7 years ago, in a conversation with reporter, director - Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen shared that she always felt a debt to history. The director of Red Rain has always felt that there is a debt to Quang Tri for a war film. After 7 years, Dang Thai Huyen has brought "Red Rain" to the theater and received a storm of compliments. Many audiences compare "Red Rain" to a blockbuster film about the theme of war and the history of Vietnamese cinema. The film is expected to reach the revenue of several hundred billion VND.
In addition to the tragic, realistic, and emotional scenes when recreating the 81-day and night war to protect Quang Tri ancient citadel in 1972, "Red Rain" also brings excitement and surprising moments to the audience when "using" the cameo cast (guest actors) unexpectedly.
Singer Hoa Minzy appeared for about... 2 seconds in the scene recreating the Paris Conference. In addition to Hoa Minzy, there was also the appearance of... 1 second of Schannel channel CEO Nguyen Lac Huy. Inviting "hot" characters such as CEO of Schannel channel or Hoa Minzy shows the efforts of the film crew to attract young audiences to the cinema of "Red Rain".
The director of the film "Doi Cat" - People's Artist Thanh Van - also appeared in a flash in "Mua Dong" with a one-word line "Roi".
In addition, "Red Rain" also featured Tiktoker Dao Le Phuong Hoa. Dao Le Phuong Hoa was born in 1998, is one of the hot TikTokers that many people love with the nickname "the hottest dance teacher on TikTok".
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter about the special cameo cast, director - Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen said: "Not only is it an attraction for the film, I think their appearance will bring excitement to the film. People's Artist Thanh Van was very enthusiastic. After "Red Rain" was released in theaters, I received great encouragement from my father, uncles and siblings who came before me such as People's Artist Dang Nhat Minh, People's Artist Thanh Van, director Bui Thac Chuyen... I am very grateful and touched.
The great spiritual encouragement from teachers, uncles, brothers, and colleagues will give us more strength with war and historical films. I hope that after "Red Rain", there will be many more films about war, history, and Quang Tri, from different perspectives... That will be a great thing for Vietnamese films".
