"Binh Van Tu" is one of the most notable films on Chinese screens in the summer of 2025. However, the female lead Duong Mich has a surprisingly low salary.
According to Sohu, Duong Mich only received 3.1 million NDT (about 11 billion VND) for the female lead role of Ninh Tu Tu. This figure is only half of the salary she was paid in the movie "The Red River: The Red River".
Previously, Duong Mich's career declined rapidly due to a series of failed works such as "Harbin 1944", "The Red River: The Red River" and "There's nothing that a hotpot can't solve".
The actress received criticism for her stiff expression, bad mouth, poor voice, blurred vision, and sleepiness. She also did not have good "chemistry" with her male co-stars. At that time, the 8x beauty was under heavy pressure, even advised to stop acting, withdraw to manage an entertainment company and train a young actor class.
With an attractive theme and a quality crew, "Since Thousands of Things" is a valuable opportunity for Duong Mich to prove her progress in acting and regain the sympathy of the audience. Therefore, despite the unattractive budget, the 8x beauty still participates in this film project.
The remaining actors of "Seven Nights of the Galaxy" also received modest salaries. The male lead Au Hao has a salary of 1.5 million yuan (about 5 billion VND), equal to half of Duong Mich. The supporting female Dinh Phi received 1.3 million yuan (about 4.5 billion VND). Other veteran actors such as Tan Hai Lo, Nghe Dai Hong, Lam Doanh Oanh, each received 1 million yuan (about 3.6 billion VND).
According to Sohu, the low cost of film production and salary are common difficulties of the film industry at the present time. This also shows that artists understand and prioritize participating in quality films over films with high salaries.
After more than 2 weeks on air, " synth Van Tu" ended with an impressive achievement. According to Khuc Van, the film has over 100 million views, accounting for over 30% of the online film market share. In addition, the film's popularity reached 11,000 points, officially in the top 2 films with the highest scores in the history of this platform.
On CCTV8 channel, the film has a rating (viewership rate) of 4.0%, holding the championship position in terms of viewership of the channel in 2025.
Before filming "Born of the Thousand exploration" , Duong Mich experienced life in a remote village in the Son Dong area. The actress not only learned how to work in a similar way but also talked and learned about many women here to portray the image of a farmer woman in the most realistic and vivid way.
In the film, Duong Mich's appearance and acting received a storm of compliments from the audience. The actress left her bare face, wore simple clothes, and even deliberately did makeup to keep her skin Sharp and sunny.
In the scenes opposite Tan Hai Lo, the actress was not left behind, but on the contrary, she deeply expressed the character's inner thoughts. The 8x beauty's crying scenes also brought tears to the audience because they were so emotional.
