Not only stopping at sharing about attention-grabbing scenes, Tran Ngoc Vang also emphasized that the role in "Heo Nam Mong" is a significant turning point in his career. Once known for his handsome image and somewhat safe roles, this time he proactively tried his hand at roles with complex colors, even with villainous elements.
When asked about concerns about affecting his personal image, the actor frankly said that he does not put much emphasis on maintaining his image. For him, the most important thing is the opportunity to show his acting ability and explore new aspects of himself.
I have no image to lose. As an actor, I want to find roles that are challenging enough to develop," he shared. At the same time, Tran Ngoc Vang also expressed his expectation that the audience will see me from an acting perspective instead of just stopping at my appearance.
With the choice to embark on challenging roles, Tran Ngoc Vang is showing efforts to refresh his image, towards a long-term development path in the field of cinema.
The actor born in 1998 plays Chi - a man with a standard appearance, the husband of the character played by Oc Thanh Van. This character is built with psychological depth, when facing secrets in the past and the spiral of consequences related to folk legends.
Right from the moment the trailer was revealed, some bold scenes of Tran Ngoc Vang attracted the attention of the audience. Before the mixed opinions, the male actor affirmed that every detail appearing in the film serves the storyline, not for the purpose of shocking or simply attracting attention.
He shared that in the process of working, he completely believes in the direction of the director and the crew. From the stage of reading the script to filming, Tran Ngoc Vang always puts the story element and the character's emotions first. According to him, each scene has a reason to exist, contributing to clarifying the psychology and journey of the character.
As long as that segment serves the story and expresses the character's inner self, I have nothing to be afraid of," the actor said. He also admitted to being surprised when he first watched his own scene on screen, but said that it was a necessary experience in his career journey.
