“The Nine Heavyweights” is currently one of the most popular Chinese historical dramas. Compared to projects currently airing such as “Black and White Forest” by Ding Yuxi and “The Imperial Concubine” by Tan Songyun, “The Nine Heavyweights” has better figures.
Currently, the topics surrounding the film attract a large audience on social media platforms. Many people commented that Meng Ziyi’s “Nine Heavy Sons” is reminiscent of the work “Mo Yu Yun Jian” starring Wu Jinyan and Wang Jingyue.
Viewers have pointed out similarities between the two films. First, “Cuu Trong Tu” and “ Mac Vu Van Gian” are both adapted from novels with elements of reincarnation, struggle, and revenge, each with its own unique appeal and interest.
With "Mo Vu Van Gian", the film is based on the original work "Dich Ga Thien Kim" by Thien Son Tra Khach, revolving around the journey of revenge of the female lead, Tiet Phuong Phi, with the help of Tuc Quoc Cong Tieu Hoanh.
Similarly, “The Nine Heavy Sons” by Mencius Yi and Li Junrui was adapted from the novel of the same name by author Chi Chi. The film revolves around the journey of Dou Zhao and Song Mo to seek justice. Although the film crew changed some details compared to the original story, the main content of “The Nine Heavy Sons” remains the same.
The plus point of “The Nine Deadly Sins” is the tight plot, with many exciting and dramatic details. The fast pace and many climaxes make the audience interested and have to follow along to understand the details.
In addition, the female lead character Dau Chieu in "Cuu Trong Tu" is highly appreciated, intelligent and strong, similar to Ngo Can Ngon's Xue Phuong Phi. Both Menh Tu Nghia and Ngo Can Ngon are appreciated for their roles, portraying the character image well.
Meanwhile, the male lead Ly Quan Nhue also received many compliments for his improved acting and outstanding beauty. The actor born in 1996 scored points with neat, decisive and beautiful action scenes when transforming into a deep, thorny general.
Like "The Legend of Fuyao", "The Nine Heavy Sons" was not highly rated at first, but gradually achieved good results thanks to its attractive content and stable acting, becoming the "dark horse" of the Chinese film market in 2024.
As for “The Nine Deadly Sins”, this is not Tencent’s key project, but the film has good quality, praised for its script, camera angles and “chemistry” of the actors.
After only 4 days of release, the film has reached nearly 29,000 temperature points, a similar achievement to “Mac Vu Van Gian” in its early days. The above number helps “Cuu Trong Tu” enter the top-rated films of Tencent Video.
According to statistics from various platforms, the figures for “Cuu Trong Tu” are very promising. The latest announcement from Van Hop shows that the number of viewers for “Cuu Trong Tu” has reached over 40 million and is expected to continue to increase sharply as the film enters its climax.
