The winner of this year's Spring Festival will be Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Hot".
At present, after three days of release, the total box office of the film has exceeded 1.1 billion, and the platform predicts that the total box office of the mainland will reach 4.4 billion.
But this is only the predicted result of the film's 30 days in theaters.
If it is like "Hello, Li Huanying", the key will be extended for another month.
There are no works that can be typed in the same period, and the total box office is still likely to rise.
As a result, the final box office of "Hot and Hot" is likely to break "Hello, Li Huanying" and refresh the ranking of the top three Chinese films at the box office.
While the box office is booming, the film's word-of-mouth reviews are still polarized.
Although it scored 7.9 points, among the 130,000 viewers, the negative rating of one star and two stars was as high as 7.8%.
More than ten thousand audiences are dissatisfied with the film.
01
People are all "scum girls".
One of the controversies of "Hot and Hot" is the "stigmatization of women".
For no other reason, the female images portrayed in this film are unlikable.
Zhang Xiaofei plays young Li Huanying in Hello, Li Huanying. He is simple in character and likable in character, emphasizing the greatness of maternal love.
But in this film, she plays Ledan is a marital affair, the child is not the husband's, but also feel that Le Ying (Jia Ling), to help her is a natural negative image.
She wanted Le Ying to transfer the house to her own name, but there was no gesture of asking for help at all.
He even threw a table fight with her on the spot, which was set up by a completely evil girl.
Yang Zi's interpretation of Doudou, originally thought to play a role in the film is to bear the role of laughter.
But only after watching the film did I know that Doudou is just a bad woman who uses Le Ying's compassion to help her become a regular worker.
Through malicious editing, she made Le Ying an unfilial son in everyone's eyes.
Also let the camera shoot the ugliest look of Le Ying, only to create a topic for herself.
And Li Xueqin's best friend is another one who robbed Le Ying's boyfriend and was pregnant with each other's child.
The third party who kept a secret from Le Ying and made her her bridesmaid.
This role does not treat Le Ying as a human being at all.
It is also an image that will not make people want to laugh, but only feel disgusted.
Even the image of the heroine Le Ying is not positive.
Her home has been eating old for many years, and she doesn't care about the feelings of her family at all.
The female images in "Hot and Hot" can only be summed up by "scum girls".
02
The theme is superficial.
When Jia Ling was promoting the film, she wrote a long article that she had lost 100 jin.
But then he told the audience that Hot is not a movie about losing weight.
This film is adapted from Love of a Hundred Dollars. The theme of the original film is that the heroine finds herself through boxing.
On the surface, Jia Ling's adaptation of "Hot and Hot" also retains this theme.
The biggest attraction and suspense of movies in the world.
It is still Jia Ling who plays Le Ying, who has changed from a fat man of more than 200 jin to a muscle girl of more than 100 jin.
It was the unfriendliness of her family that contributed to the transformation of Le Ying.
Is the use of distant relatives, but also boyfriend cheating, best friend betrayal.
And the new boyfriend who lives together doesn't recognize her identity.
This is like a domestic TV series that everyone has complained about.
The heroine has always experienced emotional setbacks and can't stand up without a little emotional injury.
"Hot and Hot" is also because of this opportunity, let Le Ying decide to change.
But under the guise of looking for yourself, the inner theme is still "thinness is the foundation of everything."
Leying before she lost weight, no matter how her sister bullied herself.
Even if she had just beaten her black and blue, she got up and signed the real estate transfer.
Obviously have seen Doudou malicious editing, made her into an unfilial daughter.
She still softened because of Doudou's words and continued to act for her.
And when her boyfriend cheats on her best friend, she wants her to be her bridesmaid.
When I broke the rumor that I was a regular mistress, I still didn't have the slightest temper to do so.
Even her new boyfriend Hao Kun (Lei Jiayin) didn't take her to heart at all.
She was just a disdainful plaything, and she was willing to be played with.
All this is because Le Ying is fat, self-abased and afraid to look up when she goes out.
Everything is submissive.
She didn't know how to refuse until she lost weight, and everything depends on her mood instead of being flattered.
This is tantamount to conveying that girls are anxious when they are fat and that only thin can do their own thinking.
It contributes to the atmosphere of body anxiety and appearance anxiety.
Fat girls can also be confident, can also chase dreams, not necessarily thin to choose to be themselves.
The theme of "Hot and Hot" itself is biased, and it is not surprising that the audience understands it as a weight-loss movie.
03
Forced tear
"Hot and Hot" seems to have no affection, but its structure is very similar to "Hello, Li Huanying".
In the early stage, it was still mainly funny, but in the later stage, it began to be sensational, and Le Ying, who had practiced boxing for a year, was chased after being chased.
The moment she fell to the ground, she repeated all her sufferings in the way of recollection.
In order to poke the audience's tears, but in fact, look at these sufferings, Le Ying completely asked for it.
She can not spoil her sister, or she can cheat on her boyfriend and best friend.
What's more, we should stop the loss in time after seeing the true face of Hao Kun.
However, self-abasement turned her into an undignified person who was bullied and bullied.
Do not know how to fight back, such a person is pitiful and hateful.
And these viewers who gave bad reviews obviously saw the hard wound of "hot and hot".
It was only after watching Jia Ling's new film that I finally understood what Wu Jing said.
Wu Jing mentioned that the high box office does not mean that his own level is high.
After "Wolf Warriors 2" won the top spot at the Chinese film box office, he worried that his knowledge and experience could not keep up with him.
I'm not in a hurry to make a new film, but I want to make up for what I'm missing.
After that, Wu Jing did not take advantage of the popularity of Wolf Warriors III, nor did he independently direct the new film.
Instead, he carefully picked the script and successively handed over high-quality films such as "Changjin Lake" and "wandering the Earth", which became the guarantee of word-of-mouth.
On the other hand, Jia Ling was accused of shooting technical pediatrics when she filmed "Hello, Li Huanying."
In "Hot and Hot", there are even fewer amazing scenes.
And the presentation techniques are the same, focusing on comedy in the early stage and tears in the later stage, without any innovation.
There is no denying that Jia Ling, who has lost 100 jin, is really amazing and has paid a lot for the film.
However, with the success of slimming down, the standard of Jia Ling as a director is still far behind.
Maybe "Hot and Hot" can still win at the box office.
But in the end, word of mouth may not always be able to maintain 7.9 points.
What do you think of this? What kind of movie is Hot in your mind?
