"Thien Thai Prince" is in crisis because he received many "flirting" messages

- What similarities do you find between yourself and the character Phong - "Prince Thien Thai" in "Quynh Doll"?

- Phong and I are only similar in age and desire to break out to express ourselves, but our personalities are completely different. A friend from primary school once asked me: "I've been friends with you for more than 20 years, why have I never seen you have any personality or demeanor like in the movies?". Everyone at home also said that I "have a gentle face but always play bad roles". I may have the body and face to play the role of a young master, but my personality is not similar at all.

I sometimes feel disgusted with my character. There are times when I dare not watch.Quynh dollbecause I feel like I'm too ugly in the movie and don't want to approach that ugliness. When talking to friends, I still occasionally exclaim: "Why is this guy so unruly?"

- Besides the horror, how do you sympathize with your character?

- Phong is a sick, arrogant character never seen on television. I sympathize with Phong's loneliness because in real life, my parents also live far apart. My mother moved to Saigon a long time ago. Many times I miss my mother very much but don't know how to express my feelings. I'm not the type of person who can say "Mom, I love you so much!".

When reading the script, I understood that Phong's personality was not only arrogant and reckless. He was a bit pitiful, lonely and always wanted to prove his huge ego. However, the more he showed himself, the more weaknesses he revealed. In the episodes that were shown, Phong had clear changes through each stage. Before he escaped for drug trafficking, Phong was impulsive, arrogant, and reckless, but when he returned, he became more scheming, calculating and less hyperactive.

- Taking on a villain role, how do you think the audience will receive you before the film airs?

-I was mentally prepared for the hatred I would receive. I even did some ideological work for my parents so that they would not be shocked by the image of their son and the negative reactions that the audience might have towards me when I appeared.Quynh dollon air. However, things did not go as one-sided as I thought. The audience's attitude towards Phong changed so quickly that on social networks, people said that Phong's fansQuynh dollturn face as fast as ex-lover (laugh).

If in the first episodes, Phong was hated for his arrogance and perversion, from episode 12, he was loved for his good treatment of Quynh (Phuong Oanh). Many viewers even wished Quynh would come to Phong. In episode 12, Phong used all his strength to protect the girl he loved. Perhaps that touched the sisters' emotions, so everyone was amused.

- How do fans express their love for you?

- I have a huge fan base now. Honestly, I'm very surprised to have so many fans. Recently, I was almost in a "crisis" because of messages from the audience and friends about my role. Many female friends continuously texted me to ask questions and "flirt" with me. Yesterday, I received a message from a female fan with the content: "What kind of girl will keep you and make you change?" or "Please let me go to Thien Thai, I want to be the daughter-in-law of Mr. Can"... There are many cute female friends who don't dare to text me but share their admiration on their personal pages.

- What does your girlfriend think when you get "flirted" with by so many female fans?

- Currently, I am a happy single man (laughs).

- Which audience reaction did you find most interesting?

- Thanks to this film, many people recognized me and asked to take pictures with me when I went out. There was a funny memory when I went to have breakfast at the beginning of the alley, I found it very strange that my bowl of noodles that day was full, with more elephant ear and meat than usual. I asked the saleswoman why she suddenly gave me so much, she just smiled and said "eat it, child". It turned out that it was because she saw me acting.Quynh dollso I gave more. Every time the neighbors saw me, they smiled brightly. When I went out, the girls often grabbed my hand and said: "That's you, my child. Why are you so evil in the movies but so kind in real life?" I feel very happy because so many people know and love me.

- What did your family say about this role?

- My grandmother is almost 90 years old this year. Ever since I started studying acting, she always said she didn't know if she would live to see me on TV. I was very happy to have made her wish come true. However, after watching the movie, she got angry and called my father, saying, "I don't like you letting Lan play such bad roles. When you act in a movie, you have to play a good person." After a while, she accepted that it was just a movie.

The happiest thing for me is that I made my parents proud of me. My parents are not on good terms. My mother has been living in Saigon with my two sisters for 5 years now. However, thanks to my participation in this film, they have started talking to each other again. Before the film starts, my father often calls my mother to ask if she has watched the film. After the film ends, they also call each other to discuss the content and my acting ability. That makes me feel that they are no longer distant. Every time I come home, I see my father happier. I hope that after this film, everything will return to normal as if nothing happened.

- What did you think when taking on a tough role like Phong?

- After receiving the script, I just tried to do my best and didn't think that this role would turn my career into a new page. I couldn't imagine that the film would be such a big hit. With the success of Phong's role, I knew I couldn't easily and arbitrarily choose my next roles.

- In the script, Phong is described as a drug addict who often uses stimulants. In reality, people like that are often a bit crazy and crazy. I used to work at a bar and met a lot of people, so I had the opportunity to observe and learn to accumulate for my acting career. Among my friends, there are also people who work in this profession, so I understand them very well.

When playing the role of Phong, I intentionally added a few details to make the character more lovable, for example, when he couldn't get money, he ran out to kiss his dad.

- Many people find it a bit unreasonable that Phong has deep feelings for Quynh after only a few meetings. What do you think about that?

- Phong is an unusual person, so his way of loving is also very unusual. He fell in love with Quynh from the first time he met her and loved her like a moth to a flame, regardless of everything to protect that woman. However, when he is betrayed, he will change 180 degrees.

- During the time working together, what about Phuong Oanh left you with the biggest impression?

- Ms. Oanh is not only beautiful but also very professional. When filming the scene where Quynh and Phong were tortured by Vu's henchmen in the warehouse, she and I had to tie our hands up in the air for 2 hours. After finishing the scene, both of us were exhausted. My hands were numb and Ms. Oanh could not stand up. However, she did not complain at all. At that time, I secretly admired her for her endurance and great sacrifices for the role.

During the time I worked with Phuong Oanh, I had a lot of feelings for her. It wasn’t a romantic feeling, but it made me more and more absorbed in the acting, and I didn’t feel awkward when we looked into each other’s eyes. Thanks to that, I could easily complete the scenes with Phuong Oanh.
