is neither an artist nor a masterpiece, why did Jia Ling let her play "Hot and Hot"

Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" has been going all the way and is still firmly in the top spot of the mainland box office list in 2024.

Compared with "Hello, Li Huanying", the momentum of "Hot and Hot" is even more violent.

On the first day of release, it was also surrounded by strong people, "Hello, Li Huanying" won 290 million, but "Hot and Hot" soared to 410 million.

Jia Ling, who made the audience wait for three years, did not disappoint everyone.

Although the current overwhelming publicity is focused on Jia Ling's weight loss.

But the success of this movie is not only because Jia Ling lost 100 pounds.

She made a precise layout for this movie, and it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into the selection of each actor.

Although compared with Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", the actors of "Hot and Hot" are not so big.

But it can also be called an all-star lineup.

Xu Juncong, who played the lewd hotel owner in the film, once starred in "Miracle Stupid Child".

Qiao Shan, the scummy and greasy ex-boyfriend, played Jia Ling's father in "Hello, Li Huanying".

and the gym owner Sha Yi, who is a well-known comedian.

Last year's Spring Festival file just proved his acting skills with the sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth 2".

The actor not only has a lot of background, but his image and temperament are also very suitable for the characters in the play.

For example, the best friend played by Li Xueqin is not much different from Jia Ling in the film.

But the look of heavy makeup looks very exquisite.

can be coquettish, enough green tea, and the appearance does not seem to meet the junior standard in the eyes of the public.

But this style and personality are playing San'er alive.

Changing to another actor to portray this role is likely to be annoying.

But Li Xueqin will not, an unlikable image, can still be performed by her.

Whether it's flirting with Qiao Shan in a pink leopard print dress, or teasing Le Ying to look at her phone.

Kneeling directly in the next second can amuse everyone.

is also apt for Ms. Li played by Zhao Haiyan, who has a face when she is a child.

It's another face to his old man.

The front foot said that he would make ribs for his daughter at night, and the old man on the back foot said that he would eat pork ribs, and splitting his head and covering his face was a scolding.

Zhao Haiyan played the role vividly.

is not only the acting skills in place, but also the appearance and appearance make people feel very immersed.

However, what really deserves to be called a stroke of genius is the restaurant worker played by Shen Chunyang.

There are not many appearances, but with his outstanding acting skills, he played the role very funny.

But Jia Ling's choice of Shen Chunyang is really a bit surprising.

She is neither an artist under Jia Ling, nor does she have any masterpieces.

In recent years, there have been few opportunities to appear in the public eye, why did Jia Ling let her play "Hot and Hot"?

First, a loyal fan of "Country Love".

Viewers who have watched "Ace vs. Ace" don't know if they still remember what Jia Ling once said.

Are you a loyal fan of "Country Love"?

Jia Ling is a comedian, so she naturally has access to many comedians in the circle.

As a leading figure in the comedy industry, Zhao Benshan is a senior respected by everyone.

"Country Love", as a pension drama created by Zhao Benshan for his apprentices, has unprecedented influence.

The actors in the play have also become familiar actors.

And Jia Ling has a good relationship with Zhao Benshan's apprentices in private.

Therefore, in self-directed and self-acted movies, Zhao Benshan's apprentice can often be seen.

For example, in the debut film "Hello, Li Huanying", Ge Shanshan, who played Wang Yun in "Country Love", made a cameo appearance as Wang Guixiang, a friend of young Li Huanying.

Just the back of the head, which is missing a piece of hair, can fill the comedic effect.

Not to mention seeing Ge Shanshan's domineering appearance in the cinema.

How funny it was when the hair flew away and snorted.

In addition, Wang Xiaoli and Song Xiaofeng can also be seen in this movie.

The two got together and immediately made people wear "Country Love".

Even if they don't have any lines in the film and there aren't many shots, just looking at these two faces can be poked and laughed.

And Jia Ling, who has experience in cooperating with Zhao Benshan's apprentices, naturally knows where their advantages are.

Therefore, in "Hot and Hot", we saw Zhao Haiyan in "Country Love".

and Shen Chunyang, who is also Zhao Benshan's apprentice.

This kind of dreamy linkage casting also adds a lot of gimmicks to the movie.

Second, it is cheap and easy to use, and the performance is down-to-earth

But Jia Ling's liking to cooperate with Zhao Benshan's apprentice is only one aspect.

The internal reason is still that these actors are cheap and easy to use, and the performances are very down-to-earth.

As a national teacher, Zhang Yimou can bring together all the stars and big names in the entertainment industry.

If Jia Ling does not have the "money ability", it is difficult to rely on her own popularity to gather such a lineup.

Except for Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, who made a free cameo.

Most of the actors are not so famous, and small coffee comedians are Jia Ling's first choice.

Although Shen Chunyang's popularity is limited, she is not even as famous as her husband Xiao Shenyang.

But her acting skills are not inferior to celebrities at all, and she is very down-to-earth, making it easier to get closer to the audience.

Shen Chunyang had short hair when he appeared, and he looked a little messy, not a delicate beauty.

But even so, she was still harassed and rubbed by the hotel owner.

This is undoubtedly a reminder to the audience that bad guys don't see people serving dishes, but do evil indiscriminately.

But Shen Chunyang played more than that, and making the audience laugh for a few minutes is her true level.

Harassed by the boss, she worked hard, and the boss said that she was smeared with oil, and she replied that the salary was too low to afford it.

When the boss wanted to send her to the back kitchen and sarcastically ridiculed her for having a lot of oil, she also used the boss's head to fight back with more oil.

The brain is bright, the character is witty, and Shen Chunyang's small expression is in place.

The image of the damaged and powerful little clerk was firmly established.

And the first time she met Le Ying, when she introduced herself, she originally introduced her four-character name in Mandarin.

Seeing that Le Ying didn't react, her Mandarin immediately changed to a northeast accent, "Everyone calls me Xizi", this accent is really no one.

Not only that, but this character is still sober in the world, and when he learned that it was the gym owner who went for a walk.

In one sentence, the other party asked her to apply for a card, which is simply a clever ghost.

Shen Chunyang plays the role like a clerk in a restaurant in daily life.

looks mediocre, but his humorous character is very charismatic, and Shen Chunyang's acting is too close to life!

These two reasons alone gave Jia Ling no reason not to use Shen Chunyang.

Now it seems that Shen Chunyang has indeed used it correctly!

So, which actor in the film impressed you the most?
