Re la gun tang

This movie has been intensely debated on Chinese online platforms. It is a remake of the Japanese film "Hundred Yen Love." The director of YOLO, Ling Jia, a Chinese woman, transitioned from being a comedic actress for more than ten years to become a director and screenwriter. With only two works to her credit, including YOLO, she can still be considered a new director. However, if we take a look at the box office performance of these two works, we might be surprised by this newcomer's achievement.

"Hi, Mom," Ling Jia's first directorial effort, grossed over 5 billion Chinese yuan at the box office, ranking among the top in Chinese film history. Notably, few new directors can achieve such success. The film, adapted from the director's own experiences, tells a deeply emotional story about Ling Jia and her mother (who passed away when Ling Jia was 19 years old).

As her second film, YOLO, released during the Chinese New Year season on February 10th, also became a box office hit. Many girls were moved to tears by the protagonist Le Ying and were encouraged to find themselves, embrace life, and grow. Despite being Ling Jia's second film, YOLO has already grossed over 3 billion Chinese yuan in China and is gradually being released overseas.

Ling Jia's success has sparked jealousy among some Chinese men, who have expressed extreme negativity towards YOLO online. These negative reviews ignore the facts and are often made by people who have never even watched the movie. They claim that it is an over-marketed film about weight loss, disregarding its deeper themes and emotional impact. Not only do they criticize the movie, but they also use unfriendly language against director Ling Jia. This is extremely unfair to both a woman and her work. Admitting someone else's excellence, especially a woman's, can be difficult for many Chinese men.

These negative voices do not only come from ordinary male internet users. We have reasons to believe that some industry insiders may also be involved in manipulating the situation, as the negative reviews suddenly increased and intensified at a certain point. Online marketing is often motivated by financial gain, and malicious behavior aimed at damaging a person's reputation has unfortunately become a common practice.

It is hoped that people with independent thinking can recognize these negative comments and enjoy the movie despite its imperfections. As a creator, having room for improvement is a good thing, isn't it? After all, every master was once a beginner.

At the same time, I hope that everyone who is imprisoned in their own self-imposed cage can rise up soon, accept themselves, and embrace a new life.

This movie reflects my personal life journey: always trying to back off, to please others, to say fine, till one day I was literally at the edge of the cliff. And I decided to change.

Even though right now I am not anything close to the most successful, the wealthiest, the most famous human being in the world, but I am proud of myself. I am proud of myself learning to say no, to set boundaries, and to have a goal and be laser-focused on my goal.

And, if you are struggling with the feeling that you've tried so hard but nobody appreciates you, I could tell that you are actually a really powerful person as you have so much to give. Just try to focus on yourself and your goal more.

I would recommend it to anybody who is or who was a people-pleaser.

This movie is amazing. It's so hard to describe the impact it had on me just by words, so I recommend everyone to watch it in the cinema, experiencing the impact brought by the movie's visuals, music, and cinematography and I believe you will reckon it worths too. Many scenes deeply touched me when I watched it. Seems like the other audiences got the same feeling as we were just so into the movie, all stayed and reluctant to go when it ends until the staff came in to clean the chair. It's never too late to make changes in life, striving for yourself once, compared with the past self, progress is a true win. Appreciate the hard work and contribution made by Leying - Jialing, the main girl and meanwhile the director of this movie, bringing us a self-redemption from a female perspective. The best fit of international women's day!

From the content of the Douban short reviews, it seems that most viewers have not seen "Hyakuen no Koi." Personally, I think that "Yolo" as a remake is at least not inferior to the original. The localization of the film is very successful, whether it's the tone, the settings, or the plot. Although I also like "Hyakuen no Koi," Chinese audiences during the Spring Festival still need a more sizzling hot performance. Especially the dialogue between Le Ying and Hao Kun at the end, it has already surpassed "Hyakuen no Koi." The core is about how a person with a self-closed, introverted personality and depressive tendencies gradually finds their existential proposition through collisions with others and society. Boxing and weight loss have become the most superficial symbols, but even so, she still works hard, which should be sincerity. After all, she didn't have to do this.

The meaning converyed in this movie + This movie acheived a huge success above others during the chinese spring festival + This movie directed by a female and the only movies directed by a female during spring festival time = Some of the male audiences(Chinese Ken) did after their emotianl hurt: 1. Rating lowest everywhere online like dog peing; 2. Accuse its sucess came for its overly marketing; 3. Blindly propagandizing another movie by a whole male team is a real movie over YOLO. However that movie do maketing too (because of it's spring festival, no one in movie industry would like to miss it); 4. Trying sooooooo hard to twist the meaning of what the movie really want to express by blindly accusing it's a movie promoting girls need to be thin and ignoring by purpose how's the female character mentally change. However, the direct said it's not a movie about a women losing weight instead of a women refound her enthusiasm of life from boxing. And a muscling body (Boxer body) just a tiny byproduct.

I don't want spoil so I won't say any more detailed story here.

But telling the truth, the editing and story telling skill are remaininng room to grow but the combination of the real meaning of this movie want to express and the chinese male audience's action, like a social experiment, is reallt a fun thing after the last time I saw Barbie.

It's worth for you if you like to find out in this movie how's the progress of feminism consciousness made in Mainland of China at this time.

Considering by these, I'd rate 10 to recommend ppl to watch a movie that hurted Chinese Ken's feeling.
