Do you want to see any movies during the Spring Festival this year?
As of 8:40 p.m. on Feb.1, the total box office pre-sale of new films for the Spring Festival has exceeded 100 million yuan.
Among them, Jia Ling's self-directed "Hot Hot" ranked first, with a pre-sale box office of 30 million yuan, followed by Shen Teng's "Flying Life 2," with a box office of 30 million yuan. There is only a 200,000 difference between pre-orders for the two films.
In third place was Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" of the all-star lineup, which grossed nearly $30 million and has now reached $28 million.
"Mr. Red carpet", "Let's shake the Sun" and "Bear haunt" earned 8 million, 7 million and 6 million respectively, a clear gap with the pre-sale box office of the first three films.
According to the current momentum, this year's Spring Festival box office results, the most eye-catching is likely to be "hot and hot."
So, is the film good after all? Can Jia Ling hand over another 5 billion-odd comedy movie?
01
The point of laughter is straight, not stiff, very novel.
The first wave of laughter was given by Lei Jiayin and Jia Ling.
As soon as the first edition of the trailer came out, I saw Lei Jiayin, who was Jia Ling's fitness coach, dragging Jia Ling's 200 jin body for pull-ups, her face flushed and her expression out of control.
Then lying on his back to lift weights, Lei Jiayin asked Jia Ling if she tried hard. Jia Ling grinned and grinned, feeling that she had exerted a lot of strength, but as soon as she turned her head and took advantage of Lei Jiayin to close her eyes and work hard, she could pour out a hand to rub her nose.
After a round of practice, Lei Jia's voice flow sweats more than Jia Ling. Is this training for students or for themselves?
After the key practice, Jia Ling also took a look at Lei Jiayin, doubting whether the other party could do it in the end, and felt sorry for Lei Jiayin for a second.
And Lei Jiayin took Jia Ling to jump rope, not a few jumped directly fell off his pants, the comedy effect of this is not here?
Lei Jiayin and Jia Ling were already very funny. Just by standing there, they had already poked the audience's laughter point. The two comedians had to put on an emotional scene, and the laughter point directly doubled.
The second wave of laughter was given by Yang Zi and Zhao Haiyan.
I have to say, Yang Zi plays me.
Chat with distant relatives who are not familiar with each other, socialize with fierce bandits, and have a social phobia of level 10 patients.
When the other party asks a question, he gives an honest answer, but as long as he says it, the other party responds to every sentence, and every sentence is out of tune.
You have to climb up any kinship that you can't reach.
As Doudou, played by Yang Zi, as soon as he heard that his grandfather was her cousin and uncle, and said to take things to have a look at home, Doudou honestly replied, "my grandfather is gone."
A distant relative immediately added, "then I'll take something to the grave to have a look."
When the words are over, we have to find a few more words. Distant relatives ask where Master Doudou is buried and even put the tomb in a place. Isn't this a neighbor?
Distant relatives immediately follow, saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. This is both a distant relative and a close neighbor.
A clip, can really make people laugh out of tears, Haiyan, you can be more careful, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors are not so useful ah!
The third wave of laughter came from Ma Li and Wei Xiang.
The two once worked together, "the killer is not very calm", this time in Jia Ling's new film, played a pair of judges in the variety show.
Just by looking at the clothes of the two, we can see that they don't agree with each other.
Sure enough, the two got into a fight on the show, but in order to broadcast the effect, the comedian had almost full emotional control by cutting out the passage and recording it again.
The feeling of the two anxious white faces was about to be torn up one second, and the next second they changed a soft face, and the smile was called a brilliant one.
The old partner rubbed a new joke, isn't that a proper way to squeeze the audience?
And these jokes give people a very natural feeling, not deliberately, coupled with no need for old stalks, this also makes "Hot" win at the starting line of comedy movies.
02
Sincerity must kill, Jia Ling is expected to reproduce the myth.
So, how much box office Jia Ling's film can win is undoubtedly what everyone is most concerned about.
Her last film, Hello, Li Huanying, went viral and grossed 5.413 billion yuan at the box office, making it not only the highest-grossing film in China, but also the No. 1 comedy box office in the world.
As another masterpiece of Jia Ling after a lapse of three years, Hot and Hot is enough to feel the excellence of the work.
In addition, Jia Ling lost 100 jin for the film, from a fat person of 200 jin to a bodybuilding figure with only 10% body fat.
It can be said that Jia Ling's weight loss alone has brought a lot of gimmicks to the film, and many audiences have come to see this film because of Jia Ling's slimming appearance.
But this also shows Jia Ling's determination and perseverance to make a good film. Only fat people know how difficult it is to lose weight, but Jia Ling has succeeded in slimming down while making a film, achieving what ordinary people can't do.
However, the highlight of this film is not only Jia Ling's body, just from the lineup can see Jia Ling this time back to the capital, everyone called the name of the comedian almost all gathered in this film.
Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, the two protagonists of Zhang Yimou's Article 20, also played a leading role and a supporting role in Hot.
Sha Yi, who named himself last year with "Wandering Earth 2," also played an important role in the film.
Then there is Zhao Haiyan, who plays Jia Ling's mother in the Northeast country comedy ceiling "country Love," while Zhang Xiaofei, who worked with "Hello, Li Huanying", plays Jia Ling's sister in the film.
In addition, Li Xueqin, Qiao Shan and other actors are also the icing on the cake for "Hot and Hot", which is quite enough for plastic surgery in the domestic comedy film circle.
And Jia Ling also knows how to use the flow to attract eyes. Yang Zi's joining has become a highlight of the film. Judging from the performance of Yang Zi in the trailer, all her comedy talents have been dug out by Jia Ling, a hot girl group dance. Yang Zi danced hard and funny, and the comedy effect was excellent.
At present, the pre-sale box office of this film is also very outstanding, depending on how many box office tickets can be won in the end. If "Hot Hot" breaks 5.5 billion yuan, it will break the global box office record, and Jia Ling's two works add up, the box office will exceed 10 billion yuan.
She is not only the best female director in the world, but also an actress with 10 billion yuan at the box office. It depends on whether Jia Ling can throw another deck of Wang Fang cards.
Following the Spring Festival, the quality of films of the same type as "Article 20" and "Flying Life 2" or "Hot Hot" will determine the final box office. If the word-of-mouth of "Hot and Hot" hits the table, 5.5 billion is fine.
