Jia Ling, an actress who measures her life with comedy, has swept the Chinese comedy circle with her unique laughter and style.
But recently, as Jia Ling posted a photo with Wu Yanzu on Weibo, the huge change in appearance has attracted widespread attention and discussion.
Her skin was not as firm as it used to be, and her eyes seemed to have lost the vitality of the past.
Her weight-loss countenance was a far cry from her comedic image, and seemed to signal a turning point in her career.
Born in cross talk, she has entered sketches and movies, and has won the love of the audience with her infinite sense of humor and natural performances, Jia Ling's life is so colorful, her influence spans from the small screen to the big screen, from radio theaters to cinemas across the country, her name has become synonymous with comedy.
Now, though, Jia Ling seems intent on letting go of her comedic image that made her famous.
Jia Ling not only lost a lot of weight, but she looked even more tired and powerless in front of the camera, which once became a hot topic of discussion and worry among netizens.
Her comedic persona seems to be slowly dissipating.
In addition, Jia Ling's latest project, "Flowers of Thought", is clearly no longer a light-hearted comedy style, but focuses on more serious social realist themes.
This sudden change makes one wonder what kind of mental journey is being experienced.
Director Wang Jing once commented on Stephen Chow, he mentioned that when a person reaches a certain age, his mentality will change, and it will be difficult to accept his funny appearance on the screen.
Jia Ling's current changes may be part of her personal development and a reflection of her inner world.
She has come a long way in the realm of comedy, and maybe it's time to try a new path and break new ground.
Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Shen Teng and others have also made similar changes, looking for and showing a richer artistic dimension in addition to comedy.
Today's Jia Ling is also taking such a path.
While proving to the audience that she is more than just a comedian with a great sense of humor, she is also exploring the wider field of acting.
Although this transformation may make some viewers who love Jia Ling's comedic image feel regretful, such a jump also shows the courage and maturity of an artist.
In the future, Jia Ling may embark on a different path from the past, but on the new road of drama, the charm and talent she can show may bring new surprises to the audience.
Life is constantly changing, and the choices of artists are also part of the colorful life.
In the face of unknown challenges and new starting points, I hope Jia Ling can find her own happiness and joy no matter what twists and turns she goes through, just like her role in the movie.
We bless her behind the scenes, and look forward to more wonderful works from her in front of the screen.
