Le Hoang Long moved the audience when playing the role of Sen in the movie "Red Rain" - the work currently leading the Vietnamese box office with a revenue of more than 459 billion VND as of 22:30 on September 3 (according to Box Office Vietnam data).
In the 81st day and night battle to protect the ancient citadel of Quang Tri, Sen was a soldier of the 1st squad. His role has haunted many viewers.
During filming, the entire squad of 1 was asked to stay at the set for nearly half a year to prepare and film. At that time, Le Hoang Long was a married actor and had a child.
Being away from home for half a year is not easy for Le Hoang Long because he has to "calculate" his wife's ideology.
Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, the actor said that at first, director Dang Thai Huyen clearly told him that if he agreed to participate in the film, he could have to stay with the crew for half a year and asked him if he agreed or not. At that time, Le Hoang Long immediately nodded.
"But to be honest, my wife was not comfortable at first and not very happy. After that, the couple had to sit back and talk. I analyzed to my wife the core value of the film, the dedication of the entire crew, and the pride in contributing to recreating the heroic history of the nation - where there are also losses and pain in exchange for today's peace. When I understood that, my wife started to sympathize, support and agree to let me wholeheartedly focus on the project, Le Hoang Long confided.
He told me when he participated in the movie "Red Rain", his son was only 2 years old. Therefore, the actor could not help but miss his wife and children when they were away from home for a long time to make films.
The biggest motivation for the 9X star is also her family. Therefore, he always told himself to try his best for the role to send that result to his wife and children.
The actor also shared special things about behind the scenes when transforming into a role that he will never forget in his life.
These are wounds from the start of the practice to hit for real, with scratches, bruises, swelling to flatulence in the legs.
Sen is a supporting role but has psychological depth and weight. Le Hoang Long shed tears while reading the script. This is also his first film role.
Meritorious Artist and director Dang Thai Huyen of the film commented that the role of Sen was the most haunting character for her.
Previously, Le Hoang Long participated in roles in TV series. He is a face appearing in films of the Vietnam Television Film Center (VFC).
In Happy Garage, Le Hoang Long plays Bao, who creates laughter because of his humor, and is called the salt warehouse of the film.
He once played the ex-lover of Yen (Hoang Thuy Linh) in the movie "Not afraid to Marry for Only One Reason".
The role of Senior Lieutenant Pham Minh Canh in "Black B order" also left an impression on the audience.
His most recent TV role was Senior Lieutenant Dong in "Co anh, do an binh an".
In addition to television, he received a Gold Award at the 2019 National Television Festival for his play Fatherland at the End of the Road.
