deleted the original version of the entire "rape scene", Jia Ling's boldness proves that she has the ability to be a great director

First of all, I want to apologize to Jia Ling.

As early as in the article "Spring Festival Preview", I once expressed a negative evaluation of Jia Ling's new film "Hot and Hot".

In the Spring Festival in 2021, Jia Ling's "Hello Li Huanying" won a box office of 5.4 billion, creating a miracle of national movie-watching.

But "Li Huanying" is not outstanding in terms of production level, and its success is the accidental result of the joint fermentation of many factors.

Then, after Jia Ling rested for a while, she immediately began to prepare for the second movie, which disappeared for a whole year.

One day, a news hot search of "Jia Ling lost 100 pounds" suddenly broke out on the Internet, plus "Hot and Hot" is a remake of the Japanese classic "100 Yuan Love".

I started worrying all at once.

On the one hand, a movie, but also a remake.

You don't market how many actors you have hired, how strong the behind-the-scenes team is, how many awards you have won, and how brilliant the plot is.

On the contrary, the marketing protagonist lost 100 pounds.

This kind of perverse behavior, although it is not "selling dog meat on the head of a sheep", it definitely arouses the disgust of many people.

I'm the same, and I'm sure there are plenty of people like me.

This can be seen from the fact that there are still people who say that "Hot and Hot" is "Jia Ling's weight loss".

Marketing is okay, but let's focus on entertainment news that has nothing to do with movies, which is a bit ugly.

Let's talk about remakes.

The word remake has appeared frequently in the Chinese film industry in recent years, and there are several remakes in almost every schedule, and there was a special situation known as "remake" in November last year.

The three movies "Second-Hand Masterpiece", "Priceless Treasure", and "Save the Suspect" seem to be original, but they are all remakes.

And when it comes to remakes, I have to say one more person.

Bao Bell.

This brother is simply the spokesperson for the remake, he has remade 6 movies in 3 years, the starring director has grabbed it, and China, Japan and South Korea have all been killed.

And the quality is more stable, 8 points of God for you to process into 4 points in minutes.

This is also the general reason why the audience is disgusted with the "remake" -

I can't understand it, I don't know why I know it, a group of people play out the original plot according to the cat and the tiger, cut corners, and the gourd is the same, and rush out of inferior imitations and sell them to the theater to cheat money.

When I was a child, I copied my homework, and when I grew up, I remade movies.

When it comes to Jia Ling, the remake of "100 Yuan Love" is even more unconfident.

The score of 8.3 is put aside, the key is that this is a very Japanese-style film, it is not a traditional inspirational sports film, but through a more brutal and gray realism, the weight of dreams is distilled.

Life hurts so much!

But after watching the trailer of "Hot and Hot", I suddenly felt cold.

It's a standard big-character poster + drum beat BGM, plus the participation of Ma Li, Wei Xiang and others, for fear that it will become a family carnival.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather not watch it. ”

With this very biased and stubborn mentality, although "Hot and Hot" quickly occupied the first place after the start of the Spring Festival, I still couldn't help but watch it, as if I had entered a rebellious period, and took turns watching other movies.

finally watched "Hot and Hot" today.

After reading it, I blushed and just wanted to apologize to Jia Ling.

I was wrong, the remake is very good, Jia Ling is very serious.

"Hot and Hot" deserves this result!

On the remake, Jia Ling really worked hard

It's been almost ten days, and I think everyone already understands the plot of "Hot and Hot", so I won't go into details.

My biggest feeling after watching it is that Jia Ling really treats the remake as an original film.

Except for the part of the boxing match in the whole movie, almost all the plots only retain the skeleton of the original movie, and the flesh and blood are original.

Not only did it not erase the spirit of the original version, but it became more suitable for Chinese audiences.

This can be seen in the deleted "rape scene".

The heroine of the original "100 Yuan Love" mainly highlights one word:

Mourning.

This kind of mourning is a mourning that has no quarrel with the world, a mourning that gives up oneself and dreams, and that one's heart is like a dead corpse.

How sad is it?

