As we all know, at the beginning of this year, Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" set off a movie storm across the country, earning 3.4 billion yuan in box office revenue, which is really jaw-dropping. However, at that time, this movie was also a little confusing, and how the cost of 300 million was spent is still a mystery.
Speaking of which, when this movie was released, my friends around me were eager to try it and flocked to the cinema one after another, just to see Jia Ling's masterpiece. After watching it, everyone was full of praise, saying how good this movie is and how it touches people's hearts. I also went to see one, and it was really good, quite interesting.
But it didn't last long. No, it didn't take long for all kinds of doubts to appear on the Internet. At the beginning, the female audiences who claimed to be "awakened" seem to have come back to their senses and begin to question whether Jia Ling is playing us for fools. This change is really laughable.
I wondered, what is going on with this movie? Why was it praised in the sky at first, and now it has been trampled under the feet again? Is there really anything wrong with this movie? Or is it that the audience simply likes the new and hates the old?
In any case, the box office results of this movie are obvious to all, 3.4 billion, which is not a small amount. This is enough to show that Jia Ling's movie still touched the hearts of the audience to some extent. As for those doubts, maybe it's just a sense of disparity caused by the audience's high expectations for the movie.
But then again, the image of women in this film is really worth exploring. In the beginning, everyone felt that these female characters were models of women in the new era, independent and daring to pursue their dreams. But now it seems that these images are a bit stereotyped, even a little false. It got me thinking, do we really need such a "perfect" female figure, or do we prefer to see real, flesh-and-blood female characters?
The success of this movie has undoubtedly raised Jia Ling's status in the industry. But now, those accolades and accolades seem to be in vain. People began to question her true talent and motivations. I wondered, if Jia Ling can withstand the pressure and continue to stick to her creative ideas, will her future works be even better? Or will she be crushed by these doubts and never recover?
At the same time, I also noticed the work of other female directors. The audience began to compare the female images and themes in different works, trying to find a more realistic and three-dimensional female character. This makes me quite interesting, and it shows that the audience is beginning to pay attention to the creation of female images in films. This is undoubtedly a good start for the entire film industry!
This controversy over the film has also further enhanced Jia Ling's commercial value. All kinds of advertising endorsements and brand cooperation have come to the door. It seems that this turmoil has not affected Jia Ling's career development, but has brought her more opportunities and challenges!
Looking back now, those "awakened" female audiences who supported Jia Ling at the beginning are now questioning and criticizing the movie, and they think that some of the plots and characters in the movie are too exaggerated and stereotyped, what is going on? Is there something wrong with Jia Ling's creative concept, or is the audience's expectations too high? This question is worth pondering!
In the face of this sudden controversy, some of Jia Ling's friends and partners also stood up for her, they supported Jia Ling's creative concept, and called on the audience to give her more understanding and tolerance, which made me see the power of friendship and teamwork! Although their voices seemed a little weak in this storm of public opinion, at least they dared to stand up and speak for Jia Ling, which was enough!
In the end, the controversy about Jia Ling's films gradually subsided, but people's attention to women's films and images continued to heat up, and became one of the important issues in future film creation, what kind of impact did this controversy bring to Jia Ling? We don't know, but can she learn from it and create better works? Let's wait and see!
This controversy also made me think about the balance between artistic freedom and social responsibility. As an art form, film should not only pursue artistry, but also assume certain social responsibilities, so how to take into account the needs of gender equality and diversity while respecting artistic creation? This is indeed a topic worthy of in-depth discussion!
In the face of criticism, Jia Ling said that she would deeply reflect on her creative concept and pay more attention to the diversity and authenticity of female images in her future works, such an attitude is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, but it will take time to verify whether it can be put into practice, but I believe that as long as Jia Ling can persevere, she will definitely create better works to respond to this controversy!
