In the Chinese entertainment industry, not many male actors have to face opposing opinions like Truong Lang Hach.
He is both a name loved by a large audience and often becomes the focus of debate about acting, image and career development.
Truong Lang Hach's fans always have a lot of affection for the characters he portrays. That is Truong Hanh in "Thuong Lan Quyet" - a gentle, tolerant fairy who has to endure love that is not reciprocated.
Or Ta Nguy in "Ninh An as a Dream" - a character with many injuries, haunted by the line "bitter fruit is also fruit" that once caused a fever on social networks.
Possessing a striking height of 1m90 and a cold, masculine appearance, Truong Lang Hach is considered a suitable face for ancient costume films.
Special charisma and outstanding appearance helped him quickly make his mark and are considered one of the potential young actors of the Chinese screen.
However, besides the affection, Truong Lang Hach also faced many opposing opinions.
A part of the audience believes that he is relying heavily on appearance and fame, while his acting ability has not really broken through.
The image of "academic actor" was also questioned whether it was a communication strategy.
For Truong Lang Hach, praise and controversy seem to always go hand in hand since he entered the stage of fame.
Few people know that before becoming an actor, Truong Lang Hach had a completely different path. His real name is Truong Gia Vy. He graduated from Nanjing Normal University, majoring in Electrical Engineering.
With good academic achievements, a stable future in the technical field was once a choice that many people expected.
Truong Lang Hach's decision to give up a promising major to step into the highly competitive entertainment industry is considered a risky decision.
However, the foundation of scientific thinking also influences the way he approaches acting.
Not being deeply trained in acting from the beginning, Truong Lang Hach chose to analyze the character with his own method: studying the script, understanding the motives, building emotional logic before appearing on screen.
However, that rational thinking is sometimes difficult to harmonize with the audience's emotional tastes. The title "nam than hoc bá" used to be an advantage, but it also became a pressure when the public placed more expectations on each of his works.
Outstanding appearance is also a double-edged sword for Truong Lang Hach. This is a factor that helped him quickly become famous, but at the same time made many people assume that he is only suitable for handsome, cold roles in historical films.
The controversies about the shaping in "Axis of Jade" once showed a larger debate about balancing aesthetics and authenticity in the character's image.
At the present time, Truong Lang Hach is still on his journey to prove himself. He does not want to be remembered only for the title "ancient male god", but wants to try his hand at many different types of roles, especially characters with psychological depth and complex development processes.
With an outstanding appearance, a large number of fans and many opportunities in hand, Truong Lang Hach is possessing great advantages.
However, to get rid of the prejudices that have been associated with his name, he still needs more time and roles that are strong enough to affirm his true ability.
