After temporarily leaving the small screen to focus on taking care of her first child, Ngo Can Ngon made fans excited when she officially confirmed her return in a new historical project called Ngu Dinh Dao, a product produced by "king of scandals" Vu Chinh.
Although it was expected to be an impressive comeback after a break, contrary to expectations, the actress was immediately caught up in a series of behind-the-scenes troubles before filming even started, causing social networks to "explode".
On June 15, Yu Zheng suddenly opened a livestream that lasted more than an hour, in which he did not hesitate to "expose" the male lead who was said to be the reason for the serious delay in the project's progress. Immediately after, the keyword "Yu Zheng exposes the male lead Yu Ting Dao" immediately climbed straight to No.1 on Weibo's hot search, attracting attention from audiences and media everywhere.
During the live broadcast, Vu Chinh not only shared the difficulties in the pre-production stage of the film but also publicly revealed the real reason why Ngu Dinh Dao could not start filming. Specifically, according to Vu Chinh, the male lead did not accept being the "secondary role" (position after the female lead), even though the roles were set to be equal. He emphasized: "The male lead was requested by the investor. But he did not accept being behind, nor did he accept the female lead being placed first. And the investor did not want to change people either. So I think the second position is a good choice."
This dilemma left the entire film crew "tied up". While Ngo Can Ngon had passed the selection round fairly to keep the female lead role, the male lead's refusal to give up his role caused all filming plans to stall.
Vu Chinh also affirmed that there was no "clearing the way" for Ngo Can Ngon, as some rumors spread. On the contrary, the actress who created a storm with the role of Wei Yingluo in Dien Hi Cong Luoc participated in the casting round herself, surpassing many candidates to win the main role in Ngu Dinh Dao. However, after she was selected for the role, the production side fell into a vicious cycle of looking for a "more famous" male lead to match the investor's requirements, a move that made many people question the fairness and transparency of the actor selection process.
The story of the dispute over the position, which is a sensitive topic in the Chinese entertainment industry, has been dug up once again. The position is not only the order of the actors' names on the poster or introduction, but also a measure of the artist's reputation, influence and commercial value. In this case, if Wu Jinyan stands first, it implicitly affirms that she is the "center" of the project, which clearly makes the male lead unhappy.
The long-standing disagreement has disrupted the filming schedule and put the broadcasting contract at risk. Even though filming has not yet started, Ngu Dinh Dao has become the focus of public opinion, not because of the content but because of the tense behind-the-scenes drama.
As the man behind a series of historical blockbusters such as Cam Tu Vi Uong, Thuong Thuc, and especially Dien Hi Cong Luoc, Vu Chinh is famous for his ability to create media waves, although he has been criticized many times for his shocking statements. His choice to livestream the conflict publicly is considered a calculated move that both demonstrates transparency and indirectly boosts Ngu Dinh Dao's recognition before the film has even started filming.
After the peak of Story of Yanxi Palace (2018), Ngo Can Ngon's career has somewhat slowed down with works such as Phoenix Prison, Truyen Gia, Thuong Thuc... not meeting expectations. Therefore, Ngu Dinh Dao is considered a golden opportunity for her to regain her glory. However, the fact that she had to face a scandal right after her return made many viewers feel regretful.
On social media, many people spoke up to defend Ngo Can Ngon, saying that she deserves respect for her ability and tireless efforts after becoming a mother. Many harsh comments were aimed at the investors and crew, saying that the male lead's pursuit of temporary fame was a "wrong move" in a context where the audience is increasingly demanding and values real ability.
Ngo Can Ngon's controversial return with upgraded beauty, declining career? Ponni12:06:40 30/05/2025Once a hot name after the resounding success of the film Story of Yanxi Palace, Ngo Can Ngon quickly rose to the ranks of A-list stars in the Chinese entertainment industry. After that halo, her career gradually slowed down with less resounding projects.
