This is of course a good thing for Jia Ling herself, and it is also a great honor. It is even a very face-saving incentive for Chinese female directors. True feelings
"Hello, Li Huanying" and "Wolf Warrior" tell us that a good work cannot be without true feelings.
The drama "Hello, Li Huanying", I think this movie is well done, I can't fault it, it looks very comfortable, the twist at the end is amazing, I laugh so hard , the tears didn’t feel that exaggerated, maybe it just didn’t hit my tears. And what touches me the most is not a certain plot, but I keep thinking that this is Jia Ling’s personal experience. This is the story of Jia Ling’s story about her mother Li Huanying, who is a director, an actor, and a daughter.
Li Huanying herself is an ordinary person. It is difficult for Jia Ling to express the love between mother and daughter so delicately and truly through the perspective of identity transformation. You hate your father's mediocrity, but you don't know that you were once a boy with dreams. You hate your mother's nagging, but you don't remember that you were once a girl who looked at the mirror. I forgot that your mother was also a girl who was afraid of thunder. As a little girl, her parents are still here, but she still has a place to come in life; her parents are dead, and there is only a way home in this life. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The child wants to support but cannot be loved. No matter what happens, don't wait until you lose it to regret it... The original intention of the movie< /p>
Think about it carefully, does "Hello, Li Huanying" have no three secular views, no big scenes, no love triangle, decent comedy, warm story, logical and orderly, and the actors are not incomparably beautiful, nor are they The flow is flowery, but it looks natural and comfortable. Over the years, there has never been such a touching work in Chinese-language films.
Jia Ling’s original intention in filming this movie was to miss her mother Li Huanying, because her mother died unexpectedly at an early age. The reason was also for her two sisters, although it was just an accident. But it came too suddenly, which has always been a pain in her heart and a pain for her family. As she said in a program: "My mother left so suddenly. She already knew that I was in the art college and that I was acting in sketches, otherwise she would never know what I was doing in her life!" Jia Ling's love for her mother is a kind of deep nostalgia, a kind of guilt that she wants to raise a child but cannot be kissed. The fact may be helpless, but only the spirit exists.
Now Jia Ling, since Jia Ling founded Dawan Entertainment in 2016, she has almost led the entire company by herself. At that time, Zhang Xiaofei was not famous, she was just a familiar beautiful actress who always acted in sketches and variety shows with Jia Ling. Now Zhang Xiaofei is so popular that he expressed his willingness to sign a long-term contract with Dawan Entertainment to share some of the responsibilities on Jia Ling's shoulders.
Zhang Xiaofei’s popularity is related to Jia Ling. It is her help and support that made Zhang Xiaofei’s daughter-in-law become a mother for many years, but there is more to Dawan Entertainment than just Zhang Xiaofei. Now that Jia Ling has enough voice, the entertainment industry will slowly push her towards capital, allowing Jia Ling to use her power to bring in more newcomers. I think the public has had enough of the domination of the screen by popular celebrities, as well as the embarrassing acting skills supported by capital, facial paralysis, cutouts, and hot searches to control comments!!!
This would be great, Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei’s acting skills The great ones can finally stand out. And it’s not just about excelling in sketches and parties. This will enable the industry to develop healthily again, and it will no longer be bad money that drives out good money. Reasons for the popularity
You will find that no matter what the subject matter, as long as it meets the taste of our Chinese people, it can stand out in the world. If you board the big ship of China, you are destined to run much faster than other small broken ships. And, the reason this movie did so well at the box office is that I think it appealed not only to younger audiences, but to our parents' generation as well. This story is about when they were young and when they were old, they had pensions and had money and leisure. A square dance group (or a factory retirement group) said it looked good, and a group of old people were dumbfounded. Even my mother was arranged by people in the group to go to the cinema with tissues.
I think it’s normal for the box office revenue to be high. Maybe you don't think it's good, and your parents think it's average after watching it, but there are basically no movies on the market that suit your parents' tastes. Even if Li Huanying doesn't know how to act, as long as he doesn't mess around, he will still have good box office results. Don't underestimate this group of people. The same goes for those Chinese aunts who went to Wall Street to buy gold for the first time.
There are also elderly tour groups, square dancing aunts, and the initiators of the concentration of drug stores. They are all groups that cannot be ignored in society and even have a strong sense of existence. Based on the above reasons, I think the reason why the box office is so high is not only the quality of the movie itself, but also a China worthy of the attention of the elderly!
So, let’s be confident. In the future, there will be many foreign directors who want to please us and make many movies that they think we will like, just like our directors once pleased them.
