Zhao Liying's new film was not as successful as expected with a revenue of 79 million NDT (about 10 million USD) after 3 days of release.
Zhao Liying, one of China's top actresses, is trying to make the transition from "drama queen" to movie star. However, her latest film Sunflower Her film did not meet expectations, earning only over 79 million yuan (about 10 million USD ) after 3 days of release on Qingming Festival, causing many people to question her ability to "carry the box office", according to ETtoday .
In the past few years, Trieu Le Dinh participated in 4 major film projects: Article 20, The Road to Desire , The Unseen Sister and Sunflowers . In Article 20 Directed by Zhang Yimou, although she did not have much screen time next to Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, Zhao Liying still attracted attention with her impressive acting. The path of desire also recorded positive results. However, two other works are The Unseen Sister and Sunflower but did not achieve the expected success.
LIVE The Unseen Sister , Zhao Liying confronts Xin Zhilei in a dramatic script, and Sunflower directed by the famous director Feng Xiaogang. Both were highly topical, but could not overcome the indifferent reaction from the audience. In particular, Sunflower only achieved 79 million yuan in revenue after the first 3 days and is expected to have a total revenue of about 175 million yuan - a figure equivalent to The Unseen Sister .
Many audiences and critics hoped that Trieu Le Dinh would take advantage of the opportunity after Article 20, The Road to Desire to surpass her colleagues of the same generation of "85 flowers" such as Duong Mich, Luu Thi Thi, Duong Yen and Luu Diec Phi, and at the same time affirm her position on the big screen. However, the box office results of Sunflower makes many people disappointed.
Some have speculated that Zhao Liying may return to television – the field that made her famous – to further her career. The poor box office performance this time has posed a challenge to the actress’s film ambitions.
