Thanh Son reveals the biggest challenge when playing the role of Captain Vu in 'Brain Battle'

Sharing in the program “VTV Connection”, Thanh Son said that what attracted him most about the role of Captain Vu was that it was a difficult role and gave him a sense of challenge. Thanh Son thought that after this role, he would gain more experience in his career.

What Thanh Son worries about most when playing a police officer is the stereotype, framing and stiffness. Up to now, when filming scenes, especially those in the meeting room, the actor still has to think and fight with his wits. Thanh Son shared that the problem is not only learning the lines but how to say them in the most natural way. Thanh Son confided that he has to try to create a comfortable and natural atmosphere when playing the role.

Thanh Son said he was very confident in his ability to learn dialogue until this movie “Brain Battle”. It was a real challenge because the technical terms are rarely used in everyday life. Therefore, to remember those words in your head, to be able to use them and to speak naturally and comfortably was quite difficult. After a while of getting used to it, the awkwardness was gone and sometimes Thanh Son could even edit his own dialogue instead of depending on the script.

Sharing in the program, Thanh Son said that the most impressive scene for him was the scene of retrieving a box of phones from the stream. Initially, Thanh Son thought that playing the role of an economic police officer would only involve sitting at a desk or in meetings. However, in reality, there was a scene where Thanh Son had to roll around in the middle of the stream to find evidence. The stream only reached his knees, but the actor had to act as if it was up to his neck. “For the first time, Son had to take on a challenge both physically and in acting. I had to compose and act in the stream myself, and that was a memorable experience,” Thanh Son said.

According to Thanh Son, the really challenging scenes for him in the film are the interrogation scenes. “These are scenes with many close-ups, exploiting many gestures, expressions, and attitudes, even the smallest ones, on the face. That’s why I need to prepare very carefully for how to act with my eyes so that it is not monotonous and always diverse in acting. With each object, each different character, I will have different responses and attitudes. With “Brain Battle”, Son had to practice a lot in front of the mirror” - Thanh Son confided.

According to actor Thanh Son, the series “Brain Fight” has aired more than 20 episodes and one case has been closed. However, there will be many more cases, promising to be more dramatic and exciting.
