Actress Trương Bá Chi Denies Rumors of Permanent Film Ban

Rumors circulated that Vietnamese actress Trương Bá Chi had been permanently blacklisted from the film industry after a long‑standing conflict with Hong Kong entertainment mogul Hướng Hoa Cường and his wife Trần Lam. The speculation grew as Trương Bá Chi had been absent from cinema for nearly a decade, appearing only on occasional reality‑show programmes.

Both articles report that Trương Bá Chi publicly refuted the claims, stating she never intended to retire and is waiting for a suitable script to return to the big screen. She described the rumors as a source of severe psychological pressure and said only she knows the true facts. Earlier reports claimed the mogul’s family had cut her from projects in 2015 after disputes over her demands and conduct, and that Hướng Hoa Cường announced he would never work with her again.
