Ngu Thu Han once made her mark through films such as "Thuong lan quyet", "Vinh da tinh ha", "Van chi vu"... Thanks to the success of these films, the actress quickly became a face sought after by many producers. But recently, her appeal has been said to have decreased significantly after controversies related to her private life.
Last year, Esther Yu was accused of bullying, causing colleagues to become depressed. In addition, her family's company was also accused of corruption of 1.5 billion CNY (5.8 trillion VND), tax evasion and other illegal business activities.
Although this information has not been verified to date and the actress has not had an official response, the controversies have somewhat affected her image in the public eye. Even Ngu Thu Han was once ranked as a high-risk artist in Cbiz.
Therefore, the new tiên hiệp project named "Trường sinh cốt" is considered an important opportunity for Ngu Thư Hân to regain her form. However, the film continuously encountered obstacles right from the preparation stage, causing many viewers to doubt the success prospects of the film.
First, the project changed its name many times. Initially, the film was named "Fairy's Skin", then changed to "Remembering Tears" and then finalized the name as "Truong Sinh Cot". The continuous change of film names makes many viewers think that the film crew has not yet found a suitable direction for promotion. Many opinions commented that the current film name is quite familiar and has not created a highlight compared to many other tiên hiệp projects on the market.
Besides, the fantasy genre is no longer as attractive as in the previous period. In recent years, many films on the same topic have been heavily invested in but have not achieved outstanding results in terms of views and discussions. Therefore, many people are cautious when evaluating the prospects of "Trường sinh cốt".
Notably, the male lead role has not yet been determined. Ha Du, Dang Vi, Hau Minh Hao, Ho Nhat Thien and Tran Tinh Huc were once rumored to be paired with Ngu Thu Han in this project, but so far no actor has confirmed that they will take on the role.
According to Up Media, the process of choosing the male lead faced many difficulties due to factors related to actor rankings and controversies surrounding the female lead. Although there is no verified information from the film crew, the fact that the male lead role is still open as the filming time is approaching has made viewers worried.
Truong Sinh Cot" is adapted from the novel "Fairy's Sceak" by writer Nhat Do Quan Hoa. The content revolves around Dung Tran Tu, the leader who is said to have changed Loc Ton Tinh Quan's position. Because he has a bloodline with special appeal to demons, he becomes the target of Ha Phan (Ngu Thu Han)'s approach.
Initially, Ha Phan tried to take Dung Tran Tu's heart blood to help Thuan Vu Lam overcome the disaster. But in the process, both are gradually drawn into events related to ancient gods and secrets that have been buried for a long time. The story intertwines between feelings, sacrifice and tearful choices, exploiting the fragile boundaries between belief and doubt.
Despite owning a masterpiece with a certain number of fans, "Trường sinh cốt" still faces a lot of pressure before the opening day, from the controversies surrounding Ngu Thư Hân to the continuous name changes and the failure to finalize the male lead. Whether the film will help the actress regain her form or not still has to wait for an answer when officially released.
