Among the young actresses born after 1990 in the Chinese entertainment industry, Li Qin is always considered a face that gathers all the elements to shine: excellent beauty, strong acting and a clean private life.
She has made her mark with many roles that are loved by audiences such as Dien Tieu Nga in Bach Loc Thoi or princess Nguyen Thuan in So Kieu Truyen. However, contrary to expectations, Ly Tham's career development path has become increasingly unstable.
In other films, Li Qin is often given female leads but is the "groundwork" for the male lead. Projects such as "Khanh Du Nien" and "Truy Phong Ly" are all films highly appreciated by experts, but their achievements are mainly associated with the male cast.
Although Ly Tham still performed well in her role, she could not take advantage of the overall success of the work to create her own mark.
When switching to the romance and historical genre - where flowers often easily bloom, Ly Tham still did not get the necessary boost. A series of projects that she starred in such as "Hai Thuong Phon Hoa", "Thien Quan" or "Seven Nights of Snow" did not achieve good results, and were even criticized for being bland and lacking appeal.
Recently, her film "Nhat Tieu Duong Ca" was also in a situation where there were few viewers, almost unable to resonate on social networking platforms.
It is worth mentioning that even when famous colleagues such as Truong Nhuoc Quan, Cung Tuan, Tang Thuan Hi or Truong Van Y simultaneously shared and called for support for the film on social networks, "Nhat Tieu Van Ca" still limited in views and discussions. Despite having a good network of relationships in the industry, the media effect around Ly Tham is still quite weak.
Chinese media believes that Ly Tham's problem lies not in his ability but in his image orientation. The fact that she continuously takes gentle, quiet roles makes it difficult for the public to find novelty. While the young actresses of the same period such as Yang Zi or Bai Lu had a breakthrough, Li Qin was still struggling with the image of a "female character".
If there is no change in script selection and performance style soon, Ly Tham will easily fall behind in the fierce competition of the Chinese film industry.
