Hundreds of billions in revenue and the pressure of Kaity Nguyen and Thanh Son

Bình An |

As of the afternoon of February 1, the revenue of the movie "Loving the Wrong Best Friend" was more than 7 billion VND, far behind its 2 competitors in the Tet movie race.

Thu Trang's work "The Billionaire Kiss" is reaching 21 billion VND while Tran Thanh's "The Four Guardians" has reached 140 billion VND.

"Love by mistake" is being left behind with a very large gap in revenue, and is predicted to have difficulty reaching the hundred billion mark as expected.

“Love by mistake best friend” has the participation of Tran Thanh and female lead Kaity Nguyen in contributing to the production cost. The film is directed by 2 directors Nguyen Quang Dung and Diep The Vinh.

In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, when mentioning the revenue pressure of "Love by mistake for a best friend", Kaity Nguyen said: "I am not only an actor participating in acting, but also a producer of the film, so the revenue pressure is very large. Any producer when investing will hope that the film will be well received by the audience. As an actor, I also hope that the film will have appeal when it is released in theaters. I also participate in both roles, so I definitely hope that Love by mistake for a best friend will be supported by the audience."

Kaity Nguyen was once considered a "hundred-billion-dollar actress", "hundred-billion-dollar beauty" of Vietnamese cinema when participating in a series of high-grossing film projects such as Em chua 18, Tiec trang mau, Gai gia lam chieu...

Along with Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Kaity Nguyen is expected to be a box office guarantee for Vietnamese films. However, in 2024, Kaity Nguyen participated in the film “Cong Tu Bac Lieu”. The film disappointed with its simple script, crudely simulating the legends of the Bac Lieu prince, and failed at the box office.

In response to the question, “Is the failure of the movie “Cong Tu Bac Lieu” a failure for Kaity Nguyen?”, the actress said: “I don’t think so, every movie gives me very unique and necessary cinematic experiences. Revenue is very important, but revenue is affected by many factors. Personally, I always try my best with every project, every role that I decide to participate in.”

With "Love by mistake best friend", both Kaity Nguyen and co-stars like Thanh Son and Ngoc Vang affirmed that they had a memorable time while participating in the film crew.

Thanh Son shared that he was impressed with the film crew's investment and Kaity Nguyen's professionalism.

“I have watched Kaity Nguyen in films like Em chua 18, Tiec trang mau... I was very impressed with Kaity. When working together in Yeu thay ban than, Kaity was truly a great co-star. She was very professional, focused and devoted to her role” – Thanh Son said.

Regarding the question, “Do you dream of becoming a billion-dollar actress like Kaity Nguyen? To participate in high-grossing film projects?”, Thanh Son said: “That is not exactly a dream, but a destination. As an actor, I think everyone wants to participate in really good film projects, to be welcomed by the audience, to have the audience recognize the value of the work and the role. The film having high revenue and selling tickets means being accepted by the audience. I am no exception, I always want to change myself, want to try many types of roles, to participate in big projects, and to achieve high revenue.”

Thanh Son had a big turning point in his career in 2024 when he moved from the small screen to the big screen for Tet. Thanh Son revealed that he has a new project, with a role with a completely different color in the new year 2025.
