Huyen Lizzie returns to the small screen in the movie "Cach em 1 milimet", playing the role of Ngan (as an adult). Many viewers believe that the films motif is similar to your most recent film, We of the Eight Year Old. What is the reason you chose a project, a role with similarities?
- When accepting a project with a somewhat mature and past, it will be very stressful. The main proof is that the film "We of 8 Years Later" also received many mixed opinions from the audience. Usually, after watching the characters of the past, everyone is used to them, used to the acting style, the thinking of the characters, the freshness and purity of youth. Then when I played the role of Duong as an adult, she became depressed and depressed after going through many events in life. Therefore, when I first watched it, the audience would not accept the character Duong when he was an adult, because she was too sad. That film made me stressed and stressed a lot, but then when the audience became more familiar with the performances of the adult version actors, they continued to accept the film.
After the movie "8 Years of Us" ended, I also received a lot of love from the audience. Following that success is now the role of Ngan in the movie Cach em 1 milimet. Luckily, the role of Ngan is an actress of the past and present with many similarities. The director of Cach em 1 milimet chose actors very well. All actors of roles in young and adult are the same. Many audiences have the same feeling that why can the director choose actors who look so similar.
However, when the adults showed me, I was under a lot of pressure, not knowing if I was doing well or not, the pressure to act the character correctly, to resemble the past character.
When filming "8 Years From Us", Huyen and her co-star had to face the contrast from the audience, in which there were opinions about the - actors who played characters when they were adults - not being as good as the actors who played their younger roles. Up to now, how have the controversy, the reaction from the audience, the criticism from the public... affected Huyen Lizzie?
- The audience's comments have a great influence on the actors and me personally. I am a person who cares about the emotions of the audience and I always read all the comments of the audience. If the audience praises me, I will be very grateful and grateful, but if they give me feedback, I will have to review myself, review the way I act and think about the character I play. How to make the audience sympathize with the character. If the audience cannot sympathize with that character, it means I am thinking wrongly about my character.
The actors' delicate point is to find common points, to connect the two parts of the film, giving the audience the feeling of watching a common character, not two different actors.
The audience is increasingly demanding. They easily go to online film platforms like Netflix to watch the hottest, best movies in the world. The ability of audiences to feel and evaluate a character or a film is now far different from before. When standing in front of the audience now, what is Huyen Lizzie most worried about?
- It is true that the standards of the audience are much higher now. The more society develops, the higher people's taste in watching movies will be. When the films are aired, the audience hopes for meticulousness from the characters to the image. Even in theatrical films, or long-running films, the images are very beautiful, magnificent, and act well. In Vietnam, cinema is also gradually developing, learning, investing, and improving experiences for products every day. Audiences watching Vietnamese films will certainly feel the changes every day.
We are also trying to help Vietnamese cinema and Vietnamese films develop more, appreciating the love from the audience. Vietnamese audiences have formed the habit of watching TV movies every night, so that also helps actors like us feel much more motivated when contributing to art and trying harder every day.
Television series have lacked the explosive projects they have had for many years. The theme is said to be surrounded by family stories, love - friendship - when world television has expanded many rich topics (natural disasters, school violence...), which role or theme does Huyen Lizzie like if chosen?
- It is true that in Vietnam, family topics are exploited a lot. I personally find the family theme easier to exploit, there are many stories for TV series to deploy. Difficult topics such as spirituality, disaster... will require a lot of investment capital because it is determined that making that film will cost a lot. Second, the technical and special conditions have not yet allowed.
If in the future, there are such projects, I also want to try them. When wanting to try roles, actors must have a rich5, very good imagination. With a film about disasters, there will be many special effects and actors have to imagine everything when in front of them is just green screen. Hopefully, Vietnamese cinema will develop further in the coming time. As a professional, I also really hope to try my hand at new roles, especially more special ones with many special effects and blockbusters.
Huyen Lizzie is always praised for her beauty in appearance and fashion sense every time she airs in a new role. Do you like being praised for your beauty or being praised for your acting?
- If I had both of those things to thank, it would be great. In each film I participate in, I am meticulous and respect the audience. Before acting, I always think carefully about the character, how to make his appearance, personality, speech, and words match the character's personality. Those are just to support the filming process, the most important thing is still acting. When the audience sees me acting well and honestly, I feel really happy. If I was commented as This Ms. Huyen Lizzie on air is very beautiful, meticulous and has extremely good acting, that would be the best feeling in my career for an actor, not just me.
Some people say that women are most beautiful when they belong to no one. And that, after coming out of a marriage, women are more beautiful because they know how to love and take care of themselves more. Is this true for Huyen Lizzie?
- I think it is partly true. As women, we must love ourselves. Only by loving yourself can you be more meticulous and take better care of yourself. When we love ourselves, the people around us love us. For me, the best thing for a woman is to have a happy, warm family. But each person's life is different and each person has their own circumstances and psychology. No matter what, love yourself, to see that life is great, why don't we enjoy that positivity? When we think like that, the universe will also return good things.
Going through the storm, at this age, how has your perspective on happiness and fame changed?
- When I was young, not too successful, just entering the world, my thinking about happiness, success, and wealth was quite rustic, I had a certain desire to win, and a desire for many things. At this point, after going through many events, I feel extremely lucky. To have today, luck is indispensable, so I really appreciate it. Just give your heart to work, accept the things that come to you with a relaxed, relaxed mindset, you will receive the good things back.
I have experienced and found that when you maintain a positive attitude and gentle words, the universe will also return the same. I would like to send words of encouragement to everyone through this sharing.
In life, there will be many difficulties and things that are not smooth, but let's always keep a good spirit, be happy, and have a strong heart, then the peaceful and complete things will come.
