On April 18, actor Peter Ho caused a stir in Chinese media and social networks when he appeared at the Tuc Thien Olympic Sports Center to attend the "Su Chao 2026" Football Tournament of Jiangsu province (China).
14 years after the movie "Han So Legend" (2012), Ha Nhuan Dong once again brings back the image of "Tay So Ba Vuong" Xiang Yu, cheering for the homeland of General Xiang Yu - Tuc Thien - in the match against the Nanjing team.
Ha Nhuan Dong wore a vest weighing more than 10kg, restored by the original costume team of the TV series "Han Chu Legend", standing on a chariot parading around the stadium with a resolute face, unchanged hegemony, making the entire stadium explode.
With the investment in styling and media scale of the event, many people speculate that the Tuc Thien Department of Culture and Tourism may have spent significant money to invite Ha Nhuan Dong to appear.
This speculation is based on the fact that the 50-year-old actor recently became a hot face thanks to the role of Xiang Yu causing a fever again.
Before the wave of comparisons and criticisms against the image of "martial general with makeup" of Truong Lang Hach in the movie "Chuc Ngoc", Ha Nhuan Dong was unexpectedly praised as the "ancient martial general model" of the Chinese screen.
In just 1 month, his social media account increased by nearly 2 million followers, and at the same time had 5-6 advertising contracts and new cooperation invitations despite not acting for many years.
However, the Tuc Thien Department of Culture and Tourism said that Ha Nhuan Dong did not accept the cat-xe when accepting the invitation to participate in the To Sieu awards. He came entirely out of affection, even without signing a commercial contract.
Moreover, he does not wear casual clothes or appear for formality, but has paid great attention to dressing up as Hang Vu with a professional attitude. This is not only respect for the role, respect for the audience, but also respect for the land that has created that image.
According to Sohu, Ha Nhuan Dong made a wise decision not to receive remuneration at this event. What he received was even greater than money, which was the affection of the general public.
Ha Nhuan Dong became famous for the role of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is from Xutian, Xutian invited him to "return home" - in the end, both Ha Nhuan Dong and the tournament, as well as the audience attending, benefited.
Ha Nhuan Dong did not spend a penny on PR, but his "Khí chất Bá Vương" reputation still caused a social media storm for many consecutive days. Tuc Thien did not have to pay a cat-xe, but the city's recognition skyrocketed. Audiences did not have to pay extra for tickets but still watched a performance that "went down in history".
Ha Nhuan Dong is doing something that few artists over 50 can do.
