Before the movie aired, Dai Huc's Douyin account had about 10,000 followers, but after only 10 days, the actor recorded more than 1 million new followers.
This achievement comes from his blockbuster supporting role in "Yet Hi". The film starring Tran Tinh Huc and Lu Duc Hieu, not a too explosive work, but Dai Huc's role as General Director Bui Chan made a strong impression, even surpassing the discussion level of the main actors.
In particular, the 30-second non-verbal elevator click scene of male assistant Bui Chan and female lead Ho Tu (Lu Duc Hieu) has spread throughout social networks.
The media assesses that Dai Huc's fame explosion is not only thanks to a "escape" role, but also the result of a long-term effort and building a good image.
Right from the first episodes of "Yet Hi", Dai Huc's acting time was not much, 6 episodes had less than 3 minutes of filming. But every time he appeared, it was an impressive scene, watched by the audience many times.
The way Bui Chan builds the character is loved by many people. Wearing a flat, well-fitting vest, behind the yellow-rimmed glasses is a look that is both teasing and full of excitement; each gesture and movement of Bui Chan exudes the demeanor of a gentleman, but the half-faced smile with a bit of sarcasm reveals the inner hidden behind.
With just a few moments of appearance, Bui Chan managed to show the audience a complex character: on the surface gentle, polite, humble and polite, but inside cold, cruel and calculating.
Bui Chan grew up under the harsh education of his father, causing his inner self to be suppressed and distorted. His younger brother Tieu Tri Vu (Tran Tinh Huc) from childhood to adulthood always "won him one step", becoming the opponent that Bui Chan most desires to defeat. And the appearance of Ho Tu has made the feud between the two people enter a more complex situation.
Good at camouflage, manipulating people's hearts, for victory without abandoning tactics... If you only look at this description, this seems to be a character type that is very difficult to be loved by audiences. But under the performance of Dai Huc, Bui Chan - a villain - exudes a very unique attraction.
In the words of netizens, it is the type of "counterfeiting General, full of charm".
When talking about how to grasp the psychology of a character with a strong contrast between inner and outer, Dai Huc emphasized the importance of script research, understanding the character's context, family relationships and surrounding relationships.
This unexpected fame wave was beyond Dai Huc's prediction: "To be honest, I didn't expect the role to have such good results.
After "Yet Hi", the audience also looked back at Dai Huc's career and realized that he had had many impressive roles for a long time.
In the movie "The Years of Our France", Dai Huc is Tran Kieu Nien - a brightly enthusiastic and ideal revolutionary young man; in "No Witnesses", he plays Quach Vu, from a shy intern lawyer gradually turning into a gloomy and calculating person; or in "Mong Hoa Luc", he is "comedian" Tri Nha Noi - a playboy.
The roles have great differences in image, making it hard for the audience to believe that they are performed by the same person. Dai Huc is praised for her diverse transformation in acting.
According to Dai Huc, when facing the script and the role, he often puts aside external factors such as the director or producer, only keeping the feeling of wanting to get into the role.
At the same time, he said that he likes to play roles different from his true self: "I try to empathize with them, through the character's personality to understand myself better.
