In a recent interview with director Liu Yang, the term "view-baiting actor" once again became a topic of discussion. However, this time, the director's tone is somewhat different: instead of criticizing, he praised actress Yang Mi, emphasizing her dedication and professionalism on the film set.
It is known that during the production of the historical drama "Sinh Van Vat", Duong Mich worked with the crew until 3-4 am to complete a scene of nearly 3 pages of script. This is a scene of "drinking alcohol on the mountain", which requires both subtle acting of the character Ninh Tu Tu, a pregnant woman, and must show complex inner psychological struggle.
If all celebrities are dedicated and can play their roles so well, why don't we take advantage of them? This is the advantage of this film; the director couldn't be happier," Luu Duong shared, directly calling Duong Mich a "star sought after and dedicated".
In the meeting that lasted from evening to early morning, Duong Mich actively participated in all aspects: from the character's motives, logic of each line of dialogue to prop design. She and the crew decided to replace the superficial "drinking contest" with a high-intensity "psychological battle", in order to highlight the intelligence and alertness of the character.
In addition to the efforts on the film set, Duong Mich also actively experiences rural life before filming, to understand the mindset and context of the characters. This dedication turns "fame" into professional energy, contributing to improving the overall quality of the film.
Director Luu Duong emphasized his point of view: "I do not refuse idols, nor do I refuse view-baiting stars; what I refuse is when they'only know how to get views'.
Duong Mich's action once again proves that fame and talent do not rule out each other. Through this example, the director called on the film industry to re-examine the true value of actors: take advantage of fame, but at the same time must respect art and responsibility for the role.
Finally, the fact that an actor is willing to work until 3 am is not only a personal contribution, but also a clear message to the entire industry: when talent truly goes hand in hand with fame, the market will gradually change its perspective and choice, towards quality and more sustainable products.
