Surprised by the image of 'farmer' of Luong Manh Hai

In the movie "When I'm Home" by Vu Ngoc Dang, the actor challenges himself with a difficult role.

The new work of the duo Vu Ngoc Dang - Luong Manh Hai is about a father and son in a peaceful countryside. The father loves his son very much but has a bad habit of gambling. An incident occurs that causes the father and son to flee to the city and lose each other. Amidst the difficulties in a big city they have never set foot in, both must rely on the kindness of friends and strangers to find each other.

Luong Manh Hai made the audience unrecognizable when he transformed into the role of a dark-skinned and gambling farmer father in the new movie.

Sharing about the film When I'm Home, director Vu Ngoc Dang said that he made a film about family and fatherhood because this is a topic that never gets old, has many aspects to exploit and easily touches the emotions of many people. "This is my simplest film in terms of story and storytelling. Through the story of father and son, I just want to send a very simple message that I always remember: Having a place to return to, that is home. Having people to love, that is family. Having both, that is happiness," he said.

In Vu Ngoc Dang's project, Luong Manh Hai not only participated in writing the script and producing, but also took on the male lead role, a farmer father. Talking about the decision to challenge himself with a different role, Luong Manh Hai excitedly said: "This is the role where I am the most "different from myself". But the significant change here is not that I changed from "white" to "black", but that it was the first time I got to... be a father on film. Although in fact this father is very "crazy" and "crazy". Instead of teaching his children, he is taught by his children, like, "Dad is naughty, son teaches". Being a farmer and a father is an experience that is both surprising and interesting beyond my imagination".

The actor confided that he had a memorable experience while playing the role.

When You Are Home is also Vu Ngoc Dang's first film to have a child actor as the main character throughout the work. During the casting process, Vu Ngoc Dang did not know whether he would choose a boy or a girl to play Luong Manh Hai's child. In the end, he chose Duy Anh after being introduced by Director of Photography Tran Dang Thai. When rehearsing a few heavy psychological scenes, Duy Anh completely won Vu Ngoc Dang over. He said: "At that time, I just knew that this boy had acted in many films, so his professionalism was much higher than the other candidates. When he went to the filming set, Duy Anh showed that even more clearly. The whole crew did not feel like they were working with a child. Duy Anh grasped the psychology and memorized the lines quickly, did not complain about being tired or exhausted, and had a lot of energy. I hope that this smart and lovely boy will make an impression when the audience watches the film."

In addition to Luong Manh Hai and Duy Anh, the film also features La Quoc Hung, Tu Vi, Ngoc Nga… The film crew is rushing to complete post-production and is expected to be released nationwide on December 28.
