The Tet 2026 box office battle has ended, and the overall ranking of main actors' films in the history of Chinese cinema has also changed greatly.
Thanks to the movie "Phi trì nhân sinh 3" exploding with 3.8 billion CNY, Thẩm Đằng's total personal revenue officially exceeded the 40.8 billion CNY mark, making him the first actor in Chinese cinema to reach this milestone.
Meanwhile, Ngo Kinh's movie "Tiêu nhân: Phong khởi đại mạc" achieved a revenue of 1.1 billion CNY, ranking second during Tet. This achievement contributed to Ngo Kinh's total personal revenue of 35.8 billion CNY, ranking 2nd in the list after Thẩm Đằng.
In addition, the revenue ranking of actresses alone also has no small fluctuations, and the most surprising person is Duong Mich.
According to Maoyan Pro, after the movie "Kinh Trap Vo Thanh" reached 1.1 billion CNY, the total revenue of films Duong Mich participated in as the main actress exceeded 10 billion CNY.
Duong Mich only ranked after Ma Le (23.399 billion CNY); Chau Dong Vu (11.983 billion CNY) and Truong Tieu Phi (10.281 billion CNY). Even, she surpassed Gia Linh (9.99 billion CNY); Bach Bach Ha (9.93 billion CNY) and Tong Giai (9.83 billion CNY).
However, Yang Mi's 10 billion RMB revenue on the big screen immediately caused controversy. Because for a long time, audiences have known her mainly through television dramas.
In the film industry, Duong Mich is considered a revenue earner when participating in 64 films. Her most famous work is the "Tiny Times" series, 4 films brought in a total of 1.8 billion CNY; in addition, there is also "Legendary Assassin" contributing 1 billion CNY.
Other notable revenue films include "Painted Skin 2", "Goodbye Master" and "A Lifetime Together", totaling about 1.7 billion RMB.
However, some films make viewers question whether they are included in Duong Mich's "achievement list".
For example, in "Kung Fu Panda 3" and "Kung Fu Panda 4", Duong Mich only participated in Chinese voice acting for the Chinese market, and these two films contributed a total of 1.37 billion CNY to her revenue - a not small number.
Up to now, whether dubbing films should be included in the revenue of main actors is still controversial. Although the statistical platform has confirmed "being included", the audience does not completely agree.
Not only that, the revenue of some films in which Duong Mich only appears very little is also included in her achievements.
For example, in "Tuong Vien Long: Huyen An", Duong Mich's actual appearance time is only about 6 minutes, less than one-tenth of the film. Although there are external debates about the order of roles that create media heat, the actual contribution to film quality is not large.
In "Vải tiến Trường An", Dương Mịch ranked 6th in the cast list, with an appearance time of less than 10 minutes. Many opinions pointed out that Dương Mịch contributed to "increasing recognition" for the film, but saying she is the main actress in charge of revenue is clearly not convincing enough.
Or even in the Tet movie "Kinh Trap Vo Thanh", the main cast list includes Dich Duong Thien Ty, Chu Nhat Long, Tong Giai, Loi Giai Am, then Duong Mich. However, 1.1 billion CNY of the movie's box office revenue is still calculated for her.
Audiences believe that "the revenue ranking of main actors" shows that actors must at least play key roles in the new film, so revenue should be included in personal achievements.
Other statistics show that if only considering the films in which Duong Mich played the number one female lead, her total box office revenue only reached 2.544 billion RMB.
