In an interview, Bai Lu talked about her chance to play the role of Xiang Xiaola in "Bac Thuong". The actress said that thanks to the movie "Honour Police" co-starring with Truong Nhuoc Quan, she had the opportunity to act in a new movie.
Both are CCTV's key projects, with a production team interspersed with each other. "Bac Thuong" is adapted from the novel that won the Mao Thuan Literature Award, requiring actors to have acting ability and a deep understanding of literature.
Through "Honour Police", Bai Lu has built an image and trust in directors and screenwriters in the drama film genre. That is an advantage that gives the actress born in 1994 the opportunity to receive a big project.
In "honored Police", Bai Lu plays Ha Khiet, a female frontline police officer, requiring a realistic acting style and delicate emotional expressions. When transforming into Ha Khiet, Bach Loc impressed viewers with scenes showing patience and resilience.
According to Bach Loc, her experience in acting in the movie "honored Police" helped her act honestly, becoming an important factor in casting for other roles, including Ha Phuong Hoa of "Bac Thuong".
The character Ha Phuong Hoa is a strong girl who grew up on the banks of canals, daring to love, daring to hate and daring to commit. The director and producer believe that Bach Loc's natural, realistic but equally profound style is very suitable for the role of Ha Phuong Hoa.
The film crew also revealed that Bai Lu has researched the canal culture and the development of the character very carefully. This shows the professional preparation of the "little flower of the 90s" for CCTV's project.
"Bac Thuong" officially aired in prime time on CCTV1 and the iQIYI platform from March 3. The film is based on the novel of the same name by writer Tu Tac Than - who won the Mao Thuan Literature Award in 2019.
The film tells the story of young people growing up on the banks of canals. They went through a difficult and arduous process of starting a business, then decided to return to their hometown to develop and meet again on Hoa Gia street.
