Young actor Nguyen Minh Duc

Interested in the role of gangster

- Continuing with a role in the long-running TV series - "The Devil's Money". Can Duc share a little about this role?

- From the films that Duc participated in before, the producer called and invited Duc to play this role. They needed a face that was gentle on the outside but cruel on the inside. And when he auditioned, Duc showed them that he had the ability so he was chosen.

In this film, Duc plays Heng, a gangster with a cruel fate when life puts him in a deadlock, his business fails and he runs away from debt, his wife leaves him for another man. After being taken in by the boss Chum Nop and becoming his close disciple, Heng learns martial arts, knife throwing, card playing... and becomes a famous gangster in the Cambodian casino world.

- Heng is completely different from his previous roles, and even more different from Duc's gentle, scholarly appearance. Surely this is not a small challenge for Duc?

- Heng is a completely different type of role from the previous roles Duc has played: scholarly, educated, gentle, obedient... However, the character Heng makes Duc very interested. Because he is a cold-blooded person, after the harshness of life, Heng changes his personality, talks less - acts more and has another point that he hates and resents women. It is a challenge but also an opportunity for Duc to test himself.

-What memory do you remember most about participating in the movie "The Haunted Money"?

- A lot of memories, because this is a film that brings together many actors and many different characters. So the whole crew always tries their best in difficult scenes such as fighting, chasing, burning houses, and especially there are scenes that are filmed at night until 2-3am. In addition, the film also has scenes filmed in Cambodia, which is very beautiful, mysterious and no less suspenseful.

- The film set had to move to many places, was this a difficulty for Duc?

- It was not only difficult for Duc but also for the crew members. Filming in Cambodia meant there were beautiful scenes but there was no permission, and the roads were difficult as the crew constantly moved to keep up with the schedule. On the other hand, because the food there did not suit them, the crew always had Vietnamese instant noodles available whenever needed. However, the crew was not discouraged by those difficulties, all for the sake of a film dedicated to the audience, so they disregarded it to complete it.

“I am in love with a Khmer girl”

- Currently, there are many young actors who have not attended any school but quickly become famous after a certain movie. How meaningful is the knowledge and experience learned at school to Duc at this time?

- Suddenly famous? According to Duc, everything has its price, you just step into showbiz and you will see it clearly. Currently, Duc feels somewhat satisfied with what he has done as well as the films he has participated in. Because Duc has applied all the knowledge he learned from school to each character. Duc dares to boldly say that: Duc walks on this thorny artistic path by himself.

- With his bright, scholarly appearance, what opportunities did he bring to become an actor?

- Appearance is an advantage but to be an actor, you need talent. Duc always tries to improve himself day by day, so that every opportunity that comes his way will not slip away.

With his handsome, scholarly appearance, Minh Duc has certain advantages when on screen.

- And in love, how many girls have been "captured" by Duc's handsome looks?

- Duc thinks quite a lot! (Laughs loudly). Currently, Duc is "in love" with a Khmer girl. Duc will only reveal a little bit, the rest will be clear later!

- People say love in showbiz is not lasting. What do you think about this?

- Duc doesn't think so, because each person has a different personality and life. There are couples who love each other and get married very happily, but there are also the opposite cases. It all comes down to one word: FATE.

- Thank you Minh Duc for this conversation.
