The movieWar Without BordersThere are many training and fighting scenes with special forces soldiers. Therefore, we actors have to spend 2-3 weeks training with them. After that, we can get in sync with the soldiers' physical strength to perform the scenes in the film well.
I remember that during the filming of the 170th Brigade, there was a scene of a military exercise with the brothers. Due to bad weather conditions that day, while doing physical exercises, I fell and broke 2 bones in my arm. At that time, the entire film crew, the leaders, and the soldiers here cared for me, looked after me, and supported me in every way possible. Fortunately, I recovered well and was able to complete the film with the whole crew.

During the days of filming with the soldiers, we lived, slept, and talked with everyone so we had more experiences like real soldiers, from there we played the role better.

With the young actors, we easily communicated with each other to have the most compatible scenes.
Feeling like dad is always there
- Trieu Duong is both a young actor and the son of a famous People's Artist. Do you feel pressured when acting in VTV prime time dramas?
People know me not only as a young actor but also as the son of Dung's father. But I really don't feel pressured and feel comfortable when playing my role.
I see myself as having many advantages. I get to interact regularly with seniors in the profession, share more about the profession, and receive a lot of attention and support from everyone. I am very happy to receive that affection from everyone.
Being accepted for a role in a VTV primetime drama is a blessing and an honor for every new actor like me. I also think that being accepted to participate in a drama when I haven’t shown much is also a favor that everyone gives me.
- It's been more than 2 years since you've been away from your dad. What do you do when you miss him?
More than 2 years away from my dad, but sometimes when I mention him, my eyes sting. Maybe sometimes it's because I miss him so much, sometimes it's also because I feel like he's always there, he just can't talk to me.
“When you act, you have to love it. If you don’t do well or give your all, you’re wasting it.” That is my father’s teaching that I still take as a guiding principle to try and make efforts in my career.
- People's Artist Hoang Dung is considered a monument of Vietnamese television dramas. Although you are not pressured by your father's reputation, do you wish to become a "small monument" in the hearts of your fans?
When my father was already a monument in everyone's heart, I thought I didn't need to try to surpass him. In my mind, a monument or a small actor is still the most important impression in the audience's heart.
- Trieu Duong has played the role of a police officer or navy soldier a few times. Do you plan to continue playing such roles?
Of course, I will not nail myself to roles like police or soldiers because I am a young actor so I do not have many opportunities to express myself. But in the near future, when there are new opportunities and roles, I will try my best to bring a different image to the audience.
