In a conversation with Chinese media, when asked if she was actively looking for directions to change her image and choose a role, Duong Tu frankly said that she had a certain shift, but did not see it as a planned plan.
According to the actress, the change comes from her own age and maturity process: the genre she loves, her aesthetic taste, and the roles she wants to try are also gradually changing over time. For Duong Tu, "transformation" is not a race to prove something, but a natural movement in her career journey.
Before the opinion that the upcoming series of projects such as "Fairy", "Life Tree" and "Jade Blossoms Bloom, People Come Again" are works she "accumulated" to aim for the award, Duong Tu denied this speculation. She believes that the above projects happened to appear at the same stage, and at the same time she herself has a synergy with the production crew, so she decided to accept. The actress emphasized that the award is something everyone in the profession wants, but if acting in films is only aimed at the award, it is "too heavy on purpose".
Duong Tu also frankly acknowledged that no one can guarantee that just participating in a project will win a prize. Therefore, she does not set a plan in the style of "every performance must be recognized". Instead, the actress chooses to focus on the role, creative experience and project suitability in each stage.
Notably, Duong Tu shared that accepting negative assessments is part of the job. According to her, having entered the arts field, one cannot only get used to praise without being able to withstand criticism. That is "normal", and professionals need to learn how to accept it to improve.
It is the clarity in thinking, not avoiding, not embellishing that has caused Duong Tu's interview to receive many compliments. For the audience, this is the image of an actor who clearly understands what he wants, travels long distances with perseverance and a professional attitude, instead of chasing short-term expectations.
