Thai Son as Tu, the comedian of "Under the tree of happiness". |
- Although it was only a supporting role in "Under the Tree of Happiness", the audience loved Thai Son's character Tu, even more than the main role. You must be very happy?
Filming is a regular job, so I was very natural when playing the role of Tu. Therefore, the audience's reception surprised me. Before that, I also always liked the type of character like Tu, so when the crew called, I agreed immediately. Tu is a special character, but I didn't think the audience would accept it and it was really unpredictable.

- The role of Tu in the film exploits many familiar acting traits of Thai Son, specifically the "cheo" singing scenes, which are his strength, are performed very "sweetly"?
The role allows me to show my strengths and talents. I rarely play roles like Tu, so when I play a role, I focus on observing and studying the script carefully so that the role is not exaggerated but realistic like the sharp characters I have met. The most important thing is to act convincingly without being too painful.
- Having met Thai Son in real life and watched many of his productions, I find the role of Tu very different. Did you have to change many details in the script when acting or did you enjoy watching your excerpts in "Under the shade of the happy tree"?
Because I remembered every scene and even the lines while acting, so when I watched the movie again, I wasn't too surprised. I just didn't expect the role of Tu to be so loved by the audience. This result was really beyond my expectations.
Actually, in the film there are many scenes that are not in the script or the script only has the backbone, but when we go to the scene, the director and I discuss to develop it.

- Most of the excerpts with Tu made the audience laugh heartily. I wonder if on set, when Thai Son transformed into Tu, did the crew or co-stars enjoy it?
I'm so happy because every time I act, the film crewUnder the tree of happinesslike the live audience. Many of my scenes made them laugh out loud, I also felt elated because it showed that I had completed my role well. Many actors who hadn't even had their scenes yet came out to watch me act, laughed, and encouraged me, so I was very happy.
- Do many people call you Tu instead of your real name when you go out?
Yes, people joke that:Sister Tu, can I take a photo with you?goodTake a photo with Ms. Tu (laugh).
- Many people feel that Tu is a character with many feminine qualities, so is this really a gay role?
When I acted, I didn't have that in mind. Tu really liked To and had a sharp look. But if To didn't respond, Tu could still get married. Therefore, when I acted, I just made Tu really mean and hard to approach, but when he opened up, he was warm. Many people in real life with a personality like Tu that I've met, when I first met them, felt hard to approach, but when we became friends, they were extremely talented and warm.

Tu's situation and story will continue in the upcoming episodes, there are still many fun parts. However, I will keep the ending of Tu's character a secret for the audience to wait and see.
