Recently, Sina announced a list of actors considered to be pillars of the Chinese television industry in 2025 by age. The list was compiled by Sina Entertainment in collaboration with 50 media outlets, compiled from the Weibo Vision Conference on Character of the Year and experts in the entertainment industry.
In the 90s generation of actors (born in 1990-1994), Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Zi are the two most prominent female stars. While Duong Tu is familiar with the audience thanks to a series of films such as "Truong Tuong Tu", "Huong mat cua hoong suong", "Quoc sac phuong hoa", Dilraba Dilmurat also left her mark with "Tam sinh tam thuy hai hoa", "Nguoi tinh kim", "Em la khoe anh".
In addition, both Duong Tu and Dilraba Dilmurat are "favorites" of brands because of their high recognition and large fan base.
The notable actors are Thanh Nghi, Luu Vu Ninh, Tieu Chien and Dan Kien Thu. In particular, Xiao Zhan is the male star who stands out thanks to the success of the movie "Tran Tinh Do". Later, he continuously had hot films on air such as "Ngoc Cot Dao", "Tang Hai Truyen"...
The most popular female stars of the 95 generation (born in 1995-1999) are Bai Lu, Guan Xiaotong, Meng Ziyi, Tong To Nhi. The male stars are Dinh Vu He, Vuong An Vu, Vuong Hac De, Truong Lang Hac.
Notably, Bach Loc is a rare female star who has continuously had works on air and received good feedback such as "Truong Nguyet Tan Chien", "Ninh An Nhu Mong", "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh"... In which, "Bac Thuong" is the film that marked the actress's clear progress in acting ability.
Fans were confused when Zhao Lusi and Yu Shuxin did not appear in this list. According to speculation, because of the conflict with the management company, Zhao Lusi's career is frozen, unable to accept new film scripts or appear continuously on major news channels.
Ngu Thu Han also received negative feedback from public opinion because of her family's personality and business. Many people believe that Sina intentionally did not name the actress to avoid unnecessary controversies.
Actors of the 00 generation (born in 2000 and above) are expected to be Liu Haoran, Zhao Jinmai, Tran Phi Vu, Pham Thua Thua, Vuong Tinh Viet, Chu Duc Nhien... Among them, only a few have made an impression and been recognized by the audience such as Liu Haoran, Zhao Jinmai and Vuong Tinh Viet.
