"Bac Thuong" is a project that is receiving great attention from the audience. Bai Lu's performance in this film was also praised for her good acting skills and not being afraid to create bad looks.
Many viewers wonder whether the role of Ha Phuong Hoa is inspired by Bach Loc? In response to the audience's questions, the screenwriter of the film "Bac Thuong" - Trieu Dong Linh, responded: "This is truly a rumor. I completed the script a long time ago and then went to Bach Loc".
Thus, Bach Loc's character Ha Phuong Hoa is not taken from her prototype in real life. According to Chinese media, in 2019, the original script was completed and the character Ma Tu Nghe (another character in the film) was used as the female lead. In 2021, the character Ha Phuong Hoa was added and adjusted in the script.
It was not until the end of 2022 that Bai Lu was confirmed to take on the role of Xia Fenghua and this is also the final female lead role of the film crew.
Thus, according to the documents, it can be seen that the character Ha Phuong Hoa was born 1 year before Bach Loc accepted to act in this film.
Screenwriter Trieu Dong Linh added that the female lead character Ha Phuong Hoa was added to serve the plot, not to "set her shoe" for Bach Loc.
Initially, the script focused on three male characters, but in the development process, it was realized that the character Ma Tu Nghe could not take on the female lead role, so Ha Phuong Hoa was added to increase emotional connection and reflect the context of the times. This character was idealized from the beginning of the script.
Zhao Dong Ling also said that she does not object to using well-known actors (famous actors thanks to a large fan base), but affirmed that Bac Thuong is a collective film, where the characters must serve the plot, not just to enhance their reputation.
