A scene from the movie "Village in the City".
This is a pretty good achievement for "Village in the City" - a work that doesn't have too much drama or complicated plot like some other films.
If in part 1, the film's setting was limited to the countryside, then in part 2, the characters will have to struggle with making a living in the city.
The film even surpassed the achievement of "My family is suddenly happy" - which had previously created a storm. The film by two directors Ngoc Linh - Duc Hieu is temporarily ranked second in the rankings with a rating of 4.4.
On social networks, "Village in the City" has also become a hot topic of discussion. On the VTV Entertainment fanpage, each video clip attracts millions of views and hundreds of thousands of comments and shares. At its peak, one video clip reached 3.4 million views.
This amount of interaction is not inferior to previous blockbusters such as "Life is still beautiful" or "Love the sunny days"...
According to director Mai Hien, "Village in the City" has an independent position from part 1 of "City in the Village". The film is completely newly developed with many old and new characters.
The film is about the lives of people from the countryside who come to the city to make a living. The film has now aired episode 16 with interesting details when Hieu (Duy Hung) and Nhung (Phuong Anh) "disappear" together, unable to contact each other.
This created suspicion from Hieu's wife Hoai (Tran Van) about the relationship between the couple Hieu - Nhung.
Meanwhile, "My family is suddenly happy" lost its appeal when it was criticized for having too many tragic scripts like the motif of Korean movies.
The plot of the film is also commented to be rambling and exaggerated, especially the continuous tragedies that fall on the family of Mr. Toai (People's Artist Bui Bai Binh) - Mrs. Cuc (People's Artist Lan Huong), from Danh (Thanh Son) and his wife breaking up, Phuong (Kieu Anh) and her husband losing their baby for the third time, and then Cong (Quang Su) getting cancer.
Young, talented cast
"The Village in the City" brings together a cast of young and talented actors such as: Duy Hung (as Hieu), Tran Van (as Hoai), Doan Quoc Dam (as Men), Tien Loc (as Hung), Phuong Anh (as Nhung)... Each character contributes to creating connecting points for the film's story.
The setting of the movie "Village in the City" is a boarding house for poor workers.
Choosing a topic close to life, related to rural workers coming to the city to find work, director, Meritorious Artist Mai Hien shows a different color of herself besides films belonging to the political and criminal genre.
After part 1, actress Tran Van was commented by director Mai Hien to be much more mature than in previous roles.
In the film, Tran Van's character Hoai now has a family, has to take care of the house and children. Tran Van shared that this was a huge challenge for her when making this film.
The reason is that she herself is not married and therefore has no experience, so the role of Hoai is also a big challenge for her. She learns and observes from her mother, and from the mother of the child actor she plays with.
Tran Van said that director Mai Hien and her colleagues in the film crew also gave her a lot of guidance, instruction, and shared their experiences, helping her complete her role.
Meanwhile, Duy Hung's character Hieu is no longer a funny, childish guy, but has more introspective scenes, when he is "in a dilemma", not knowing where to go with the burden of his wife and children on his shoulders, and the mess he doesn't know how to handle.
The character Hieu is honest, sincere and somewhat clumsy, suddenly becomes confused, not knowing how to deal with the twists and dangers on the dark side of urban life, but still maintains sincerity and faith in goodness and kindness.
