The beauty surprised when transforming into a spirit medium with a different image, marking a new turning point in her journey to pursue her acting passion.
After the producer announced the main cast of the movie "Lầu chú Hỏa - Lời nguyền con ma nhà họ Hứa", Nguyen Cong Nuong quickly became a name that received much attention from the audience.
In this project, the actress plays Co Dong Bach - a character with a mysterious appearance and related to spiritual rituals in the film. On the official poster, Nguyen Cong Nuong appears with sharp eyes, haunting expressions and a characteristic Dharma dress, creating a completely different image compared to previous roles.
According to the introduction from the production crew, Co Dong Bach plays an important role in the soul calling ritual, predicted to be one of the notable segments of the work. This is also the first Vietnamese film to apply the found footage (fake documentary) style - a genre that is favored by many horror filmmakers around the world.
Sharing about her decision to return to the big screen with a role imbued with spiritual colors, Nguyen Cong Nuong said she was attracted from the moment she read the script.
Nuong is not afraid of characters with bizarre looks. Each role has its own color and requires different ways of expression. The important thing is how to make the audience remember my character," the actress said.
The role of Ms. Bach marks Nguyen Cong Nuong's return after nearly 12 years of absence from art projects. Previously, she was known by her stage name Nancy Nguyen, entered the Top 10 Miss World Vietnamese and participated in films such as "Blood Heart", "Miss Long Legs", "Storm"...
Especially, in the movie "Blood Heart" directed by Victor Vu released in 2014, Nguyen Cong Nuong played Hong - the lover of the character played by the late actor Quy Binh. Although not appearing much, she still left an impression thanks to her outstanding appearance and natural acting style.
When her career was having many opportunities to develop, Nguyen Cong Nuong suddenly left art. The actress said that family upheaval more than 10 years ago forced her to put aside her passion to focus on business and support her loved ones to overcome difficult times.
Many people wonder why I didn't continue acting but switched to business. But at that time, my family needed me more. Now everything is stable, I want to return to my passion," she shared.
According to Nguyen Cong Nuong, the period of temporarily leaving art helped her accumulate more life experiences, thereby having more material for acting.
The movie "Lầu chú Hỏa - Lời nguyền con ma nhà họ Hứa" is inspired by the folk tale "Oan hồn Hứa thị", revolving around the journey of discovering the house rumored to be haunted by 6 young streamers. The movie has early screenings from June 10-11 and officially premieres in theaters from June 12.
