"AI made it, right?"
"can you lose as much as 100 jin without cutting your stomach? Who believes it? "
I heard a lot of such voices before the movie was released.
To tell you the truth, even if Jia Ling's figure appears in the trailer after losing weight successfully, I can hardly believe that she can lose so much weight.
100 jin, what is the concept?
In the words of Lei Jiayin in the movie, it is: this is a bag of cement.
It's hard for a middle-aged man to carry a bag of cement.
Most Chinese girls range from 100 to 130, so it is very difficult to lose 10 jin at ordinary times. I can't even think of losing half of my weight.
With such doubts, I walked into the cinema on the first day of the Lunar New year.
The whole house was full.
It seems that there are a lot of people who have the same questions as me.
Unlike what I expected, not a single word in the film mentioned "lose weight".In view of the fact that the biggest gimmick about this film on the Internet is the 100 jin lost by Jia Ling, it is easy to guess that this is the story of a fat girl to lose weight.
"it's sick to spend money to watch other people lose weight."
Such sounds also occur frequently on the Internet.
But after watching the whole movie, I changed.
In the film, Jia Ling plays Le Ying, an older young woman who sits at home and waits to die.
For the sake of this house girl image, Jia Ling gained 40 jin, at least 200 jin in the film, and the flesh all over the next staircase was trembling.
When Zhang Xiaofei's sister fights with her, Jia Ling is severely pushed to the ground, really afraid that she will smash a hole in the floor.
(She worked hard enough filming. The back of her head hurt when she was hit hard.)
I refuse to look for a job except eat or sleep every day, and the business of the convenience store at home doesn't help.
No matter who looks at it, they all think the girl is too useless. No one mentioned that she was too fat and needed to lose weight.
The reason given by your boyfriend for breaking up is that "your personality has changed", not that you get fat and become ugly.
Including later on the psychological program, met the boxing coach who was interested, was teased by the barbecue shop owner... no one ever told her "you need to lose weight"
She becomes thinner and more beautiful, just a reward for firmly pursuing her inner dream.
In sharp contrast to her is Lei Jiayin's boxing coach Hao Kun.
Once she stood in front of the glass window of the boxing gym with food and watched Hao Kun fight energetically.
Later, Hao Kun stood in front of the window of the boxing gym with a cigarette, staring at Le Ying's sweaty boxing.
The camera is full of irony.
At that time and at this time, the person in the window was fighting for his dream, and the replacement of life was only between a thought.
Body anxiety? NoBefore it was released, I was actually worried that the film would be as everyone said: creating physical anxiety.
In the current network environment, but where this intention is revealed in the film, then it is a failure.
Look at the situation of the heroine Le Ying:
Her sister disliked her and coveted the property certificate left to her by her grandmother; her distant cousin used her to deceive her into losing face in public; her lover and her best friend betrayed her together; the object of her heart was abandoned at the end of her heart.
None of these injuries is because she is too fat. Even if you replace it with a skinny guy, it won't make much difference.
Jia Ling herself has been fat for so many years and has put on a label. No one criticizes her because of her physique. On the contrary, she is deeply loved by the audience because of her cheerful and lively personality.
There is no physical anxiety in the movie at all.
The awakening of Le Ying comes from the attitude that after giving with all her heart, the other party abandons her and tramples her dreams under her feet.
She dug her heart to help Haokun achieve his dream of "winning once", but Haokun accepted bribes from her opponent, hating hidden rules and accepting them willingly.
Finally, all her anger was vented on Le Ying: "what kind of home are you going home with? are you my special target?"
Le Ying just found that not everyone is qualified to pursue such things as dreams.
What's more, you should not place your desire to pursue your dreams on others.
Give up the helping complex and respect the fate of others.
And get yourself back.
Before Le Ying, she always spoke in a low voice, a little unconfident and a little flinching. There are few friends and there is almost no social interaction.
