In a recent interview with Sina Entertainment, Huynh Hieu Minh shared about his psychological journey since the beginning of his career.
The actor recalled that when he was young, he always tried his best to collaborate with big directors, wanting to win awards to prove himself. When he was mocked by netizens, he felt weak, it seemed like the whole world laughed at him.
In recent years, Huang Xiaoming has changed his thinking a lot. He was more proactive, accepting to act in some films that didn't earn money, but it was also an opportunity to be recognized. The "New Shanghai Wharf" star emphasized that he had given up his former star image.
Huynh Hieu Minh also recalled the past when he was mocked by netizens for the English song "not at all" during the performance of the song "One World One Dream" at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This incident once made Huang Xiaoming ashamed and fell into a state of depression for a period of time.
But now, the actor admits that what netizens say about him is true and tries to absorb it to improve himself.
According to Huang Xiaoming, the film industry has changed a lot: "Previously, our time was the rise of the " Four Great Kings", big films were starring Hong Kong (China) and Taiwan (China), we could only play second-hand men.
But now, big directors are increasingly willing to collaborate with young, highly popular actors.
I am really jealous of them, since I was young I had such a good opportunity. Yi Yang Qianxi and Zhu Yilong are both my good brothers, they are all very excellent.
The recently released movie "Anh Duong Club" helped Huynh Hieu Minh win the Best Actor award at the 2024 Shanghai International Film Festival (G kim Tuoc award).
At the end of September 2025, Huynh Hieu Minh continued to be nominated for the Best Actor category at this year's Golden Rooster Film Awards for his role in the film "Cau Aanh Duong Club".
In this work, to play the role of a man with limited intelligence with a plump, mistaken appearance and a native land, Huynh Hieu Minh tried to increase his weight by 15 kg compared to the original mark, causing his weight to nearly reach 100 kg.
Previously, Huynh Hieu Minh also showed his dedication to the role when he lost 15 kg within 1 month, to participate in the film "The Barber", playing the role of a middle-aged man with a Panny, aged appearance.
However, Huang Xiaoming's recent works have caused concern because of their low revenue. The film "Anh Duong Club" only earned 1.93 million yuan on the day of release and the total box office revenue is expected to be only about 8 million yuan.
Huang Xiaoming's two previous films, "The Last Truth" and "The Barber", also did not achieve good results.