She was harassed by a male colleague working in a supermarket, and after the two of them finished drinking, the heroine was overwhelmed by alcohol, and the other party took advantage of the strength of the wine to drag the heroine into the roadside hotel.

Despite the heroine's repeated refusals, the male colleague raped her.

The heroine ended her first time in pain.

was raped, it was the first time in life, and it was a devastating event for anyone to put this on him.

But the heroine just called the police after waking up the next day, and after saying a few words lightly, she walked out of the hotel and staggered home step by step.

Is she stupid?

Of course not, but she thinks it's nothing, and even says that her whole life is nothing.

The director's arrangement of this scene is also to express the heroine's psychological condition of "grieving more than dying", and by the way, the heroine is pushed off the cliff.

Of course, because this rape scene is too violent, many people are also very dissatisfied with this plot after watching it, saying that the Japanese taste is too strong.

But artistic expression is like that, sometimes it's just a matter of not being light or heavy.

When it comes to Jia Ling's version, it's completely different.

The original version is mourning, and Jia Ling has found another more suitable character background:

Inferiority

The heroine "Le Ying" has a typical people-pleasing personality, habitually conforming to other people's ideas, succumbing to other people's desires, and killing herself over and over again in the process.

At the beginning of the first scene of the movie, Le Ying's state of "neglect" was portrayed -

conveyed through her mother and sister that the heroine was not treated well at home, and the two dead friends portrayed that the heroine was not respected in society.

The original Japanese version has always focused on the heroine from the beginning of the movie, trying to capture her broken state.

In the opening two scenes of Jia Ling's version, the protagonist has been on the edge, and he escaped after straying into the scene, and this differentiation came out at once.

You will find that Le Ying has always spoken in a low voice, her voice is so small that even mosquitoes can cover it, and her eyes are always looking up at others.

She said that she was always good to people, but she always got hurt in the end.

This sense of inferiority completely broke out until she met "Haokun" (played by Lei Jiayin), she was like "The Disgusted Pine Nut", unconditionally by Haokun's side, washing and cooking for him, serving tea and water, and being a snail girl.

I think when Jia Ling designed this role, she must have brought in the collective experience of many female compatriots.

And the impressive rape scene was also removed.

(Otherwise, Xu Juncong and Jia Ling's bed scene will definitely become mental pollution.) ）

But is Jia Ling just a one-size-fits-all approach?

Of course not.

She did not give up the role of "sex" in shaping the female character, in the only bed scene in the whole film.

There are a total of two bed scenes in the original Japanese version.

The first scene is the rape mentioned above, pushing the heroine to the bottom, and after meeting the male protagonist, the heroine quickly dedicates herself, and this kind of hollowing out everything also proves the emptiness of the heroine.

In Jia Ling's version, Le Ying still slept with Haokun, but this was not simply sleeping.

At the end of the ending, Jia Ling once again returned the camera to that night-

Le Ying was the first time, but when Haokun asked her if it was her first time, she still pretended to be calm and shook her head, and silently endured everything in the next impact.

A woman who is so humble that she has to lie to herself and please others even in bed.

She really, I cried to death.

Jia Ling is not simply deleted, but optimized into a more acceptable way.

I must admit that this change touched my heart even more.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the success of this remake, as mentioned earlier, Jia Ling almost reversed the original version, except for the main framework, all the plots, shots, and character relationships have been overhauled and original, and the ending has changed from a pleasing personality to living for himself, which perfectly fits the hot topic in the current society.

Even after reading the original version and then watching Jia Ling's version, there is a refreshing feeling.

Thinking of her losing 100 pounds for the movie, I really admire her.

Some people remake just to copy homework and be opportunistic, but Jia Ling chose the most difficult one, maybe this is the true meaning of a remake.

Make a movie that belongs to your own cognition and cultural identity.

epilogue

Finally, let's praise the overall change, the longer this article is written, the more convinced I am of Jia Ling:

The original version of "100 Yuan Love", many people commented after reading it:

"After hard work, you will still fail, this is life!"

But when it came to "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling continued to write the second half of the sentence in a year-

"At least we've worked hard and improved, so why don't we win!"
