The historical drama "Axis of Jade" starring Truong Lang Hach and Dien Hi Vi is currently airing and receiving a lot of attention.
According to the latest statistics from the Yunhe platform on March 18, "Jade Axis" is currently accounting for 44.5% of the viewership market share of the Chinese TV drama market, reaching about 97 million views per day.
Previously, the film once accounted for more than 50% of the market share and exceeded 100 million views per day.
According to Sohu, in the film, Truong Lang Hach plays General Ta Chinh, impressing with the image of a muscular, majestic martial general. However, behind the "strong, solid" appearance and the feeling of strength is a laborious process of improving the male actor's physique.
Recently, in an interview, Truong Lang Hach revealed that he had gained quite a lot of weight to transform into this role, with a very frank reason: "Generals need to be a little bigger and stronger", and more importantly, because "the armor is extremely heavy, if you don't have strength, you really can't lift it up".
Truong Lang Hach's transformation from a scholarly and elegant image to a martial general in the battlefield began from feeling the character's "physical weight".
It is known that the armor that the general character wears in the film weighs more than 20kg. Truong Lang Hach admitted the difficulty when wearing it for the first time: "The first two times I wore it were really uncomfortable, it was too heavy", movement was limited, walking was very hard.
It was that genuine heavy feeling that made him determined to improve from the root. This motivated the male actor to improve his fitness and change his physique to truly "carry" the role.
Therefore, Truong Lang Hach started a methodical training regime. He arranged a gym at home, performed core strength training exercises daily and applied a scientific muscle building plan, regenerating his figure within half a year.
Weight gain and exercise not only aim to change his appearance but also help him be able to control his heavy armor and complete high-intensity action scenes.
From volunteer riding to fighting in the snow, the improvement in strength helps Truong Lang Hach more clearly show the bravery of a general. He also shared that through it he "really felt the hardship of ancient generals".
Notably, when mentioning his co-star Dien Hi Vi, the male actor also praised her fitness: "She is very healthy, probably normally does a lot of gym".
