Aired since June 26, "The Best Book of Dreams" quickly attracted attention thanks to its attractive content and good combination of Liu Yu Ning and Li Nhat Dong. Although he is considered to have a less than average performance than his co-star, Li Nhat Dong still has an outstanding salary.
According to Sohu, the actress received a salary of 500,000 yuan (1.7 billion VND) per film. In a total of 40 episodes, she earned a huge amount of 20 million yuan (about 72 billion VND). Meanwhile, Liu Yu Ning only received 15 million yuan (about 53 billion VND).
In 2016, Li Nhat Dong officially became involved in an acting career when appearing in Yu Zheng's Webdrama "Ban yeu thuong tu". At that time, her salary was revealed to be about 50,000 yuan (175 million VND)/episode. After many years, the actress's salary has also increased 10 times.
However, Ly Nhat Dong's performance in "The Best Book" was criticized as being inferior to Luu Vu Ninh. Although she tried to get out of her comfort zone with a humorous role, the actress did not have explosive scenes or acted too impressively.
As for Luu Vu Ninh, before that, he only received 12 million NDT (about 43 billion VND) when playing the role of Wei Shao in "Khom Dong". Although he has a modest salary compared to his female co-stars, it can be seen that the actor is gradually raising his salary thanks to his clear progress in acting.
Recently, "The Best Book" announced its Douban score of 7.0 with more than 30,000 votes. The film also reached 9,500 heat points on the iQIYI platform. The number of views of Van Hop reached 38.2 million, accounting for 18% of the online film market share. According to Vlinkage's ranking, the Nam Hanh/Ly Thap Luc character index (Liu Vu Ninh) reached 9.12, ranking top 2 only after Ha Duy Phuong (Duong Tu).
Before "The Best Book" aired, fans were worried because Ly Nhat Dong was known as a "werving" actress with talent and beauty but none of her works were famous. Liu Yu Ning caused controversy because of her "aforecast" appearance, limited expressions, and lack of flexibility.
The unexpected success of "The Best Book" has a positive impact on the careers of both Ly Nhat Dong and Luu Vu Ninh.
Although it aired at the same time as Duong Tu's "Cam Tu Phuong Hoa", the film is considered to have much better content, quality and achievements. It is expected that in the near future, the film will have many attractive and dramatic details that will surprise the audience.
