According to the “supporting role queen”, the co-star on stage or in front of the camera plays an important role. Because when two actors understand each other, it will be easier to complement each other. For example, in the case that the co-star forgets the lines, the “partner” will be the one to gently remind and help the co-star get back into the rhythm. Or when the co-star is the one who “throws” in previously unpracticed pieces, the “partner” is the one who improvises quickly to respond, creating humor and charm on stage.
However, actress Thuy Muoi said that it is not always possible to maintain harmony with her co-stars, especially in old plays that have not been rehearsed for a long time. When the co-star forgets a few parts, the other actor must know how to "steer" and bring the "partner" back to the right flow of the performance. This requires the actor to be quick and observant to avoid situations where the rhythm is "broken".
For young actors, actress Thuy Muoi often reminds her “juniors” to concentrate and remember the pieces carefully. In case the young actors forget the “piece” or cannot keep up with the rhythm, the “pillars” on stage like Thuy Muoi will gently remind them to get them back on track with the play. “The way to remind is to gently remind them so that they can remember and act out the pieces correctly,” the actress from Long An shared.
During rehearsals, actress Thuy Muoi often “juggles” with her co-stars to check the “quality” of the scenes. If actress Thuy Muoi can laugh, there is a high probability that the audience will be excited because the actress revealed that she is a person who finds it hard to laugh. According to the actress, for “experienced” actors, performing on stage will help the play “sublimate” because of the unexpected scenes.
Similar to actor Thuy Muoi, even though he only achieved 5 parts in practice, when on stage he can perform 8-9 parts, because of his confidence, creativity and ability to control the stage. However, young actors sometimes have difficulty because they cannot keep up with unexpected moves.
According to the “supporting role queen” Thuy Muoi, during many years of working in the arts, she often performed skits with actress Phi Phung and actor Thanh Tung. However, the “partner” that actress Thuy Muoi feels most compatible with is actress Phuong Dung. Because actress Thuy Muoi and Phuong Dung have an understanding from on stage to in real life, the two work together very effectively. When one of the two “throws a piece”, the other will catch on very quickly to create humorous, graceful and natural situations.
As for male actors, Thuy Muoi feels that he has good chemistry with actor Phuong Binh. Therefore, when working with actors Phuong Dung and Phuong Binh, actor Thuy Muoi feels very happy. Because, a good co-star is not only someone who "juggles", but also someone who can measure the audience's rhythm, because if there is just a little bit of deviation, the charm will be lost.
