Sohu (China), Duong Mich has gone from a girl being oppressed to a rules-setter in the entertainment industry. Every step of Duong Mich must overcome many difficulties but also shows intelligence and is an inspirational story for many people.
Accordingly, in 2005, while filming "The Condor Heroes", Duong Mich's role was cut in airing time because she refused to go drinking with her partner. 3 years later, the actress went on an audition in a historical drama but was criticized by the producer for her appearance.
Faced with difficulties and injustice, the Beijing beauty still determinedly declared: "I can play the role of a dead body, a servant, or even a supporting actor, but absolutely not become a commodity for others to exchange".
In 2015, Duong Mich signed a contract that was enough to change her fate and life. However, the "85-year-old flower" must meet the conditions to earn a net profit of up to 310 million USD within 3 years. If she cannot do it, she must pay 500 million USD in compensation.
To complete the contract, Duong Mich became almost a " machine", operating continuously and non-stop. The actress filmed 13 TV series, participated in 5 variety shows and only slept about 2 hours a day. Even at a time with a 39th degree fever, Duong Mich still filmed "Three students of the third world, ten years of peach blossoms".
The efforts helped the screen star develop remarkably in 2017, earning 402 million USD and valuing her personal brand at over 5 billion USD.
When faced with mockery like "the queen of bad movies"..., Duong Mich calmly responded: "In this game, data is the sparklingest diamond on the crown". She used the data she had through her works to respond to public opinion.
In 2023, Duong Mich decided to boldly leave Gia Hanh's shareholders and actors to establish her own company. Becoming an operator, Duong Mich signed contracts with many new actors.
Notably, she re-wribed the rules in the contract for the underdogs, boldly dropping requirements such as alcohol. With her own " catering", Duong Mich invests in many film projects, establishes a multi-channel sales company, participates in a private investment fund in Hainan (China)...
According to Sohu, Duong Mich's current position is the result of 18 years of trying, going through many difficulties and challenges. In recent years, the actress has achieved what she wanted, asking film crews to sign "Duong Mich clause", eliminating negative color behind the scenes.
Through that, Duong Mich also wants to become one of the pioneers in protecting the rights of female actors.
Duong Mich is considered by the media to be a pioneer. From a new girl stuck in underground rules, the actress tries to assert herself to re-set a new rule.
According to Sohu, the story of the "85-year-old flower" also inspires everyone: "Just persevere and constantly work hard, you can create your own world in the most brutal entertainment industry".
