Yen Chi's performance - as Queen Nam Phuong in the movie "Royal Candle".
While preparing for her Master of Arts thesis in Theater in Hanoi, actress Yen Chi was offered the role of Queen Nam Phuong in the film "Royal Candle". Nam Phuong was not only the last queen of Vietnam but also considered a symbol of beauty at that time. When she accepted this role, Yen Chi felt a lot of pressure.
The actress confided to the media: "I was haunted for more than a year during the filming. The first thought when I woke up and the last thought before falling into a tired sleep of a day was 'How was she (Nam Phuong) at that time? Have I portrayed her psychology?'.
After the film was released, Yen Chi's performance was highly appreciated by experts and audiences. Up to now, Yen Chi is still considered the actress who most successfully portrayed the character of Queen Nam Phuong on film.Yen Chi became famous for her role as Thi Mich in the film "Storm" (1991) - a work adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Vu Trong Phung. To play the role of a simple peasant girl of the 1930s, Yen Chi - a girl born and raised in Hanoi, in a well-off family, had to learn a lot. She successfully portrayed the character's complex psychological changes, from a simple, rustic girl to a stubborn, defiant, brazen woman, but somewhere still retaining the innocence and purity of the past.Yen Chi has not acted in many films, but her roles have left an impression on the audience. When she was a first-year student at the University of Theatre and Cinema, she received a supporting role in the film "Day Ve". Other films she participated in include "Nhung duong phu sa"; "Toi va doi"... Most of her time is spent on research and teaching. Yen Chi is a lecturer at the University of Theatre and Cinema, Ho Chi Minh City.She is an Associate Professor and Doctor of Arts, and was once promoted to Head of the School's Acting Department.During her childhood, Yen Chi cherished the plan to take the entrance exam to the University of Science and Technology because she was a math major at Nguyen Gia Thieu High School (Hanoi). Following her father's advice, she took the entrance exam to the Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema and because of this change, her mother was angry for a while.
