The 2 most prominent male 'rookies' of VFC both have 'huge' family backgrounds.

With the strong development of television series, having “new recruits” to supplement the cast is very necessary. Among the new faces of VFC recently, we cannot fail to mention the appearance of Hoang Trieu Duong and Nguyen Long Vu.

Hoang Trieu Duong - son of the late People's Artist Hoang Dung

Hoang Trieu Duong is the son of the late People's Artist Hoang Dung. He was born in 1999 and graduated from Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema at the end of 2021. After graduating, Hoang Trieu Duong interned at Hanoi Drama Theater - where People's Artist Hoang Dung worked for more than 40 years.

With the stage, since he was a student, Trieu Duong appeared in 2 plays broadcast on VTV:The Road Ahead, The Unequal Battle.

However, it was not until he appeared on the small screen as a TV actor that the audience was truly impressed with him. Right in his first role in the movieStreet in the village, Hoang Trieu Duong has received public attention.

His resolute and attractive face and powerful family background have helped Hoang Trieu Duong easily score points with the audience. In 2023, the actor will continue to appear in the movieWar without borders.

Interestingly, in both films, Trieu Duong was given the role of a young, upright, ambitious soldier who always strives to complete his mission.

Although both of Trieu Duong's roles did not take up too much "screen time", they still left a strong impression on the audience. Sharing about following in his father's footsteps, Hoang Trieu Duong confided:“As Dung’s son, I really don’t feel any pressure at all. Instead, I’m always proud and have the confidence to express myself more. I think that’s also an advantage compared to many others. But more than that, I always strive to be accepted by the audience.”

The late People's Artist Hoang Dung was a veteran artist in the Northern cinema industry. He had many classic roles and was also a teacher who trained many stars for Vietnamese cinema.

For Hoang Trieu Duong, his father's "big shadow" is not what puts pressure on him:“Actually, people often ask what I need to do to overcome my father's shadow when he is so famous, but for me, I don't think I need to overcome my father's shadow, but instead, I will walk beside him.

For me, being known as the son of the People's Artist or the young actor Hoang Trieu Duong is not important. What is important is whether I do well enough for the audience to accept and remember me or not."

Nguyen Long Vu - son of "Mrs. Tao" Van Dung

Another “rookie” of VFC that has also attracted much attention from the audience in 2023 is Nguyen Long Vu. Long Vu was born in 2021 and graduated from Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema. He is the son of “Mrs. Tao” Van Dung.

Interestingly, both Long Vu and Hoang Trieu Duong participated in the film project.War Without BordersAlthough they are not in the same character line, it is easy to see that Long Vu and Trieu Duong are "opposite qualities" on the small screen.

In this movie, Trieu Duong plays a young navy soldier and Trieu Duong plays a "noble son of the mountains" named Cuong, who is very stubborn and arrogant because he has a rich father.

Previously, Long Vu tried his hand at small roles in films:My family is suddenly happy, a small path into life.In 2023, he continued to attract attention with his role as Quynh Luong's younger brother inDon't be afraid to get married for just one reason.

It is not difficult to see that Long Vu has a flexible acting style, suitable for the roles of young masters and "buffalo" with strong personalities. This is quite similar to the acting style of his mother - artist Van Dung.

Van Dung is not only famous for her image as the fierce and erratic "Tao Ba" but also leaves her mark on the small screen with her "sneaky" and energetic roles.

Long Vu revealed that even though he is the son of artist Van Dung, he still had to audition and "fail" continuously:“I tried to audition for many movies but kept failing. I saw that all my friends were tall and handsome, but I was the only one who looked like no one else.”

The young actor said that he himself is not pressured by having a famous mother working in the same profession:“Personally, I have never felt pressured. On the contrary, I feel very lucky and proud of what my mother has contributed to art and brought laughter to the audience.

This is not only a source of pride but also a source of motivation for me every time I have the opportunity to appear on screen."
