In recent days, the online community has been stirred up by a part of Thanh Nghi's audience (Maybe fans) calling to stop watching and stop making statistics for the movie "Thien Duong Ca Trai". The reason comes from the fact that they think that Thanh Nghi's appearance time is not commensurate. Because many people confirmed that he plays the "big male lead" (a film focused on the male lead) in the film.
This has caused controversy in the online community because this could damage the actor's image.
Many people have cited that Thanh Nghi's time has been several times longer than others, most of the female lead's scenes are performed with the actor. According to some others, arranging the time and details for his appearance is reasonable.
In addition to the controversy related to Thanh Nghi, on the female lead Ly Nhat Dong and the supporting cast are being highly appreciated for their stable acting and positive feedback from viewers. Many scenes with good numbers had significant contributions from Ly Nhat Dong, even the supporting actor's video attracted more views than the male lead.
However, according to Chinese media, "Hellcomeland of the Heart" is not a "big male lead" film. This film genre of the love paralyzed system already has many intertwined love lines, not focusing only on the main couple. Therefore, it is unreasonable to ask the screenwriter to adjust the content just to honor a character.
Up to now, "Thien Duong Ca Trai" is considered a work at risk of becoming Thanh Nghi's second consecutive "flop" film in 2025. The average number of views is only about 8 million, while protecting the 13 million mark is still a big challenge. Notably, this is also the first time in the history of the Chinese film industry that a fandom has called for a boycott of a film with its idol.
