Recently, director Zeng Qingjie of the Chinese film "The Nine Deadly Sins" praised actress Meng Ziyi.
The director wrote: "Manh Tu Nghia has a very wonderful skill that perhaps she herself does not know, which is that she can keep tears welling up in her eyes throughout the scene without falling."
Not only in the movie "Nine Heavy Sons", previously, when playing the role of Mai Sieu Phong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2017", Manh Tu Nghia was commented to have the ability to control tears, making his eyes sparkle just enough.
The actress revealed on the show "Keep Running" that she often practices crying while driving alone. She turns on sad music to practice crying whenever she is stuck in traffic.
During the filming of "The Nine Deadly Sins", Meng Ziyi often hummed the sad song "Turn Your Back and It Hurts Your Heart" to practice his crying ability.
The role of Dou Zhao in “The Nine Heavy Sons” (co-starring with Li Junrui) helped Meng Ziyi shine. The actress born in 1995 was not previously noticed by the public, and even caused controversy many times about her acting, being commented as a “mobile flower vase”.
But in the movie "Nine Heavy Sons", the audience commented that Manh Tu Nghia fully portrayed a character who went through many events and had a complex inner life.
Talking about the reason for choosing Meng Ziyi for the role of Dou Zhao, the producer of the film "Nine Heavy Sons" shared: "We have worked together on a previous project. She played the role of Mei Chaofeng, a beautiful, strong character with a tragic fate in Jin Yong's martial arts work.
On screen, Meng Ziyi has an aura of femininity, which is very different from her performance in entertainment shows.
In addition, she also has acting experience, having gone through many ups and downs in her career but still persevering through them. Those experiences are very suitable for the female lead character Dou Zhao.”
