Over the past month, the movie "Nine Heavy Sons" and actors Meng Ziyi and Li Junrui have been hotly searched and discussed keywords on social networks in and outside China.
The success of the film comes from its logical, engaging content, the actors' harmonious acting, and the beautiful, polished direction and setting. After the film, Meng Ziyi and Li Junrui both had many new opportunities.
As for Meng Ziyi, the actress once admitted that there was a time when she was “starved” for work because no film crew sent her scripts. But thanks to the role of Dou Zhao in the film “The Nine Heavy Sons”, her career path turned a new page.
“Around August - September 2023, after the movie “The Story of Forget-me-Not”, the number of scripts sent to me started to increase. This continued until this year. But it wasn’t until “The Nine Heavy Sons” aired that I received so many scripts that my hands went numb.”
Although she has not revealed her next project after "Cuu Trong Tu", the media said that because of Meng Ziyi's outstanding ancient costume, most of the scripts she currently accepts are ancient films.
Most recently, the actress has a movie called "Peach Blossoms and the River" with Liu Xue Yi waiting to air.
The film is adapted from the famous novel "Peach Blossoms in the Mountains" by author Bach Lo Thanh Song, telling the love story of Khuong Dao Hoa - the intelligent and noble princess of Trieu country and Tham Tai Da - the powerful but cold Left Prime Minister.
Their story begins with fighting and suspicion, but gradually turns into deep understanding and love as they face danger and political intrigue together.
In the first images of the two stars released by the producer, we can see the attractive yet proud beauty of Manh Tu Nghia in the role of Khuong Dao Hoa. Meanwhile, his co-star Luu Hoc Nghia is masculine and cold in the role of the scheming and cunning Left Minister.
Media reviews say the film's content is tinged with hatred and intellectual battles, promising to attract audiences, while the strong acting of the "Song Nghia" couple will bring about an explosion.
If “Peach Blossoms and the River” airs in 2025 and is successful, Meng Ziyi’s reputation will be strengthened. Along with that, if the next projects she participates in are well-invested, her co-stars are famous and have good acting skills, it will easily cause a stir when they air.
Especially now, not only her film assets but also her commercial value is on the rise. She has now “pocketed” 8 new advertising deals after “Cuu Trong Tu”.
