According to Chinese media, actor Wang Xin - former lecturer of the Performing Arts Department of the Central Academy of Drama has surrendered in an ongoing investigation. His participation in the movie "Sinh Van Vat" immediately caused the movie to be "nameless", leading to much public controversy.
In the film, Vuong Ham plays Do Xuan Lam - a character who appears from episode 2, which is not too long but plays an important role in the storyline. This character is built as the initiator of the peasant movement, and also plays the role of leading ideology for the male lead, connecting many lines of content about the transformation process in the countryside. Therefore, although not a big role, the appearance of the character has a key meaning for the development of the story.
After information about Vuong Ham was announced, a part of netizens called for removing or editing the film because of the participation of an actor considered "scandalous". Some opinions also questioned the content message of the work, making "Sinh Van Vat" the focus of controversy on entertainment forums.
According to regulations in the field of radio and television in China, individuals who violate the law or professional ethics and their main participating works may not be eligible to participate in the award consideration. This makes the future of the movie "Sinh Van Vat" in the 2026 awards season unpredictable, even though the movie has aired and achieved positive results in 2025.
Previously, the work was considered one of the bright candidates of the season, even helping Duong Mich win the title of Best Actress at an awards ceremony at the beginning of the year. Therefore, if she loses the opportunity to participate in the award, this could be a big loss for both the crew and the actress, in the context that many artists of the "85 hoa" generation are trying to transform themselves to seek recognition from official awards.
On the producer's side, the handling is also not simple. If the entire scene with Vuong Ham is cut, the story structure may be affected because his character plays the role of connecting many details. However, if kept unchanged, the film risks encountering obstacles in the award consideration process. Currently, on official platforms, content related to this actor no longer appears, suggesting that the crew may be considering handling options.
Up to now, the film crew has not issued an official announcement.
