Nguyen Quang Dung: Hospitalized for myocardial infarction, girlfriend is a "beautiful sister" who takes good care of him

Nguyen Quang Dung - a famous Vietnamese director, screenwriter and film producer - is known to the public as "crazy" Dung because of his unique creative style in cinema.

He is currently in a romantic relationship with singer Bui Lan Huong.

Nguyen Quang Dung was born in 1978 in Saigon, the son of writer Nguyen Quang Sang - known to generations of students through the work Ivory Comb.

Since childhood, the male director has been in contact with many famous writers, poets, and musicians of the previous generation. An interesting fact that few people know is that the song Mother is away by musician Trinh Cong Son was co-written by the young boy Nguyen Quang Dung.

Nguyen Quang Dung graduated with honors from the first class of the Directing Department of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Theatre and Cinema. In the early 2000s, after being accepted to work at TFS Film Studio, his name rose like a kite in the wind. The short film Con Ga Rooster won the Ho Chi Minh City Literature and Arts Award 2000-2003. Following were the films: Hon Truong Ba, Da Hang Thit (2006), Nu hon than chet (2009), Giai cuu than chet (2010), all of which left an impression on the audience.

In 2004, Nguyen Quang Dung wrote the soundtrack and played a supporting role in Nhung co gai le dai (Long-legged girl.s) directed by Vu Ngoc Dang.

In 2013, he exploded on the Vietnamese big screen with My Nhan Ke, earning 52 billion VND, 3 times the production cost, and was released in the US, Australia...

It is impossible not to mention the film Da Co Hoai Lang by Nguyen Quang Dung, which tells about the tragic life of Mr. Tu Lanh, played by Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh.

Nguyen Quang Dung has a knack for remakes (adapted from foreign blockbusters), with impressive revenue: Em la ba noi cua anh (2015) earned more than 100 billion VND, Thang nam ruc ro (2018) reached approximately 85 billion VND, and Tiec trang mau (2020) reached 175 billion VND...

Nguyen Quang Dung has been very successful in bringing the "Vietnamese soul" into his blockbuster films. From the setting, the actors' appearance to the dialogue, everything is naturally Vietnamized, making the film closer to the audience and different from the original work.

In 2023, his film Southern Forest Land attracted public attention, causing curiosity and controversy about the plot and new cast.

He shared with the media: "I keep in mind that I have to balance revenue and do what I like. My main motivation in pursuing this project for the past 7 years is still to do what I like. A big hit is great fun, but cinema also needs projects that don't make much profit, or even lose mone.y, but will be the premise for the future.

This film is bigger than the projects I have done such as Bloo.d Moon Party, Glorious Years... in terms of budget, effort and preparation time. We hope the work will make a good profit so that in the future, investors will be confident with big projects. For me, Southern Forest Land is such a test, to open up films of the same genre, such as Ivory Comb - adapted from my father's short story of the same name."

Famous for being a playboy, Nguyen Quang Dung is not very interested in marriage. However, his love life is quite complicated.

In August 2022, when Bui Lan Huong released the MV Mother's Dream - the soundtrack of the Mother's Dream project, Nguyen Quang Dung was the creative director. He commented that the female singer was experienced and serious in her work but still very dreamy.

Throughout the past time, the two have always accompanied each other on every journey. After episode 1 of Chi dep dap gio 2024, Nguyen Quang Dung shared a picture of himself watching on TV.

The director said that for nearly 30 years he has not watched TV except for football programs. However, there is one program that he has to watch from beginning to end, which is "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind" season 2, in which his girlfriend appears.

Before confirming his relationship with Bui Lan Huong, director Nguyen Quang Dung was suspected of dating many beauties. But he has not officially confirmed the relationship yet. Accordingly, the person that the audience suspects the most is supermodel Thanh Hang. It is not an exaggeration to say that Thanh Hang is Nguyen Quang Dung's "muse", because the supermodel continuously appears in the male director's famous films. This is also one of the reasons why the public has the right to suspect that the two have feelings for each other.

Hospitalized, girlfriend takes care from AZ

Recently, director Nguyen Quang Dung shared a clip recording his diary of his days in the hospital.

He said: "One day at work, I felt chest pai.n so I went to the doctor and found out I had a heart attac.k. Luckily, I found out early and was hospitalized for treatment.

I made this clip to talk about my health during the days I was in the hospital, at a time when I was on the verge of danger."

It is known that director Nguyen Quang Dung is staying at a 5-star, quite luxurious hospital. He said: "This is an unforgettable experience for me, about meals that are extremely expensive compared to a meal at a hospital.

At the hospital, I also ate three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At that time, the waiter would push the food to my room. The room I stayed in was a bit expensive, I think it was 4.9 million VND per room, but the good thing was that I was alone.

If I don't book a room and share with others, the price will be only 2 million. Meals at the hospital are more expensive than at a hotel. This is also a high-class hospital.

The reason I booked the whole room like that is because I have insurance, both public and private, so I can cover it. Besides, I have a lot of visitors so I'm afraid of affecting others.

I'm only staying for a few days so I'd like to book a room for convenience, with a bed for my family too."

In the clips recorded two days after surgery, director Nguyen Quang Dung looks quite healthy, fresh and energetic, showing that his health is recovering very quickly.

To achieve that, it was the great effort of his girlfriend Bui Lan Huong. Bui Lan Huong and her mother took turns taking care of and preparing nutritious food for director Nguyen Quang Dung.

The female singer is extremely skillful and capable in cooking. She often brings nutritious, delicious dishes, carefully prepared, sophisticated, and beautiful to look at. That is why director Nguyen Quang Dung rarely eats hospital meals and mainly eats food cooked by his girlfriend.

Director Nguyen Quang Dung said: "After I got a little better, my family brought me food. Huong and her mother also made many nutritious dishes for me."

Thanks to his girlfriend's nourishment, director Nguyen Quang Dung recovered very quickly. He said: "A few days after surgery, I filmed a clip because I felt more comfortable mentally."

Bui Lan Huong looks like a "roof of the house", only saying 3 words that Nguyen Quang Dung did not dare to argue after hearing An Nhi15:04:18 04/07/2023Since publicizing their feelings, directors Nguyen Quang Dung and Bui Lan Huong are not afraid to show their affection on social networks.
