Dien Khai Van: The person who announced Chau Hai My's illness, close friend of 'comedy king' Chau Tinh Tri

Actor Dien Khai Van is no longer a strange name in the Chinese market. As a veteran face, Dien Khai Van is not only remembered for his roles, but is also of interest to netizens as a close friend of Chau Tinh Tri.

Dien Khai Van was born in 1961 in a family with many children, with extremely difficult economic circumstances. His poor family situation forced him to drop out of school in middle school and work as a chef to help his family make ends meet.

During the days of struggling to make a living, Dien Khai Van accidentally saw the movie The Web Of Death by legendary director So Nguyen. It was this work that later changed the male artist's life. He dreamed of becoming a famous actor in Hong Kong.

However, Dien Khai Van's dream was opposed by his biological father for 5 reasons: "ugly, uneducated, no talent, no support, poor family". Seeing that what his father said was not wrong, he gave up his dream of becoming an actor and continued to work as a chef.

In 1979, just turned 18 years old, despite his family's opposition, Dien Khai Van decided to embark on the artistic path, pursuing his passion for acting. To get closer to acting, he applied for a job at a television station as a backstage employee. Gradually Dien Khai Van switched to supporting roles, then gradually became a main actor.

After 42 years of working, he acted in 45 works with many popular titles such as Shaolin Football Team, King of Comedy, Food God, Transforming Superman, Cunning Lawyer Tran Mong Cat, God of Cards 2, Mister Gangster, Mermaid...

Dien Khai Van is considered a multi-talented artist in the entertainment industry as he is both an actor, host, voiceover artist and a senior writer in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.

In 2016, he succeeded Ngo Tu Nguyen to become President of the Hong Kong Artists Association, protecting the rights and interests of artists working in the film production industry. According to HK01, although Dien Khai Van is quite quiet, he is a powerful and vocal figure in the industry. Co Thien Lac - President of the Hong Kong Artists Association - always shows respect for Dien Khai Van.

In 2018, when Lam Khiet Anh passed away, the male artist was the one who organized the funeral for the late artist. Recently, he along with Co Thien Lac, Liu Weiqiang, Yu An An, and Tien Gia Lac called for donations to rescue the Hong Kong film industry with an amount of more than 5 million USD.

Recently, about the sad news that TVB star Chau Hai My passed away, Dien Khai Van was also the one who informed the audience about his illness. Specifically, the male artist confirmed that Chau Hai My has had lupus erythematosus for a long time. However, the late actress once denied having lupus erythematosus but revealed that she had low platelets in her blood, and even the slightest collision would cause bruising.

In addition, Dien Khai Van is also long-time friends with late actors Ngo Manh Dat and Chau Tinh Tri. According to HK01, Dien Khai Van and Ngo Manh Dat knew each other when they were both just entering the entertainment world. They form relationships and share difficulties on the road to finding a place in showbiz.

In 1979, Ngo Manh Dat became famous thanks to the success of the work So Luu Huong Legend. Later, the late male artist fell into ruin because of his habit of burning money on gambling mats. He tried to borrow money from friends in the world but didn't get much. Dien Khai Van now wants to help his friend but is also "disagreeable" because he still has to financially support the whole family.

Thanks to Chau Nhuan Phat's silent help, Ngo Manh Dat diligently filmed for 4 years and paid off his debt. In 1989, the late star and Chau Tinh Tri became a pair that stirred up the Chinese box office.

The two stars met each other when they were still unknown actors at TVB in the late 1980s. At that time, Chau Tinh Tri and Ngo Manh Dat's houses lived opposite each other, just an alley apart. Therefore, the two often go to the studio and leave together.

On Sina, Manh Dat once said that he and his 11-year-old junior often met for coffee near his house and confided to each other their dreams about the future. The male artist said the two have opposite personalities but their conversation is compatible. The artist duo both like to eat clams, but because they are too poor to buy fresh clams, they can only buy canned clams. Each time, Ngo Manh Dat gave up a lot to Chau Tinh Tri.

Later, Dien Khai Van added to the friendship of the two stars. When Tinh Gia became an artist under Vinh Thuy film company, male star Dien became his close friend. According to HK01, when in the film crew, Dien Khai Van was the one who took care of every piece of food and sleep for director King of Comedy.

In 1994, seeing Dien Khai Van's hidden charm, Tinh Gia asked director Vuong Tinh to give his "friend" a role in Quan Xam Loc Coc. Chau Tinh Tri and Ngo Manh Dat play the main characters, while artist Dien takes on the role of the corpse. During the recording process, Tinh Gia playfully used a clip to clip Dien Khai Van's hand. Although it was quite painful, he remained motionless until the end of the scene.

In 1999, when Chow produced the work King of Comedy, he included this memory in the film to express his admiration for Dien Khai Van. Three years ago, Tinh Gia invited his senior to be his assistant when he established his own company. In 2004, the male star promoted Dien Khai Van to the board of directors, with authority second only to him. They worked together for 13 years and "broke up" in 2009.

The cause of the "rift" between the two was revealed by Dien Khai Van as a conflict in the company's development strategy. Not wanting to stand still, he left and opened his own company, becoming a screenwriter, producer and director.

In 2004, Tinh Gia and Ngo Manh Dat broke up their friendship after a conflict on the set of the movie Kung Fu Master. For nearly 20 years, the two stars have neither collaborated on films nor appeared together.

During this time, Dien Khai Van became a bridge. According to On , they are angry with each other but still secretly care about "their old friend". Chau Tinh Tri wants to know when Ngo Manh Dat comes out, just ask the Head of the Hong Kong Film Association and vice versa. Later, the two normalized relations.
