Chinese actor Liu Yuning shot to fame with consecutive roles in "Chai Yao" and "Shu Juan Yi Meng," and movie offers are now flooding in. In a recent interview, he candidly admitted, "A senior approached me to play the lead in a film," yet he had already politely declined the offer, leaving many people surprised!
Liu Yuning couldn’t help but explain: "I feel that I don’t dare to play the lead role in a movie at this stage, as I’m afraid my lack of box office appeal could cause financial losses for investors. If the film loses money because of my participation, the guilt would be too much to bear."
As for his own acting skills, Liu Yuning further added: "I’m not outstanding enough yet and still need to hone my craft. There is a professional gap between series and movie acting, and more time is needed to grow." Many netizens expressed admiration for his humility after hearing the news. They believe that even though he is now among the top celebrities, he still remains "clear-minded," understanding that the current film industry faces many risks—even major blockbusters with big stars can sometimes flop.
In fact, Liu Yuning has already dabbled in the film industry. In 2019, he made a guest appearance in "Line Walker 2: Invisible Spy," starring award-winning actors Nick Cheung and Louis Koo. Although his part and lines were limited, he had the chance to perform the film's theme song, "Ruyue," as a member of the boy group “Modern Brothers.” Photos from that time have recently resurfaced online, with fans praising his youthful charm as adorable.
