At the Hundred Flowers Award Nomination Ceremony, "Hot and Hot" was like a bright star, attracting countless eyeballs.
This work, directed and acted by Jia Ling, won two heavyweight nominations for Best Director and Best Actress in one fell swoop, which is really a double happiness.
Since "Hello, Li Huanying", Jia Ling has once again shown her extraordinary talent and strength in the field of film with the proud results of double nominations.
Since its release, "Hot and Hot" has quickly conquered the audience with its unique charm, and both the box office and word of mouth have shown a trend of popularity.
However, despite the film's popularity, the possibility of winning the award has sparked a heated debate in the industry.
Some critics sharply pointed out that the success of "Hot and Hot" cannot be ignored by the credit of marketing methods.
This seems to be somewhat incompatible with the artistic value and professional evaluation standards that the Hundred Flowers Award has always advocated.
You must know that among the five major awards in the Chinese film industry, although the Hundred Flowers Award is not the pearl at the top of the pyramid, its gold content should not be underestimated.
For a filmmaker, being recognized by the Hundred Flowers Award is undoubtedly a high affirmation of his professional ability.
The story of "Hot and Hot" is inspired by the Japanese movie "100 Yuan Love".
After Jia Ling purchased the copyright, she carefully adapted the original script.
On the basis of retaining the framework of the original play, she not only skillfully incorporated more elements that meet the tastes of domestic audiences, but also made bold innovations in details.
This ingenious adaptation not only demonstrates Jia Ling's unique insights in filmmaking, but also shows her talent for understanding and reinterpreting the original work.
It is worth mentioning that Jia Ling's image in the film has changed greatly, especially the significant change in weight, which has become a hot topic after dinner.
Many viewers admitted that they walked into the cinema largely because they were attracted by this dramatic change in Jia Ling, rather than just to appreciate her acting skills.
This also triggers people's deep thinking about the charm of movies from another angle: is it the charm of acting that is better, or other external factors are more attractive? It is undeniable that Jia Ling's image change has gone beyond the scope of pure artistic expression, and is more regarded as a clever marketing strategy.
However, some commentators unceremoniously pointed out that Jia Ling's performance in "Hot and Hot" did not seem to meet people's expectations.
Especially in the second half of the film, when the audience's attention is more drawn to her weight loss process, one can't help but ask: are we enjoying a movie or watching a visual feast? If acting skills are not the core criterion for awards, is it really appropriate for Jia Ling to be nominated for the "Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress"? .
Although Jia Ling's directorial career is still young, the cumulative box office of her works has exceeded the staggering 8 billion mark.
This achievement is enough to prove her keen insight into the market and accurate grasp of audience preferences.
However, we also have to admit that her success seems to depend more on a precise grasp of the market than on being otherworldly in terms of directing or acting.
As the well-known director Wang Jing said in an interview with "Round Table Pie", future comedy films will pay more attention to the integration of human feelings.
And Jia Ling's work has undoubtedly taken a solid step forward in this regard.
But we must realize that although the box office is an important indicator of a film's success, it is the film's plot, acting and the depth of the script that can really move people's hearts.
Audiences are looking forward not only to the soaring box office figures, but also to the continuous improvement of the artwork in terms of innovation and artistry.
Jia Ling's efforts and achievements in the film industry are indeed commendable, but her works still need to be improved in terms of artistic depth and performance.
We look forward to the days to come, she will continue to break through herself in film production and acting, reduce her reliance on marketing gimmicks, and truly realize the core competitiveness of work quality, and bring more in-depth and artistic masterpieces to the audience."
