Wang Hedi’s new movie is criticized

On the evening of December 28, the first four episodes of The Great Phoenix Strikes Back aired. The film received high expectations because of the participation of Vuong Hac De  and Dien Hi Vi.

Contrary to many people’s expectations, The Great Phoenix Strikes Back was a total disappointment. Immediately after its broadcast, the film became one of Weibo’s top trending searches because it was difficult to watch and had uninteresting content.

Besides, Vuong Hac De’s acting is also a problem because he lacks “chemistry” with his co-star and his expressions are quite stiff.

“Wang He Di’s acting in this movie is worse than in Eternal Night “; “the interaction with his co-star is too awkward”; “too many scenes of frowning and opening his mouth, does Wang He Di not have any other expressions”… – some comments from the audience.

The movie Da Phung Canh Nhan is adapted from the novel of the same name, revolving around Duong Lang (Vuong Hac De), an office worker who accidentally travels back in time to the Dai Phung dynasty. In this era, he is Hua That An – the person who beats the gong to signal the hour in the evening.

After being imprisoned due to an incident, thanks to his knowledge from modern times and sharp reasoning ability, Hua That An cleared his name and became a master of solving cases in this world.

Squid Game 2 breaks Netflix record

Although it has only been released for 2 days , Squid Game 2 quickly exploded, achieving overwhelming results over season 1.

According to data from FlixPatrol, Squid Game 2 took the number 1 spot on Netflix in 93 countries, including Vietnam. This is the first time a Netflix show has achieved this impressive feat.

In addition, the film also surpassed When the Phone Rings to lead the list of most watched TV Shows on December 28 on Netflix. These achievements prove that the heat of the film has not cooled down even though it took 3 years to release a new part.

Set 3 years after the deadly game ended, Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) – the winner of the first season – returns to participate in this fierce game.

After its release, Squid Game 2 was continuously criticized by experts and audiences. Many people thought that the film ran out of ideas, fell into a rut, and the plot developed too slowly.

The acting of the cast is also a matter of discussion as it is clearly awkward and unimpressive.

Zhao Lusi has a language disorder.

The news that actress Trieu Lo Tu announced a temporary hiatus due to health issues and the photo of the actress looking haggard in a wheelchair is causing a stir in Chinese public opinion. She has also closed her personal Weibo account.

On the evening of December 28, Wei Xiao – Trieu Lo Tu’s close friend suddenly posted a picture of her sitting in a wheelchair, and updated the actress’s current condition.

Specifically, Wei Xiao said that Zhao Lusi’s health is gradually stabilizing. She noticed unusual signs in Zhao Lusi since her birthday on November 9. The actress was filming The Lover when the accident happened.

As a result, Zhao Lusi was diagnosed with a speech disorder. She has now started talking again and is practicing standing for rehabilitation.

Zhao Lusi is being treated in hospital and has a long-term hospitalization plan as per doctor’s orders. However, due to recent developments, this plan may be adjusted accordingly.

“Regarding the illness and the cause behind everything, I hope someone will stand up to take responsibility and clarify everything. Everyone should not put pressure on Trieu Lo Tu” – Nguoi Tieu shared.

Moon Ga Bi denies marriage proposal with Jung Woo Sung

Even though it has been more than a month, Jung Woo Sung ‘s love scandal has not shown any signs of cooling down. In addition to criticism from the audience, the actor’s career has also gone downhill when the media rated him as the artist with the worst attitude of the year.

On December 28, model Moon Ga Bi officially spoke up to defend the actor. She denied the information that she asked Jung Woo Sung to marry her. Her silence in the past few days was to protect her son and the actor.

In response to the unfounded rumors and speculations from the public and the media, Moon Ga Bi expressed her hope that the public would understand the truth and stop spreading false information.

The model said the two met in 2022 and continued their relationship until the end of 2023. After January 2024, the couple broke up and had no contact with each other. “The decision to bring our child into this world was a mutual decision. We were very happy during that time.

“I don’t think it’s wrong to label my child or think that my child will be unhappy because of our separation. Please stop spreading false rumors or speculations about me and my child,” she wrote.

Keanu Reeves admits he can’t film John Wick 5

According to Page Six , on CBS Mornings, Keanu Reeves shared about the possibility of returning to the famous role of the movie John Wick .

“My knees are saying, ‘You can’t do another John Wick movie .’ I really want to, but my knees don’t agree,” the actor humorously shared.

In addition, Keanu Reeves confirmed that he will appear in the upcoming spin-off film From the world of John Wick: Ballerina and voice the villain Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 .

Having been involved with the John Wick series since 2014, Keanu Reeves’ legendary assassin role has left a deep impression on fans over the past decade.

Beast Games show criticized for being cliché

According to The Guardian , the TV show Beast Games, produced by Amazon in collaboration with the world’s most subscribed YouTuber – MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson), has just launched on Prime Video.

Beast Games is essentially a YouTube video on a massive scale. 1,000 people compete for $5 million through challenges like pulling a monster truck, answering trivia questions, or living on a giant movie set.

The similarities to Squid Game are so obvious that Beast Games could be sued for copyright infringement.

Squid Games is highly regarded for its art and social message, while Beast Games just feels empty and flashy.

Many players were forced to sacrifice themselves or give up if they wanted their team to advance. Scenes of crying, pleading and anger filled the screen as everyone clung to the hope of winning $5 million.

In September, five Beast Games players filed a 54-page lawsuit, alleging mistreatment, inadequate compensation, and emotional distress including pain, anxiety, and embarrassment.

Through that, we can see that Beast Games reflects the harsh reality of modern life: how the rich have the power to manipulate thousands of people and the influence of social networks on real life.
