Canh Diem is one of the Chinese beauties who possesses outstanding beauty but is not highly appreciated for her acting. Even though she diligently appeared in historical series such as "The Legend of Dai Ngoc Nhi", "Lac Du Nguyen" and most recently "Tu Hai Trong Minh", the 8x beauty still did not leave many marks in the hearts of the audience. .
In the past, Canh Diem was said to have been given the role by Yang Zi at the last minute because of his lackluster acting and unreasonably high salary.
Before the movie " Agarwood Fragrances Faded " aired in 2021, the image of Canh Diem trying to create the image of the female protagonist Nhan Dam was widely spread on social networks.
The actress wore a pink outfit and received many compliments for her sweet, harmonious beauty, extremely suitable for the character. However, the film crew suddenly announced that Duong Tu was the female lead of the film.
According to speculation from fans, Canh Diem's acting ability made the director unhappy, most likely unable to "carry" the film and co-star Thanh Nghi . In addition, the actress has an unreasonably high salary request compared to her actual ability, up to 100 million yuan (about 357 billion dong)/film.
Because of these reasons, Canh Diem missed out on a potential role that could have enhanced his reputation. It's worth mentioning that before that, the actress also had the movie "Tu Dang" aired, which attracted a bit of attention. If there is another famous historical drama like "Fading Agarwood and Fragrance", it will definitely be able to turn up the ranks of A-list Chinese actors.
On the other hand, if Duong Tu did not play the female lead, the movie "Faded Agarwood" might not be a big hit. Furthermore, at that time, rumors also appeared on social networks claiming that Hoan Thuy management company forced Duong Tu to accept the role while the actress herself did not want to continue supporting less popular male co-stars. .
Currently, Duong Tu is recognized as the actress with the most commercial value and stable acting ability among the 9x actors on the Chinese screen. She continuously made her mark with historical and modern series such as "Love School", "Thua Hoan Ky", "Want to Love Forever"...
Although the newly aired part 2 of "Love School" did not perform as well as expected, it is still a movie worth watching in the summer of 2024.
As for Canh Diem, the actress is not considered to have made much progress in acting. The actress is attached to the historical film genre that easily attracts viewers but still has not achieved any significant achievements.
