The movie "Cong Tu Bac Lieu" officially released the first trailer and poster. So, after nearly 2 years since revealing the first information about the film project inspired by the famous legend of Cong Tu Bac Lieu, the movie has confirmed its premiere in December 2024.
The highlight of the film "Cong Tu Bac Lieu" is the participation of actor Song Luan in the main role - Mr. Ba Hon. Transforming into a symbol of luxury and the most extravagant style in Vietnam in the early 20th century.
In the trailer, Song Luan attracts attention when appearing in a classy look: a signature white suit, shiny leather Oxford shoes, slicked-back hair, a gold ring on his hand, and a trendy Fedora hat.
All the people on the street stopped what they were doing to admire the outstanding appearance of Mr. Ba Hon when he drove around the city in a luxury car.
This interesting scene is accompanied by vibrant background music, implying that the appearance of Ba Hon will bring a new source of energy to every place he goes. In the trailer, Song Luan also confidently speaks French - a language favored by the upper class at that time.
Sharing about the role of Mr. Ba Hon, actor Song Luan said that he felt very excited to have the opportunity to portray the famous "playful" anecdotes of Cong Tu Bac Lieu - an extremely unique image.

Meanwhile, the line of Mr. Ba Hon at the end of the trailer: "I want wherever Mr. Bac Lieu goes, there must be joy" shows the cheerful, friendly, open-minded, and generous personality of a son of the richest family in the Southern Six Provinces.
