Bach Loc and Dam Tung Van recently became two names mentioned a lot in a debate between groups of fans.
The reason starts from comparisons of TV series achievements and unofficial titles, including the term "CVB901" - a term used by the fan community to refer to actresses born after 1990 with outstanding achievements in viewership ratings.
The debate broke out when Bach Loc and Dam Tung Van fans gave different criteria to evaluate the position of the two actors.
Bach Loc focuses on the highest achievement of a specific work, especially the movie "Bac Thuong". According to data shared by fans, the movie achieved a CVB rating of 3.615% on CCTV-1, creating a basis for them to believe that Bach Loc is possessing outstanding achievements in viewership ratings.
Dam Tung Van's fans do not agree with the assessment based only on the outstanding achievements of a film, but believe that the actress's results should be viewed on many different works and platforms.
In her career, Dam Tung Van has 3 movies that once topped the annual rating chart of Hunan Television Station. Among them, "In the Name of Family" achieved a viewership rate of 1.189%, both leading in the year and becoming one of the notable high ratings of the station.
Two other works, "Road Home" and "You're More Beautiful Than Starlight", also respectively topped the annual rankings of Hunan Television, with viewership ratings of 0.575% and 0.534%.
Besides her achievements on satellite television, Dam Tung Van also made her mark with "My Mountains and Sea", when the film once topped the year's rating on CCTV-8 with 2.226%.
These figures are the basis for fans to believe that her achievements should be evaluated overall instead of just relying on one individual work.
When the data tables were released for comparison, the discussion quickly became controversial about who deserved the title of "number one actress".
However, "CVB901" is not an official title awarded by an agency or professional organization. This is mainly a name formed in the fan community, so the determination of the "leader" depends heavily on the criteria that each party chooses.
If considering the highest achievement of a film, the result may lean towards an actor; but if considering the number of works, stability and achievements across multiple platforms, the ranking may be different.
Unfortunately, the debate between a part of Bach Loc and Dam Tung Van fans went too far at times, with both personal attacks and mentions of private life.
In general, the comparison of the two actresses mainly stems from differences in achievements and how to assess fame. Titles set by fans are only for reference, difficult to use to determine who is really at the top.
