At 7pm on February 21, at the ticket counter of the National Cinema Center in Hanoi, most of the audience looked for the screening of Dao, Pho and Piano . Some people agreed to buy the time slot of another day because there were no more seats. At 10pm, there was still a large number of people lining up to buy tickets for the next day.
The audience buying tickets to see the work of artist Phi Tien Son are mainly young people. They have "watched" the center's website many times but there are no tickets, so they decide to go there in person. Some people have lined up since the day before but could not buy tickets, so they had to come back the next day.
On December 21, the center had 16 screenings, from 9am to 8:30pm. At the last screening at 8:30pm, theater number nine recorded a full house, with only the first row empty due to the close distance to the screen.

Peach, Pho and Piano was directed and written by Phi Tien Son, and commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The work is set in the 60-day and night war in Hanoi in late 1946 and early 1947, with the participation of the cast: Doan Quoc Dam, Cao Thi Thuy Linh, People's Artist Tran Luc, Nguyet Hang, Tuan Hung.
The film premiered on the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 10), only at the National Cinema Center and had a limited time slot. On February 18, the work received attention thanks to positive reviews on social networks. Due to the strong increase in audience demand, from February 19, the film screening unit increased 18 shifts a day, arranged in the largest screening rooms, with a capacity of 402 seats.
Mr. Vu Duc Tung - acting director of the center - called this an "unprecedented phenomenon". Director of the Department of Cinema Vi Kien Thanh said he proposed to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to screen the film nationwide.
Beta is currently the next theater to screen the film, with non-profit purposes. In a letter sent to the Department of Cinema, Mr. Bui Quang Minh - Chairman of Beta Group - said that the work has cultural and historical value, and the unit wishes to release it widely to audiences nationwide. On February 21, Beta opened direct ticket sales at theaters in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Thai Nguyen, and Binh Duong. Currently, the unit has expanded screenings to cities such as Bac Giang, Bien Hoa, Thanh Hoa, and Nha Trang.
According to Box Office - an independent box office monitoring unit, on the morning of February 22, the film earned more than one billion VND after 11 days of release.
