Not only could Jia Ling break the box office record for her own self-directed movie, but she could also become the world's first self-directed movie artist to break the 10 billion box office record. However, the competition for the Spring Festival slot was very fierce, and it was still uncertain whether 'Hot and Spicy' could reach 5.5 billion. Blockbusters such as " Life Spears 2 " and " Rule 20 " were strong competitors, and they might have a certain impact on the box office of " Hot and Boiling." Therefore, the quality and reputation of the movie after its release would be crucial. Only when the first wave of reputation exploded would it be possible to reach 5.5 billion. Therefore, it was still uncertain whether " Hot & Spicy " could break the 5.5 billion mark.
