On the afternoon of January 27, Tran Thanh shared on his official fanpage the first record of the Tet movie "The Four Guardians" that he directed.
"The Four Guardians" officially reached 45,000 pre-booked tickets - becoming the Vietnamese Tet movie with the highest number of pre-booked tickets of all time.
This record of "The Four Guardians" also officially surpassed "Mai".In the 2024 Tet movie season, the movie "Mai" had 40,000 pre-booked tickets.
In the 2025 Tet movie season, "The Four Guardians" has to compete with 2 other Tet movies, "The Billionaire Kiss" and "Love by Mistake" for a Best Friend.
In terms of strength, in general, the 3 Tet movies this year all have their own strengths and have famous stars participating.However, the fact that Tran Thanh's movie has the highest number of pre-booked tickets shows that Tran Thanh's appeal is great.
"The Four Guardians" tells the story from Kieu's (Uyen An) perspective about the rather favorable life of her best friend Quynh Anh (Tieu Vy) - a country girl who lost her parents, living in the coastal area with her aunt Bon (Le Giang) and uncle Muoi Mot (Tran Thanh).
Quynh Anh's life seemed "rosy" until she and her boyfriend Quoc Anh (Quoc Anh) moved in together as husband and wife.
After many years of living together, the relationship between Quoc Anh and Quynh Anh gradually became cold, lacking communication and understanding, putting both on the brink of breaking up.Thanks to Kieu's introduction, Quynh Anh went to see tarot fortuneteller Chet-Xi-Ca (Le Duong Bao Lam) for advice.
Chet-Xi-Ca predicted that the relationship between Quoc Anh and Quynh Anh was bleak.
However, the young couple's life was even more disrupted when the "quartet" Kieu, Uncle Muoi Mot, Aunt Bon and Chet-Xi-Ca continuously interfered and created "half-crying, half-laughing" situations.
At the same time, Karen (Ky Duyen), a successful and charming woman, appears in Quoc Anh's life. Quoc Anh's feelings are gradually shaken, making Quynh Anh become more suspicious...
