According to statistics from Box Office Vietnam on January 30, the movie "Billionaire Kiss" is currently in the top 2 at the box office, after the movie "The Four Guardians" by Tran Thanh. The project starring Thien An earned more than 4 billion VND after the first day of release.
"The Billionaire Kiss" brings together a famous cast including Doan Thien An, Le Xuan Tien, Ma Ran Do, Vo Tan Phat...
The work marks the first time actress Thu Trang tries her hand at directing.
Before "The Billion Dollar Kiss" was released, not many people had high expectations for the film because it was Thu Trang's first film. However, when the film was released, many audiences were quite surprised by this project.
The script of "The Billionaire Kiss" is quite simple but colorful. The screenwriter tried to refresh the story by not following the familiar and old "Cinderella love story" motif.
Instead, the film takes viewers from one surprise to another by continuously inserting humorous, half-laughing, half-crying situations.
Interestingly, the film does not over-idealize the love story but instead includes very ordinary, simple yet realistic details. Many lines are also quite “trendy” and full of romance, helping the work easily win the hearts of young audiences.
Besides the flirting tricks and drama of the love triangle, the film also brings a different perspective on love and family affection, as well as life values in modern times.
Before "The Billionaire Kiss", Doan Thien An had made her big screen debut with a supporting role in the movie Cong Tu Bac Lieu (2024). However, the beauty born in 2000 appeared for a short time, making many fans feel regretful.
In an interview with reporters, director Thu Trang said she also has complete trust in Doan Thien An, believing that the beauty queen meets all the criteria for the role, not only in appearance but also in acting ability.
Thu Trang shared that choosing young faces like Thien An was her bold move in the Tet film. However, the female director saw the beauty queen's efforts and progress.
As for Doan Thien An, she faced a lot of pressure when taking on her first leading role on the big screen. The beauty did not hesitate to attend a traditional banh mi making course in Da Lat before the film started filming to better understand the character's living conditions.
Doan Thien An is an amateur, not trained in school, so getting into character and controlling emotions is more difficult than her seniors. However, she has constantly learned and tried, taking advantage of her inherent strengths to bring a lively, approachable and lovely Thuy Van to the screen.
When the film was released, many viewers said that Doan Thien An's acting improved, which was the highlight of the film. She interacted well with co-stars such as Thu Trang, Le Xuan Tien and Ma Ran Do, creating natural and genuine reactions in situations.
In particular, Doan Thien An has a memorable scene when the character explodes with emotion at the trampling of others. That moment is not only the climax of the film but also the highlight of Doan Thien An's acting ability.
Besides Doan Thien An, the supporting cast also played their roles well, making the film more attractive.
However, the film still has some unfortunate limitations, especially in handling the rhythm. Sometimes, the editing lacks coherence and is not really smooth. Some situations are still a bit exaggerated, making the story sometimes predictable and not really surprising.
