After 7 years, Stephen Chow returns with a new movie "The Kungfu Women's Football Team", and introduces a new generation of "Tinh Nu Lang".
There is information that Stephen Chow spent a year organizing a global selection for the film.
19-year-old Tuyet Da surpassed more than 20,000 applicants to become the new generation "Tinh Nu Lang". During filming, Tuyet Da's identity was strictly kept secret and only officially announced on the film's release date.
In the film, she plays a character of the same name as herself, who is the main player of the Nga Mi women's football team, possessing a natural genius of lost attack and a divine playing style.
Although there are not many lines, after her identity was announced, this new generation "Tinh Nu Lang" quickly became the focus of discussion. Many viewers praised her for having a pure aura, natural acting, and were also curious whether she could continue the aura of her predecessors.
Tinh Nu Lang" has long been a title attracting much attention in the Chinese film industry. From Truong Man, Chu An, Truong Ba Chi, Mac Van Uy in the 1990s to Huynh Thanh Y, Lam Duan later, many actresses became famous overnight thanks to participating in Stephen Chow's films.
However, becoming "Tinh nu lang" does not mean that the career afterwards will be smooth sailing.
The definition of "Tinh nu lang" has always been controversial. Some people think that any actress who has appeared in Stephen Chow's films can be called "Tinh nu lang". According to this understanding, Zhang Min, who played "Best Groom" in 1988, is often considered the first generation "Tinh nu lang".
But there are also opinions that only actresses who sign contracts with Tinh Huy company (Star Overseas) are truly considered "Tinh Nu Lang". According to this standard, Ly Hoi, who signed a contract with Tinh Huy in 2000, is the first "Tinh Nu Lang".
In 2000, Ly Hoi was only 18 years old, and Chau Tinh Tri noticed her in the selection for "The Shaolin Soccer Team" and then signed a contract with Tinh Huy. However, in "The Shaolin Soccer Team", she only appears at the beginning and end of the film, even the character is not named.
In the 8 years of signing a contract with Tinh Huy, the number of works she participated in was very small, the typical work is only "Youthhood of Bao Thanh Thien 2". In 2014, she withdrew from the entertainment industry. In recent years, she switched to being a streamer, even claiming on the Douyin introduction that she was "Tinh nu lang out of time".
Lưu Giai Kiệt, the second female artist to sign a contract with Tinh Huy, also had a not-so-favorable career. At the age of 16, she participated in the selection for the "Shaolin Football Team". Although not selected, she was still noticed by Stephen Chow and officially signed a contract with Tinh Huy two years later.
However, in 8 years of contract, she only participated in one TV series, "Vo Trang Nguyen To Khat Nhi". Her role as Bach Hoa did not leave much of an impression on the audience.
In 2005, after Huynh Thanh Y had a contract dispute with Tinh Huy, the company arranged for Luu Giai Kiet and Chau Tinh Tri to attend an event. The media at that time called her "New generation's valedictorian", and there were even rumors that she would participate in "Absolute Kungfu 2", but in the end the project was not started.
Currently, she has left the entertainment industry and uses a Weibo account called "One grain of sand" to share her life.
Meanwhile, Huynh Thanh Y was once considered one of the most potential "Tinh Nu Lang" (Chinese female doctor). In 2003, she signed an 8-year contract with Tinh Huy. A year later, she became famous for her role as a mute girl in "Absolute Kung Fu", but not long after, a contract dispute occurred with Chau Tinh Tri.
In 2005, Tinh Huy claimed that Huynh Thanh Y arbitrarily took sexy photos without the company's consent, affecting the jade girl image that the company built for her, so he declared the freezing of her activities indefinitely. Huynh Thanh Y then unilaterally announced the termination of the contract and accused the company of "exploitation" of her for a long time.
The two sides finally went to court and reached a reconciliation agreement in 2007, officially ending cooperation.
In recent years, she has once again become the focus of attention when participating in the reality shows "Ty Ty Dap Gio Re Song" and "Tam Biet Nguoi Yeu 4".
