On September 10, the Chinese crime drama project set in the 1990s, "Above the Wall," announced its main cast after more than a month of filming.
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Tu Xung. The two main actors announced are Ly Quang Khiet and Ai Mi. In addition, the film has the participation of actors Chu Chau, Dong Khiet, Trieu Nguy, Thai Lo, Cao Chi Dinh.
The series is expected to have 18 episodes and will be released on the online platform Youku.
Notably, this is the first film in which the 2008-born actress Ai Mi plays the main role.
She impressed with her short hair in a tomboy style, contrasting with her usual feminine long hair image and also very different from the roles she has played.
This June, the historical drama " The Legend of Fuyao " aired on the Youku platform and became one of the most popular Chinese works of 2024.
Besides the two main actors Vuong Tinh Viet and Ngo Can Ngon, the supporting actress Ai Mi is also a notable face.
Ai Mi plays Dong Nhi, the maid of Miss Khuong Le (Duong Sieu Viet). After Khuong Le dies and lets Tiet Phuong Phi (Ngo Can Ngon) change her identity, Dong Nhi continues to be the maid of Tiet Phuong Phi.
Ngai Me made an impression from the first seconds she appeared on screen. Her beauty was so outstanding that it confused the audience, making it difficult to distinguish who was the maid and who was the young lady when paired with Duong Sieu Viet.
After that, Ai Mi also had many moments of overshadowing the beauty of the female lead Ngo Can Ngon.
The fact that Dong Nhi had to sacrifice his life to save the female lead in episode 28 of "Mac Vu Van Gian" made the audience regretful.
According to producer Vu Chinh, unlike the original novel, Ngai Me's character had to die early in the film because the actress had a busy school schedule and could not devote all her time to filming.
Before that, Ngai Mi was known as a child actress since she was 6 years old.
In the past 2-3 years, she has become familiar to audiences through a series of supporting roles in the films "Hoc Chau phu nhan" (as Tat Li A), "Tha thi thi thien ha" (as Bach Lang Hoa), "Thieu nien ca hanh" (as Hoa Cam), "Truong phong do" (as An Hong), "Van chi vu" (as Van Tuoc), "Mac vu van gian" (as Dong Nhi)...
Ngải Mễ has a pure appearance, big round eyes full of vitality, a sweet smile, and is said to have a very unique classical style. At the age of 16, Ngải Mễ was called by many audiences with the nickname "little fairy".
Besides acting, Ngai Mi is a model for many fashion brands such as MiuMiu, Dior, Fendi, Celine, Valentino, FRED...
Despite her young age, Ai Mi has received positive feedback about her acting ability. Audiences expect that Ai Mi's first leading role in the movie "Chengxiang Zhishang" will help her name to break through.
