The movie "Em dep em co ngay" by director Hoang Vu has just completed the second casting in Ho Chi Minh City with the selection committee including director Hoang Vu, Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen, singer Nguyen Vu and producer Annie Nguyen.
The selection round gathered more than 30 candidates, notably including many prominent faces including: Queen of Rock Music Ngoc Anh, beauty Bui Ly Thien Huong, "Mr. tia Chop" Anh Huy, Hoang Quan - adopted child of artist Hoai Linh...
Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen expressed her surprise when "Queen of Rock Music" Ngoc Anh registered to audition. Although she only took on a supporting role, the female singer made the entire jury agree because... she was too much. The female singer did not hesitate to perform a fiery song right at the casting.
This project refers to current hot issues such as social networks or AI, so I find it attractive. Moreover, I agreed to participate because I saw that the crew was very dedicated and gave priority to new faces instead of just choosing box office stars - Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen shared.
Singer Nguyen Vu maintained his "big brother" form when he continuously presented "brain-spinning" situations to test EQ, stage reactions and the inner strength of each contestant.
I was very happy to see young people show themselves. Many of them are not only beautiful but also capable of playing roles, expressing a variety of shades very well, said the male singer.
Another highlight is the appearance of two beauties Bui Ly Thien Huong and Thu Uyen, contestants of Miss Earth Vietnam 2025. After sparing a distance of more than 2,000km, the two flew from Hai Phong to Ho Chi Minh City just to audition, then hurriedly... flew back to meet the schedule for the competition.
Both of them have bright appearances, outstanding heights and natural acting. However, I hope they will escape the beauty model of a beauty pageant to show their true acting qualities - Meritorious Artist Kim Tuyen emphasized.
After the second casting round, the film crew has selected more than 15 young actors such as Millie Vu, Xuan Mai, Hong Hanh, Kim Vy, Trung Tuan, Truong Dang, The Duy, Minh Cao... to prepare to enter the pre-production stage.
It is expected that the film "Em dep em co quyen" will start filming at the end of this year and be released in 2026. The film is not only a work of entertainment but also a warning bell for the virtual life generation, where "beauty" and "copyright" are dominated by likes, comments and unknown algorithms.
The film also depicts the distorted image of individuals, the consequences of AI technology and the negative side of virtual popularity.
