Actress Uyen Trinh: U70 is still struggling on her own, only playing supporting roles all her life and the pain of losing her husband

Nearly 70 years old, actress Uyen Trinh is still working hard, always devoting herself to taking on the role even though she only plays supporting roles all her life. Catsé does not have enough to live, the female artist does more work.

Artist Uyen Trinh used to be attached to the stage of the Diamond Theater Troupe. She participated in many famous plays such as The Rose in a Dress, Durian Leaves, Lei Vu, The Late Lover, etc. In terms of film, she participated in a range of skits, short films to TV series, movie.

Artist Uyen Trinh is not a star, she came to the profession by accident such as going to the market to buy vegetables and fish. After finishing high school, her family was not well off, she went to sewing school, wanted to be a seamstress to help her parents, but then by chance the TV drama department at that time recruited people, so she signed up for the contest for fun. . Unexpectedly chosen, then attached to the Diamond Theater Troupe.

In fact, there were actors who, although mainly played supporting roles, were still loved by the audience. Artist Uyen Trinh is one of them. Her whole career only had supporting roles, even voice acting only stopped at supporting roles, but when it came to her, TV viewers all knew.

Possessing a gentle appearance, plus good acting ability, she is always assigned supporting roles. From the role of a maid, the role of the main character's brother-in-law, the role of a person asking for directions... to the role of an "old lady picking up market" in the folk drama Tam Cam. That is, the roles do not have much time, only appear briefly, say a few lines and that's it. However, artist Uyen Trinh always knows how to make these supporting roles impressive, becoming the ladder that brings her to the position of specializing in playing excellent supporting roles in hot segments of plays, films and even dubbing.

The female artist once considered that each role in the film is an important piece of the puzzle that creates a whole. The success of a film is the result of the whole team, not just any individual. Therefore, she thinks that if an actor only asks for a lot of roles, no one will accept the remaining roles. Although she only plays a supporting role, her roles are countless, unspeakable, from theatrical films, TV series to short films and skits.

She said: "It can be seen that in a TV series, each role is a piece of the puzzle to create a whole. I think the world of supporting roles contains a lot of emotions. it's a character who has a connection with the main characters, so the success of a movie comes from a group, not just an individual. If you have a lot of land to play, who will play the rest of the roles?Just like everyone wins the voice for the main role, who will do the supporting role?

Artist Uyen Trinh said that there are artists who, despite having the main role, often want to take on supporting roles because then they can renew themselves, showing a different image of themselves in the eyes of the audience. For movies with tragic stories, the main role or having to be patient, fate is the sufferer, so now the supporting role has many opportunities to make an impression.

In addition to acting, artist Uyen Trinh is also known as a voice actor. During her 40-year career, she took on many character lines and always tried to give her characters a new color. "The happiness of the dubbing profession is that when walking on the street, many people hear their voice and recognize this role in the movie, that's more than enough" - Uyen Trinh said.

She added that, both before and now, the supporting role's salary was still very low, unable to help the actor make a living, so she soon worked as a voiceover. But if there is good acting, the supporting role will be expensive, invited to act in many movies and plays, from the catwalk to television. As a result, her audience reach is wider. And only when it is known by many audiences, can the actress playing the supporting role be able to go a long way with the profession like the one she went through.

"The supporting role, although appearing less, still requires the actor to have the best performance. Playing a supporting role so that the audience remembers me is a difficult problem. For myself, every role has its sublimation. Particularly, if you know how to fully exploit that role, that role will be the highlight. And when you have the creative key to exploit, even a supporting role can still stand out and shine as bright as the main role." female artist experiences.

Artist Uyen Trinh's husband is also an employee of the Diamond Theater Troupe. In an interview, the female artist said that since her husband's departure, she has been more limited in receiving shows than before: " Feeling empty, because before, when I went to perform, when I went to film, he was always driven by my wife. husband together, attached, now go to work for a living, for life, but still feel his absence."

In addition, she and her husband only have one son together, so when the child is grown up, she can take care of herself and her family is not too burdened about having to make a living and earn money to take care of them. Her son even advised her mother to quit her job and spend more time resting. However, the actress is still diligent in acting every time she gets a role

Artist Uyen Trinh believes that actors should not look down on supporting roles, must know how to find movies they have played to review and then listen to the opinions of the audience and colleagues and strive. Know how to look at yourself, not afraid to criticize the land of little acting.

"Because, this is an opportunity to bring a new feeling to the audience through a different image on the film. In tragic stories, the main role is often the one who suffers, most supporting roles are easier to make an impression." - she shared.

When asked about whether she would choose to become an actor specializing in supporting roles and voice acting if she returned, she said that everyone dreams of being famous, topping the list of beloved stars but being loved by others. one will lose the other. If possible, she hopes in her next life to have an honest and kind job like her gentle, hard-working supporting roles.

"I only dream, but maybe I will be chosen. Everyone hopes that when I do art, I will be famous, will be at the top of the list of beloved stars. But this profession is very sacred, there is always a way to allocate publicity. If you win one, lose another. At the top of fame or below the supporting list, every rank has a price, every price has sacrifices. I believe I would choose, if I had to. In the next life, an honest and kind job like the supporting roles that I play, has a gentle, hard-working quality, just like my life "-Actor Uyen Trinh said.
