Recently, the Chinese online community enjoyed sharing a series of photos of Tong Dat and Thua Loi. In it, the two showed affection and closeness together like a couple in real love.
In fact, this is a promotional photo set for the movie "Du Tan Truong An" starring Thua Loi and Tong Dat. The couple's good "chemistry" surprised the audience, many even believed that the two had "taken the fake love for real".
Du Tan Truong An is a historical film project adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Cuu Lo Phi Huong, directed by Dang Khoa. The work tells the story of female general Le Suong (Tong Dat) and Tan An (Thua Loi) - a man who lost his memory and was attached to the oath but fell into a spiral of struggle between countries.
The film is expected to bring a combination of war, psychological and romantic elements, aiming at audiences who love emotional historical films.
However, released in August, "Du Tan Truong An" did not bring the expected results.
Accordingly, the average number of views of the film is only over 5 million/episode, with daily views remaining modest at 15 million/day. The film even struggled to reach 10,000 hot points on the broadcasting platform's chart.
The Douban score of the "Du Tan Truong An" set only reached 4.8 points. This is considered one of the most failed historical film projects in director Dang Khoa's career.
The release of the photo series between Tong Dat and Thua Loi is a way for the producer to keep the heat for the film. Previously, the crew was said to have spent money to open an online cinema, in order to attract audiences to the film.
