Talking to Lao Dong reporters, Khai Anh said that he had cherished many plans when he saw that the market for traditional TV series was increasingly limited. The explosive development of social networks, entertainment platforms, film screening through apps, OTT (Over the Top) made viewers alienated from traditional TV series.
Director Khai Anh once collaborated with Mai Thu Huyen in the long-running TV series "Nhung len trong dem" part 2. From this predestined relationship, when they met again, they jointly planned to develop a training academy in cinema, acting, and invest in technology, AI in short film production, TVC advertising.

China produced short films 15 years ago, and now they are very successful. The short film and advertising film market in Vietnam is still empty and full of potential. Regarding actors, with the development of cinema, the number of films produced is increasing, I think opening an actor training academy with the participation of international experts will be very urgent for the market.
