Triệu Lệ Dĩnh's reason for missing the Cannes Film Festival 2024

The movie "Tương Viên Lộng" directed by Tran Kha Tan, though not competing for any awards, will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. The cast, consisting of many stars, is expected to be present at Cannes, France, to promote the film.

The film is based on one of the most famous unsolved murder cases in China. The crime took place in a bustling alley during the period when Japan occupied Shanghai in the 1940s.

The story revolves around the wife Chu Chiem Thi (played by Chương Tử Di) who is accused of brutally murdering her husband - a murder that seems impossible for her to commit alone.

The murder thrusts Chu Chiem Thi into the spotlight of public attention in court, forcing her to face a fate intertwined with the nation's fate at that time.

To bring the work to the silver screen, director Tran Kha Tan spent nearly 9 years, from the beginning of filming in 2015 to the completion in 2023. In addition to Chương Tử Di, the film also stars Chinese actors such as Lôi Giai Âm, Vương Truyền Quân, Đại Bằng, Lý Hiện, Dương Mịch, and Triệu Lệ Dĩnh.

The arrival of the cast of "Tương Viên Lộng" is highly anticipated at Cannes. However, according to 163, actress Triệu Lệ Dĩnh will not participate in promoting the film in France. The reason given is that Triệu Lệ Dĩnh is busy with another film project, "Tại nhân gian," and hence will miss the Cannes Film Festival.

According to a source, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh is not proficient in foreign languages, so she is believed to lack confidence in attending Cannes. Additionally, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh has also been criticized for her limited fashion style. In response to the criticisms, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh posted a video affirming that she is busy with a new film project and thus unable to participate.

Triệu Lệ Dĩnh (born in 1987) is one of the Chinese stars who comes from a poor rural background, often mocked for her appearance and perceived lack of modern style. However, overcoming all obstacles, she is now an A-list celebrity and one of the wealthiest stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

According to NetEase, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh has amassed a considerable fortune after 15 years in the arts. Since 2017, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh has ranked 4th in the list of highest-earning native Chinese stars voted by Forbes magazine.

On average, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh earns about 100 million CNY (approximately 340 billion VND) per year. The actress mainly earns from acting in films, participating in reality TV shows, and advertising for various brands.

For many years, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh has been praised as a versatile actress who knows how to express emotions through her facial expressions.

Earlier this year, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh received praise from the Chinese film industry and audiences for her role in the movie "Điều thứ 20" directed by Trương Nghệ Mưu.

In the movie "Điều thứ 20," Triệu Lệ Dĩnh portrays a mute and outraged mother who witnesses her daughter being oppressed but is unable to do anything about it.

At the film's press conference, director Trương Nghệ Mưu praised Triệu Lệ Dĩnh's talent and effort, stating, "This is the first time I have collaborated with Triệu Lệ Dĩnh, and she has surprised me a lot. I think this surprise comes from her effort."

Triệu Lệ Dĩnh herself admitted that "Điều thứ 20" was an exciting experience for her, helping her learn a lot about the acting craft.

Among the actresses of the 80s generation in China, Triệu Lệ Dĩnh is considered to have made progress in her acting skills and is determined to reinvent herself through each role rather than following the general trend of romantic dramas.
