Today is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the 6th day of the Spring Festival stall. "Hello, Li Huanying" broke 2.1 billion yuan in the 5 days of release, and Jia Ling became the highest-grossing female director in China.
Douban 8.2 has won the box office championship for many consecutive days, and Jia Ling's directing potential is really amazing.
This is unexpected by most people, and many people in the pre-sale stage assert that the box office champion of the Spring Festival file is not "Tang Detective 3". The opening 978 million box office pre-sale broke a number of film records, and the first day of 1.05 billion box office stunned countless movie fans.
Unfortunately, "Tang Detective 3" lost to word of mouth, Douban started 6.5, and fell to 5.8 in just 5 days, which was close to a bad film. Under the influence of word of mouth, "Tang Detective 3" plunged at the box office and was powerless after being successfully surpassed by "Li Huanying".
Now "Li Huanying" is a big family, and the Japanese box office is crushing "Tang Detective 3", and the other 5 movies are even more difficult to match. In terms of box office, it can be said that it is safe to sit back.
However, "Li Huanying" has a lot of controversy in terms of word of mouth, many people think that the quality of the film can only be said to be OK, Douban 8.2 is really exaggerated. The reason why I can get a high score is because I am "moving people with emotion", and more is the emotional bonus.
"Hello, Li Huanying" is poor in comedy, the few laughs have nothing to do with the main plot, many bridge sections are dispensable, basically N unsuccessful sketch collections.
What really drives the reputation is the reversal of the ending, which successfully reversed the audience's emotions in the first 1 hour, sublimated from Jia Ling's love for her mother to her mother who loves Jia Ling more, poking the fans to cry, and is known as the best crying movie in 2021.
Without this reversal, the Douban score of "Li Huanying" is difficult to break 7, at most it is a mediocre work, and the 2.1 billion box office cannot be talked about.
However, even this most essential reversal scene has exploded a plagiarism scandal! Some fans found that the bridge section resembled the 2010 Korean movie "Happy Family".
"Happy Family", also known as "Happy Ghost Upper Body", is a 2010 comedy film starring Cha Tae-hyun. It is told that the "orphan" Shang Wan was put on the body of the ghost after the failure of suicide, and repeatedly appeared in public under the manipulation of the ghost, making a lot of jokes. In order to make the ghosts leave him, Shang Wan decided to help them realize their wishes.
The film's Douban score of 8.6 is a classic, mainly driven by the word of mouth of the last reversal.
At the end of the movie, the reversal appears, and Shang Wan suddenly recalls that he is not an "orphan", and the 4 little ghosts who possess him are his family, his parents, his grandfather and brother, who unfortunately lost his life in a car accident, leaving Shang Wan alone in the world.
The family loves Shangwan, so he incarnates as a "little ghost" to possess Shangwan and lets him do everything in order to better protect him.
Jia Ling's "Li Huanying" ending reversal is suspected of plagiarizing this movie, eating, crying and running, going to find, reversing and other scenes are almost exactly the same as this film.
Even the script structure, character design, details interspersed, and theme expression of "Li Huanying" seem to be deliberately imitating "Happy Family", Zhang Xiaofei's motherly eyes are the same as Shang Wan's mother's concern and nagging, and the theme of "Mother Actually Loves You More" is almost exactly the same as "Happy Family" "Family Actually Loves You More".
Speaking of Jia Ling, she is also a "habitual offender" of plagiarism, from participating in comedy programs to establishing a big bowl of entertainment fame, Jia Ling's many sketches have been picked out and plagiarized, and some works are even exactly the same as the original.
The Spring Festival Gala sketch "Joy Street" copied South Korea's "Pole and Pole", the happy comedian sketch "Unjust Memory" copied a sketch of Han Zong's "Laughing Man", "Doraemon" was suspected of plagiarizing the Japanese movie "Doraemon walking with you", "Island Love" cooperated with Zheng Kai was highly similar to the Korean drama "Dream Apartment", and the Spring Festival Gala sketch "True and False Teacher" was similar to "Growing Pains" Episode 89.
Jia Ling is definitely true love for her mother, but it is inappropriate to miss the tribute in this way, hoping that all this is just a crash and not a plagiarism, otherwise Jia Ling will really go too far.
