Once criticized for statements considered insensitive, entangled in family private affairs disputes and for many years bearing the title of "supported star", Liu Haocun is having a comeback in his career.
The success of the TV series "The main character" officially airing in May 2026 not only helped the actress born in 2000 affirm her acting ability but also made the public look at her with different eyes.
Since its debut in 2018, Lưu Hạo Tồn has always been a name causing much controversy.
One of the most mentioned topics is that this beauty resolutely refused to act in a kissing scene.
According to Chinese media, this clause was clearly stated in the actress's contract from the early days of entering the entertainment industry.
In an interview, Luu Hao Ton once shared that she had never experienced a real love affair and wanted to give her first kiss to the person she loves.
This view once caused her to face no small amount of criticism.
Many people think that the actress is unprofessional, deliberately building a different image to attract attention. However, for many years, she has never changed her principles.
It is worth mentioning that despite keeping its own limits, Liu Haocun is still considered a good collaborating actor on film sets.
She does not make excessive demands on the film crew, only firmly adheres to personal principles that she considers important.
Before the controversy about the kissing scene, Lưu Hạo Tồn has repeatedly become the focus of criticism for statements considered to have "actors with low EQ".
In 2021, when asked if she had a talent for acting, the actress frankly replied: "Why not?". This short answer was quickly cut and pasted and spread on social networks.
At the same time, the story of the dance class run by her mother years ago was also brought up again. The case related to a student suffering serious injuries once caused great controversy in public opinion, although the legal issue had been resolved before Liu Hao-sun's debut.
Pressure from public opinion made the actress almost a target of attack on social networks for a long time.
However, instead of constantly speaking out to explain or create new debates, Liu Haocun chose to focus on work.
The biggest turning point came in May 2026 when the movie "The Main Character" officially aired on CCTV-1's prime time slot.
In this work, she plays the female lead with a journey lasting nearly half a century of life, from an ordinary girl to a famous stage artist.
To prepare for the role, Liu Haocun spent nearly a year studying traditional performing arts in Shaanxi.
She practices stage performance skills with high intensity, many times having to work in harsh hot weather in costumes weighing dozens of kilograms.
Immediately after broadcasting, "The main character" achieved impressive viewership ratings, continuously leading the prime time slot and receiving many positive feedbacks from experts.
On film forums, audiences especially appreciate Luu Hao Ton's ability to transform when portraying characters in many different stages of life.
If in the past she was often doubted about her acting ability, now, many opinions say that the actress has proven herself with her own ability.
Luu Hao Ton was noticed by director Zhang Yimou quite early. When controversy broke out, the actress was criticized for being favored by Zhang Yimou.
After 8 years of operation, what helps Lưu Hạo Tồn gradually change the public's perception is not the explanations, but the persistence and seriousness with the profession.
