Adapted from the novel of the same name by author Chi Chi, the film "Nine Heavy Sons" revolves around the two lives of Dou Zhao (Mencius) and Song Mo (Li Junrui).
Thanks to the bond, they work together to make those who harmed them pay. In the process, they also develop feelings for each other.
Aired since December 6, the work has now gone more than halfway and received much love from the audience.
Besides the evaluation of the reasonable and logical plot, when the female lead, although reborn (living again), cannot completely change her fate and must accept the laws of nature to try to change her second life, the film is also praised for its natural acting, creating a feeling of a couple.
The voiceover is engaging and appropriate, making the characters more vivid, along with the director's aesthetic sense with beautiful scenes and smooth transitions, which are also plus points of the movie "The Nine Deadly Sins".
In fact, 3 days before the film aired, the post-production team of "The Nine Deadly Sins" still had to meet the deadline for the film's effects, especially the scene where the male and female leads were reborn.
According to the producer, this was the scene that required the most investment, the editing time was long, the color correction alone took 7 days. Along with that, the processing of every detail such as lighting, the actors' stopping points, each piece of broken mirror or background music... was also carefully polished.
It is worth mentioning that this was done by the post-production team on the premise of keeping the original green screen footage of the actors intact.
As soon as the actual video and the post-production video were posted, many viewers left compliments, as the crew tried their best to bring viewers beautiful visual effects but also natural and romantic for the couple Tong Mac - Dau Chieu.
Chinese media highly appreciated the movie "Nine Heavy Sons" because it was originally an A-level project (normal investment level), but the crew worked meticulously and the broadcasting effect was as good as an S-level project (high investment).
The way director Tang Khanh Kiet creates beautiful, dreamy and emotional frames is also mentioned.
Before that, in the kissing scene of the main couple, to get a satisfactory shot, the director asked Manh Tu Nghia and Ly Quan Nhue to practice many times. The director's wife even showed the two stars many videos to learn how to turn their heads and change angles when kissing.
“The director didn’t let us separate but asked us to kiss while rotating our faces. But could we rotate our faces like that? How could we rotate them? Then, once we were able to rotate our faces, the director immediately said into the walkie-talkie: “Let’s kiss. Move your mouths. Where’s your head? Rotate. Change your face angle” - Manh Tu Nghia shared.
The actress added that even when they had a satisfactory kissing scene, the director did not call cut and she had to stop and push her co-star away.
Although it is a highly rated work, the film “Cuu Trong Tu” still has some regrettable shortcomings. Some scenes feel like short films, many episodes are too fast-paced, or in the second life, the male and female leads meet with strange identities but look at each other with suggestive eyes.
