After that, A Sinh had to suspend his career for a while due to the shock of losing a loved one in the Sichuan earthquake. The cooperation plan between the two sides was cancelled. Luu Duc Hoa re-released My Girlhood. A Sinh said that the popular youth work has a plot that overlaps with the script he sent to the veteran star's company.

A Sinh said angrily: "Luu Duc Hoa blatantly stole my brain. I still have the email to exchange work that year. He owes me and the public a sincere apology." The case caused controversy in Chinese public opinion. Currently, Luu Duc Hoa remains silent.

It is known that Andy Lau also participated in the project "The Great Wall" of director Zhang Yimou with actor Matt Damon, Matt Damon also admitted the film was a failure. What causes the failure also seems to stem from the plot that is somewhat similar to other products.

Matt Damon commented: "I found The Great Wall to have a plot like a copy of Lawrence of Arabia (1962) or Avatar (2009). In the film, the foreigner seeks to integrate into a new culture, discovering the new cultures. What makes it special. Next, he shows off the skills he learned from his motherland to help the new humans fend off the threat of destruction. Then the characters' lives are changed forever."

You know this movie is broken but it's definitely broken, but it doesn't work. still have to think 'Only four months left. That's normal for soldiers. I have to finish this project even if I die.' It's an experience that kills creativity. spread a second time".
