"Vietnam Concert Film: We are Vietnamese" is difficult to sell tickets, the screenings are only a few tickets, and left the theater with a modest total revenue of more than 200 million VND.
This film could have been made better because it is rich in materials, especially materials about Vietnamese culture. Hoang Thuy Linh named the film with the message "We are Vietnamese", thinking that she would use Vietnamese cultural materials, love for Vietnamese culture as the main theme, throughout, but no, more than half of the film is the time for the female singer and the entire crew to talk about... Hoang Thuy Linh.
Hoang Thuy Linh is famous for being a singer who sings with intelligence. Hoang Thuy Linh graduated from the Faculty of Television Directing - Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema. The film "Vietnam Concert Film: We are Vietnamese" was shown by Hoang Thuy Linh in her role as director when collaborating with Kawaii Tuan Anh.
Vietnam Concert Film: We are Vietnamese was invested in a lot of images, sound, and lighting. The film has many beautiful shapes, quality sound, and many quiet spaces interwoven with emotions.
The biggest weakness of the film is that there is too much talk. Hoang Thuy Linh felt worried that the audience could not fully feel her talent, efforts, and hard work, so she had to use many interview segments.
Hoang Thuy Linh's talent, talent, and intelligence should have been expressed more delicately in terms of visual effects, with a more solid and impactful script. Instead, the second half of the film is almost continuously the scenes of the crew interview, and everyone sent out the words "Hoang Thuy Linh is very good", "Hoang Thuy Linh tries very hard", "Hoang Thuy Linh is inspiring"...
Allowing the crew members to praise each other lost the objectivity of the concert, as well as Hoang Thuy Linh herself. In addition, the way these messages are expressed in words is heavy, arranged, and lacks sophistication.
Hoang Thuy Linh's talent and efforts should not be "exalted" in words (if any, it should also be minimized), but should be left behind behind behind the image, so that the audience can feel it after watching the film.
The film is rich in materials to process images and scripts, because Hoang Thuy Linh has a very unique personal musical color. There, the female singer brought ethnic cultural materials, indigenous cultures of regions combined with electronic music to release a series of unique hits to the market.
Neutral audiences (not Hoang Thuy Linh's fans) will want to go see a film "We are Vietnamese" - there, depicting how Hoang Thuy Linh has studied and studied the cultures, how she has gone to the Northwest, how to film "ade Mi Say Me Say Me and Listen" with the costumes of the Mong people, how the beauty of the Mong people in real life and when entering music, step onto the stage... Neutral audiences come to the the theater not to watch a film mentioning "Vietnamese" but instead tend to praise Hoang Thuy Linh, what the audience wants to see is a film about the beauty of Vietnamese culture, the journey - the research of a young singer when bringing culture and music onto the stage.
If the stature and beauty of Vietnamese culture are studied more carefully and included in the script at a more in-depth level, the film "We are Vietnamese" will have more value and emotions.
