Ly Nha Ky continues to "splurge" on superstar Marion Cotillard to star in her film.
Having recently collaborated with producer Charles Gillibert to co-produce Olivier Assayas' film E-Book, Ly Nha Ky is now investing in a second project titled Angel's Face, starring Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard.
Determined to conquer the world of cinema, Ly Nha Ky has continuously invested in French films. Through these projects, she hopes to elevate the status of Vietnamese artists and give fans hope, knowing that a Vietnamese film producer has assembled a team of veteran actors and world-renowned stars, especially those who have won Oscars – the most prestigious award in the world.
This also dispels the 'suspicion' that Ly Nha Ky was merely a "decorative figure" on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in previous years, as through these appearances she has built international diplomatic relationships that have enabled her to secure important film projects.

With the film projectAngel's FaceIn collaboration with director Vanessa Filho, Ly Nha Ky will be working with Moana Films and Windy Production. Vanessa Filho is a renowned director known for the horror films French Blood (2015) and Mobile Home (2017). The lead female role in Angel's Face is played by Marion Cotillard, alongside actors Alban Lenoir, Lubna Azabal, and others, with the film primarily set in southern France.If Moana Films or Windy Production are big names in French cinema, then Marion Cotillard is the most expensive French star of the 21st century. Born in 1975, she became the highest-paid French film star of the century.
She participated in many prominent film projects right from the moment she arrived in Hollywood. After a noteworthy supporting role in Tim Burton's Big Fish (2003), the beauty had a breakthrough with a supporting role in A Very Long Engagement (2004). 2007 was a brilliant year for the 32-year-old star with her role in the biographical film La Vie en Rose. Transforming into the famous singer Édith Piaf, Cotillard won numerous awards, from BAFTA and César awards to the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actress.
The 42-year-old star became the first actress to win both a César Award and an Oscar for the same role. Marion Cotillard is also the third French star to win an Academy Award, following Simone Signoret in 1960 and Juliette Binoche in 1997.
Marion Cotillard, a former Oscar winner, became the highest-paid French actress of the 21st century.
Ly Nha Ky stated: "I enjoy working and operating in an international environment because the more intense the competition to secure a position, the more resilient and mature you become, which in turn helps you gain a broader and more far-sighted perspective."
The filmAngel's FaceFilming is 80% complete, and in a few days it will be finished and move into the post-production phase.
Not long before that, Ly Nha Ky participated in a film project calledE-bookDirected by Olivier Assayas and co-produced by Charles Gillibert, the film stars Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Juliette Binoche.
With meticulous preparation and a massive investment, audiences are hoping that Ly Nha Ky's two films, E-book and Angel's Face, will appear and make a splash at international film festivals in 2018.
