However, her journey to the top was not only full of roses but also faced many thorns, especially the strong boycott wave from the Vietnamese fan community because of the "cow tongue line" scandal and most recently the prestigious nomination at the Bach Magnolia Award.

Steps into art from a family 'launching pad'

Duong Tu was born into a family with a tradition of art. Her father is a police officer, and her mother is a voice actress. From a young age, Duong Tu showed her passion and talent for acting. With the support and guidance of her family, she started acting at a very young age.

In 2002, when she was only 10 years old, Duong Tu first appeared on the small screen with a role in the TV series "Hieu Trang Bi Su". Although it was only a small supporting role, her natural and lovely acting left a good impression on the audience. This was an important stepping stone, opening the door to the world of cinema and television for Duong Tu.

However, the role that brought Duong Tu's name closer to the public and became the "childhood" of many generations of audiences was Ha Tuyet in the sitcom "Nha Co Con Gai". The film aired in 2005 and quickly became a phenomenon, widely loved thanks to its humorous, close content and talented cast. The image of the smart, quick-witted, innocent Ha Tuyet was deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience, helping Duong Tu become one of the most beloved child stars at that time.

Breakthrough in career, escape family cocoon, stand firm in the industry thanks to talent.

After the success of "House with Daughter", Duong Tu continued to participate in many other film projects. However, the transition from child star to adult actress was a big challenge for her. Many child actors have difficulty escaping the shadow of their previous successful roles, and Duong Tu is no exception.

To further hone her knowledge and acting skills, Yang Zi decided to study at the Beijing Film Academy – one of the top art schools in China. She graduated from the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy in 2010. Studying systematically in a professional environment helped Yang Zi improve herself, gain experience and broaden her artistic vision.

During this period, Duong Tu still regularly participated in films, but there was no role that really broke through to affirm her name in the mature market. She tried many different types of roles, from ancient to modern, from drama to comedy, gradually accumulating experience and looking for opportunities to shine.

Reaching the threshold of glory, exploding with the title "Queen of ratings"

The big turning point in Duong Tu's career came in 2016 with the movie "Ode to Joy". In the movie, she played the role of Qiu Ying Ying - an innocent, impulsive but very sincere girl. Although this character was not initially popular with the audience, Duong Tu's genuine and natural acting made the audience gradually understand and sympathize. "Ode to Joy" achieved great success in terms of ratings and reputation, making Duong Tu one of the most notable faces on the small screen.

Continuing the success, in 2018, Duong Tu really exploded with the fantasy historical blockbuster "Ashes of Love". Her role as Cam Mich conquered millions of hearts with her cuteness and innocence at first and the tragic suffering later. Duong Tu's performance in the film was highly appreciated, especially the scenes of inner turmoil, bringing tears to the eyes of many viewers. "Ashes of Love" became one of the hottest historical dramas of the year, breaking many rating records and helping Duong Tu firmly hold the position of the top young actress.

Not stopping there, in 2019, Duong Tu continued to consolidate her position as "rating queen" with the modern romance drama "Go Go Squid". Transforming into Dong Nien - a genius IT girl but extremely lovely and innocent when in love, Duong Tu created a fever throughout Asia. The film achieved record ratings, bringing resounding success to both Duong Tu and co-star Ly Hien, helping her become one of the faces that guaranteed ratings in the idol drama genre.

In addition, she also has many other successful works such as "Tram Van Huong Phai" and "Truong Tuong Tu" (2023) - the film created an unprecedented fever, firmly affirming Duong Tu's position in the entertainment industry. "Truong Tuong Tu" not only achieved extremely high ratings but also helped Duong Tu receive widespread recognition for her versatile acting ability and deep inner feelings.

Sharing the 'cow tongue line' makes Vietnamese fans turn around and 'boycott'

In addition to her brilliant career successes, Duong Tu also faced a major political storm. In 2022, when the movie "Tram Van Huong Phai" was airing, some Vietnamese viewers discovered an image of the "cow tongue line" map appearing in a scene, specifically on an item in the movie. Although this was the fault of the production team and the distributor, as the main actress, Duong Tu and the movie became the target of a strong boycott from the Vietnamese fan community.

The "cow tongue line" is China's illegal claim of sovereignty in the East Sea, strongly opposed by Vietnam and the international community. Therefore, the appearance of this image in Chinese films always causes great indignation among the Vietnamese people. Although it is not Duong Tu's direct fault, her participation in a film containing this sensitive content has caused many Vietnamese fans to turn their backs, declare to stop supporting and boycott the actress's activities in the Vietnamese market.

This boycott has significantly affected Duong Tu's image in Vietnam, although she still maintains a large fan base in the Chinese and international markets. This is a testament to the sensitivity of political issues in the entertainment industry and the importance of controlling film content.

Received prestigious Magnolia Award nomination thanks to ability

Overcoming the controversies and scandals, Duong Tu continues to contribute to art and constantly prove her ability. In 2023, she continued to reap great success with the historical drama "Truong Tuong Tu". This work not only achieved extremely high ratings but also received countless compliments from experts and audiences. Duong Tu's performance as Tieu Yeu/Van Tieu Luc was praised for her good acting, successfully portraying the complexity and deep inner feelings of the character, from a girl disguised as a man living in seclusion to a Princess shouldering the responsibility of the country.

This is one of the three biggest awards in the Chinese television industry (Magnus Bai, Fei Tian, Kim Ung), considered the "Oscar of Chinese television".
