Dilraba Dilmurat's return with the historical drama "White Sunday" did not meet expectations when her achievements soon showed signs of slowing down, especially when compared to the outstanding success of "Truong Tuong Tu" - a film of the same genre starring Yang Zi.
Right from the first day of broadcasting, Bach Nhat De Dang recorded quite positive interest with the heat point exceeding 26,000 and tens of millions of views. However, the growth momentum quickly stalled when the indices only increased slightly day by day, the number of viewers went sideways and lacked breakthroughs, showing signs of early breathlessness.
Meanwhile, "Truong Tuong Tu" (2023) starring Duong Tu is considered one of the most successful historical films of the year. Right from its broadcast, part one of Truong Tuong Tu has recorded more than 27,000 hot points and over 20 million views.
On the second day, the film accelerated impressively, quickly surpassing the 30,000 heat points mark and reaching more than 50 million views. In the peak period, the work maintained stable attraction, even reaching a peak of more than 33,000 heat points and reaching 100 million views per day.
Not only outstanding in terms of data, "Truong Tuong Tu" also maintained stable attraction throughout its broadcast, continuously leading the hotness chart and attracting a large number of viewers. This success contributed to consolidating Duong Tu's position in the historical romance film genre, while creating a high standard of comparison for projects in the same genre.
The clear gap in achievements puts "Black and White" at a disadvantage. In the context of the fiercely competitive Chinese film market, a work that fails to maintain its growth rate can easily fall behind and find it difficult to achieve the title of "bold film".
Pressure is therefore partly placed on the role of Dilraba Dilmurat - a star with a large fan base but still lacking a project to create a prominent mark in recent times. Many opinions suggest that the actress needs to choose scripts more carefully, and at the same time look for deeper roles to create a clear breakthrough in her career.
However, when "Bach Nhat De Dang" is still in the broadcast process, the situation may still change if the film creates a turning point in content or audience effect in the near future.
