This year's International Labor Day, the detective film "The Lost Person" starring Lưu Hạo Tồn achieved a revenue of 262 million CNY, becoming the box office champion of China during the holiday. On Douban, the work is rated quite positively with a score of 7.7/10.
On May 10, the 40-episode TV series "Main Character" (Intuition) also officially aired on China Central Television CCTV-1 and the large platform Tencent Video.
The film started positively when it surpassed 22,000 heat points on Tencent, the Khốc vân rating on CCTV-1 broke the 2% mark. Besides, the film's advertising achievements are stable with 20 advertisements from 5 brands in the first 4 episodes.
In fact, this project was interested early because this is a film directed by Zhang Yimou - who is known as the "national master" of Chinese cinema - as the director; Zhang Jia Yi is both the artistic director and the main actor.
Meanwhile, the "Queen" of Chinese music - Wang Fei - sang the theme song of the same name for the movie. This is the first time in 23 years that she has returned to sing the theme song for a TV series; the last time Wang Fei sang the soundtrack was the movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou in 2002.
The cast list of “Protagonist” includes Zhang Jia Yi, Liu Hao Ton, Tan Hai Lo, Dau Kieu, Ze Lu and Vuong Hieu Than.
Qin Hailu has conquered the Best Actress award in both film and television, Zhang Jia Yi is recognized as a "acting veteran"... In general, the cast is ranked as "veteran" in the profession.
However, they are all appearing together in a movie to "pave the way" for 25-year-old actress Lưu Hạo Tồn.
In the movie, Lưu Hạo Tồn plays the female lead Ức Tần Nga - from a shepherd girl rising to become a famous artisan Tần xoang at the age of 60.
That seems to be also the path that Zhang Yimou chose for Liu Haocun.
2018 is an important milestone that changed the life of the girl born in 2000.
When approaching the age of 18, Liu Haocun was chosen by Zhang Yimou to star in the movie "One Second". The media likened this to "receiving the most prestigious entrance ticket to the Chinese film industry".
Since then, Lưu Hạo Tồn has also been associated with the title "Mưu nữ lang" - referring to Chinese beauties supported and starring in his films by Trương Nghệ Mưu.
Thanks to the support from the "national master" of the film industry, Luu Hao Ton's talent really surprised many people.
She debuted with the movie "One Second" broadcast in 2020. The second movie is "Giving You a Little Red Flower" directed by Han Yan, starring Yi Yangtian, with revenue exceeding 1.4 billion RMB. She also had the opportunity to collaborate with many big names such as Jackie Chan, Hui Yinghong.
In just 5 years, Luu Hao Ton starred in 11 works, except for "Huyen nhai chi thuong", all of which were female lead roles.
However, along with that is great pressure from the public. After "One Second", Luu Hao Ton was rated quite well by experts for her acting ability, but she has not had any more roles that really made a strong impression.
Not to mention, the family-related scandal that was exposed in 2018 also became a "black mark" affecting Luu Hao Ton's image.
Fans expect the movie currently airing to be a new launching pad for the beauty born in 2000, making her truly become the "main character".
