The "bloodshed" behind the gorgeous appearance

In contrast to the luxurious image in the project's promotional photos and at the "Beauty Universe" announcement event, the female leads will have many scenes that are both physically and mentally heavy. This is shown through two first looks - independent clips from the complete film but set the tone for the entire work.

When filming the first look for the seriesThe Four BeautiesIn mid-2019, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc and Diem My 9x worked continuously from 6pm the night before to 4am the next morning, exchanging long lines, acting out scenes of pointing guns, threatening, and struggling on the rooftop.

Go to first look of the movieGirl from the past(made at the end of 2021), Lan Ngoc and Kaity Nguyen were dressed up as bruised, muddy, bloody, and wounded. Lan Ngoc enjoyed the thrilling, suspenseful tone of the film. She and Kaity were both mentally and physically prepared for the grueling filming journey, instead of the glamorous ones like in the previous films.Old girls have many tricks.

Sexy and daring experience

Feminine stories, sexy images and boldness in the aspect of love and sex are the characteristics in the products of directors Bao Nhan - Nam Cito. With "The Universe of Beauties", these elements continue to be embedded through the luxurious and sexy images of five beauties in the series of photos introducing the project.

This image is no longer strange to four out of five people, only Phuong Anh Dao brings a different feeling because whether in real life or in previous films, she leaves her mark with a simple, discreet and strong style. Phuong Anh Dao talks about her innovation: "Each girl in 'The Universe of Beauties' is a color, promising to create unique effects. In terms of sexiness, I certainly cannot be equal to my sisters. But I will be able to explore maturity and thorniness".

Since her first days in the arts, Phuong Anh Dao has always pursued a multi-colored image, living many lives on screen. She feels that she is now mature enough to move to a new image milestone. In real life, she likes to live a simple life, so when filming, she wants to step out of her comfort zone. Especially after a year of everything slowing down due to the pandemic, she wants to return to work with interesting experiences.

Although older than Jun Vu and Kaity Nguyen, Phuong Anh Dao considers herself the "youngest" in the "Beauty Universe" cast because she is the only one who collaborates with Bao Nhan - Nam Cito for the first time. She appreciates the opportunity to work with two prestigious directors and hopes to learn a lot of experience from People's Artist Le Khanh and her co-stars.

Script writing by actors

Instead of choosing actors based on their roles, directors Bao Nhan and Nam Cito first looked for actors who met the beauty and talent criteria of "Beauty Universe" and then built character portraits based on the aspects they wanted to explore in the actors. The two directors saw in the five 9x beauties a spirit of learning and dedication to their roles. That is the reason why they were chosen.

Director Bao Nhan said the biggest difficulty for the crew is balancing the working schedules of the five female stars. According to the plan, they will accompany 'Vu Co My Nhan' for 5 years. Many other Vbiz beauties will be added in later stages.

By translation, movieGirl from the pastFilming was postponed from August last year until after Lunar New Year 2022. Following that, the filmThe Four BeautiesThe first two seasons were shot. The following seasons were shot sporadically, with scripts adjusted based on audience feedback. The directors hope to overcome the series' shortcomings.Old girl has many tricksin this project.

The film project "The Universe of Beauties" is expected to begin showing in theaters or on online film platforms from this year.
