In the trailer just revealed by the producer, there are many scenes that make the audience laugh, but at the same time there are also many touching scenes when the Cai Luong theater troupe continuously encounters incidents, even standing on the brink of having to disband.
The cry “Hello, ladies and gentlemen, benefactors” in the voice of Meritorious Artist Huu Chau resounded along with a very unique image of the troupe members sitting on ox carts , roaming on the country roads. That joyful atmosphere seemed to add more joy and color to the peaceful Western landscape.
The trailer of the movie Bright Lights clearly shows the stark contrast in the journey of the Vien Phuong theater troupe throughout the countryside.
When the stage was packed with audiences, joy seemed to burst on the faces of the artists in the troupe because in addition to selling many tickets, that cheer was a priceless gift. The lyrics, the music and the mood of everyone were more eager, more joyful, happiness filled their eyes.
When the incident happened one after another with no customers, only a few people sitting alone on the sand field or when the group was disrupted by a group of thugs causing members to be seriously injured... there were tears of helplessness from the manager.
In particular, the climax of the story is two contrasting images when the troupe is having a great time on the tour bus but they suddenly crash into a roadside wedding, leaving the fate of the troupe open.
But, after all, the biggest thing that remains in the trailer is the steadfast love. In a daily conversation, when Tuan Dung's character asks: "Following the theater troupe is so hard, have you ever thought about leaving it?" Bach Cong Khanh's character immediately answers: "You consider this a troupe, but I consider it my home, how can I leave it ?"
Because of that love and devotion, they were surrounded by the people, sharing the joys and sorrows on New Year's Eve. In the common love between the members of the troupe, and the audience's love for the troupe, there are also personal feelings. The image of Bach Cong Khanh's character reluctantly saying goodbye to his "father" - the musician Canh Son, played by artist Chi Tam, in the golden afternoon evokes many feelings. Or the scenes of caring and attentive care for each other between the two characters of Bach Cong Khanh and Truc May further highlight the colorful life of the troupe.
According to director Hoang Tuan Cuong, the idea for the film Bright Lights was his and was written by screenwriter To Thien Kieu. As someone whose father was a show producer and who has been with the theater troupe since childhood, screenwriter To Thien Kieu grasped many true stories to convey in the film.
“There are many details about how the troupe operates, the hardships and joys and sorrows they have gone through, which the scriptwriter has accurately captured. Therefore, I am confident that when writing this script, I do not glorify or defame Cai Luong, but only want to tell a simple story about the troupe and the people in it with all the emotions of joy and sadness,” shared director Hoang Tuan Cuong.
He also hopes that through the film, he will portray the charm and affection in the opera troupe that the audience has never seen before and put it into the film. However, because there are so many stories, he only chooses typical details and tries to build each character with their own position and highlight.
The film features: Meritorious Artist Huu Chau, artist Chi Tam, Bach Cong Khanh, Truc May, Le Phuong, Cao Minh Dat, People's Artist Hong Van, Meritorious Artist Le Thien, Tuan Dung, Bach Long, Kim Huyen, Tieu Minh Phung, Le Trang, Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long...
The movie was released on the first day of Lunar New Year, February 10.
