Few people know that, before officially agreeing to the project, the male artist had proactively asked to withdraw because he felt he was not ready both psychologically and technically for acting.
Sharing with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Hoai Lam said that at the time of receiving the script, he was not really confident in his transformation ability. Claiming to be "performing" made the male artist worried that if he did not fulfill his role, it would affect the overall quality of the film, as well as cause difficulties for the director and producer. Hoai Lam even suggested that the crew find a more suitable face when the project still has time to prepare.
I'm afraid I don't have enough character psychology, acting techniques are almost not much left. I don't want my lack of confidence to affect the whole movie," Hoai Lam said. However, it was the trust and encouragement from the director, producers and the entire crew that made him rethink. That companionship became the motivation for Hoai Lam to decide to move forward, striving to make the role more "bloody", more real and true to the spirit that the movie aims for.
The lengthy filming process was also a time when Hoai Lam faced many changes inside. Having to live with the character in high work intensity, constant pressure has clearly impacted the psychology and way of thinking of the male artist. He admitted that there were times when he was tired, having to sit down with himself to understand the character deeper, and at the same time adjust his emotions to avoid being swept away.
The longer I film, the more mature I feel," Hoai Lam shared. From the role in "Heaven of Blood", he learned patience, learned to listen more and accept his own shortcomings to gradually improve. Not only is it a movie role, the film also becomes a milestone to help Hoai Lam look back at himself, overcome fear and personal limits.
With "Heaven of Blood", the audience not only expects a dramatic work but also follows Hoai Lam's journey of effort and maturity in this stressful but also emotional comeback.
