The new 'handsome guy' of the movie Quynh Doll: From being 'stoned' to receiving a series of flirting rumors

Received a series of abusive and threatening messages

Playing the role of the son of the owner of Thien Thai, through 11 episodes, Trong Lan proved to be a crazy, arrogant, and reckless character that made many viewers 'itchy'. Together with My 'wolf', Phong created the most hated character in the film. Trong Lan said he read a lot of sensational, sensitive comments that the audience had for his character but was only happy because the role was well received by the audience.

Continuously appearing in recent hit films such as "The Judge", "A Lifetime of Enmity" and most recently "Quynh Doll", despite playing hateful supporting roles, Trong Lan gradually won the audience's sympathy. "When I was invited to play the role of Phong Can in "Quynh Doll", I was very happy because I had only graduated for a few years but had continuously received roles in big films. But when I approached the script, I felt worried and there were times when I really wanted to withdraw."

When the film aired, the character Phong, although not appearing much, was always "stoned" by the audience because of his "hateful face" with many negative comments on the film's fanpage. Trong Lan said he read the audience's comments about the film.

"In the first episodes, people didn't like my character, they even hated it, which made me think. But then I thought that the audience's interest meant that I had somewhat fulfilled my role. I had read the audience's comments on the show's fanpage before. There were comments that cursed the character very badly, and there were even threatening messages. I am also collecting those comments from the audience to make a separate album to commemorate it. Even though I was scolded and cursed, I still feel happy because the audience accepted my role," the actor shared.

Just like Phuong Oanh Oanh (the actress who plays Quynh 'the doll'), Trong Lan shared that his grandmother did not like this role of her grandson. "She called my father from Ho Chi Minh City. She did not criticize my acting but only liked me to play kind and gentle roles." However, the encouragement from friends and audiences, especially the short comment: "Good job, keep it up!" from People's Artist Hoang Dung was enough to motivate the 9X actor.

Received a series of flirting messages overnight

However, after episode 12 aired on the evening of September 18, Phong's masculine image, wholeheartedly protecting women, made many female viewers fall in love. From a hated character, Phong is now dubbed the new "handsome guy" of "Quynh Doll".

Trong Lan shared: "I feel the audience's affection for Phong after episode 12 because they understand a little about his personality. From episode 12 to the following episodes, there will be many interesting things, one could say terrible because the emotional developments of Phong, Quynh and Canh are very complicated."

He also said that, as an audience member, he really wanted Phong to marry Quynh because: "No matter how arrogant and reckless he is, when a man stands in front of the woman he loves, he will accept everything to protect that woman to the end. That is also the image I built for the character."

Trong Lan also admitted that he was moved when acting with Phuong Oanh because Quynh in real life is a very beautiful and professional actress. "I really enjoyed acting with Oanh because when looking into each other's eyes, I saw that I was Phong, wanting to change for the people I love and protect them. But that was only when I was working, I let myself immerse myself in the character's emotions. In real life, Phuong Oanh and I are true sisters. I really love and respect Phuong Oanh," he said.

Although he has many female fans, Trong Lan said he is still single and wants to think about love when his career is stable. The actor shared that after episode 12 aired, he received so many "flirting" messages from female fans that he couldn't read them all. "Currently, I receive so many messages from the audience saying they love Phong that I can't reply in time. I'm very happy that people are starting to love my character and understand his true personality."

The actor confided that after "Quynh Doll" aired, although he was not as "hot" as the main actors, he received invitations for advertising and photo shoots, and his salary also increased, making Trong Lan very happy. Playing the role of a rich son in the movie, but in real life, Trong Lan shared that his family is not well off. His parents are retired and had to work extra to support him through school, so now that he has earned money, Trong Lan wants to help his parents in some way.
