Recently, the appearance of Vuong Dich Dinh in "Cuu Mon" once again reminded audiences of Trieu Le Dinh and the role of Doan Tan Nguyet in "Lao Cuu Mon". The fact that the new character uses voice acting once associated with the old image makes the comparison even clearer. Despite the similarities in appearance and character building, the new version still finds it difficult to create a natural feeling and a unique mark like Doan Tan Nguyet of Trieu Le Dinh.
From this story, it can be seen that images that seem to only require a beautiful face, lovely expressions and charming acting are actually very difficult to replace.
Zhao Liying and the "sweet" model who is not weak
Trieu Le Dinh once made an impression on Doan Tan Nguyet with her mischievous and graceful acting style. The character has the softness of a pampered young lady but is not naive or dependent. The cuteness is placed next to the ability to observe, be decisive and proactive in behavior, helping Doan Tan Nguyet become a character with a unique color.
More importantly, Trieu Le Dinh did not stop at this image. After "Lao Cuu Mon", she continuously changed through many types of roles in "Sam Sam Comes", "Hoa Thien Cot", "So Kieu Truyen", "Minh Lan Truyen" or "Wind Blows Half Summer".
From young, lovely girls to strong, independent and deep characters, the actress shows that sweetness is just a color in acting, not the limit of an artist.
That also explains why the image of the "sweet goddess" was once loved. Sweet does not mean weak. A character can be feminine, gentle but still intelligent, decisive and capable of choosing their own life.
Sweet Goddess" used to have many generations
In the history of Asian popular culture, this image appears in many different forms.
Deng Lijun possesses a gentle appearance and sweet voice, but her artistic personality is very clear. Wang Xinling once conquered audiences with a youthful, innocent image and positive energy. Yang Chelin also made his mark with lovely, mischievous roles before switching to a more mature and personal image.
The common point of these faces is that sweetness is not all about their personality or career. It is part of the image, supported by their own personality and ability to transform.
Therefore, what makes a "sweet goddess" remembered is not simply her youthful face or lovely way of speaking. More importantly, the character must have a story, a goal and characteristics that make the audience recognize even when there is no more supportive appearance.
Audiences no longer like the "sweet" one-color style
The change in the film market also changed the standards for female leads.
In many works today, female characters are often built with clearer personalities. They have work, ability, ambition and the ability to solve problems themselves. A female lead only revolves around love affairs, being spoiled or waiting for others to protect, so it is increasingly difficult to create empathy.
However, that does not mean that the audience has turned their backs on sweetness.
The fact that Vuong Tam Lang once created a strong effect many years after her peak shows that this image still has appeal. When an old artist can return and quickly receive attention, it shows that the audience still appreciates the values associated with youthfulness, purity and positivity.
The problem lies in the way of building the image. Audiences may no longer easily accept the "sweet" style created according to the formula: young face, stylish voice, lovely expressions but lacking personality and no personal story. When these elements are repeated too much, the image easily becomes unnatural and difficult to make an impression.
