The behind-the-scenes documentary of "Hot and Hot", which fans have been looking forward to, is finally going to meet the audience, and it is confirmed that it will be launched on the platform from April 16. This is almost 2 months later than the original plan to launch on February 22.
And this documentary is scheduled to be announced on April 9, the movie will be officially released on February 10, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and April 10 is just one month after the key is postponed, and the official release date, combined with these three time points, it can be determined that it is definitely not a coincidence, it can only be said that Jia Ling, who has always refused to admit defeat, still bowed to reality.
Let's talk about Jia Ling's refusal to admit defeat first.
The first point of her refusal to admit defeat is to insist on playing a good role as a new female director.
Human success may be accidental, but this kind of accident does not happen twice. "Hello, Li Huanying" was successful, many people said that Jia Ling was lucky at the right time, in the right place, and lucky; the self-directed and self-starred "Hot and Hot" was successful again, with a box office of 3.46 billion, everyone should face up to Jia Ling's success, admit her excellence, and no longer be prejudiced against female new directors.
The second point of her refusal to admit defeat is to be brave enough to change herself and challenge herself.
No matter what everyone evaluates, Jia Ling's filming of "Hot and Hot" to lose 100 pounds is amazing! This kind of persistence and perseverance is difficult for ordinary people to do, from the string of words in the "Weight Loss Diary" at the end of the movie, it is not difficult to see how difficult it is for Jia Ling to lose 100 pounds, which requires extraordinary faith and perseverance to do it, and at the same time, this is also her sincerity to the audience, so Jia Ling succeeded, what else is there to be unconvinced?
The third point of her refusal to admit defeat is that she has always been not to compromise with public opinion, not to bow to negative evaluations, and to be brave enough to be herself.
After the release of "Hot and Hot", there were too many questioning voices, saying that she used weight loss as a gimmick, saying that she was marketing hype, and she was constantly on the hot search every day......
But if you think about it a little bit, you will understand that those hot searches are the popularity of the movie and Jia Ling itself! When everyone can see that the box office of "Hot and Hot" is moving towards 3 billion, when the movie becomes a veritable box office champion of the Spring Festival, and when no amount of bad reviews can stop the pace of the box office, is it still necessary to market hype and buy hot searches? Which propaganda company will ignore the natural traffic and spend money to buy hot searches?
Jia Ling, who has a clear conscience, has the courage to face everything, so there is the content on February 23, her first three lines are in response to the voice of questioning, those who overwhelmingly express their disgust with movie marketing methods, criticize the movie is not good-looking, and scold the big V, Jia Ling put on an attitude of "The old lady doesn't want to pay attention to you, whatever you want to say", so with the sentence "I will shoot what you see~ This is the meaning of this movie" This sentence is equivalent to "Don't bar, bar is you".
The last three lines are written to fans who support her, full of emotion and a gentle tone, "I can feel loved, and I want to give you love back", "We hold hands and explore how to live this short and long life".
In fact, at this point, Jia Ling's attitude has been very clear - you can watch my movies if you like them, and I won't force you if you don't like them, in the final analysis, movies are made for people who love me, and I give back the love to people who love me. "Hot and Hot" is Jia Ling's way of communicating with fans.
And the last sentence "It's so windy in Xinjiang this year, because of standing on the top of the mountain~" shows Jia Ling's pride. "Hot and Hot" was released for two weeks, the box office exceeded 3.1 billion, China's highest-grossing female director, and both works entered the top 20 of the Chinese film box office list.
Besides, she bowed to reality.
This kind of bowing is reflected in the fact that the documentary was delayed for almost 2 months.
This behind-the-scenes documentary lasted 20 months to follow and produce, divided into four episodes of "Adventure", "Metamorphosis", "Sprint" and "Boxer". The production, apparently, was originally intended to use the documentary as a promotional tool to boost the box office of the movie, so it was originally planned to be launched on February 22, take a look at this point in time, the movie was released for more than 20 days, the first wave of popularity ran out, and the topic of the movie itself was also promoted.
But on the day of its launch on February 22, there was no reason to postpone the broadcast, in fact, everyone understands the reason, that is, due to the influence of bad comments on the Internet, this 20-month-old documentary lost its original role in boosting the box office, and it was not launched until the cinema was released offline.
This can't help but say that Jia Ling is bowing to reality, and she also used this online time to respond to all those who questioned her marketing hype: "The movie was released after the documentary was launched, this time are you satisfied? ”
However, I can comfort myself with the fact that whether it is a movie or a documentary, it is an artistic expression that can last forever and never fade. I hope that fans who support Jia Ling can continue to support the documentary, and also look forward to the launch of the documentary, to feel the arduous process of Jia Ling losing 100 pounds, which will definitely be a great encouragement to themselves.
