Phan Gia Nhat Linh's frank reiteration of the old story and public apology received attention from the media. Many opinions believe that this is an act of showing the receptiveness and responsibility of a director towards colleagues.
Em la ba noi cua anh" was once one of the Vietnamese films that was successful in terms of revenue, and also made a mark in Phan Gia Nhat Linh's career. The film attracted attention when exploiting a multi-generational family story with a close, emotional narrative, combining humor and nostalgia elements.
Returning to "Blood Moon Party 8", the crew said the project has a new color when mixing many elements such as psychology, comedy and everyday situations. Gathering a cast of many generations, along with behind-the-scenes stories revealed, contributes to creating attraction for the movie before its release date.
