Born in 1981, Duong Dung belongs to the rare group of 80-year-olds who do not like to follow the “traffic” path. From an early age, she showed her love for art and actively took dance lessons. At the age of 13, Duong Dung packed her bags and went to Shanghai alone to study art school, determined. In the end, the little Yunnan girl was admitted to the Theater Academy when she was only 16 years old.

She began to be known thanks to a series of projects such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Cung Chau Chau Liem, Quest for Memories, Smiling Proud Wanderer, Van Trung and… However, the 8X actress hardly had the opportunity to develop. development, not because she is not beautiful or not talented, but simply because she is too lazy to care.
After many years of dedicating herself to movies, Duong Dung realized she no longer wanted to be controlled by her work. She gradually stopped accepting films, even taking a break for 1-1.5 years after filming finished. There are times when she turns off her phone and “isolates” herself from showbiz. To the point that Vu Chinh had to shake his head many times at Duong Dung’s personality, regretting that she could be famous without accepting it.
On a program, Vu Chinh once frankly commented that Duong Dung was a very lazy actor, so he missed many opportunities to become famous. For example, when director Trieu Bao Cuong invited her to perform, she refused because she had to go home before 10 o’clock. When Truong Yimou invited him, Duong Dung even made the great director wait 4 hours just to say no because it was not suitable.
Even Vu Chinh was told no by his own “house chicken” and refused to star in the blockbuster with a budget of up to 300 million yuan (more than 1,000 billion VND) called Dien Hi Cong Suc because he did not like waking up early and staying up late. As long as you don’t like it or aren’t interested, Duong Dung will refuse. However, Vu Chinh affirmed once again that it was not because she was arrogant, but simply that her “career focus” was not too great.
Not only does Duong Dung rarely act in films, she also rarely attends award ceremonies, even when she is nominated. The actress has the title “laziest in showbiz” but still constantly receives attention and invitations from directors. Duong Dung has a bright appearance, good acting, and is inherently difficult to cast, but he doesn’t have the ability to work. Once he accepted the role, he took it extremely seriously. Duong Dung also doesn’t mind playing a supporting role, as long as she likes it and finds it suitable.
Perhaps thanks to that, even though he does not possess figures that make the audience shocked, Duong Dung is still a “guarantee” for many films. The proof is that in 2022, the little flower girl returned with the leading role in Daughter of the Mountains and Forests, later achieving a score of 9.3/10 – the highest among Chinese films shown on radio and online in the past year. . The film even surpasses many masterpieces such as Liu Yifei’s Dream of Green Flowers or Trieu Le Dinh’s The Wind Blows Half Summer, helping Duong Dung become a flower girl with sky-high film scores in the past 10 years.
In addition, on January 11, she and Duong Yen were officially promoted, becoming national level 2 actors, in the drama arts sector of Shanghai. This is an achievement and mark that not everyone wants to have, they have to go through arduous training and examinations to get. She and Duong Yen are currently two of the rare 8X flower girls participating in this prestigious group.
At the age of over 40, Duong Dung is still extremely young and beautiful, her beauty is not too different from the time of her debut. The actress chooses a healthy life, not letting work create pressure and influence her emotions. Occasionally she will return to movies with her trademark “laziness”, and the audience will definitely still look forward to it and welcome it.
