Once one of the most prominent actresses of the 85s, Duong Mich's career is said to be on the decline. For 6 consecutive years, the actress has not had a single movie that made a splash.
In the past 6 years, Yang Mi's most viewed online drama was "The Lady of the Pearl" (36 million views), and her least viewed drama was "The Fox Spirit: The Red Moon" (14 million views).
Although they belong to the historical drama genre - Duong Mich's forte, the achievements of these works are all mediocre. The actress's highest-viewed film is still far behind her colleagues' works shown at the same time such as "Du Phuong Hanh" (68.55 million views), "Mong Hoa Luc" (48.37 million views).
Even the highly invested adaptation "The Fox Demon: The Red Moon" failed miserably, far behind "Eternal Night Galaxy" despite having the same producer, Vuong Nhat Hu, and the company Hang Tinh Dan Luc.
For 6 years, Duong Mich has not had any film that has achieved a Douban score of 6.0. Her series only fluctuated between 3.5 - 5.9 points with a series of negative comments, criticizing the content as well as the acting.
Duong Mich's last hit work was "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which aired in 2017 with 484 million views and a douban score of 6.5.
While still working as an artist under Gia Hanh management company, fans unanimously believed that it was the company's busy schedule and poor script selection that kept Duong Mich from having a hot movie.
After working independently, unexpectedly the actress's career plummeted even more miserably when both online dramas, TV series and movies were miserable failures.
It is not the management company or the script, but her limited acting ability that is the fatal weakness that prevents Duong Mich's career from developing, even going backwards. Even though she has been acting for many years, she still has the habit of pursing her lips when speaking, her expression is stiff, her eyes are dull and lifeless... making viewers disappointed.
The actress also did not realize that she needed to improve her acting skills to act in drama and cinema genres... instead of just historical films and romantic entertainment.
The actress will soon have the film "Sinh van vat" ready to air. Adapted from the novel Luu loi va quyet dem by author Trieu Duc Phat, the work deeply explores the theme of the countryside, especially the image of strong and resilient peasant women.
The film is invested and produced by the IQIYI platform with a cast including Duong Mich, Au Hao, Nghe Dai Hong, Tan Hai Lo, Hinh Phi, Truong Thien Duong, Truong Hai Vu, Tri Bong, Ton Thieu Long...
"Sinh Van Vat" is expected to air in early 2025 on the IQIYI platform and is expected to revive Duong Mich's career.
