The 2025 Vietnam Film Festival will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from November 21-25. In the categories of the Bong Sen award, the category of film is always the most attractive. This year's film festival witnessed the " fierce" competition of talented artists. In which, the cast of geography: Sun in the dark, Red Rain, Falling in the Air... all have expensive faces.
Million Dollar Actor Thai Hoa has 2 roles in 2 hundred billion films this year, Tunnel: Sun in the dark and death in the air. The two roles have two different colors but both show Thai Hoa's acting talent, transformation, and sublimation with the character.
In the film Tunnel: Sun in the Dark, Thai Hoa plays Bay Theo - the leader of a 21-man tour group based in Cu Chi after the Cedar Falls affair in 1967 carried out by the US military.
Director Bui Thac Chuyen said that he felt lucky to have Thai Hoa participate in this film. To play the role of Bay Theo, Thai Hoa had to practice thousands of scenes of shooting, dismantling guns, and crawling cows under the ground.
Thai Hoa must lose weight to travel well inland. Thai Hoa shared that he can't remember how much weight he has lost, he only knew for a long time, only eating 1 meal.
"When I arrived at the film crew, I only ate roasted rice. I don't remember how much weight I lost, I only know that one day, after filming, director Bui Thac Chuyen ran over and said, let's lose weight, let's be thin, we have to stay healthy. That means I am sick enough ( thin)" - Thai Hoa said.
Thai Hoa - who is always known as the "million-dollar actress" of the Vietnamese screen, played the emotional role of Bay Theo in "Tunnel: Sun in the dark".
After geography: Sun in the dark, Thai Hoa continues to release death in the air. He plays the villain Long - the one who finds a way to attack and rob a plane. Long is fierce and fierce, despite his efforts to achieve his goals. With the role of Long, Thai Hoa once again showed her ability to play diverse and transformed roles.
Both works that Thai Hoa participated in achieved high revenue, geography: Sun in the dark achieved revenue of 170 billion VND, while Death in the Air reached the finish line of 250 billion VND. These are all outstanding films of 2025.
On the list of nominees for Best Actor/Best Supporting Actor in the film category, Thai Hoa deserves a position.
Thai Hoa has received the Golden Lotus and Golden Kite Awards many times, but he hardly attended the awards ceremony.
In 2023, Thai Hoa received a double Golden Kite Award, he won Best Actor in both the category of movies and TV series, but Thai Hoa was absent.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, Thai Hoa shared that he was afraid of crowds and just wanted to be alone. Most of Thai Hoa's time is spent researching scripts and roles.
Continue to have impressive roles, and may receive nominations for Best Actor/Best Supporting Actor at the 2025 Vietnam Film Festival. Can Thai Hoa overcome the fear of crowds syndrome to appear at this awards ceremony?
Another difficult situation arose for Thai Hoa.
