In a recent interview, Tieu Chien shared more about the process of taking the male lead role in "Tang Hai Truyen" and his parents' reaction when they learned that he was acting in this film.
The actor revealed that director Trinh Hieu Long had planned to film and invited him to participate since 2022. However, restoring the setting, editing the script as well as completing the cast took up to 1 year. Therefore, it was not until the end of 2023 that "Tang Hai Truyen" officially started filming.
Tieu Chien affirmed that his parents are "favorites" of director Trinh Hieu Long. The two still regularly review a series of his famous works such as "The Golden Palace of Chan Hoan Truyen", "My Nguyet Truyen", "Cao Thuong Thuong"...
When the actor announced that he would film "Tang Hai Truyen", his parents were both excited and worried: "My parents ' warn' me to act well, I definitely won't let the director lose his face".
In addition, Xiao Zhan also shared a scene that made him especially impressed, which was the burial scene in the Imperial Mausoleum. To complete this scene, the film crew restored a real tomb.
Although he is very committed to the role, being constantly in a narrow and dusty space, not seeing the sunlight makes the actor's health clearly decline. However, Xiao Zhan said that he took the initiative to bring some physical equipment to the set to practice in his free time.
Tieu Chien's shares received a lot of sympathy from the audience. In the comments section, many people praised the actor for his professional and modest spirit. His acting in "Tang Hai Truyen" has also made remarkable progress compared to previous works.
After finishing on June 4, "Tang Hai Truyen" reached 10,465 heat points on the Youku platform. The average rating on CCTV8 channel reached 1.4%, ranking top 1 in viewership ratings in the last 5 years of historical dramas on CCTV8.
platforms such as Douyin and Weibo have confirmed that "Tang Hai Truyen" is a hit film of 2025, attracting a lot of interaction and discussion.
After the failure of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", this is a work to save the reputation of Xiao Zhan. The actor affirmed his ability to attract advertising as well as a significant number of viewers in the TV series category.
