Million-view" director Dang Tuan Chinh and his career advancement

Thanh Hương |

After the short film fever "Sorry, I'm just a banh gio seller", director Dang Tuan Chinh has made many advances in his career.

Director Dang Tuan Chinh is currently a noteworthy face in the Vietnamese film industry. Born into a poor working family, Dang Tuan Chinh entered life with a baggage of a round zero. The male director said that before becoming a director, he had experienced a period of many ups and downs.

After graduating from high school, he only got 9 university points for block A, but it did not make him flinch. On the contrary, it became a source of motivation, urging him to try many times harder than others. "I have to try my best to achieve success, because behind me is the industrious figure of my parents" - director Dang Tuan Chinh shared.

In 2010, Dang Tuan Chinh was admitted to a new major compared to him - acting. Throughout those years, his schedule was a cycle of making a living: going to school in the morning, going to work in the afternoon and evening. Remembering that time, Dang Tuan Chinh said his dream was simply to earn money each month to send back to help his parents.

In 2013, the short film "Sorry, I'm just a banh gio seller" inspired by his own life, caused a fever on social networks and brought the name Dang Tuan Chinh closer to the audience. Many projects opened up a series of opportunities for the male director with hit products such as "Hate the wind! Because the wind makes eyes sting", "The story of 2 single girls" (Hai Trieu - Duy Khanh) or MV "Please don't pick flowers" (Ho Quang Hieu)...

Despite achieving some success, male director Dang Tuan Chinh still humbly said: "Don't call me a director, because I work with the experience of someone who rose from scratch". Real-world sensitivity has taken the male actor further when working in the field of marketing.

Dang Tuan Chinh also continues to choose to pursue a Master of Economics degree from Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics. For him, a master's degree is not only an affirmation of his qualifications but also maturity in both soul and intellect.

When asked about the current young generation, the male director born in 1992 frankly said: "Nowadays, Gen Z guys are very good. You have appearance, education, economy and especially foreign languages. I think I am still far behind you".

In the near future, Dang Tuan Chinh will continue to go hand in hand on both paths in marketing and directing, and will continue to produce more quality viral products.
