Douban is one of the most popular movie review sites in China with high reputation. Although not the only or most important factor, the score on Douban also represents the opinion of the majority of the audience, which has a certain influence on the success or failure of the work. In the last 4 years, the number of Chinese films with 8.0 douban points is extremely small.
Thanh Nghi’s film, Vuong Hac De reached a spectacular 8.0 douban score
According to statistics from 2021 – 2024, movies with 8.0 douban points include Son Ha Lenh (8.5 points), Teenager Ca Hanh (8.3 points), Thuong Lan Quyet (8.1 points), Phong Khoi Lung Tay (8.1 points), Co Tuong Tu Khuc (8.6 points), Lien Hoa Lau (8.5 points), Pho Thanh Chi Ha (8.5 points).
Notably, in this list there is only Lien Hoa Lau, Thuong Lan Quyet and Son Ha Lenh are movies with popular actors (young actors with a large fan base) participating in the acting.
The paradox of movies being promoted but of low quality
Currently, the Chinese screen is in a state of continuous film production and strong PR thanks to the names of young actors such as Yang Zi, Bach Loc, Trieu Le Dinh… but the quality of films is increasingly regressing. . Instead of investing in content, the crew accepted to pay exorbitant salaries to the cast.
Most notably, the two films aired this year by “drama queen” Yang Zi are Want To Love Forever and Thua Hoan Ky All have “flat” Douban scores of 7.2 and 6.4 points respectively.
