Zhang Linghe encountered an incident, Chinese media defended him and blamed the director?

Chinese media said the failure of the movie "Amber Cherry" was the responsibility of the screenwriter and director. The two main actors, Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe, should not be the ones to receive criticism from public opinion.

The movie "Amber Cherry" starring the young actor duo Trieu Kim Mach and Truong Lang Hac has recently received much attention from the audience. The movie is adapted from the novel of the same name by author Van Tru. Produced by the famous team of Chinh Ngo Duong Quang - the "father" of famous Chinese TV series such as "Hoan Lac Tung", "Lang Gia Bang", "Minh Lan Truyen"... so even before it aired, "Amber Cherry" was expected to be the launching pad for 2 young names to step up to the A-list stars of Cbiz.

However, after its release, the movie "Amber Cherry" not only did not achieve the expected results but also caused the main actor to face many controversies. Many netizens commented that the reason for the failure of "Amber Cherry" was because the male lead Truong Lang Hac was not suitable for the character.

Accordingly, the male protagonist of "Amber Cherry" is Tuong Kieu Tay - a boy with a lonely heart. In high school, Tuong Kieu Tay was good at Math, had a calm appearance, was quiet and always lived under pressure from his family. He was a person with a heavy mentality, closed in on himself, and did not easily express his emotions to others.

After entering university, Jiang Qiao Xi meets the female lead, Lin Ying Tao (played by Zhao Jin Mai). Thanks to Ying Tao, Jiang Qiao Xi gradually opens up to the world around her. Jiang Qiao Xi grows up with a mature appearance, is successful in her career, but always has a void in her love life.

Regarding Truong Lang Hac's acting, many viewers commented that he looked quite "old" when playing the role of a high school boy. However, when he reached adulthood, Truong Lang Hac's acting ability was too "immature" compared to someone with psychological depth and a melancholy personality like Tuong Kieu Tay.

However, recently, Chinese media published an article affirming that the failure of "Amber Cherry" did not come from the main actors and actresses but mainly from the screenwriter and director.

Accordingly, the media criticized the director and screenwriter of the film "Amber Cherry" for not handling the situation and content of the film thoroughly, leading to the project's broadcasting effectiveness not being as expected. This indirectly wasted Trieu Kim Mach's acting. Because according to experts, Trieu Kim Mach, although young, has a diverse acting style, especially she is also considered a rare top young actress born after 2000 who possesses both beauty and acting.

Even the image of Tuong Kieu Tay for Truong Lang Hac is not convincing enough to make the audience curious to watch the film. If in previous works of the youth school genre, Truong Lang Hac's standard male god face is the point to attract viewers, then in "Amber Cherry" this factor has not been highlighted.

In addition, the crew of "Amber Cherry" also faced a wave of anger from the audience when they cut the number of episodes from the original 40 to only 24, seriously affecting the flow of the film. The crew found 2 other screenwriters to rewrite the script to make it 24 episodes, cutting many details in the film, making it even more difficult for viewers to understand the story.

The excessive editing of the film made the editing messy, the details appeared disjointed, lacking connection and the sudden emotional changes of the characters in the film were clearly shown right from the first episodes. This was the biggest reason why "Amber Cherry" failed miserably despite initially having high expectations.

A look at some of the achievements of "Amber Cherry" after the end of broadcasting: The film has 18 brands registered for advertising with a total of 88 advertisements taking up 815 seconds. Of which, the brand accompanying Truong Lang Hac contributed 7 advertisements with 105 seconds. The discussion index of the character Tuong Kieu Tay also exceeded the 9 point mark for 6 consecutive days. Truong Lang Hac's character is also the only subject with a discussion level exceeding the 9 mark in the film.
