Actress Thuy Anh's role was cut.

The producer of the movie "Bước Trầm" cut actress Thuy Anh's role and demanded 20 billion VND in compensation because he believed she violated the contract.

Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy - Director of Hoa Tho Media Joint Stock Company, the film producer - said that the two sides ended their cooperation because actress Thuy Anh did not ensure the filming schedule and leaked internal information of the crew.

According to Ms. Thanh Thuy, on the evening of August 12, Thuy Anh had an accident while filming in Phu Yen due to standing in the wrong position. The crew took her to a local international hospital for treatment, but the actress did not agree, asking the crew to buy a plane ticket to return to Ho Chi Minh City for examination. After that, the two sides agreed to resume work on the morning of August 20. But Thuy Anh changed it to another day because she had to wait for her personal doctor to remove the stitches.

The crew asked Thuy Anh to remove the stitches on August 19 so that she could be in Phu Yen as scheduled, due to the filming schedule involving many actors. The crew said they would bandage the wound, not apply makeup directly on the scar, and would use special effects to cover it up. In addition, the crew committed to creating conditions for Thuy Anh to visit the doctor every three days. According to Ms. Thuy, both sides agreed to the plan.

However, later, a Facebook account named Chau Vu Quynh Nguyen posted an article denouncing the film crew for their unprofessional work and failure to ensure occupational safety. The post tagged Thuy Anh's personal page. This person also had some photos and messages exchanged between the film crew and the actors - information that was committed to be kept confidential in the contract. Thuy Anh said that the owner of this Facebook account was an acquaintance of hers, not a spokesperson.

Ms. Tran Thi Thanh Thuy said the "false" post, shared on the media, affected the project's reputation, forced it to stop filming, and made it difficult to broadcast on TV channels. This unit drew up a record and sent a petition to the authorities to report the incident.

Hoa Tho Media Joint Stock Company demanded Thuy Anh to compensate for the breach of the confidentiality clause in the contract, which is 22 million VND. In addition, they demanded damages for production and lost profits, totaling 20 billion VND. Ms. Thanh Thuy said she would sue if Thuy Anh did not compensate.

"Thuy Anh is a hard-working actress, dedicated to her work. We will not argue, and will only speak out once on our personal page about this incident," said the actress's manager.
