Actor La Van Hi has long been considered a face with good "screenwriting" ability. Especially after the resounding success of the movie "Truong Nguyet Tan Minh" starring Bach Loc, his popularity increased sharply, quickly rising to become one of the new male gods of Chinese cinema.
However, the 2 recent films starring him, "Thuy Long Ngam" and "Boc Kon", have not achieved the expected results in terms of both fame and viewership ratings, causing the male actor's appeal to somewhat decline.
In that context, the ancient costume project to solve the case "Mị ảnh thần bổ" starring La Vân Hi and actress Thẩm Vũ Khiết is expected to help him regain his form. Recently, the first series of portrait photos of the film has been released, quickly attracting the attention of the audience.
In the movie, La Van Hi plays a famous treasure hunter with divine crime-solving talent. The male actor's image impresses with a thin gray-white silk flower dress combined with a sophisticated gold-plated highlighter, sharp eyes exuding intelligence and quickness.
In the film, La Van Hi's character will join female forensic doctor Bach Tran Chau (played by Tham Vu Khiet) to solve many mysterious cases. Many viewers predict that "My Iong Than Bo" could become a work that helps the male actor "reverse the tide", restoring his appeal.
Previously, the fact that "Thuy Long Ngam" and "Boc Kon" had poor performances was said to be related to the fact that the 10-year contract between La Van Hi and the management company had expired, but the male actor had no intention of renewing it. There are rumors that the company therefore almost did not deploy a promotional campaign for these 2 projects, causing his fans to be upset. However, despite the not-as-expected results of recent films, La Van Hi still received many invitations to act in new films.
When the information that La Vân Hi and Thẩm Vũ Khiết were announced as the main couple of "Mị ảnh thần bổ", initially many opinions expressed skepticism. Some said that the male actor's popularity had decreased, so he was paired with a co-star with a lower reputation.
However, as the supporting cast is gradually revealed, expectations for the film also increase. This list includes notable names such as Phuong Dat Luan, Tu Chinh Khe and Diep To Tan, along with a series of styling images that are considered meticulous and eye-catching.
My Anh Than Bo" is adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Vuong Kha. The content revolves around Thanh Duong Cong Tu Le Tu (La Van Hi plays the main role), who secretly joins Than Bo Ty to investigate the cause of death of Tu Hoang Tu.
Here, he meets the world's leading female forensic doctor Bach Tran Chau (played by Tham Vu Khiet) and "Devil's Sword" Mong Due (played by Phuong Dat Luan) - a martial arts master but with a deep hatred. The three people form a task force, successively deciphering a series of bizarre cases before together exposing a shocking conspiracy.
The film converges many hit elements of Chinese historical films in recent years, from crime solving, gangster feud, power struggles in the court to the motif of revenge and domination. With elaborately invested character designs and a cast that is considered suitable for the image in the original, many viewers believe that "My Anh Than Bo" can become a "push" to help La Van Hi regain the male god position of the Chinese screen.
