Text丨Horse walks the day
I don't know if you still remember, the Jia Ling who amused you in variety shows and the Spring Festival Gala.
At the beginning, she bounced on the stage with her humor and high emotional intelligence for so many years, and gained the love of many people, which can be said to have welded the label "pistachio" to herself.
The line "The goddess and the female man, only one word is missing" went all the way from the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala to the streets and alleys, and forced the national audience to remember this girl who can tell jokes vividly.
Jia Ling has become a drama actor from a sketch actor over the years, and from a drama actor to her current directorial position.
For comedic effect, she can go from a skinny girl to more than 200 pounds. For the realism of the movie, she can also return to her perfect figure from more than 200 pounds.
is such an inspirational actress, why is there still abuse around her?
And there was no one in the variety show, and the Spring Festival Gala stage also missed the appointment. Jia Ling moved "who" cake? Or did something to anger the masses?
Inspirational fat girl
In 2000, Jia Ling was beautiful and young at that time. For the dream of being an actor, she applied for the acting major of the Central Academy of Drama, and when she filled in the acting major, she easily checked the two alternatives of drama and cross talk, just in case she couldn't get into the acting major.
On the day the list of the acting department was released, she didn't find her name, but she received a call from the admissions office saying that the two alternative majors were willing to accept her.
Interestingly, Jia Ling's mother, Li Huanying, answered the phone in a Hubei accent, and her thick dialect made the teacher listen to "drama" as "comedy".
In this way, she sent her daughter to the newly established Chinese opera cross talk class, and became a rare girl among the students in that class.
Jia Ling, who chose a professional by mistake, not only did not get discouraged, but also worked very hard.
In her junior year, she caught up with the cross talk sketch competition in Beijing, and she broke into the field where comedy masters gathered, and the 10-day competition was stunned to overpower Guo Degang and Yu Qian, the old partners, and won the first place.
After graduation, Jia Ling followed Feng Gong to learn art, and at that time, Jia Ling's family felt that this girl was going to make a name for herself in the literary and artistic world.
But the reality has poured a basin of cold, the comedy circle is a man's world, Jia Ling recalled that when she first entered the comedy circle, it was like walking into a men's bathhouse by mistake.
Jia Ling, who thought that the future was bright, didn't expect that there was so little work that she couldn't take over, and finally had the opportunity to perform on stage, but the money in her hand was less than half of that of the male actor, and it was common to even find a women's locker room backstage.
But this Jia Ling's bones are full of stubbornness, and in the years when she lived in a Hutong bungalow, she acted in vain in the snow in order to make up the monthly rent, and directly put down the words: It's not funny, and you don't take a penny.
Sometimes she also acts as an assistant to carry prop boxes, and when she can't open the pot, Jia Ling even sends MP3s to the pawnshop for money.
Jia Ling's sister saw that she was so difficult, and kept persuading her to go back to her hometown.
But Jia Ling just didn't move, vowing to get ahead, she didn't believe that in such a big comedy circle in the entertainment industry, she couldn't get ahead as an actress.
Until 2008, Jia Ling took her self-created cool comedy "Big Talk Tease" partner Bai Kainan to perform more than 80 times in a row, and the audience was full of applause.
Cross talk master Jiang Kun watched their performances and directly sent them to the Spring Festival Gala.
Jia Ling, the fat girl with pigtails, stood in front of the national audience, not only won the third prize of quyi, but now no one can deny that she broke the shackles of women in the cross talk world.
Later, in the variety show "Variety Show", Jia Ling imitated Li Yuchun, played Aunt Xue, and played the legend of Phoenix, and her funny talent was fully brought into play.
At that time, the audience also laughed and praised: This girl is good at everything except being fat.
There is a return to play Xiaoqian to scare away Ning Caichen, she chews chili peppers and pours beer to pretend to be ugly and self-deprecating, and fully devotes herself to the role to make the audience laugh and cry.
This fat girl was stunned and relied on all her skills to roll all the way from the cross talk stage to the comedy rivers and lakes.
Just like Chen Peisi once said, comedy is to use my humility to win the audience's laughter.
Jia Ling also said: I don't have a face problem, the responsibility of a comedian is to make you happy.
Just when everyone thought that Jia Ling was the same as the stage in reality, she was stupid and stupid, and Jia Ling directly subverted everyone's cognition.
Because the stage is too expensive for Jia Ling, who has suffered hardships, being just a comedian has not brought a sense of security.
