In early 2025, Liu Shishi has 2 historical film projects released to the audience, "Chief tam" and "Hoai Thuy Truc Dinh".
Both films are historical projects but have different themes. One film is fighting for the offices, the other is the fairy.
In "Chief of the Heart", Liu Shishi's return was considered temporarily stable, the audience gave the actress some compliments for her efforts in acting and had dangerous martial arts performances even though Liu Shishi's age was no longer too suitable. However, as a result, "Chuong tam" did not bring a breakthrough for the actress when it returned.
After that, when the movie "Hoai Thuy Truc Dinh" was released, Liu Shishi had a rather lackluster comeback.
Her beauty is still highly appreciated despite her no longer youthful age, but Liu Shishi appears in every scene with blurred vision, as if she is very tired and lacking sleep. Therefore, many people complained that Liu Shishi's films were too boring, unlike fairy tales.
Not only that, Liu Shishi was also criticized for always being stiff, her face was raised at a 30-degree angle. This pose is only beautiful on stage, dance or magazine photos, but in films it is fake.
Many viewers believe that Liu Shishi is no longer youthful enough to play the role of a young girl. Moreover, her acting style has not changed for many years, still stuck in place. Despite her efforts to return, the actress has not found the right direction for herself.
Liu Shishi is still hiding around idol films, while actors of her time have made further strides such as Zhao Liying - she has switched to acting in drama films.
"Hoai Thuy Truc Dinh" was adapted from comics, so before the film aired, many people were worried about the "deadline", not suitable for the taste of the general public.
Because the current market is no longer interested in the midlife idol historical drama genre, even though the cast is talented - it is also a big pressure for the crew of "Hoai Thuy Truc Dinh" and Liu Shishi.
