I never think that my movie has to be successful, win in revenue or anything. Not to say it in vain, but really, I always feel guilty for not being able to thank all the fans who have supported me over the years. When I finished building the ancestral temple, I was very tired but still tried to appear, greet and take pictures with the audience. Because it is the fans who gave me everything and raised me to this day," said Hoai Linh.
