The Year of the Dragon witnessed a fierce but also very interesting battle between domestic films that audiences were looking forward to. Mai by director Tran Thanh was the first name to announce its participation in the 2024 Tet film race, following the brilliant success of Mrs. Nu's House last year.
Quoc Khanh's character Tuan in "Gap lai chi bau", a film crew assistant with the dream of becoming a famous director.
Not long after that, "hundred-billion-dollar director" Nhat Trung also confirmed his return to the box office with Meet the Pregnant Sister Again . This film "caused a fever" on social networks when it marked the first time the most beloved couple in Vietnamese showbiz, Anh Tu - Dieu Nhi, played the main roles on the big screen.
However, these two “rival” films have an interesting thing in common: they both feature the young actor Quoc Khanh as the main character. Quoc Khanh’s story is quite similar to that of artist Le Giang during Tet last year. In Mrs. Nu’s House, Le Giang plays the main role - Mrs. Ngoc Nu, and also transforms into the funny Ms. Hanh in Sister Sister 2. Notably, Quoc Khanh and Le Giang will also act together in Meet Again Sister Bau this year.
Quoc Khanh was born in 1993 in Ho Chi Minh City, in a family that was not in the arts. The turning point came in 2016 when he participated in the show Laughter Across Vietnam and received the love of a large audience. Although he did not reach the highest position, Quoc Khanh had many more opportunities to work in the arts, and has now become a familiar face in many series, television shows and even blockbuster movies thanks to his very "charming" acting in many genres.
Tuan (Quoc Khanh) is the "oldest brother" of the group of young friends Huyen (Dieu Nhi), Phuc (Anh Tu) and Ngoc (Ngoc Phuoc), the "unstable" quartet that promises to destroy the box office during Tet.
The movie Mai is another time Quoc Khanh collaborates with Tran Thanh after famous projects, especially the web drama and the movie Bo Gia . In the new movie, Quoc Khanh will have a close relationship with the male lead character played by Tuan Tran.
In the new film by director Nhat Trung , Meeting the Boss, Quoc Khanh will become a member of a group of four friends at Mrs. Le's boarding house (played by Le Giang), alongside Anh Tu, Dieu Nhi and Ngoc Phuoc. According to the crew, Quoc Khanh will play the role of Tuan, the "oldest brother" of the group, who is working as an assistant in film crews and dreams of becoming a famous director.
Although not the one with the most screen time, Quoc Khach made the audience excited in the trailer of Reuniting with the boss with a series of interesting scenes such as when he questioned Phuc's (played by Anh Tu) true identity or when he heard Ngoc (played by Ngoc Phuoc) bragging to Phuc about Tuan once pursuing her but being rejected.
Quoc Khanh's "unique" expression in the trailer of "Meeting the Pregnant Sister" gives the audience more expectations that he will bring fun, and maybe even be the unexpected "MVP" of the film alongside the beloved couple Anh Tu - Dieu Nhi or the famous "comedian" Ngoc Phuoc.
The performance of Quoc Khanh and his co-stars in the film promises a very harmonious juggling between the young faces of Vietnamese cinema, creating a humorous work filled with the atmosphere of youth, adding a lot of positive energy to the audience in the new year.
If in the teaser trailer Mai , Quoc Khanh brings a character that seems to be a playboy, "experienced in life", then he completely transforms in Meet the Pregnant Sister with the image of a gentle, close-knit "neighbor" full of passion for art. The contrast in the two roles affirms Quoc Khanh's flexibility in acting, especially when stepping out of the comedy stages to the big screen with new challenges.
Talking about the Tet season “confrontation” of the two films he participated in, Quoc Khanh said: “I am not pressured at all but feel lucky because I am a new face but have been able to participate in two big film projects. During the upcoming Tet holiday, audiences watching any Vietnamese film will see me (laughs). I hope both films will be loved by the audience and explode in revenue.”

"Mr. Tran Thanh and Mr. Nhat Trung are both seniors that I respect for their professional working style and dedication to their profession. On set, they always support, advise and create a comfortable mindset for the actors to shine the brightest in front of the camera," Quoc Khanh said about the two directors of the 2023 Tet films.
Director Nhat Trung also shared more about the reason for choosing Quoc Khanh to be part of the "unstable" quartet of the boarding house in Meeting the Pregnant Sister Again : "I always look for new faces for my projects and Quoc Khanh is someone I have observed for many years since he participated in Laughing Across Vietnam 2016 and later collaborated with Quang Trung, Minh Du, BB Tran, Huynh Lap in comedy skits. Quoc Khanh has a very charming acting style besides his funny face, lovely chubby body, sometimes Khanh doesn't even act but the audience already finds it funny.
When casting the role of Tuan for Meet the Pregnant Sister, I immediately thought of Quoc Khanh. During the 30 days of working together on set, he proved that my choice was absolutely correct. The atmosphere on set was always cheerful thanks to the comedy of Quoc Khanh, Ngoc Phuoc and Ms. Le Giang."
Having appeared in two major films with the most famous crews of Vietnamese cinema, each of which was a resounding "winner" at the box office, Quoc Khanh has proven himself to be one of the names sought after by directors and trusted to participate in major works.
