Van Ky: "Guo Xiang 2.0" acting genius of Cbiz, 14 years old "won" the Golden Horse awar.d

Van Ky is known as an acting genius of Chinese cinema, achieving many successes since she was a chil.d. However, when she turned 18, she had difficulty changing her image.

Van Ky's full name is Tran Van Ky, born on August 10, 2003 in Taiwan, is one of the typical representatives of the future generation of talented actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, along with Truong Tu Phong and Nham Man. From a young ag.e, she showed artistic qualities and was praised for having a cinematic face, even though she came from a family with no one in the arts, her parents were in business.

During her years in grades 2 and 3, Van Ky participated in many talent competitions at school, won the championship and brought home many other awards. In 2013, the local press arranged to interview her at a studio, but had to postpone because a film crew came to the area to hold a casting session.

At that time, the crew was looking for a 15-year-old high school gir.l, but Van Ky was only 10 years old, so she had to stand aside and watch others audition. After all the contestants left, the crew still hadn't found a suitable person, so they asked the 10x to try. And this was also her first time being expose.d to acting.

Seeing Van Ky act out a crying scene, the film crew was quite satisfied and decided to invite her to appear in "Thuc Nu Chi Gia". At the ag.e of 14, thanks to the work "Huyet Quan Am", she defeated "veterans" like Diep Duc Nhan or experienced actors like Ngo Nhan Muoi, Tran Tuong Ky, Hua Vy Ninh to win the Best Supporting Actress awar.d at the 54th Golden Horse Film Festival (2017).

In addition, Van Ky also received a nomination for Best Actress in the movie "Beautiful Years". Notably, this is also the only Chinese film nominated and competing for the main awar.d at the 74th Venice Film Festival.

It can be said that the 54th Chinese Oscars honored new faces, ignoring veteran names. Among them, "Bloo.d of Guanyin" with the participation of Van Ky won 3 important awards: Best Film, Best Actress (Hui Anh Hong) and Best Supporting Actress. In the film, the 10x from Taiwan plays a gir.l who witnesses the sexual crimes of two women and is forced to keep quiet in exchange for peace.

Talking about this psychological role, Van Ky shared: "When I read the script, my parents were worried because they were afraid that the script was not age-appropriate, because I was still young. But after convincing my parents that I really wanted to participate in acting, they agreed and supported me wholeheartedly."

One thing that is admirable about Van Ky is that within two years, she has achieved many great successes. She even overtook her "senior" Ly Tieu Lo, becoming the youngest female artist to win the Golden Horse Awar.d in history. Although she is not considered a beauty, thanks to her charisma and face suitable for cinema, she has gained the trust of directors.

Even film critic, Executive Committee of Golden Horse - Wen Tianxiang also had to praise Wen Qi's acting skills as completely innate. In her, the acting ability is natural from within and not forced at all. From there, she was ranked in the ranks of talented "Little Flowers" of Chinese cinema.

In 2018, Wen Qi shared her ambition and set a goal to become a top star on Elle. "I hope that by the time I'm 20, I'll be Natalie Portman," the actress said. In April 2021, she excelled in becoming valedictorian of the Performance and Directing major at the Central Academy of Drama.

In June, Van Ky revealed to Sina that as she entered adulthood, she was cultivating and accumulating more acting experience and looking for changes in appearance and character to suit market demand. At that time, the 10x had a drama aired on CCTV called "Family Life".

In this work, Van Ky proactively broke the cold image that she had always had to play the role of Khau Dong Na - a determined young woman who overcame difficulties. However, contrary to expectations, the scriptwriter's setting made Khau Dong Na be commented by the audience as "ignorant, useless and calculating".

Wen Qi's performance in "Family Life" also revealed many weaknesses. According to Sina, Qiu Dong Na was too much for the young actress. When filming the project, she was only 17 years old, a high school student. But she had to play the role of a college graduate, 5 years ahead of her in life experience.

Not to mention, Van Ky also had to act in a romantic scene with her 22-year-old senior, Khau Trach. Despite her great efforts, the Taiwanese beauty still occasionally showed signs of tension when facing her fellow countryman. According to Sina, "directing" a long-running TV series of up to 35 episodes, she did not sho.w any breakthroughs, acting differently in each scene. Frowning, startled and sad expressions are the 10x's repeated acting traits.

At the ag.e of 18, although she is very confident in trying out edgy roles and is willing to constantly change her image, Van Ky has not yet left much of an impression on television dramas. According to Xinhua News Agency, the Taiwanese beauty's case is similar to that of Chau Dong Vu or Nham Man.

Because all three have cinematic faces, but create a "hard to watch" feeling on television. On Marie Claire, Van Ky once admitted that he has physical limitations, so he always has to try harder in acting to make up for his lack of looks.

In the film industry, Sina commented that Van Ky was "overtaken" by Truong Tu Phong because she lacked works that both created an artistic resonance and ensured box office revenue. Xinhua News Agency commented that there are still many shortcomings, but her acting career has only just begun, and she needs to determine the right direction to fully reveal her qualities, and be more careful in choosing scripts to avoid her reputation being dragged down by failed works.

In the near future, Van Ky has a movie called "The Condor Heroes" scheduled to air. The young actress plays Quach Tuong - the character who has a one-sided love for Duong Qua in Kim Dung's martial arts movie. Audiences expect her to follow in the footsteps of her two seniors Ly Y Hong and Duong Mich.
