Tran Nghia "Us 8 Years Later": "Happy that my character is being criticized"

Tung is the opposite of my personality in real life.

Has the audience's love for the movie "Us 8 Years Later" surprised you recently?

- This doesn't surprise me too much because Us of 8 Years Later is a youth film, the script is very realistic, close, the cast is young, and fresh. The film is directed by prestigious directors and screenwriters of VFC, so it is even more convincing.

After 3 years of returning to TV dramas, I'm happy that I chose the right project and was trusted by the director and crew.

Although the film is loved, your character Tung makes many people angry because of his philandering and deceitful personality. On forums, there are many opinions criticizing your role. Especially after episode 12, when Tung was caught cheating. Did this affect you psychologically?

- I was affected, but in a positive way. Seeing people hate and "throw stones" at Tung, I was happy because I created the character's essence, not being stereotyped or confused with the previous role.

Watching the movie, many viewers told me they no longer recognized the loyal, gentle teacher Nghia. Instead, Tung was hateful and unpleasant from his gestures, his walking, and his way of talking.

Tung is completely opposite to my personality in real life, and is also completely different from the characters I have played before. Therefore, to take on this role, I had to invest time in researching the character and cultivating a lot.

How did Tran Nghia connect and share with Hoang Huyen (the actress who plays the role of teacher Nguyet - PV) to create natural interactions for the role?

- While playing the character, I didn't consider Huyen a flirting target, like guys do in real life.

To make the scenes as natural as possible, I didn't discuss in advance what I would do but always let her improvise according to her feelings. In part 1, Tung and Nguyet didn't have any private scenes together so Huyen and I were at a slight disadvantage.

That's why, every time I appear with the group, I always try to connect with Huyen through eyes as much as possible, thanks to that, the two of us find harmony in each other's acting.

In real life, Hoang Huyen is a mature girl, of course sometimes still a bit spoiled like a girl. She studied psychology so she grasps people's psychology very quickly, Huyen's personality and the character in the movie are actually quite similar.

Many viewers believe that the movie "Us of 8 Years Later" should not change the cast in phase 2 because the current 4 faces are doing very well. Do you regret that your role ended right after episode 15?

- If I say I don't have any regrets, I'd be lying. I and the other three actors all feel a little wistful. Every time the group meets or talks about the movie, we often joke: "I wish we could film a few more episodes, how much fun it would be."

However, after all, with a little regret like that, the audience will look forward to our next projects more. Part 2 of the film We of 8 Years Later is performed by VFC's experienced cast, I believe the film will be worth watching and hope the audience will continue to support the work.

I also like women like teacher Nguyet.

In real life, does Tran Nghia like women like teacher Nguyet and has he ever been in a difficult situation like Tung in "We of 8 years later"?

- I also like gentle, delicate and intelligent women. Being a teacher like Nguyet is even better because it's a wonderful job.

In real life, I don't live like Tung so I've never encountered such a situation. Even now, I still don't think I can be so smooth-talking and flirting with girls when transforming into the character.

Luckily I only acted in 15 episodes, otherwise if I were to act in 40 episodes and keep talking like that, I'd be afraid I'd be possessed in real life without even realizing it (laughs).

In life, people who know me say that I am a bit conservative. Conservative here means that once I have a thought, a belief, or a feeling in my head, it is very difficult for me to change it. When I love someone, I only focus on that person.

Many colleagues also commented that Tran Nghia is very quiet and mature for his age. Is this true?

- Maybe so. I went through my 20s innocently, naively, looking at everything bright and positive. Normally I was very quiet, but as I became more experienced, experiencing the struggles and changes of life, I became more quiet.

However, I am quiet in my thoughts, but in life, I am not a closed person. I can play with everyone, both older and younger people.

When I talk to young people, I am "infected" by their energy, liveliness and enthusiasm. Meanwhile, older people influence me with certain thoughts or ideas. I think that diversity is a positive thing.

So how is your current way of loving? A very quiet man, who considers himself an introvert, surely the girl by your side must be special?

- My way of loving is not different from everyone else's, I think. When entering a love story, the most important thing is to put all your feelings into it. Love is something that lovers can easily understand and feel, without needing to embellish or smear.

For someone pursuing an acting career like me, the people around me must truly understand and forgive. They will inevitably feel hurt, when I have to be away for a month to make a film, or only come home late at night.

However, once understood, it will be a very long-lasting and strong love. The reason is because my point of view is very clear: Work is work, it has nothing to do with outside life.

I very much limit contact and closeness with my co-stars, no matter where they are. In my mind, I never think that I can hold hands or hug my co-stars comfortably.

I set boundaries like that so that people don't misunderstand my feelings and attitudes. I think that's also a way to make the people around me feel comfortable and secure.

Thanks for sharing!
