The reason comes from a series of images and excerpts promoting the new movie "Bach Nhat De Dang", where both appear in opposite shapes, causing many mixed opinions.
In this project, Dilraba Dilmurat plays the Devil King - a character with a youthful appearance like an 18-year-old girl. However, according to the comments of a part of the audience, the image on screen has not really created the feeling of "young woman" as expected. Especially, when standing next to Chen Feiyu - a male actor with a youthful appearance, a bookish face - the age difference in real life (8 years old) seems to be even more obvious.
Many opinions believe that the problem does not entirely lie in real age but comes from "character status" and how it is portrayed on screen. In some close-up frames, Dilireba still retains sharp lines, captivating aura, but brings a more mature and cold look than the innocence and purity of a young girl. This makes the character setting and visual perception of the audience not really consistent.
Besides the age debate, another stream of opinions focuses on the difference between feature films and short films. Through the promotional images of short films with cinematic colors in the past, many people commented that Dilireba is particularly prominent in short film or stylish video products. There, the image part is carefully processed with a thick filter layer, lighting and color are optimized, helping to enhance the beauty and charisma of the actress.
Some audiences frankly believe that the short film format does not put much emphasis on long-term acting, instead focusing on visuals and immediate emotions. This inadvertently becomes an advantage for actors with outstanding appearances like Dilireba. Even, some opinions compare her image in these products to "being as beautiful as AI", both perfect and difficult to find limitations.
However, it is also necessary to recognize that these are only personal comments from a part of the audience. In fact, Dilireba is still one of the leading faces of Chinese cinema, with a large fan base and stable media attraction.
The story of age difference in movies is not new, but it always becomes a topic of debate every time a "age-gap" couple appears. With the case of Dilireba and Chen Feiyu, audiences are still waiting for more official developments from the project to have a more comprehensive view, instead of just evaluating through initial images.
