In the backstage scene, the female singer - producer appeared simply in the countryside space. She wore casual clothes, comfortably chatting with local children.
When asked about her memorable experience in the Mekong Delta, My Tam recounted the situation that made the whole crew laugh: "Some children asked: Do you act in movies? ". I asked again: "Do you know me?", and the children said "no". I found it very interesting.
Not showing shyness or surprise in a negative way, My Tam received that innocent answer with joy. She shared that it was the simplicity of rural children that made her feel like she was "returning home". "The children are very innocent. I just said I was just watching, not acting," the female singer recounted with a comfortable smile.
This moment quickly spread on social networks after the behind-the-scenes video was released, attracting the attention of fans. Many viewers commented that this is a "very My Tam" image - close, without distance and not emphasizing the star's aura.
In the context that showbiz is often associated with fame and public recognition, the fact that an A-list artist like My Tam is happy when not recognized creates special sympathy.
Some opinions suggest that her reaction shows confidence and calmness in her current position. "When you are old enough, you don't need to prove who you are," a viewer commented.
Besides the story of interacting with children, the behind-the-scenes episode also reveals My Tam's perspective on the Mekong Delta setting in the film.
She said that although many works have exploited this land, director Mai Tai Phen's approach brings a very different feeling.
The director is from the Mekong Delta, so he understands the customs, habits and characteristics of this place very well. I like the way the Mekong Delta is placed in the film," she said.
Not only is she a producer, My Tam also accompanied the film crew throughout the filming process in the river area. Scenes filmed on boats, scrambling in the middle of the night fish market or Tri Ton panoramic flycam all show efforts to recreate the unique cultural space of the Mekong Delta.
