Xiao Zhan's time is up, his new movie has not been released yet and is a disaster, the audience is "crying"?

Xiao Zhan is facing an important crossroads in his career. Can he overcome the obstacles in acting and prove his true talent, or will he face a painful fall from the public's overwhelming expectations?

Xiao Zhan, one of the most prominent names in the Chinese entertainment industry, is facing an important turning point in his career. Despite his huge fan base and irresistible appeal, his two upcoming major projects - Legend of the Condor Heroes and Legend of the Condor Heroes - are facing many controversies, raising questions about the actor's ability to maintain his position.

Specifically, The Legend of the Hidden Sea, a historical drama in which Xiao Zhan plays the main role, was expected to continue the success of classic works of the same genre such as The Legend of Fuyao (2015).

However, right from the first footage was revealed, Tieu Chien faced a wave of anger about his acting. Although the content of the film revolving around the dramatic revenge and redress of the character Tang Hai was considered attractive, many viewers still expressed skepticism when seeing him appear on screen.

The comparison with Lang Nha Bang and Hu Ge's excellent performance have unintentionally created invisible pressure for Tieu Chien. The picky audience believes that his acting has not yet escaped the shadow of his previous roles, especially in Ngoc Cot Dao, where he received many harsh criticisms for his unconvincing expressions.

In addition, the fact that director Cao Trach Van, a relatively new name in the film industry, was assigned to direct this major project raised concerns about the final quality of the film. The combination of Tieu Chien and Cao Trach Van was not convincing enough for the audience, and Tang Hai Truyen was at risk of facing failure even before its official release.

Meanwhile, the film project The Legend of the Condor Heroes, starring Xiao Zhan as Guo Jing, could not avoid skepticism. With a huge investment of up to 500 million yuan and directed by talented director Tsui Hark, the film received special attention right from the pre-production stage. However, the official trailer of the film disappointed many viewers. The image of Guo Jing portrayed by Xiao Zhan was judged to not be able to express the "innocence and sincerity" inherent in the character.

Not only facing harsh reviews from the audience, Xiao Zhan also has to deal with controversial statements from famous screenwriter Yu Zheng. Recently, Yu Zheng hinted that "big male lead" films released in 2025, including Xiao Zhan's "Zang Hai Truyen", are unlikely to be successful. Although this view has met with strong opposition from the online community, it also partly reflects concerns about the success of the projects Xiao Zhan participates in.

Despite having a large fan base and always receiving great attention, Xiao Zhan's acting is still a weakness that many people point out. The lack of breakthrough in acting is creating significant challenges for him, especially in historical and martial arts projects that require emotional depth.

2025 is predicted to be a challenging year for Xiao Zhan. Two major projects with separate pressures and expectations put him in a difficult position. With projects full of potential but also many challenges, Xiao Zhan not only has to face the public's expectations but also has to prove that he is not just a "one-color star".

In a fiercely competitive entertainment market, can he regain recognition for his acting, or will he just be a flash in the pan star lacking real depth?
