Jia Ling's success, in the end "hit" which male director's face?

No one expected, Hi, mom's momentum was so fierce that she became a big black horse in the Spring Festival stalls. What is even more unexpected is that this film is Jia Ling's directorial debut. Jia Ling, who hasn't even acted in several films, actually made a film with a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office, becoming the highest-grossing female directors in China film history. This made many people in the industry shake their heads and admire.

Maybe many famous directors don't make as many movies as Jia Ling. Before Jia Ling, many actors had transformed into directors, and this situation became more and more serious, and there were also many voices of doubt in the circle.

Roughly speaking, it means lamenting that the threshold for directing is getting lower and lower, and anyone can be a director, which is unfavorable to the development of China films. There are some well-known directors, and some even don't want to cooperate with these fledgling directors. There seems to be some sour taste in the worried words. But "Hi, Mom" directed by Jia Ling sold like hot cakes, which virtually "punched" many directors in the face. Let's take a brief inventory today.

1.Xu zhēng Xu zhēng is one of the most successful actors who have been transformed into directors. He has directed films such as Alone on the Road, An Embarrassment in Thailand, An Embarrassment in Hong Kong and Lost in Russia. He is also the producer of films such as Survival Desire and Living Together in Time and Space, and won the Best Actor Award in the 55th Taiwan Golden Horse Award for starring in Survival Desire.

But it is such a big coffee with good acting and directing skills, and there are mistakes. Jia Ling had contacted Xu Ruyun before filming Hi Mom, and she wanted Xu Ruyun to be the producer of this film. Because Jia Ling thought that Xu zhēng performed well and the director did a great job, it should be very helpful to Jia Ling as the first director.

But Xu zhēng turned down Jia Ling. Later, someone asked Xu zhēng why he refused. Xu zhēng said half jokingly, "There are too many fat people in Jia Ling. If I go again, I will become a fat man's nest! " Of course, this is just a joke. The fundamental reason why Xu zhēng refused should be that he didn't like the film.

First, because the production cost of this film is low, according to past experience, a film with a small budget will not have a good performance. Second, because it is a light comedy, mainly starring comedians such as Jia Ling and Shen Teng, although Shen Teng has a certain box office appeal, the overall box office appeal is limited.

Third, because this film focuses on warmth, it is a film with a minority theme. But after all, it is "people are not as good as heaven", and it is the warmth of this drama that touched the audience, and the continuous fermentation of word of mouth made Jia Ling's "Hi, Mom". I wonder how xuzh ng will feel when he sees such a result?

Secondly, Chen Sicheng, if you want to predict who will win the box office this Spring Festival, Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown 3" will definitely be the choice of most people, and it is estimated that even Chen Sicheng himself thinks so.

The first two films of "Tang Tan" have exceeded 4 billion at the box office, and the series of "Detective Chinatown" has become a big IP. And last year, the Spring Festival file was not released because of the epidemic. Chen Sicheng suppressed it for a year and made every effort to publicize it before it was released!

The pre-sale results of the film were amazing, and the box office exceeded 654.38+0 billion on the first day of release, breaking various records. Some people even began to predict that "Detective Chinatown 3" will surpass Jason Wu's "Wolf Warriors 2" to top the box office list of China film history, and everything seems to be developing according to Chen Sicheng's vision.

Because of the relationship between Chen Sicheng and Wanda, "Detective Chinatown 3" has a high rate of film arrangement in this Spring Festival file! With the advance of the release date, the box office of "Tang Tan 3" has been rising, and the movie "Crowd" starring Andy Lau, the king of heaven, has been thrown out of 18 Street. Andy Lau didn't expect to make a guest appearance for Chen Sicheng, but Chen Sicheng turned the heavenly king into a "backstage emperor".

At that time, the box office of Hi Mom was still tepid, and it was said that Chen Sicheng, Wang and others were already celebrating in advance. But what Chen Sicheng never expected was that the word-of-mouth of "Tang Tan 3" took a sharp turn for the worse, and was later surpassed by Song Xiaobao's diary of getting rich, and the word-of-mouth of "Hi, Mom" in "Jia Ling" continued to ferment.

Maybe Chen Sicheng hasn't recovered yet: I want to lose a national IP to a sketch actor! If I had known that Shen Teng had been dug, let me wait.

Third, Wang forgave me for being a director. Who told him to make a movie "fuss"? Wang 20 16, I don't know what he was stimulated by. He suddenly wants to be a director and make movies. Is the span from Xu Sanduo to the film director too big? At that time, he also invited the popular Yun-peng Yue to help.

However, as soon as the film was released, it encountered Waterloo, which not only polarized the word of mouth seriously, but also bottomed out at the box office! Even a large number of netizens accused Wang of being unfit to be a director. At that time, Wang was very calm in the face of doubts, claiming that he was not afraid of being scolded for his "dream."

But after that, Wang never mentioned being a director again. It's also the actor's transformation to be a director, and it's also the first time to make a comedy movie. Why is there such a big gap between Wang and Jia Ling? I think Jia Ling liked Soldier Assault so much that she finally defeated Cai Cheng and Xu Sanduo.

Fourthly, Jia Ling still has a long way to go. Although Hi, Jia Lingli's Mom was a great success, and Jia Ling made many people who didn't like her at first feel ashamed, Jia Ling knew that she still had many shortcomings. Jia Ling said in an interview that she "won't be a director for the time being". It seems that Jia Ling also thinks that everyone may hold her too high. Since ancient times, "it is too cold at the top", she should understand this truth very well.

With a debut film, Jia Ling has become the highest female directors in the box office history of Chinese movies, and Jia Ling will definitely become the focus of major capitals in the future, but Jia Ling and her friends still have a long way to go. I hope Jia Ling can take this success as a new starting point and lead Zhang and his partners to bring more and better works to the audience in the future. Looking forward to Jia Ling's next good play!
