According to Sohu, the film Endless West, produced by Duong Quan Quan, Tieu An Tuan, and Luu Duc Khai since 1998, remains one of the most “trash” films that is difficult to watch, causing many viewers to turn away from the screen. Actress Duong Quan Quan, after this work, has also been subject to significant criticism, leading her to withdraw from the spotlight.
Sources indicate that Duong Quan Quan is still a wealthy family heiress with a passion for film. Despite entering the industry at a young age, the actress made a strong impression with her large eyes and beautiful oval face. However, Duong Quan Quan has undergone cosmetic surgery that has altered her appearance, making her look older than her real age of just over 30.
Due to her love for the traditional story of “Co Long,” Duong Quan Quan has reportedly spent over 30 million yuan (more than 105,000 USD) to buy back the rights and produce the film Endless West. In this project, Duong Quan Quan plays the leading role alongside renowned actors such as Luu Duc Khai and Tieu An Tuan.
At this time, Duong Quan Quan has entered her 31st year, yet she is still cast in roles for characters much younger than 18. However, due to her appearance, Duong Quan Quan no longer looks like she did before; her beauty has faded, and her design has undergone poor styling, making viewers criticize her acting in Endless West even more.
Particularly, when standing next to male co-star Tieu An Tuan, who is six years younger than Duong Quan Quan, the age difference is striking, making it difficult for audiences to accept. The film’s dialogue also seems out of place given the entire context. Many elements combined have turned Endless West into a haunting experience for viewers.
Moreover, later on, actor Tieu An Tuan was seen expressing his discomfort while filming, not knowing who the main character was. When he was invited to participate in this adaptation of Co Long’s famous novel, Tieu An Tuan was very excited and signed the contract immediately. However, upon learning who the lead was, he felt it was hard to accept and decided to finish his part. The actor is also struggling with mental health issues, especially wanting to quit due to the film’s reputation.
According to 163, in the film, Tieu An Tuan appears more handsome than Duong Quan Quan, but the actor does not want to be overshadowed, especially at the end of the film where his character is supposed to shine. However, before shooting, the director had to do “image work” with Tieu An Tuan for three hours straight.
After 36 years, this film has become an unforgettable landmark for audiences. Currently, any actor “trying to make a name” is compared to Duong Quan Quan. At the same time, many images from the film have turned into memes on social media.
