The STARmeter ranking is determined by millions of IMDb users, based on their interest in the actors and their movie projects. The ranking is determined by the number of visits users make to each celeb's page on its database. Last year Van landed small roles in the blockbuster “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and Netflix action-fantasy “Bright”. She made her Hollywood debut earlier in 2016 as an assassin in the Chinese-language sequel “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny”.
As one of the most popular actresses in Vietnam, Van has had a fruitful year in the country too, with the success of the movie “Co Ba Sai Gon” (The Tailor) that she produced and starred in. She is best known for badass female roles in local action movies including Dong Mau Anh Hung (The Rebel), Clash and Lua Phat (Once upon a Time in Vietnam).

The site enables registered users to submit new material and edits to existing entries. Although most data is checked before going live, especially when being submitted by new users, the system has been open to errors, and some sections are even abused. Users with a proven track record of submitting factual data are given instant approval for minor additions such as filming locations.
However, Image, name, character name, plot summaries, and title changes are screened before publication, and usually take between 24 - 72 hours to appear. Users are also invited to rate any film on a scale of 1 to 10, and the totals are converted into a weighted mean-rating that is displayed beside each title, with online filters employed to deter ballot-stuffing.
