Ly Hai refused to compete with Tran Thanh at Golden Kite Awards

The 2024 Golden Kite Awards witnessed the competition of more than 160 films and television works. Unfortunately, "Flip Side 7" did not participate in the election, causing two trillion-dollar directors to miss out on this competition.

Award Ceremony Golden Kite 2024 held at That Theater, Nha Trang. In addition to the mission of promoting tourism development through cinema and cultural connection, the event was upgraded to a national tourism - cinema festival.

This year, there are more than 160 films, television works and theoretical and critical research works participating in the competition.

Without Ly Hai, will Tran Thanh win big?

In the field of cinema, Tomorrow by director Tran Thanh appeared on the nomination list and competed for awards at the last minute. With the achievement of the highest-grossing Vietnamese film of all time (over 520 billion VND), this is a strong candidate for many important categories such as director, actor, cinematographer...

The surprise is Flip Side 7: A Wish Director Ly Hai is absent from Golden Kite 2024. The movie was a box office success that year.

With Tomorrow, Flip Side 7 help Vietnamese box office in the first half of 2024 flourish. Therefore, the race at the Golden Kite 2024 is less attractive when Ly Hai misses the competition with Tran Thanh.

Meanwhile, Peach, Pho and Piano directed by Meritorious Artist Phi Tien Son is no less competitive and is a strong candidate in many categories. The work produced under the order of the state with a wartime theme created a wave when it was shown, attracting many generations of audiences to the theater.

Despite many controversies regarding the loss and profit when released in theaters, the Golden Kite Awards ceremony still recognized Thai Hoa's performance in the film. The price of happiness. After the surprise double at Golden Kite 2023, the audience wonders whether the "box office king" will continue to be honored with the role of a man with an affair and a complex psychology of Thai Hoa in the debut film of director Nguyen Ngoc Lam

Ly Hai will not compete with Tran Thanh at Golden Kite 2024.

The Golden Kite 2024 is also getting younger with the participation of many theatrical works with strong commercial and youth colors such as Claws (Director Le Thanh Son), Fanta (Director Andy Nguyen), Demon Dog (director Liu Chenglun), Meet the pregnant woman again (Director Nhat Trung), The most beautiful summer (Director Vu Khac Tuan)...
