I soaked in the water until 3 am before returning. The first few days, I went ashore to eat, but a few days later, I decided to stay underwater and eat because it was so cold. Because I didn't want people to worry about me when I got ashore,” she said.
Viet Huong added that to get into character, she decided to “no longer be herself”. The female artist hopes to be able to do well the role of a corpse collector, bringing authenticity to the audience when watching the film. “It is the enthusiasm of the people in Ca Mau who taught and guided me step by step so that I can do my best in the role. That is what touched Huong the most and I can never forget”, Hoai Phuong’s wife expressed.

"Like the recent children's play, everything I said was invested. Up to now, everything I do is because I want to repay the profession. The film crew pays a lot of money but when I go to Ca Mau, I just leave it there," the female artist confided.
Remembering the filming sessionsMa Da,Viet Huong affirmed that it was a special journey. She emphasized: “For an artist to have such a role, it must be said that it is a lifetime one. I learned a lot of life skills, to be honest, now driving a boat is so profitable that I can almost compete with the people of Ca Mau. This is the type of role that I think most artists want to experience if they are passionate about the profession. Thanh Loc once told me: "This role is hard but enjoyable". I myself also want to do it and give it my all."
