Up to now, the two most exciting times for Vietnamese movies have been during the Lunar New Year and April 30 - May 1. During these times, the two directors who hold the largest audience share are Ly Hai and Tran Thanh.
Previously, Tran Thanh had won big with films like Mai, Nha Ba Nu... and Ly Hai was also very successful with his Lat Mat series.
Remember on April 30, 2024, Ly Hai had a bumper crop when "Lat mat 7" earned nearly 500 billion VND and helped his film enter the top 2 most popular Vietnamese films in theaters after Tran Thanh's "Mai".
Recently, Tran Thanh announced that the 2025 Tet movie is "The Four Guardians". This is also the movie he directed and will be shown on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025.
After Tran Thanh, Ly Hai also announced the movie "Flip Side 8", released on April 30, 2025.
According to information from the producer, the casting for "Flip Side 8" attracted more than 5,000 online and offline castings.
At the casting session, besides director Ly Hai and his wife Minh Ha, there were also artists Tiet Cuong, Trung Dung, director Quoc Thuan and actress Ngoc Tuong participating in the jury through the rounds to find outstanding faces for this new film project.
Besides thousands of candidates from all over, the casting also gathered faces that have made waves on social networks as well as those who have never tried their hand at film or participated in professional training.
It is known that "Flip Side 8" will officially start filming in December 2024. The film is expected to be released in theaters on the occasion of April 30, 2025.
Thus, Vietnamese movies for Tet 2025 and movies for April 30 officially have the participation of 2 big names.
