The film crew said that artist Nguyen Chanh Tin beat the DOP in front of many actors in the crew. |
At the end of December 2014, the film CKC - Commando Hunter held a massive casting in Ho Chi Minh City to find suitable faces. After that, the crew also had a premiere in front of a large number of reporters to announce Nguyen Chanh Tin as the director and actor in the film. On the day of the premiere, in addition to the actors, the crew also introduced the characters participating in the crew who were "real commandos".
However, after about 10 days of filming, Nguyen Chanh Tin suddenly withdrew from the movie CKC – Commando Hunter. The reason given was that the production investor could not meet his requirements for props to increase the effectiveness of the movie, such as using real guns and bullets to depict the shooting scenes between enemy commandos and our anti-commando group in Truong Son according to the script. He did not participate in any other role in the movie because the film crew was currently using wooden prop guns.
Contacting the film crew while the crew was filming in Madagui, Mr. Nguyen Minh Chi - production director, representative of the film CKC - Commando Hunter said the problem was because artist Nguyen Chanh Tin could not meet the investor's request to speed up the progress according to plan. It is not accurate to say that the film crew used wooden guns. "Mr. Tin was the one who chose the guns for filming, besides, the production team only used prop guns for post-production 3D effects."
Mr. Chi also added that Nguyen Chanh Tin assaulted the film's director of photography because he gave professional advice on modern 4K filming equipment that Nguyen Chanh Tin had first encountered. "Because of his huge ego, Nguyen Chanh Tin acted without thinking, hitting the DOP director and smashing a cup on him."
The film crew representative shared that the crew has not yet received any official notice from Nguyen Chanh Tin other than his "disappearance" from the film crew while everyone was excitedly on set, even though the signed contract between him and the investor was complete. "That shows the lack of professionalism of a director" - this representative concluded.
To ensure that the film crew and actors are not affected, the crew of CKC - Commando Hunter has appointed a new director to temporarily replace Nguyen Chanh Tin. However, the name of this director has not been revealed. "Up to this point, the progress of the film crew is still going very well, the actors and crew are almost not affected much by the departure of Nguyen Chanh Tin. It is very normal for a director to participate in or refuse a film."
CKC – Commando Hunter is a film set in the mountainous region of the Southeast, recreating a real war during the 30-year resistance war against the US to save the country of our army and people. It is a "commando-versus-commando" war that provides a new perspective, especially next to the fierce battles that have happened in history. The film was made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the country's complete unification, and is expected to be released in April.
