New breeze of Vietnamese cinema
Recently, the movie Sister-in -law of Khuong Ngoc has been highly appreciated by experts and audiences, earning more than 100 billion VND to date. In addition to gathering a cast of talented actors such as Hong Dao, Viet Huong, Dinh Y Nhung, Le Khanh, Khuong Ngoc's directing ability has also become a topic of discussion. He has shown his progress in this role, especially after the "fall from the horse" in Live .
Previously, Khuong Ngoc was known as an actor, having made his mark through a series of works such as Hoa da quyen, Thien menh anh hung, Scandal: Bi mat do ... Switching to being a director, although facing many challenges, in return, the 8X male star had many interesting experiences. "As a director, I can act in films, write characters for myself to play. I am not dependent or expect anyone to appear to give me a satisfactory role. When I was young, I thought that no one would always create opportunities for me. There will come a time when I cannot wait and have to take action myself", Khuong Ngoc said.
Tran Thanh continues to reap success, becoming the trillion-dollar director of Vietnamese cinema.
The Vietnamese film market is not rare for actors to become directors and achieve success, including Tran Thanh. After attracting attention with a series of films such as Ghost Hospital, Getting My Pregnant Wife Back ... Tran Thanh began to try his hand at a new role. It is worth mentioning that as a director, he continuously reaped "sweet fruits", typically Bo Gia (co-directed with Vu Ngoc Dang) earned 427 billion VND, Nha Ba Nu earned 475 billion VND and Mai with more than 520 billion VND. This achievement helped him become the first "thousand-billion director" of the Vietnamese film market.
Riding on the momentum, in 2025, Tran Thanh revealed that he will release the work The Four Guardians , gathering actors such as Le Giang, Huynh Uyen An, Le Duong Bao Lam... Through the information revealed by the crew, many people are curious about the new project that Tran Thanh will continue to take on the role of director.
On this occasion, Vietnamese cinema also witnessed Thu Trang's foray into the industry when she took on the role of director of the film Nu hon bac bien (with the participation of beauty queen Thien An, model Le Xuan Tien, actor Ma Ran Do). This work is considered Thu Trang's "all-in" after more than 20 years in the profession when she was also a producer and actress.
Thu Trang sees being the director of The Billionaire Kiss as an opportunity to experience and learn.
Good news
In fact, before making an impression on the audience with Chi Dau or Mai , both Khuong Ngoc and Tran Thanh had to face the audience's doubts when "changing direction". Because for many people, director is not a simple role, requiring a more comprehensive view instead of just focusing on the character like when being an actor. Khuong Ngoc said that in this role, he lost more sleep. "I have to think and calculate many things, but in return, it makes me happy because I receive positive energy from everyone in the crew", he shared.
Sharing with Thanh Nien , Thu Trang also admitted that she felt pressured by this foray. Understanding that the new journey was not simple, she carefully considered and asked for the support of some colleagues to be able to confidently produce Nu hon bac bien. Thu Trang frankly said: "I am lucky to have a strong team by my side, supporting me wholeheartedly. As the first time being a director, I also relied on the help and advice of my colleagues. I worked, studied and gained a lot of new knowledge on this journey", the 8X female director expressed.
Besides, changing oneself to adapt to a new role is also a difficult problem that many actors have to find a solution to when switching to become a director. Regarding this, People's Artist Dao Ba Son commented: "From the role of an actor, you are only in charge of one character and portray it. But when switching to director, it is a completely different job. In your hands now are dozens of main and secondary characters. You have to regulate all the actions of the characters in your film".
According to People's Artist Dao Ba Son, to do well in a new role, an actor needs to learn every day. The director shared: "When switching to directing, you must have a relative understanding of film editing, sound... This is a big challenge that an actor must overcome when deciding to change direction, but I believe that once you overcome it, you will be successful."
However, along with the challenges, an actor will have many advantages when entering this field. In particular, the experience gained during their career is considered the key to help actors become more confident. "They have experienced the profession, have interacted with many directors and read many scripts, if they are observant, it is their learning and exploration process. In turn, they draw a lot of experience for themselves to step onto the path of becoming a director", People's Artist Dao Ba Son expressed his opinion.
Thu Trang shared that when filming, she closely followed each scene to support any actors who encountered difficulties, whether old or new. The female director affirmed that she did not choose to impose acting on young actors or create pressure, but rather gave them the opportunity to develop their characters' emotions in their own way. Only when necessary, Thu Trang directed and guided the actors' acting with her own experience.
According to People's Artist Dao Ba Son, the success of Tran Thanh, Khuong Ngoc or Thu Trang's daring to confidently overcome her own limitations to try her hand at being a director is a good sign for the Vietnamese film market. He added a message to young people who intend to change direction: "I don't know where you come from, but as long as you have good films, the first person who benefits is the audience. Wanting to become a director does not mean just studying in school, but without studying, you cannot become a director."
