Sharing with reporters at the premiere of the short film "Con den day", actor Phung Duc Hieu surprised when revealing the arduous journey of finding children of the couple in real life. This is also a valuable emotional material to help him deeply understand the psychology of the characters in the new project.
Playing the role of an obstetrician specializing in infertility treatment, the actor expressed great sympathy for the core message of the film. He frankly shared that he and his wife once went through a period of great pressure when they had to resort to medical interventions to realize their dream of becoming parents.
Throughout those years, Phung Duc Hieu actively researched and learned medical knowledge from experts, and at the same time set a strict living schedule to prepare the best health foundation.
Recalling the challenging milestone of his family, the actor emotionally shared: "My husband and I also had a period of IVF (in vitro fertilization) to look forward to our child. At that time, I had to learn a lot about professional issues, learn from doctors and people around me.
It took me and my wife 5 years to get the baby. That half-decade journey gave me the opportunity to listen to many stories and accumulate a lot of practical experience," he said.
Understanding the ups and downs of an infertile couple helps him confidently transform into the image of a doctor in the new project.
In "Con den day", Phung Duc Hieu plays Dr. Khanh Quoc. Not only stopping at the professional aspect, this character is also a connecting thread, mediating conflicts at the hospital. The male actor said that the process of working with director Nguyen Manh Ha and medical advisors took place very comfortably and professionally thanks to the thorough preparation of the crew.
He added that the topic of infertility in the film contains so many real-life situations that when reading the script, he constantly sees his own image.
The actor hopes that the movie when aired will be welcomed by the audience with an open, gentle and full of family affection spirit.