Although the psychological tutor (played by Ma Li and Wei Xiang) makes up according to the script, she is right to say that she is so afraid of being hurt that she closes herself up and refuses to communicate with the outside world.
Once someone releases a little bit of kindness and warmth to them, they can't wait to give all their enthusiasm back to each other.
Flattering personality is interpreted incisively and vividly by Jia Ling.
They didn't know how to refuse. They were obviously very reluctant and angry, but they still did things against their will for the sake of that poor sense of identity.
This personality may come from a native family, mean sister, and muddy parents.
It's not from the body.
lens languageAlthough it is a light comedy, the film has made great efforts in terms of camera language.
In this part of the evaluation, it is difficult to say clearly without stills to prove it. The deepest impression is that after being a bridesmaid against her will, Le Ying returned to her rented house and went up step by step.
The distant camera was motionless, and she was walking in the dark in a bright dress, and the rain poured down.
The dilapidated building in the night, with the footsteps of Le Ying, the lights on the ground floor went out again, and at last only the room of Le Ying lit up.
From night to dawn, the lights never went out, and loneliness came in the face.
It is worth mentioning that this night happened to change the fate of Le Ying, no longer spoiler.
After Le Ying decided to practice boxing well, she exercised her physical fitness regardless of cold or summer, and no one thought that she would hold on to the fight.
The corridor leading to the boxing ring seemed to be a long walk.
The first person shot at the beginning of the film echoes with the third person shot at the end of the film.
She seemed to see herself on the glass window of the hallway, the fat Le Ying, smiling at her and walking all the way.
Including what I mentioned earlier, inside and outside the glass window of the boxing hall, the character replacement of Haokun and Le Ying are all showing something more profound with the language of the camera.
As for what to show, everyone will have their own opinion.
Jia Ling is so thin that she doesn't have any moisture.Finally, let's talk about Jia Ling's slimming.
The last part of the film uses multiple shots to gradually reflect the process of Jia Ling's body change.
Although the camera flashes very fast, she needs to be carried by Lei Jiayin from the pull-up to the back to be able to support the jump quickly. This qualitative change is visible to the naked eye.
It took nearly a year to complete the miracle of losing 100 jin. There is no space in the film to mention the hard work of losing weight, perhaps in order to create a strong visual contrast in the later stage.
After all, when he walked to the boxing ring wearing his boxing uniform, the entire theater was filled with exclamations. The effect was indeed achieved.
The most solid hammer is the egg after the end of the movie.
Jia Ling's monthly changes and exercise scenes were recorded in the colored eggs. The sweat was sprinkled on the ground like water. When she couldn't stand it, Jia Ling could only build up her strength by shouting.
As a person who has masturbated iron, he is well aware of the limit of this kind of shouting.
The weight loss records on the big screen are even more heartbreaking. How painful she must be to say,"Mom, I'm so tired."
She was so hungry that she licked her lipstick until she knew it was sweet.
Perhaps many people do not know, large base (overweight) weight loss in the early stage is actually very easy, difficult is the late stage.
For example, it is almost impossible for a girl of about 120 jin to lose 10 jin and then keep it.
Jia Ling can be reduced all the way from a large base to 109 jin, and her perseverance is indeed unmatched by ordinary people. In the play is to find their own real win, outside the play, she only lost weight in this process, but also won a lot of people.
Relying solely on appearances, it is concluded that "it is sick to spend money to watch others lose weight", which completely misunderstands what the film itself is trying to convey.
Seeing that the box office of "Hot and Hot" is far ahead, some people say bitterly, "if you spend 100 to 200 million to lose half your weight, you can do it."
The point is, no one could predict whether the box office would succeed or not.
But she still spent a year firmly pursuing her goal for an unpredictable result.
Just like Le Ying in the movie, she was bruised and bloody, and everyone was persuading her to give up, but she was still holding on, waiting for the final counterattack.
This is not only Le Ying's inspiration, but also Jia Ling's inspiration.
