Recently, runner-up Thuy Dung had her first leading role in the film Uoc Minh Cung Bay - directed by Phan Dang Di. This is a milestone marking the beauty's transition to the film industry.
Wish We Could Fly Together explores the lives of people in a slum, incorporating pressing social issues. Thuy Dung plays the female lead named Ngan, whose family marries her to a Taiwanese man in hopes of escaping poverty.

Sharing with the media, Thuy Dung said she had many memorable experiences while filming. After 3 weeks of the film airing, the beauty born in 1996 was touched by the attention of the audience.
Runner-up Thuy Dung is said to have surprised viewers with her complex inner character. Although she appears gentle and caring towards her younger siblings, Ngan actually wants everything to belong to her, even destroying the most important thing of the person she loves.
Thuy Dung shared more about the role: "Ngan cannot really live as she wishes but has to live in the guise of a good sister, a good daughter and a girl with a good image in the village.
Actually, this girl is very innocent. Ngan loves Hoang in the neighborhood and only wishes to have his love. Life keeps pushing Ngan into one story after another. The thing she desires the most is not available, so her personality completely changes.
The scene that impressed Thuy Dung in the movie was the scene where she had no makeup and was beaten up by a jealous woman.
"In the film, my arms and legs were always bruised. I was beaten in the countryside scene, and in the city scene, I was also beaten. I was very worried and under pressure. Luckily, I prepared well for the difficult scenes and kept my spirits up, so I only had to film them once," Thuy Dung said.

Not only runner-up Thuy Dung, actress Trinh Thao (playing the role of Nhi, Ngan's younger sister) also had a transformation when filming, accepting a sloppy, sloppy look.
"The memorable scene for me is the scene where Nhi finds out that Ngan was "sold" by her father to a tycoon for 250 million VND. The character is upset and argues back with her father and is beaten painfully. I thought about how to express it from the moment I read the script, to act appropriately.
The scene of me being beaten by my father was like that on screen, but backstage, everyone gathered around to watch me being beaten, it was as lively as watching a football match (laughs). Overall, it was a lot of fun, an unforgettable memory," Trinh Thao said.
Thuy Dung was born in 1996 and won the 2nd runner-up prize of Miss Vietnam 2016. After the contest, she pursued a career as a professional MC.
