Zhao Liying is one of the female actors in Chinese cinema who is attracting the attention of audiences because she has many upcoming film projects as well as projects in collaboration with famous stars. Among them, there is the project "City Builder" in collaboration with Huang Xiaoming.
This film was invested heavily, with scenes for hiring more than 1,000 mass actors to participate.
Zhao Liying's appearance in the film was revealed when playing the role of Mayor Li Thu Binh. However, her appearance was criticized for being old, unattractive and revealing many flaws.
Many Chinese audiences commented that her appearance was not suitable for acting in a film with Huang Xiaoming. Some also criticized the film crew for posing like Zhao Liying.
However, according to Chinese media, it was Zhao Liying who took the initiative to propose the idea for this look with her crew.
She wanted to create a close-up look with the image of the character Ly Thu Binh she plays - a simple, strong woman. Moreover, with the context of the 1980s, the character's life was still full of hardship, so creating such an image was appropriate.
Zhao Liying has broken the "fear of evil" concept of many stars when appearing in films and acting. She once gained weight when acting in the movie "The Wind Blows Ban Xia" to suit the character; was not afraid to create a bad image in the two movies "Hanh Phuc De Van Gia" and "The 20th Article".
With the audience who know the plot and follow this project, they think that Zhao Liying is trying to complete the best role, they look forward to the collaboration between her and Huang Xiaoming in the near future.
