there is a careful plan at the end, and it does not really let Du Leying win the professional fighter, but overall the structure is relatively mediocre.
It is worth mentioning that I think the role of the gym owner played by Sha Yi can be dug deeper. Why does a gym have to participate in boxing matches, and why does he give Du Leying a place in the competition?
These can create a deeper image of a boxer, which can make this character more plump, not just a philistine seen on the screen. Of course, it still depends on whether it meets the requirements of the overall work.
