In recent days, "The Nine Heavy Sons" has become a popular historical drama on platforms and social networks in and outside China. In addition to positive reviews about the content, setting, and acting, the work's advertising situation is also increasingly positive.
Most recently, "Cuu Trong Tu" recorded the highest number of advertisements in terms of quantity and duration in an episode (7 advertisements, total duration of 64 seconds). In addition, the film also added advertisements from episodes 1-5 (1 additional advertisement per episode, total duration of 40 seconds).
The popularity of the character Dou Zhao (Meng Ziyi) on the Tencent platform has also broken 10 million. Meanwhile, Song Mo (Li Junrui) is also in the top 4 male actors and top 6 of all actors with the highest Baidu index (search engine in China) with films shown in 2024 with more than 87,000 views and continuing to increase.
According to the producer, the possibility of a second reunion between Meng Ziyi and Li Junrui is quite high. However, few people know that in order to bring the audience realistic and emotional scenes, especially romantic and intimate scenes, the two Chinese stars had to "struggle".
For example, when filming the kissing scene, both of them were shown many videos by director Tang Khanh Kiet's wife to learn how to turn their heads and change angles when kissing. Manh Tu Nghia revealed that because they did not have much previous experience and because the director had very high requirements, both of them had to practice many times.
"The director didn't let us separate but asked us to kiss while rotating our faces. But could we rotate our faces like that? How could we rotate them? Then, once we were able to rotate our faces, the director immediately said into the walkie-talkie: "Let's kiss. Move your mouths. Where's your head? Rotate. Change your face angle."
Manh Tu Nghia added that even when they had a satisfactory kissing scene, the director did not call cut and she had to stop and push her co-star away.
After "The Nine Deadly Sins", Meng Ziyi is currently in the movie "Peach Blossoms and the River" with Liu Xueyi waiting to be released. She is also working on many new scripts.
While Ly Quan Nhue is filming "Princess Agents 2: Frozen Fox" with Hoang Duong Dien Diem.
