3 Tet 2025 movies 'riding each other's necks, Tran Thanh's throne is 'threatened'?

In the context of the Tet movie race with many formidable competitors, Tran Thanh admitted that his film this year - "The Four Guardians" - is not as "heavyweight" as "Mai" and may lose in terms of revenue.

Meanwhile, the remaining hundred-billion-dollar names are trying their best with their own promotional "tricks" to attract the attention of the audience. The three Vietnamese films released on the occasion of Tet At Ty 2025 are all associated with hundred-billion-dollar names. Love by mistake best friend has Kaity Nguyen as the main character, directed by Nguyen Quang Dung and Diep The Vinh; Nu hon bac bien has Thu Trang as director and a secondary main and supporting role; finally, the film Bo tu bao thu by Tran Thanh has many prominent faces in the showbiz world recently.

However, the differences in this year's Tet film season compared to 2024 and previous years show that Tran Thanh's throne may be threatened. Joining the Tet film race since 2021, Tran Thanh has owned 3 films that all earned over 400 billion VND, totaling over 1,400 billion VND.

The 3 films have many things in common, implicitly creating Tran Thanh's familiar style: Family films or romantic films with family elements, full of elements of joy, anger, love, and hate. The intention is to make the audience experience many levels of emotions and then end with understanding and gratitude.

Experts have commented that Tran Thanh has improved, learned to control the details that some audiences call "nonsense comedy", the level of noise and excitement, most clearly seen in Mai.

Critic Le Hong Lam once wrote in a quick review post after watching Mai: "Better than Tran Thanh's previous two films in a more complete way, although not as entertaining. A film that still follows the same stereotypes, but because the way it is told is so real and realistic, it touches the majority."

Mai also broke the record as the first Vietnamese film to earn over 500 billion VND, continuing Tran Thanh's record of higher revenue from each film than the previous one. Many audiences understand that Tran Thanh's next work will continue to push the climax, doing a better job with the highs and lows.

Continue to reduce the noise to give the film more weight, have a more convincing script, have a better actress than Phuong Anh Dao (who has been highly appreciated) to play the main role... However, it seems that this director has chosen to "return" to the same path he escaped from.

With the new film's name being The Four Guardians - all initial attention was focused on the boisterous quartet played by Tran Thanh, Le Giang, Uyen An and Le Duong Bao Lam. Some initial comments about the film said that this quartet was "really noisy, which could be a minus point for the love story line".

In fact, the love story is the focus of the film. However, taking on this responsibility, the trio Quoc Anh and two beauty queens: Tieu Vy and Ky Duyen also brought certain doubts.

Quoc Anh only participated in a movie 6 years ago (Trang Quynh by Duc Thinh) with Tran Thanh. In the television industry, he appeared in Mother's Dream, Love Before Wedding and Us of 8 Years Later.

However, many viewers believe that the 1998-born actor has not left a deep enough impression beyond his good looks. Quoc Anh himself once shared that he still has many shortcomings when acting in films.

Similarly, the two beauty queens also made viewers curious about their acting ability or doubt whether they were just "mobile vases", invited to act in films because they had a large fan base, helping to ensure part of the sales. The Four Guardians was both the film that Ky Duyen entered the cinema, and the first film that Tieu Vy played the main role in (before that, she had only had a supporting role in Jackpot Island and Mai).

After 2 screenings, the film received some positive feedback. In Hanoi, People's Artist Le Khanh gave professional compliments to Tran Thanh as well as the 3 central actors.

After the screening, some audiences working in the media industry were most impressed with Ky Duyen thanks to her sharp and surprising performance, even though it was only a supporting role. In addition, Quoc Anh and Tieu Vy were also commented to have made progress and performed their roles well.

The advantage of being a remake (new version) has been recognized for Love by Mistake (a new version). The original work is a Thai film (English title: Friendzone) and is considered humorous, close and charming thanks to the talented cast of Nine Naphat and Baifern Pimchanok.

At the time of its release in 2019, this was the Thai film with the highest domestic revenue - 134 million Baht and was well received when released internationally. In Vietnam, the revenue of Love by Mistake Best Friend surpassed the "super product" Bad Genius.

With this year's Billion Dollar Kiss, the female director also took a similar bold step to Tran Thanh by inviting Miss Doan Thien An to play the main role. Before Billion Dollar Kiss, the beauty had just participated in Cong Tu Bac Lieu and had not left any impression. Therefore, this role is not only a new challenge, but also a particularly big challenge, requiring the 25-year-old beauty queen to conquer if she wants to leave her mark in the profession.

In terms of promotion, Billion Dollar Kiss had not just one but two showcases to introduce the film to the press and media. At each event, the crew revealed a different content than what was previously released.
