Mai Cat Vi: Vietnam's youngest actress, acted in a horror film but was not allowed to watch the film

Mai Cat Vi, the youngest Best Actress in Vietnamese cinema, has shown her natural acting talent at a very young age. It is worth mentioning that although she has left a strong impression through her horror films, Vi herself has never had the chance to fully enjoy her own work.

Mai Cat Vi was born in 2009 and grew up in a family where no one pursued art. However, from a young age, she soon revealed a passion and special talent for acting. Her mischievous eyes, expressive face and rare confidence helped Cat Vi catch the eye of directors and producers right from the first casting sessions. Unlike many of her peers, Vi was not shy or awkward in front of the camera. Instead, she seemed to blend into her character, transforming in a surprisingly natural way.

Mai Cat Vi's first steps on the small screen quickly attracted attention. Her diverse acting ability, from innocent, lovely roles to characters with deep, complex inner thoughts, were all convincingly portrayed by her. Audiences began to remember the name of a gir.l with a chubby face, bright eyes and a bright smile, promising to be a promising face of Vietnamese cinema in the near future.

"Hai Phuong" and the push that made Mai Cat Vi's name shine

It was not until "Hai Phuong" was released in 2019 that Mai Cat Vi's name really exploded and reached new heights. In this breathtaking action movie, Cat Vi plays the role of Mai, the daughter of the female lead Hai Phuong (Ngo Thanh Van). Despite her young age, Vi's acting in "Hai Phuong" is not inferior to her senior Ngo Thanh Van. She excellently portrayed the image of a kidnapped gir.l, carrying extreme fear but still maintaining her innocence and purity. The scenes of inner conflict, despai.r and even glimmers of hope were all realistically portrayed by Mai Cat Vi, bringing many viewers to tears.

The resounding success of "Hai Phuong" not only brought the film to international level but also helped Mai Cat Vi receive a series of nominations and prestigious awards. In particular, the "Best Supporting Actress" award at the 21st Vietnam Film Festival officially made Mai Cat Vi the youngest "Best Actress" in the history of Vietnamese cinema, a brilliant milestone that not every actor can achieve at such a young age. The moment Cat Vi stood on stage, receiving the prestigious trophy with a bright smile has become a symbol for a generation of talented and promising young actors in Vietnam.

"Bac Kim Thang" and the role that caused a "fever" on the big screen

After "Hai Phuong", Mai Cat Vi continued to try her hand at a completely different genre: horror films. The film "Bac Kim Thang" (2019) is a typical example. In this work, Cat Vi plays the role of Ut Lan, a mysterious and haunted gir.l in the story of a family with many dark secrets. With big round eyes, flexible expressions and the ability to portray fear and confusion in a divine way, Mai Cat Vi truly "brought to life" the character of Ut Lan, making the audience shiver every time she appeared.

The role of Ut Lan in "Bac Kim Thang" has created a fever in the film-loving community, especially horror fans. The audience has continuously praised Mai Cat Vi's acting, considering her the new "queen" of Vietnamese horror films. This excellent transformation has helped "Bac Kim Thang" become one of the most notable horror films of the year, contributing to affirming Mai Cat Vi's position as a chil.d actress capable of "carrying" all genres.

Causing a "fever" with the female lead role Ut Lan and the sadness of not being able to watch the movies she acted in

After the resounding success of "Hai Phuong", Mai Cat Vi did not rest on her laurels but continued to seek new challenges in her acting career. She unexpectedly tried her hand at a completely different and difficult film genre: horror films. In 2019, the audience witnessed a spectacular "transformation" of Mai Cat Vi in the film "Bac Kim Thang".

In this dark and mysterious work, Cat Vi was assigned the role of Ut Lan, a littl.e gir.l carrying terrifying mysteries, the key to unlocking a series of creepy events in a family full of dark secrets. From the moment Ut Lan appeared on screen, with her big round eyes but hiding fear and obsession, Mai Cat Vi immediately attracted all eyes. The ability to portray fear, confusion, and even complex inner emotions in a divine way made the character Ut Lan come to life in a frightening way. Every time she appeared, a creepy, spine-chilling atmosphere seemed to cover the entire theater, making the audience startled.

Mai Cat Vi's performance as Ut Lan is not only realistic but also full of magic, creating an irresistible attraction for the film, making the name Ut Lan the center of discussion among film connoisseurs. The audience constantly praised her natural talent, even affectionately calling Mai Cat Vi the new "queen" of Vietnamese horror films. This excellent transformation contributed greatly to the success of "Bac Kim Thang", making the film one of the most notable horror works of the year, and affirming Mai Cat Vi's position as a precious gem, a chil.d actress capable of "carrying" all genres, from breathtaking action to haunting horror.

However, the most special and somewhat ironic thing in Mai Cat Vi's career is the paradox of acting in horror films but never being allowed to go to the cinema to watch her own work. This comes from the age regulations of films, especially horror films that are often labeled C16 or even C18. At the time Mai Cat Vi participated in "Bac Kim Thang" or other horror films, she was too young to watch these films according to the law.

Few people think that a chil.d actor has to act out scary, creepy scenes, transform into characters with many psychological obsessions, but is not allowed to enjoy the fruits of her labor at the cinema. This is not only a rule but also a protection from the family and the production team, to ensure that her psychology is not affected by content that is not suitable for her age. However, this still creates a small regret for Mai Cat Vi, when she has to listen to compliments from the audience, see her images in the media without ever experiencing the feeling of watching a movie on the big screen.

Despite facing this somewhat adorable paradox, Mai Cat Vi continues to demonstrate her professionalism and passion for cinema. She constantly learns, improves her acting skills and is always ready to take on new challenges. With her innate talent, maturity through each role and a serious work ethic, Mai Cat Vi promises to go even further on her artistic path.
