Recently, the Bach Ngoc Lan Awards have officially announced the nominations for the Best Actress category. Notably, Duong Tu is a rare young actress of the 9x generation to make this nomination list.
The actress is highly appreciated for the movie "Quoc sac phuong hoa" aired earlier this year. Playing the role of Ha Duy Phuong, the daughter of a single-parent flower trader, Duong Tu portrays a smart, strong but still sophisticated and compassionate character.
This role of the 9x beauty is considered to have changed and improved significantly compared to previous works.
However, many opinions say that Yang Zi still has a big gap with the artists nominated like Tong Giai, Ma Y Loi... She is inferior to her seniors in terms of age, professional age and acting ability. Even Tuong Han - who is highly appreciated for her "mental" acting ability - also took the initiative to compete in the supporting female category. Therefore, the appearance of Yang Zi in the list of nominees for Best Actress has made the public question a big question mark.
In addition, the theme of the film "Quoc sac phuong hoa" is not too new or special. Historical works are more oriented towards entertainment, not a drama theme with profound humanistic meaning. The film only has a Douban score of 7.8, far behind "When the Wild Flowers Bloom" (9.6 points) or "My Thailand" (8.9 points).
Previously, Duong Tu was nominated for Best Actress at the 2024 Magnolia Awards for her role as Tieu Yeu in "Truong Tuong Tu". This is also a work of pure romantic and entertaining historical romance, with many controversies about the content, filming quality, special effects, and acting.
The fact that Yang Zi has been nominated for the Magnolia Award for 2 consecutive years thanks to her idol historical dramas has made the audience indignant, even questioning the fairness and transparency of this long-standing award.
The Magnolia Awards are one of the most prestigious and oldest film and television awards in China, first held in 1962. The award is presented by China Central Television (CCTV) to honor outstanding actors and works of the year.
A series of outstanding artists on the Chinese screen such as Chau Tan, Ho Ca, Ton Le... have all won the Ngoc Lan Bach Award after many years of efforts to improve their acting.
