What movie, the first half makes people smile from ear to ear, and the second half makes people cry?
Answer: "Hot and boiling hot".
She is the first Chinese female director to be favored by Hollywood for the copyright of her works.
Jia Ling's first film, Hello, Li Huanying, is about her mother, and the second film, Hot, is about herself.
And the two works have brought the audience full of emotion and inspiration.
After six days of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 2 billion, firmly sitting in the position of the box office champion of the Spring Festival, leaving Zhang Yimou, Shen Teng and other high-profile hit films far behind.
This time, Jia Ling won again.
The main reason is not only that the plot shows the process of women's self-search incisively and vividly, but also that the characterization is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Needless to say, Jia Ling lost 100 jin and practiced tendon flesh all over her body. As soon as she appeared on the stage, my tears never stopped.
In addition, although the psychologist played by Ma Li and the scholar played by Wei Xiang do not play many roles, I think the audience has a deep memory.
Old partners are just different, play games with each other, laugh constantly, and fill up the irony.
And Hao Kun, played by Lei Jiayin, is so clear that it makes people feel that it should be so, as if it is not acting, but living in the lens.
But none of the cast can be perfect, "Hot" has three failed actors are controversial, perhaps after the replacement of them, the show is almost perfect.
01 Yang ZiThese days, the big flow of small flowers have also begun to step into the film industry.
Even Yang Zi was no exception. This time, she made a guest appearance in "Hot and Hot." She thought she could surprise four people, but Jia Ling, who had not lost weight, looked pleasing to the eye.
Her swollen face, which is blessed by filters in costume dramas, does not seem obvious. But after this kind of big screen, the unnatural feeling immediately came out.
The skin is like hair noodle steamed bread, swollen and stiff, laughing without the aura of childhood, full of silicone texture, people feel uncomfortable all over.
This is reminiscent of the reason why Zhang Yimou talked about resolutely not using "face surgery":
"From the point of view of filming, there are more than 1000 muscles on the face, and a little bit of movement will have an impact. The big screen magnifies your face tens of thousands of times. Plastic surgery is completely impossible to hide."
Now it seems that this really hit the nail on the head.
However, Yang Zi flow is placed here, can still get the special favor of the director.
In this film, she plays Doudou as a villain. On the surface, she is an ordinary harmless little journalist. In fact, she does whatever it takes to win traffic and properly set up "white cut black" people.
To tell you the truth, people have a lot of feelings, but they don't have such a sense of contrast.
If du Leying hadn't fallen down in the boxing ring and recalled what Doudou had done, the audience would not have noticed the "blackening" of Yang Zi's role.
It is not so much that she is a good actor as that she is set up.
Throughout the film, Yang Zi's performance is at a salty level, and there are no micro-expression changes that can poke into the hearts of the audience.
As expected, not everyone could act on the big screen. It was difficult for Yang Zi to stand out in the film industry.
02 Zhang XiaofeiThe last time she played Jia Ling's mother Li Huanying, she won the trophy of Golden Rooster Film Queen at one stroke.
And this time Zhang Xiaofei, I am afraid to let the audience down.
In the movie, she plays Jia Ling's sister Du Ledan. If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought she played Jia Ling's sister.
Zhang Xiaofei can describe this character in four words: broken horse Zhang Fei.
Even if you ask your sister for help to transfer the house, you should pretend to be arrogant and stare at Le Ying viciously with two big eyes. You can't see any sisterly affection at all.
If you want to add a realistic color to the character, then it is normal to have a selfish side, but the blood relationship in your bones cannot be abandoned directly, otherwise you will lose the true feeling.
And in the final scene of Le Ying standing in the boxing ring, the audience did not wait for Ledan to change too much.
She looked coldly at her sister on the stage and squeezed a tear out of the corner of her eye. Even when her sister got off the ring and left the scene, she did not see Ledan get up and applaud.
She is like an emotionless bystander, in this play to complete their own part, without any emotion, resulting in the role did not play a real human color, people can not help but feel disappointed.
It seems that it is not so easy for Zhang Xiaofei, the queen of World War I, to surpass the surprise brought to the audience by Li Huanying.
03 Li XueqinUnexpectedly, the threshold of the film industry is getting lower and lower, and even talk show actors can shoot films.
Li Xueqin has appeared on the big screen a lot in the past two years, but the audience can find a problem, that is, she is playing herself in everything.
In other words, acting everything is a routine.
The familiar Northeast Tieling accent is completely different from the pronunciation of the lines of the people around her, and there is an awkward expression, so that the audience can't help but buckle her toes.
And Li Xueqin in the new film actually played the role of a "mistress" who hooked up with her best friend boyfriend. is it reasonable for you to see for yourself her image?
It is said that "fox charm also needs talent." Li Xueqin is obviously the kind of person who has no talent at all.
Even if they were wearing thin pajamas and snuggled up next to Qiaoshan, the two looked like buddies, and there was no ambiguous atmosphere at all.
Moreover, Li Xueqin's posture, action and expression were carefully designed at first glance, but he was so resistant during the performance that the whole state was not natural enough.
It was a good performance. Don't do it next time.
04 conclusion"Hot and Hot" is indeed a good play, but there are obvious problems in character design.
It is not difficult to see that the three important female images in this film all treat their friends and relatives maliciously, as if women are such a selfish image, and cheating and mistresses also seem to be exclusive to girls.
This design made many audiences uncomfortable, coupled with the fact that the performance of the three actresses did not meet the expectations of the audience, which greatly reduced the texture of the film.
It could be seen that Jia Ling wanted to pursue a very real human nature, but she ignored that everyone should have human warmth besides lightning points, and she could not kill everyone at once.
It can only be said that the film lacks some considerations in design, but as a female-themed film, "Hot and Hot" is worth seeing in the cinema.
At present, the film is far ahead at the box office, and it is likely to be the biggest winner of the Spring Festival. Let's wait and see!
So do you think the design of the above three female characters is reasonable?
