Taking on the lead role in a movie for the first time, Le Duong Bao Lam brought a colorful Chet-Xi-Ca - a tarot expert.
Chet-Xi-Ca is a tarot reader who always gives somewhat "heaven and earth" predictions.
A notable scene of Chet-Xi-Ca is at the pho restaurant. After cutting off contact with Quynh Anh and her family because they discovered that she had cheated him of money, Chet-Xi-Ca still did not give up his "sneaky" nature.
He performed a charming "fire-digging" act with the shop owner. He skillfully transferred money back and forth without letting the other party realize that he was being scammed.
This scene also features Ngoc Nguyen - a face that is gaining attention after her role as the neighbor in the movie "Mai".
In the film, Chet-Xi-Ca is not simply a "comedian" but also a person who connects the characters, contributing to promoting the film's plot.
Director Tran Thanh said he was particularly impressed with Bao Lam's professionalism and progressive spirit on set. Typically, his willingness to shave his head for a small scene showed his dedication to the character and his desire to bring a complete experience to the audience.
Tran Thanh shared: “Choosing Le Duong Bao Lam to play the role of Chet-Xi-Ca was the right decision. Lam brought a unique color to the character that no one can replace.”
