At the film press conference, director Bui Tien Huy did not answer directly about whether actor Hong Dang appeared in the film or not. On the contrary, the director revealed what actor Hong Dang did when in Spain.
Director Bui Tien Huy said: "Personally, when evaluating from the perspective of an actor, Hong Dang is a very good actor, especially when acting in romantic movies. Especially Hong Dang has a very good acting ability with his eyes.
In 15 years, Hong Dang made 7 films with me and he was very professional. The last movie Hong Dang collaborated with me was "Thuong ngay nang ve". Hong Dang was still professional until the film was finished when he recorded the sound from Spain and brought it back in the final episode," the director said.
Director Bui Tien Huy added that if in the near future there is any VFC film that Hong Dang participates in, that film needs Hong Dang. That is also the opportunity that Hong Dang should return to the small screen. The director hopes that the audience can open their hearts to actor Hong Dang when he returns to art.
Previously, in a behind-the-scenes photo of the movie "Countdown Clock" that was spread, Hong Dang appeared. That is also the reason why audiences speculated that the male actor would return to the small screen.
On social media channels, actor Hong Dang is said to be pursuing a real estate sales job since the incident from Spain in June 2022.
Hong Dang was born in 1984, and has participated in several films such as Rainbow of Love, The Judge, A Lifetime of Resentment, Rose on the Left Chest, Sunset Against the Sun...
The last movie the actor participated in was "Thuong ngay nang ve". In the movie, the actor plays Duc, a man who has trouble in marriage because of his mother's excessive interference that caused the divorce. Actress Lan Phuong plays Duc's wife.
During the film's broadcast, due to Hong Dang's scandal in Spain in 2022, the role of Duc had to be edited. Actor Hong Dang was removed from the film.
In the final episodes, the role of Duc only appeared indirectly through the stories of other characters. After that, Hong Dang quit his job at the Hanoi Drama Theater and stopped acting.
In 2024, the actor appeared at a fashion event, taking pictures with his co-star Lan Phuong.
On October 22, 2024, the legal aid provider for Hong Dang and Ho Hoai Anh posted an article stating that the Palma de Mallorca Court (Spain) issued a decision to keep the file and suspend the case conditionally because it could not find evidence proving the crime.
Although the incident in Spain did not have a final conclusion, it seriously affected Hong Dang's image, life and career.
