Cat Phuong has just made statements about the film "Co choi co chiu" in which she participated. Previously, she attracted attention when she criticized the film she participated in for being unfinished and thought that director Hoang Anh Duy was still "lacking in his profession".
Cat Phuong admitted that his statement was hasty and lacked emotional control. The actress said that she was upset because on the day before the show, the crew did not gather enough actors to read the script and give comments. On cinetour day, when she witnessed many audiences only giving the film 5 points, even 1 point on a scale of 10, she lost her calmness and spoke out to criticize the film right at the event.
"cat Phuong's first mistake came from being hot-tempered. However, the reason I lost my composure was because the director did not listen to the suggestions of seniors and seniors in the profession. If the crew had gathered all the actors to read the script, discuss and edit right from the pre-production stage, the film could have found many bright spots" - she said.
"I don't intend to extinguish the young director, I just want you to wake up. Making a film is not simple, if you are really passionate, you have to study and invest seriously, Cat Phuong added.
According to the story, during the production process, the director directed filming many times along the line of the scene instead of sticking close to the script. Cat Phuong had intended to leave the project, but because he maintained his professional ethics, he continued to work. She also revealed that she has not received any salary, has not signed a contract with the crew and is ready to go to court if the incident is brought to court.
Although he has spoken out to explain, Cat Phuong's apology is still not enough to extinguish the controversy.
The main reason lies in the way Cat Phuong explained. In addition to admitting her mistakes, she continued to affirm her statement to help the young director "really compensate" and have to go to school if she is truly passionate. This makes many people think that apologization is more of an excuse than a suggestion.
On the other hand, the actress's statement touched on sensitive issues in the profession. Usually, actors limit criticizing the films they act in publicly, especially when the work is still released, because it can easily affect the collective image and box office revenue. Cat Phuong's "crossing the fence" is considered unprofessional, making it difficult to avoid reactions from the crew and the producer.
In addition, the producer said that Cat Phuong's statement caused significant damage, reducing limited screenings. They said they would ask for legal intervention, making the incident more tense.
Public opinion therefore divided into two streams: One side agreed with Cat Phuong for daring to tell the truth, the other side criticized her for being tactless and "throwing rice into the pot" of the entire crew. It is this polarization that makes the apology unable to close the scandal.
