The content of "Shooting the crocodile Lake" revolves around a difficult "sister-sister" love, with misunderstandings, hurt and a seemingly insurmountable distance. This motif is not new, and is even quite familiar to audiences who love romantic films. However, the point that makes the film attract attention lies in the way the two main characters interact and create emotions for viewers.
Tran Nghien Hy and Chau Kha Vu are 19 years apart in real life. On screen, Tran Nghien Hy is unlikely to avoid revealing her maturity, even being somewhat older than her co-star. However, surprisingly, the two still create the feeling of a real couple. The eyes, gestures and emotional rhythm between them are enough to convince the audience to believe in the love story told by the film. It is this favorite that has compensated for the limitations in script and production budget.
Not only attracting attention because of its content, the film also accidentally became a "images turning point" of Tran Nghien Hy in the eyes of Chinese netizens. Previously, when the news of her divorce from Tran Hieu broke out at the beginning of the year, the actress was the one who received a heavy wave of criticism. Many malicious comments blamed her for the reason for the broken marriage, even assigning Tran Nghien Hy negative speculations about her personality and private life.
However, when "Shooting the Hoan Kiem Lake" suddenly became famous, the audience began to look back at Tran Nghien Hy more fairly. Many old videos of the actress were "dug up", showing that she always maintains a gentle attitude, respects her colleagues and especially has a good relationship with female artists around her.
Perhaps Tran Nghien Hy himself did not expect that a film classified as a mid-range production line like "Shooting the Wardrobe" could create such a strong public effect. Not only did the film help "turn the tide" in terms of attention, the work also unintentionally gave the actress a rare opportunity to be recognized after many private scandals.
