For a young face, taking on the image of a beauty queen on the small screen always comes with very high standards and expectations from the public. The role of Vi Minh in this prime-time movie project not only brings opportunities but also poses no small challenges for Trang Emma, from acting pressure to character shaping.
The actress admitted that it is not easy to exude the aura of a beauty queen in accordance with the "strict imagination" of the audience.
Before the film started filming, she spent a lot of time practicing catwalk, bodybuilding, and also cultivated more knowledge about the world of beauty queens and beauties.
However, realizing that those physical skills cannot help herself gain the aura of a real beauty queen in a day or two, Trang Emma chose to focus more deeply on the inner world of the character.
Sharing about the role of beauty queen with Lao Dong reporters, Trang Emma confided: "I spend more time researching scripts, honing acting skills to highlight the character, emotions and psychological changes of the character in front of the camera, not just stopping at appearance. Because I don't try to become a'standard beauty queen', but try to make the character as real as possible".
When the movie officially aired and went more than halfway, Trang Emma's role quickly received many different feedbacks from public opinion.
Facing the multi-dimensional praise and criticism of the public, the actress chose a frank and proactive perspective instead of avoiding.
Instead of seeing negative comments as barriers or psychological pressure, she considers the audience's interest and opposing opinions as a valuable source of material to review her professional skills.
Trang Emma expressed: "Whether it's a positive contribution or opposing opinions, I will accept and appreciate it.
For me, the audience is a'mirror' for me to look straight at, correct shortcomings and cultivate more shortcomings to improve myself.
It is the audience that has given me very real emotions so that I can take them as'material' for my later roles.
Playing Miss Vi Minh in the film is actress Trang Emma (real name Huyen Trang, born in 2000). She is a former student of the Faculty of Radio and Television at the Academy of Journalism and Propaganda, graduated in 2022.
Coming from a photo model and being a "non-professional" face entering the film industry, she has accumulated experience through many large and small roles in previous television projects such as Village in the city, Near and far roads, No time or No limits.
Unlike the arrogant and sharp image of a beauty queen on screen, in real life, the actress pursues a youthful, dynamic style and maintains a discreet lifestyle.
