Being criticized for acting in a one-dimensional way, what did Khanh Van in "Mat Biec" say?

(VTC News) -

Actress Khanh Van revealed that she was always stereotyped as a 16-17 year old character after the success of Tra Long in "Mat Biec".

After a few years of silence, actress Khanh Van returns with a web drama project called Lien and Dat co- starring with Cody Nam Vo.

The film tells the troubled love story of Lien (played by Khanh Van) and Dat (played by Cody Nam Vo). They fell in love and were about to get married, but due to an incident, they were separated. Once they overcame the misunderstanding, they no longer had the chance to start over.

In the film, Khanh Van's role is considered attractive with a sweet appearance. However, the actress's acting and performance are commented to be similar to some previous projects, especially Tra Long of Mat Biec.

Khanh Van returns after several years of silence.

Faced with comments that her acting is "one-dimensional", constantly taking on characters with a cheerful and innocent image, Khanh Van explained that she wanted to do well with the image that the audience loves about her, then expand to try more other types of roles on screen.

"When I participated in the movie "Mat Biec", I was an amateur and had never studied acting. After that, I limited my participation in other movies because most producers sent me scripts to play the role of a 17-18 year old girl, while I was already 28 years old. I was quite sad, but my appearance was only suitable for that role.

This project will have many new colors. However, this is only the first episode, so I hope everyone will continue to watch to see my changes," she said.

The actress does not want to be stereotyped with innocent roles.

Khanh Van describes the character in the new film as having many new colors and is also the most different role of her career. This character helps her learn and improve her acting skills so that she can participate in many bigger projects in the future. After the project, Khanh Van will have 2 upcoming movies.

Notably, this is also the first film that Khanh Van participated in producing, marking a major turning point in her career. As both the main character and producer, Khanh Van cannot avoid the pressure.

However, the female artist born in 1995 sees this as a challenge that she needs to overcome in her long artistic journey.

"I always consciously try my best not to let down the crew, who brought an unknown girl closer to the audience," Khanh Van shared.

In the film, Khanh Van and Cody Nam Vo also have many intimate scenes. Previously, the two had collaborated on several art projects, so they understood each other well and maintained a close relationship. To prepare for the role, the two young artists also spent many days practicing. As a result, the two achieved an explosive "chemical reaction" that led to suspicions of "fake love in the movie, real love in the real world".

Talking about this, Cody affirmed that the character Lien in the movie is not his type, while Khanh Van also emphasized: "Dat is not my type either."

However, other actors in the film revealed that Cody and Khanh Van were very close on set. In real life, the two were even sweeter than on film, often eating together, taking care of each other, and never leaving each other's side.

As a singer turned actor, Cody also said that he encountered many difficulties when filming this web drama.

Lien and Dat is a project of Kim Entertainment. The film's name is similar to Lan and Diep's reverse pronunciation. The film exploits the perspective of young people in a gentle way. At the same time, the film was also created to introduce Khanh Van closer to the public. In addition to the two main actors, the film also has the participation of Hoang Meo, Quang Tran (Tran Van Quang), Vo Dang Khoa, Thanh Vy...
