The female lead of 'Thuong Ngay Nang Ve' opens up about her role and life as a single mother

"I am happy to be able to play the role of Van Trang"

The movie "Love the Sunny Days" is entering a turning point in the life of the character Van Trang. How does Minh Huyen react to the audience's compliments and criticisms?

- Huyen is very happy to play the role of Van Trang, to test her acting ability. Honestly, the role is quite emotional, at first I also needed time to get into the rhythm of the character.

Until now, I am touched by the audience's reception. The things I did not do well, the audience still reminded me in a loving, gentle way. This helped me not to feel pressured before the final scenes.

Minh Huyen has many emotional memories when playing the adopted daughter of Meritorious Artist Thanh Quy.

What can Minh Huyen reveal about the ending of the character Van Trang?

- The script for the final episode has just been finalized, but I cannot reveal anything yet. I hope the audience will continue to watch and wait for the upcoming developments of the film.

Many audiences have compared the chemistry of the couples in the movie. How does Huyen feel when her character is put on the scale?

- I haven't read those things, but I think it's normal to make comparisons. Once you become a public figure, the audience has the right to do so. The audience only mentions you when they care.

Some people think that movies are shown in entertainment time slots but overuse tears, making the audience tired. What do you think?

- The climax and tearful moments mostly happened to the character Khanh. Perhaps the screenwriter had his own purpose, pushing Van Khanh's pain and suffering to the climax and then resolving each knot.

As an actor, our job is to do our best with what's in the script.

In the movie, which scene impressed Minh Huyen the most?

- The most emotional and climaxing scene for Huyen was with Nga's mother and Nhung's mother. The mothers' professional acting helped Huyen push her emotions to a new level. Huyen liked the scene where Trang returned the bracelet to Nhung's mother, the scene where Trang cried in the rain with Duy covering her shirt. Especially the scene where Trang called out "mom" for the first time.

This was a very difficult scene, but I tried to focus on the emotions. The pressure was great, but the long conversation between the two mothers before was the catalyst to nurture my emotions. In the end, the scene went smoothly and very quickly.

After filming, Mrs. Quy still couldn't stop crying. She told me: "Oh, I love my Van Trang so much." The director also shed tears because of emotion.

What did Minh Huyen learn from the mothers in the movie?

- I learned from my mother Nga about love, care and concern for her children. Such a mother is so wonderful. As a young mother, sometimes my own experiences and feelings are not as profound as that. I want to give my children those precious things.

From the story of the two mothers in the film, I understand my mother’s feelings better. If I succeed, my mother will surely be very happy. When I was in trouble and lonely, how sad must she have been…

"I went to my ex-husband's parents' house to have dinner."

In the movie, Nga's mother said to Van Khanh: "So what if you get divorced, so what if you break up, so what if you don't have a husband. If life were easy, people wouldn't come to this world crying, my child. I've lived this long, so can you. Don't worry, I'm here." What about Huyen, when you decided to divorce, did your mother say anything?

- When I made a decision about my marriage, my parents did not interfere but respected me. They always trusted me.

Who will look after the children while you are busy filming?

- I often ask my grandparents to take care of Nem (Minh Huyen's son's nickname) while I go to film. Although my husband and I have broken up, my paternal family is still very good. My grandparents understand my job and take good care of my grandchild so that I can go to work with peace of mind.

When I go to the set, I FaceTime my child every day and text him to "date" him: "When I'm free, I'll take you out."

There are days when I can only visit my children, I still go to my grandparents' house to eat, play with Nem for an hour or two, then go back to work.

Baby Nem - Minh Huyen's son has an impressive fashion style.

How is Huyen's relationship with her ex-husband now?

- We maintain a friendship, focusing on sharing stories about Nem so that the child can feel the love of both father and mother.

Now looking back at the first period after the divorce, how does Huyen feel?

- That time may have been terrible, but looking back now, Huyen finds everything light. What will come will come. The incident made me become a more mature Phan Minh Huyen of today.

I am grateful to myself, grateful for my own efforts and hard work. I did not imagine that I could be this strong until everything happened. Only when I got through it, did I realize that my own capacity is limitless.

Does Nem watch the movies that Huyen acts in?

- My child watched the movies I acted in and said: "Why do you cry so much, Mom? When you cry, I miss you so much." Nem loves watching Vietnamese TV dramas, from "Storm" to "The Girl in Someone's House"...

When watching the scenes where mom acted with uncle Dinh Tu, did Huyen's son say anything?

- I don't know either because I've never asked my child about this. Actually, in the movie we don't have many intimate scenes.

"Being younger or older doesn't mean anything."

After the failure of her first marriage, does Minh Huyen still believe in family happiness?

- I have not lost faith in marriage and have never had negative thoughts. I am the type of person who likes family life. It's just that at this time, I don't think it's suitable.

Life is beautiful now, I just slowly feel and enjoy it, no rush.

I focus on taking care of my children and my career. And maybe have a boyfriend by my side to share the joy and success in life. But I can’t say what the next 5-10 years will bring.

Thanks to hard work at the gym and a scientific diet, the actress has an admirable figure.

Is Huyen's criteria for choosing a life partner now different from before?

- Maybe it will be different from before. In the past, I fell in love and got married without thinking too much. But now, thinking more maturely and deeply, I want to be with someone I can trust, without having to worry about safety or other problems around me.

It’s not that I had a broken marriage in the past that makes me think negatively now. I hope to find someone suitable to go on the next journey with me. If I can’t find someone, I’m not in a hurry, I’m happy with my current single mother life.

- Are you afraid of loving someone younger?

Being younger or older doesn’t matter, as long as that person is suitable, knows how to listen and understand me. My son must also be able to play with that person. If he is not suitable, I probably won’t go ahead.

Sitting in front of me now is a very optimistic Phan Minh Huyen?

- On days when I don't have to film, I wake up early, have breakfast, and go to the gym to make my body feel healthy and full of energy. Women, no matter what happens in life, keep yourself beautiful. Don't always be gloomy and depressed, your life will be worse.

Even when I have nothing, I am still optimistic and sow positive things into the universe. Even when I have to rent a house, I am still happy. I never thought my life was so deadlocked.

How long do you have to rent the house?

- I rented a house for more than a year. Then I bought a house. I see that God never takes everything away from anyone. But the important thing is to always try and make an effort. During the most difficult times, I sold clothes online.

I think that doing small jobs still brings its own value. I did that job for about 3 months and received film projects, advertising contracts...

She bought her own house thanks to hard work and diligence.

How did Huyen draw the future ahead?

- I want to let things happen naturally within the framework. I don't plan what my old age will be like, but always try to reap the sweet fruit.

I also do not set specific milestones, which year I must buy a car or buy a house. But there is one thing I have urged myself, that is to buy a house so that my children do not have to live in a rented house.

Luckily I got many projects, success came early, buying a house also came sooner.

When the movie is over, what do you want to do most?

- I will take a month or two off to rest and spend time with my child. My point of view is to compensate emotionally, not materially. I worked very hard to earn money, I want my child to understand that each person needs to try and make an effort. However, on that journey, I will not let my child be alone.
