On February 3rd, Vuong So Nhien's studio suddenly released an AI-generated video to promote the actress's upcoming movie "What's Next?".
This move was immediately opposed and criticized by fans. Many fans believe that the images in this AI video are fake, sinking Vuong So Nhien's beauty miserably because of her distorted face, strange effects, emotionless AI voice acting, and even many people cannot recognize Vuong So Nhien's face.
Fans were angry, criticizing the studio for working unprofessionally, lazily, not promoting the movie but "harming" the actress.
What makes fans explode the most is not only because of the bad video, but because of the studio's perfunctory attitude. When receiving criticism, the studio only silently deleted the video and did not have any further explanation, making fans unhappy.
Previously, fans had agreed with each other: resolutely not allowing AI to recreate the image of Vuong So Nhien, for fear of affecting her image. Therefore, the studio releasing an AI video made some fans sigh: "The opponent looks at it and feels relieved".
They are worried that this action will lower audience expectations for the film, especially at an important time when the film is only a few days away from release.
However, according to the media, the studio's controversial action unintentionally brought unexpected attention to the movie "What's Next".
The segment "How are you?" in the video was used by netizens to create humorous images. Some viewers also believe that the "ugly strange" AI video can become a reverse effect, creating heat for the work.
Besides, despite controversy in promotional activities, Vuong So Nhien's expectations for this film are still very high because the timeless ancient costume theme is interesting.
Vuong So Nhien plays Vuong Thuy Hoa, who is an ordinary office worker, accidentally steals into the palace novel, becoming Duu Van Am - a demonic villain who is destined to die.
The male lead Ha Hau Dam is played by Thua Loi, outwardly a cold tyrant, but in fact is a middle school student named Truong Tam who traveled through space from 10 years ago. To survive, the two decided to cooperate with each other.
Previously, the film's broadcast path went through many upheavals. Initially, the film was scheduled to air in June 2025, then moved to December of the same year, but was eventually changed to February 6, 2026.
The repeated postponement is said to be to edit more carefully and avoid clashes with other films of the main actor.
However, "What's Next" is facing a strong opponent, "Duong Cung Ky An" starring Bach Loc and Vuong Tinh Viet, scheduled to be released on February 5.
