Ha Viet Dung reveals about Thu Quynh, ready to reunite with Phuong Oanh

- Is playing a villain or a protagonist suitable for Ha Viet Dung?

For me, the important thing is to be able to understand my character, from the dialogue, the development of my identity to the surrounding relationships. The same goes for villains, the actor needs to grasp the external factors and surrounding characters to create a villainous personality. I can do both villainous and positive roles, the important thing is to understand the character. When given the opportunity to play, I always try to express the right spirit and success of an actor.

- There are actors who specialize in villain roles but cannot play protagonist roles because the audience does not believe them. What do you think about this comment?

As I shared above, playing a positive or negative role, the important thing is the understanding and emotions of the actor. I want to aim for a flexible actor, not confined to a role model. If the actor always tries to explore and be creative, it will not be difficult to succeed.

- What is interesting about playing the villain in "War without Borders"? What do you say about reuniting with co-star Thu Quynh in this film?

First, I had the opportunity to work with director Nguyen Danh Dung. Before that, I had heard of and admired the director for a long time but had not had the opportunity to participate in any film.

InWar without borders,I got to act and work with director Danh Dung and many veteran artists such as Meritorious Artist Hoang Hai, actors Viet Anh, Viet Bac, Thai Son and many other young actors. For me, that was a great fortune.

As for director Danh Dung, he always lets the actors freely think about their roles, without being constrained, bringing the right elements of life into the film. This is also a way to help us sublimate our emotions when transforming into the characters.

In the movieJourney of Justice, Thu Quynh and I played husband and wife, and this reunion is very interesting because we are on two completely different extremes. In the previous film, I played the role of a wonderful husband both at work and in everyday life. Of course, both husband and wife had their own quiet moments due to not having children for many years, but in the end, they had a happy ending. In this film, the character Doan meets nurse Phuong (Thu Quynh) in an aggressive and preemptive manner. True to the spirit that I shared happily: "The previous film was emotional, this film was depressing."

Thu Quynh acted very well, no doubt. From the character's perspective, both of us tried our best. Whether we were successful or not is for the audience to feel.

- VTV Universe has witnessed many special and very successful reunions of many actor couples. What do you think about reuniting Phuong Oanh in a new film after "Against the Tear" and "Fate Choice"?

After many collaborations, Phuong Oanh and I have learned how to juggle and combine in many difficult, psychological scenes. If I have the chance to work with her again, I am always willing.

- How is your wife a strong support system that allows you to confidently act with beautiful actresses?

There were times when I was working far away, I thought the hardest person was not me but my wife. I remember the day we got married, I was away for a whole year. Nhung (name of DV Ha Viet Dung's wife - PV) was pregnant but she did not complain, did not blame me but always encouraged me to try my best to complete the job well. I always feel grateful to my wife.

My wife is a hard-working and active person in the business with her grandmother such as homestay, costume rental. In addition, for jobs such as my advertising photography, Nhung is also an assistant, consultant and stylist. Nhung also goes to the filming with me to understand more about her husband's work. Up to now, our daughter is 4 years old. Nhung takes care of the child and the housework at home so that I can feel secure when I go to work.

-The noise about the personal lives of artists always makes fans curious. Did the noise about your previous private life make your wife worried?

Private matters, not just of artists, make the public curious. My personal matter was 5 years ago and I don't want to talk about it again.

After 5 years together, my wife and I have understood and loved each other more, and know how to care for and nurture family happiness. We know how to live well and grow together. We have found common ground because being together is not a matter of a day or two, but a lifetime. Therefore, we must never make mistakes so that our family can have the most fulfilling life.

- Being a model and now an actor, do you ever miss the catwalk and wish to return?

I miss the catwalk, I really miss it. Modeling was the first step for Ha Viet Dung to get into acting. However, at my age, it might be difficult for me to return to the catwalk. But if I have the chance, I will definitely do it with all my passion.
