"Quan Ky Nam" revenue as of the morning of December 20 was 4.7 billion VND.
Quan Ky Nam is predicted to have a revenue of 5 billion VND - equal to the revenue of Song Lang 7 years ago of director Leon Le.
The film was released on November 28, and has still had few screenings in theaters. Director Leon Le said that he expected the film to be picky about the audience, and was happy that after nearly a month in theaters, "Quan Ky Nam" still had a screening spot.
In both collaborations in 2 films 7 years apart, director Leon Le chose Lien Binh Phat as the male lead.
In a conversation with Lao Dong, Leon Le said: The Quan Ky Nam project was formed during the time I worked as Song Lang. From that moment on, I decided that the role of Khang (Quan Ky Nam) would be written specifically for Lien Binh Phat, even though Song Lang had not yet finished it. I soon realized the qualities of a rare film actor in Lien Binh Phat. I feel more or less responsible for Lien Binh Phat's acting career, because I was the first person to find him and help him look at the way a film actor works."
Leon Le gave many compliments to Lien Binh Phat. The director of Quan Ky Nam hopes that, with his qualities, Lien Binh Phat can go further in cinema, cooperate with many different directors, take on roles with different colors to express himself, not just be tied down in Leon Les film.
"I was afraid that Phat might be surprised when participating in other projects. He will have to continue to develop his career, he cannot make my films forever. So I want to continue to explore Phat's talent, to develop the qualities I can see, something I'm afraid Phat will hardly have the opportunity to do elsewhere" - Leon Le said.
What impressed Leon Le and had special feelings for Lien Binh Phat was his kindness.
In Phat, anyone who comes into contact can immediately feel that this is a person with a very pure and kind heart, lovely, I have never seen Phat say many things or speak ill of anyone. Sometimes I feel self-conscious, but when I am with Phat, I think I should not do many things. Being with Phat, I sometimes felt shy" - Leon Le said. The humorous director of Quan Ky Nam affirmed that he did not dare to speak ill of anyone when he was with Lien Binh Phat.
According to Leon Le, the kindness, warmth, and kind heart of a good person greatly influence becoming a good actor. The first quality of a good actor is empathy and kindness, so that even if playing the role of a murderer, the actor still understands and loves his character, to find the reason why that character had to kill. Inside a against- rival, cruel person, there is still hidden somewhere honesty.
I once told Phat: We are lucky to have found each other. If I say grateful, then we are both grateful to each other. Because it was Lien Binh Phat who helped Song Lang do that. Without Phat, I could not have imagined anyone who could have played the role of Dung Thien Loi so perfectly.
Lien Binh Phat has made the character I really like on paper come true. I remember the moment I sat up to build Song Lang, in the scene where Dung fought with a group of thugs to protect Linh Phung, in a moment I forgot that Dung was an unreal character. I love Dung as someone who spent many years "coming" to this character on paper, and now I see Dung on screen. It was a wonderful feeling for a director - the director of Quan Ky Nam expressed his affection for Lien Binh Phat.