In 2016, Jia Ling established "Big Bowl Entertainment".
signed Zhang Xiaofei, Xu Juncong, He Huan and the gang, and after tossing "Happy Comedian", he participated in "Comedy Story".
And Jia Ling's ambition is far more than just on the stage, she also wants to be a director. But she didn't expect that this was also the beginning of her transformation from those applause to doubts and ridicule.
Box office miracle with negative reviews
On February 12, 2021, Jia Ling made the word-of-mouth sketch "Hello, Li Huanying" into a movie, which won 5.4 billion box office after its release, firmly sitting in the third place in film history, and by the way, Zhang Xiaofei became the pinnacle of her life.
The audience praised her debut film hard enough, and she had to bring a tissue into the theater to watch it.
But the operation of the postponement of the latter movie has pulled a bunch of negative comments.
The first postponement has already caused controversy, when the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" exceeded 5.4 billion, and seeing that it was more than 200 million away from "Wolf Warrior 2", the filmmaker simply continued his life twice.
can be postponed, the movie only won 7 million box office in 10 days, and the daily income of the box office is gradually decreasing, even if it is postponed to next year, it will not be able to win the first place.
The box office of 5.4 billion is already a lot, and Jia Ling herself doesn't know how many billions she can share, so she made a second postponement.
The second time it should have been directly switched to online free broadcasting, which can not only attract audiences to revisit but also enhance word-of-mouth.
The result is still the same, it really responds to the sentence: things must be reversed, and I really can't be scolded for this broken silver.
Then netizens also found out that "Hello, Li Huanying" is not an original work at all, saying that Jia Ling is remaking other people's ideas under the banner of missing her mother.
Then Jia Ling disappeared from the stuffy head for a whole year in retreat filming to lose weight, and forcibly refined herself into the reborn appearance in "Hot and Hot".
High-intensity training combined with intensive bombardment marketing hangs the audience's appetite to the throat.
The result failed to achieve the expected effect, and it was difficult for the audience not to have a psychological gap.
Someone picked up that "Hot and Hot" is also a remake, and the weight loss marketing is too much, which exposes the fact that the creation is weak.
And when Jia Ling was interviewed at that time, she revealed a little too much that she wanted to set up an independent heroine, so as to overturn the past personality.
From "Hello Li Huanying" secretly changing the original concept to postpone the release, to "Hot and Hot" using weight loss as a box office elixir, such a marketing routine can be said to have pierced the idea of audience trust.
Jia Ling's box office success is a big success, and there are more and more people who hate her, some people say that she is a movie liar, and some people say that she is simply a circle of money.
Despite this, even if Jia Ling shows her true self, she will also be hacked by netizens.
Jia Ling's truth
In 2014, when Jia Ling recorded the variety show "Blood Falls from the Sky", the whole network was saying that she was again: even if she is fat, she is lazy and plays a big name.
But the reality is that it is a malicious editing by the program team, only keeping her lazy picture to mislead the audience, but it is actually the picture of the program team arranging her to rest after the recording.
still remembers the scene when Jia Ling heroically rescued Liu Yan, at Bao Bell's wedding, someone suddenly made a crooked suggestion, and then many people began to lean on Liu Yan and wanted to push Liu Yan off the pool.
Liu Yan was wearing a cool bandeau outfit at that time, and if he fell into the pool, he would definitely walk away.
Seeing this, Jia Ling immediately got in front of Liu Yan with the taste of joking, so as to avoid this embarrassing moment, not only to keep Liu Yan's dignity, but also not to break with those men.
and in "Ace vs. Ace", a guest danced Luhan's dance, and Guan Xiaotong was very embarrassed at that time.
After the jump, the audience's eyes also looked at Guan Xiaotong, and then Jia Ling saved the scene again: No, when it comes to Lu Han, what do you think I do!
It can be said that Jia Ling has a high emotional intelligence, and she always helps others solve the siege at critical moments, and it is precisely because of this that her popularity has always been good.
Looking back at these controversies, in fact, they are not only a projection of the changing direction of the market, but also a deepening gap between public figures and ordinary people.
Now Jia Ling, who appears as a director, is no longer deliberately funny, and chooses to use movies to convey real emotions.
The moment when the mother and daughter hug each other in "Hello, Li Huanying" makes people's eyes hot, and the process of the characters getting rid of fat in "Hot and Hot" is exciting, these screen touches all come from Jia Ling's heart-to-heart creation.
Jia Ling is separated from her identity as a comedian to face public scrutiny, and the doubts will not disappear. In any case, we should also respect everyone behind the stage. It's okay to question it, but don't criticize it.
