The movie The Last Wife by director Victor Vu has just been released to the media in the historical, psychological, emotional genre, inspired by the novel Ho Oan Han by author Hong Thai.
Since its announcement, The Last Wife has been predicted to be a Vietnamese film that will attract the attention of the audience. At the same time, the film project Southern Forest Land directed by Nguyen Quang Dung and produced by Tran Thanh will also be released.
When asked "is there any pressure when competing with another film project", Victor Vu frankly said: "I am very afraid of the words 'competition' and 'rival' when talking about Vietnamese films. Our film market is still very small and developing. If there are works that promote the beauty of Vietnamese culture and life, they are all worth supporting.
The distributor has also analyzed and divided the release time reasonably. I think any Vietnamese film with high revenue is a good thing."
Director Victor Vu.
Returning to the historical genre after more than a decade since The Hero's Destiny , director Victor Vu "played big" by gathering a cast of talented actors from both the North and South.
In this project, Victor Vu chose Kaity Nguyen to play the female lead. He affirmed that the actress has many breakthrough and surprising elements.
Kaity Nguyen said she felt a lot of pressure because she grew up abroad, and even speaking Vietnamese was not completely confident, but she had to transform into the third wife of a feudal district governor. However, this was also the actress's 6th film work. Therefore, she wanted to break out of her comfort zone to continue conquering new heights.
Kaity Nguyen continues to have a "heavyweight" leading role.
Co-starring with Kaity Nguyen in this project is Thuan Nguyen. In the film, they have many romantic scenes. Kaity Nguyen said that for this film, the important thing was to find a couple who could ensure the script, characters, and story of the film. The actress felt lucky to work with Thuan Nguyen. He was very thoughtful, caring, and shared with her throughout the filming process.
Thuan Nguyen said that before filming the love scene, Kaity Nguyen invited him to drink alcohol. This surprised him because no female actress had ever taken the initiative with him like that before.
In addition to the two young actors, the film also features a pair of veteran actors - Meritorious Artist Quang Thang and Meritorious Artist Kim Oanh in the roles of the district chief and his wife. Director Victor Vu invited the two artists to participate in the project because they have the unique acting skills he was looking for.
Victor Vu believes that whether he plays a main or supporting role, he always wants to create unique stories and very “real” thoughts for the characters. When accepting the role, Meritorious Artist Kim Oanh was quite worried because there are certain differences in acting styles between the North and the South. However, director Victor Vu reassured her that he would have a way to coordinate the characters so that they could work together harmoniously in the film.
