Recently, the TV series set in the People's Army "Hoa Ngoc Lan, Nguoi Duong De" officially announced the filming.
Duong Tu's words: "The famous Dong Truc Quan, meet in the pearl flower season" immediately fueled the anticipation of the online community.
But what really caught the attention of the story was her "special" preparation for the film. Before the filming started, Duong Tu personally visited the cemetery to visit Mrs. Dong Truc Quan.
This time, Duong Tu will play Dong Truc Quan - a legendary woman of Shanghai, the founder of Cam Giang Hotel. The character ranges in age from a girl singing in the blue closet at the age of 13 to a 58-year-old businesswoman, spanning 45 years of ups and downs in life.
This is not only Duong Tu's first biographical role, but also the first time in her career that she has had to play a character with an age difference of more than 40 years. The pressure was so great that the actress frankly shared in the livestream: "This is a huge challenge."
The trip to the cemetery to visit Mrs. Dong Truc Quan's grave became the "key" for Duong Tu to enter the role. She recounted her feelings: "At that moment, I felt like Mrs. Dong Truc Quan was telling me: I have given my whole life to you, I hope you will perform well".
This action is considered by the online community as "an act of the highest level of awareness of an actress", and at the same time shows the actress's respect and determination to devote all her efforts to the role.
Yang Zi has prepared very carefully for the film. Her learning of Shanghaiese, Japanese, civil rights rituals and Taoism is only the basic part; the core is the study of a large amount of historical documents, trying to understand every moment in Dong Truc Quan's life.
During the audition, Yang Zi hugged the actors into the role of Dong Truc Quan's 5 children and burst into tears, quickly building emotional connection, and soon entering the state of a mother.
However, there is also controversy over Yang Zi's ability. Some viewers question whether the young Beijing actress can fully perform the resilient charisma of the legendary woman of Shanghai?
Can an unmarried 9X actor accurately grasp the inner thoughts of a mother who has gone through many storms? Some opinions say that regional differences and living experiences are also a difficult challenge to overcome.
Notably, this is also the third collaboration between Duong Tu and Au Hao, and the first time they have acted together in a TV series. Au Hao is expected to play the male lead Ha Chi Thoi - Dong Truc Quan's husband in a transformation.
From Ha Tuyet in "Gia dinh co mot co gai" to "the founder of Cam Giang Hotel", this transformation of Duong Tu is not simply a challenge of age. It is like a public test of professionalism and respect for the acting profession.
The film market also relies on in-depth roles like this to evaluate the ability of actors in the "streamage era" - the era when popular, online famous stars dominate the market.
