Phuong My Chi showed her roles in Huynh Lap's film "House of Ancestors". My Tien - the character played by Phuong My Chi has changed and matured in psychological developments. From a girl being accused by her family and neighbors, having to leave home to become an independent city, until My Tien returned, gradually regaining consciousness and growing up after seeing the ghost of her brother (Huynh Lap), a journey of change with many emotional turning points.
In scenes that require psychological weight, Phuong My Chi is still performing, but the overall character of My Tien is still positively evaluated, when the female singer transforms naturally, showing a lot of effort.
Before Phuong My Chi, Miss Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen left an impression with the role of Karen in The Four Guardians by director Tran Thanh. This year's Tet film season marks the arrival of a series of beauty queens who have entered the screen such as Tran Tieu Vy, Doan Thien An and Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen.
While Doan Thien An and Tran Tieu Vy are praised for their good roles, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen scored points for playing complex Karen roles. It is the complexity of Karen's psychological developments that has helped Ky Duyen demonstrate her acting ability and score points with the audience even though this is her first role in cinema.
In the near future, Miss Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien will also have a new role in the film "Chot don". Previously, Thuy Tien's performance in "Linh Mieu" was praised for her efforts.
The arrival of beauty queens and singers in cinema helps Vietnamese films become more diverse and richer, when the previous "hundred billion faces" were reserved for a few actors, focusing on Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc and Kaity Nguyen.
A paradox is happening, if the beauty queens and singers help a series of projects quickly earn hundreds of billions in revenue, then the "million-dollar beauty" of the Vietnamese screen, Kaity Nguyen, is constantly present in "bomb cycles", with lost revenue such as: Cong Tu Bac Lieu (late 2024), falling in love by mistake (Tet 2025).
Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc has not participated in acting in the past 2 years. Lan Ngoc's most recent film with Kaity Nguyen was "Girl from the past". The film gathered 2 "hundred billion beauties" and stopped at a revenue of more than 50 billion VND in 2022.
In 2023, when Phuong Anh Dao rose to fame with the role of Mai in the film of the same name that earned 550 billion VND from Tran Thanh, many audiences mentioned Lan Ngoc with many regrets. Lan Ngoc was once expected to be the "screen girl" of the new generation after appearing impressively with the role of Nuong in "Canh Dong Bat Tan".
Lan Ngoc participated in many high-project projects such as "Gai gia lam chieu", "Cua lai vo dau"... but in recent years, Lan Ngoc has mainly participated in entertainment game shows, singing, and forming a music group LUNAS.
In that context, many beauty queens are expressing their desire to participate in cinema for a long time and professionally. Tran Tieu Vy and Thuy Tien shared that they will learn more about acting to have new film projects.
Before filming "House of Ancestors", Huynh Lap wanted to target the main role for Kaity Nguyen, but in the end, he invited Phuong My Chi to bring a new breeze to Vietnamese films.
When a series of faces are taking the stage to embrace many ambitions for cinema, bringing a fresh breeze to the audience, there will be names that were once "screen gems", "million-dollar actors" who can be forgotten if they no longer have love and breakthrough for cinema.
