No shirt should be blamed for a wrongdoing
- Which luck brought you to your first role in the movie "Cach em 1 milimet"?
- Actually, Cach em 1 milimet came to me quite by chance. At first, I only attended the acting class of VFC (Vietnam Television Film Center) to improve and learn about acting, but perhaps the director found in me a certain quality that matched the image of the Russian character. When I received the role, I was very touched because this was a great opportunity in my acting and career journey.
- How do you feel after completing the scene with actor Chi Nhan in episode 18 when the Russian character was almost forced by Mr. Nghiem?
- It was one of the difficult and hard scenes for everyone from the actors to the crew. Everyone works very meticulously and delicately. When the director called Cut (stop), I was still not out of the characters psychology. The emotions of both fear and pity for Russia remained a long time after filming.
- How did you prepare mentally for this scene?
- I spent a lot of time studying the script, talking with the director and Mr. Chi Nhan to clearly understand each layer of the character's psychology. Before filming, Mr. Chi Nhan and I discussed carefully and were given a tour guide to agree on the way to express the filming to best and most delicately.
- Many opinions say that the Russian shirt worn in this scene is the "criminal" of the incident of Nga being raped by Mr. Nghiem. What do you think about this?
- I think blaming the outfit is an incorrect view. No shirt should be considered the cause of a wrongdoing. I understand and appreciate the audience's comments, but I also hope the audience will look deeper into the pain and circumstances of the character, instead of evaluating her through appearance.
Pressure in the debut project
- When acting with seniors and seniors with many years of experience in the profession, what did you learn?
- I am lucky to work with very professional and dedicated staff. Everyone has their own way of acting, their own way of handling emotions, because I am a "rookie", there are many things I am not good at, the brothers and sisters are very dedicated and honestly show me how to do better and I also learn a lot from their way of working.
- How did the director support you in difficult scenes?
- The director is very thoughtful and dedicated. He always exchanges carefully before each scene so that I can clearly understand the character's condition and psychology, while creating a safe and comfortable space for me to release emotions naturally. He is also very patient, always teaching enthusiastically every small detail. For a new actor like me, the direction of the director is the most precious thing.
- As a new face on screen, how much pressure do you feel?
- The pressure is certain, this is my first project at VTV ballroom where I have dreamed of for a long time and tried to get the opportunity. And also because I know the audience will pay more attention to a new face. But I see it as motivation to strive every day. I do not dare to think about becoming famous quickly, I just hope to be recognized for my ability, efforts and seriousness with the profession.
- From acting in music videos to TV series, how much effort have you put in to prove your ability?
- Music videos only record emotions in a few short minutes, while TV series are a long journey that requires acting depth. I had to relearn from dialogue, expressions to how to maintain the flow of acting, and the psychology for each segment. I always try even in the smallest scenes, because I understand that each scene is an opportunity for me to mature and is a precious opportunity that I have.
- Thank you for sharing!
