After being insinuated by Hac Lei to "buy an award" at the Venice Film Festival, Tan Chi Lei had a frank response on social networks. She affirmed that acting is the result of 14 years of effort, which cannot be denied by envy or baseless inferences.

The Chinese entertainment industry is witnessing a fierce controversy between two powerful actresses: Tan Chi Loi and Hac Loi. It all started when Hao Lei posted an article on social media, implying that the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival – which was awarded to Tan Chi Lei – was undeserved. She sarcastically said that "in Venice, only one actress pulls her hair to win the award", making the public immediately associate it with the climax scene in the movie The Sun Hanging in the Sky, the work that helped Tan Chi Lei win the Queen Influence Award.

Not stopping there, Hac Lei continued to question the transparency of international film festivals, saying that they are increasingly "controlled by capital" and "personal relationships", far from the nature of art. She also mentioned the film The Age of Wildness – the work she participated in – which only received the "Special Jury Award" at Cannes 2025, a category that temporarily has no trophies but only certificates of merit. According to Hac Lei, receiving only a piece of paper instead of a prestigious golden statue is like "slapping the Palme in the face". She also hinted that "a few unknown women can manipulate the Tokyo Film Festival", causing the public to question the identity of the targeted person.

Before a series of comments full of implications, Tan Chi Lei did not choose to be silent. She posted a long post on social networks, directly responding to questions and attacks from colleagues. The actress insisted that the "hair-pulling" scene was only a small part of the character's entire expression, and that one segment could not be used to evaluate the entire acting process. "Evaluating acting is like judging a person, watching the passage is not the same as watching the whole scene," she wrote.

Tan Chi Lei also asked six questions in a row, refuting the question of "buying the prize" frankly: "Who is the one who stands up? Who do I work with? With money? Or by capital exchange? If I can control it, why do I have to wait 14 years to get a prize? Why did you choose me and not someone else?" These questions not only express frustration but also affirm the arduous artistic journey she has gone through.

Tan Chi Loi's response quickly received strong support from the audience. Many people think that denying other people's achievements just because they are dissatisfied is a clear manifestation of envy. Some comments wrote that an artist's years of hard work cannot be judged by personal feelings, and that without clear evidence, all sarcasm is unfair.

The award in Venice is considered a major turning point in the career of Tan Chi Loi, who has been pursuing acting for more than a decade without any international titles before. The fact that she was honored is not only a professional recognition, but also a testament to perseverance and perseverance in the profession.

The controversy between the two actresses has not yet shown signs of cooling down. However, Tan Chi Loi's calm reaction and sharp arguments have partly helped her strengthen her image as a brave artist, not afraid to face the market to protect the value of her artistic labor. Meanwhile, the public is still closely watching the next developments, and at the same time raising questions about fairness and transparency in international film awards.
