Zhao Liying is "protected" by Chinese mainstream media amid love scandal

1 | 0 Discuss | Share
Being a reserved person, Trieu Le Dinh rarely attracts attention with her words. But once she gets into a controversy, the way she handles it is considered rigid and tactless.
A typical example is the direct confrontation with Sina - China's largest media platform. After being tagged as a hot search related to love rumors, the actress did not hesitate to respond harshly, even calling Sina "Tra Lang" - referring to the practice of posting news that degrades artists. This action divided the online community: some praised her bravery, others criticized her lack of control.
Not only stopping at statements, Trieu Le Dinh's fashion image has also continuously caused controversy recently. Since collaborating with stylist Tam Mao - who was highly regarded but had a safe aesthetic taste - her style has gradually become bland and monotonous. Appearing at large and small events, the actress often wears outfits that are said to lack highlights, not suitable for the level of an A-list star.
Most recently, at a commercial event in Chengdu, Zhao Liying wore a large floral design from Oscar de la Renta's Spring Summer 2025 collection. However, the dress was quickly compared to a "bed sheet" by netizens, creating a wave of fierce criticism. Many questioned the image-building ability of the stylist and team accompanying her.
Many viewers even think that Trieu Le Dinh is being "framed" in the image of a middle-aged woman with a calm dress style, simple hairstyle and makeup to the point of being dull. Although she still maintains her pure beauty, the lack of variation makes her gradually overshadowed by the faces of the same generation such as Duong Mich, Liu Yifei - who always know how to renew themselves with each appearance.
Zhao Liying once made an impressive career turning point when she switched from idol dramas to dramas. Works such as Happiness Comes to Thousands of Families or The Wind Blows in Ban Xia helped her affirm her abilities and gain recognition from experts. However, being too persistent with this genre with a lot of depth is making the audience feel "bored". While her colleagues are constantly trying many genres, from comedy to action, Zhao Liying is still stuck with the image of a hard-working, quiet and introspective woman.
The monotony in her role selection became even more apparent when she participated in the project Xiang Yuan Long - a film expected to be a breakthrough in 2025. However, contrary to expectations, Zhao Liying was not the central character. Her role was even commented to be less than that of other young actors. There were rumors that there was a disagreement between her and the production crew about how to build the character, leading to the role being cut.
The image of a star who was once a pillar of the screen having to retreat to "play a background role" in a blockbuster has disappointed many people. The wave of criticism about her ability to choose scripts and her career development strategy is increasingly widespread, showing that the public can no longer easily accept a "safe to the point of blandness" Trieu Le Dinh.
No one can deny that Zhao Liying is a talented actress. She was once a symbol of rising from obscure supporting roles to a sought-after A-list star. But at the present time, talent alone is not enough. As social media becomes the main channel connecting artists and the public, audiences are increasingly interested in how artists behave, communicate and renew their image.
Zhao Liying still has many advantages â from name, experience to the support of a loyal fan base. However, if she does not change in time, she will gradually be taken over by younger, more flexible and agile generations of actors.
The audience has never turned their backs on Trieu Le Dinh because of hatred. They were disappointed because of expectations. And if those expectations are met with a strong transformation â not only in roles but also in aesthetic thinking, communication methods and long-term direction â then that will be the lever to help her regain her halo. Not to return to the old era, but to shine again â in a more mature, confident and sharp way.
