This move immediately attracted attention, because this is a film project that has been "stockpiled" for 9 years, and now there are signs of being publicly promoted. People in the industry speculate that the film may be being considered for broadcast in the near future.
However, Tencent Video is also involved in controversy because of adjusting Bach Loc's position in the cast.
According to the original contract and initial promotional materials, Bach Loc was the 3rd-ranked actor (session 3), while two male actors Hau Minh Hao and Ngao Khuyen were then ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively (sessions 1 and 2).
But Tencent has raised Bach Loc's position to 2nd and pushed Ngao Khuyen down to 3rd.
The film was filmed from 2017, initially named "Journey to the West: The Country of Women". At that time, Bach Loc was new to the profession, not yet famous, so he did not have much screen time.
The actions of the Tencent platform are suspected of taking advantage of Bach Loc's current popularity to attract the attention of the audience, but going against the spirit of the initial contract.
After the controversial outbreak, the movie's scheduling page was quickly removed, and the platform has not yet issued an official announcement explaining the reason for the adjustment.
Fans simultaneously protested, demanding to respect the actor ranking order as in the original contract and amend the information.
In addition, the fact that "Hao Nu Vo Song" has the opportunity to air also makes many viewers worried about the quality of the film. After 9 years, the special effects and storytelling of the film are considered outdated; moreover, this is also a work of the "over-revision" type from a classic masterpiece, so it poses a risk of censorship.
On the other hand, Bach Loc's screen time in the movie is not much, if broadcast, it could affect her reputation due to controversies about the quality of the film. A part of netizens even think that "it is better to continue sheltering".
Meanwhile, Bach Loc's fandom is calling on everyone, instead of arguing about the old movie, to focus their attention on the work "Mac ly" starring Bach Loc, scheduled to air in June 2026.
This is a project with a female character as the center with Bach Loc's name ranked first in the cast list. Bach Loc will play Diep Ly - the female lead in the story of revenge and power.
This film is expected to be an important work that can help Bach Loc's career enter a new stage.
