Ngoc Trinh's skillful moves 'cause a storm' in public opinion
Ngoc Trinh declared "keep drowning... but apologizing will take a long time to sink", which is really difficult, because no one is better at stirring up public opinion than her.
'Stupid but good at making money'
Around 2010, when the "revealing" situation of Vietnamese showbiz beauties was not as widespread as it is today, Ngoc Trinh shocked everyone with her rather revealing lingerie photos.
From a country girl who went to the city to work as a billiard ball stacker and then was recruited by her manager to work as a PG at events, Ngoc Trinh suddenly became famous after just a few lingerie photoshoots. Her title was also much more beautiful: 'Queen of lingerie'.
But apparently not satisfied with the title of "queen", Ngoc Trinh wanted to be a beauty queen. She boldly registered to participate in the "Miss Vietnam International 2011" contest, held for the first time in the US.

Ngoc Trinh caused a stir in public opinion when she was crowned Miss Vietnam International 2011. |
Easily surpassing 35 contestants, Ngoc Trinh was crowned Miss, and right after the final night, people called her “Miss of the village”. Perhaps Ngoc Trinh did not care about this Miss title. The proof is that since the coronation night that year, Ngoc Trinh has never been confident enough to call herself “Miss” in public.
Ngoc Trinh's move was truly a masterstroke, she made public opinion boil over because of her, on the internet at that time there were endless debates about the "village beauty queen" Ngoc Trinh. Because no one expected that Ngoc Trinh with a secondary school education and countless scantily clad images could also be crowned beauty queen, a title that is highly respected and requires the most kindness in Vietnamese showbiz.
Not only good at acting, Ngoc Trinh also has statements that make people jump: "If you love someone but don't have money, you'll have to eat dirt?". This statement even became a popular joke among young people at one time.
Ngoc Trinh's naive statements such as: "If someone says that they don't love money, don't believe them, because they are a very fake person"; "I love money, the kind of money that has a clear, clean origin, containing a bit of bitterness, hardship, and suffering. The kind of money that is exchanged for sweat, brainpower, blood and tears when working hard to get it"; "I use all kinds of clothes, from branded to regular ones. My Chanel bag is also 6,000 dollars. I only spend money on my birthday, every time I have a birthday I change my car"...
When criticized by public opinion for having no talent but still being "famous" in the press, Ngoc Trinh did not show anger but immediately responded "stupid but good at making money".
Who dares to say Ngoc Trinh is "stupid"?
If she only stopped at making shocking statements or occasionally posting a few scantily clad photos online, Ngoc Trinh would just be average in this showbiz full of tricks.
But unfortunately, she is not an easy person when it comes to spending her own money to make a movie about her life. Tens of billions is an amount of money that many Vietnamese stars have, but thinking about making a movie about her life, no one dares to think about it except Ngoc Trinh.

Ngoc Trinh and the movie that made her justify her "not being a prostitute". |
People say that Trinh spent money to make the film just to justify to the whole country: "Trinh is not a prostitute". But it seems that public opinion once again underestimated Trinh. Because despite the continuous rain of "bricks and stones" from public opinion, Ngoc Trinh has risen to the top once again when she appeared proudly on VTV3 in the final night of "Dancing with the Stars 2016" after a delicious crying performance on this channel about half a month before. Perhaps even for Ngoc Trinh a few years ago, even in her dreams, she would not have thought that one day the name Ngoc Trinh would be so "respected".
From a PG to the Queen of lingerie or "Miss Vietnam International", Ngoc Trinh only received "cold" from public opinion and mainstream media. Suddenly one day, after the movie "56cm waist", she was able to clarify that "Trinh is not a prostitute", Ngoc Trinh's name was "elevated to a new level" to become an A-list star? She was also officially recognized as an artist on national television. What could be more prestigious for Ngoc Trinh?
And soon, Ngoc Trinh will appear on television with a new role when she accepts the role of MC for a reality TV show about lip-syncing. At the same time, Trinh also hesitated and thought when she received the invitation to participate in "Dancing with the Stars 2017".
It can be seen that Ngoc Trinh has now been “raised to a new level” when the mainstream media acknowledges her. This story is strange to the world, but it is common in Vietnamese showbiz, which is full of these strange things. The name Ngoc Trinh will soon become a versatile artist when appearing in many fields: model, MC, actress, dancer, etc.
But if you ask: What talent does Ngoc Trinh have that makes her famous? No one will be able to answer this question. Is it true that, as Ngoc Trinh said, she is “stupid but… lucky”. At this point, who would dare to say Ngoc Trinh is “stupid”?
