"Fox Sports" by Thanh Nghi is the most watched historical drama at the moment. In contrast to the huge investment budget, the film makes the audience bored with a series of issues of makeup, special effects, overuse of green screen, and post-production editing through speakers.
Currently, the popularity of "Pho Son Hai" has reached more than 8,000 points on the iQIYI platform and 26,000 points on the Tencent platform. The number of views in the film dropped sharply in 2 days, from 46 million to 38 million views, accounting for 26% of the market share of online films.
On the international film review page IMDb, "Pho Son Hai" dropped from 4.0 to 3.4 points with most of its ratings being 1 and 2 stars.
Sohu said that after "Lien Hoa Lau", Thanh Nghi's appeal has decreased sharply because of the similar roles, without any novelty. The actor's acting and voice have not improved.
He was even criticized for being lazy, not being proficient in dialogue, always carrying scripts on set.
Although Thanh Nghi has many invitations to act in films, most of them are martial arts historical films, invested and produced by the management company Hoan Thuy. The actor had to "carry" the film entirely because his co-stars were new stars, not yet known to many audiences, and the number of fans was limited.
This not only hindered Thanh Nghi's career from developing but also caused his reputation to decline.
Recently, the film project "Duong Tu Phuong Nhat Nhat" by Thanh Nghi and Lam Canh Tan suddenly announced a postponement of filming for unknown reasons. The previous film's setting was also dismantled, causing fans to worry.
However, some other opinions say that this is a valuable time for Thanh Nghi to reorient his acting career and stabilize his health. Previously, the actor was constantly injured while performing action scenes on set.
At the end of this year, Thanh Nghi still has two films planned to air, "The Red Lady's Lake: The Power of heaven" and "Truong An 24-0". If he continues to fail, Thanh Nghi will face the biggest crisis of his career.
