The movie has Hoai Linh confronting Red Rain, Trung Lan says 1 harsh declaration of war!

In the revenue race for the 2/9 holiday season, 2 movies "Get Rich With Ghosts 2" and "Red Rain" are confronting each other tensely. Recently, the director of "Getting Rich With Ghosts" made a statement about Red Rain, making the box office race even more fierce.

In the bubbling atmosphere of the box office on the 2/9 holiday, an unexpected confrontation took place between two Vietnamese cinema works: the masterpiece Red Rain and the horror comedy Get Rich with Ghosts 2: The Battle of the Pearls. After Ghost Bride rescheduled its release, the Vietnamese film market became the playground for these two films, creating a battle that was predicted to be extremely tense. However, when looking at the numbers, everything seems to have fallen right from the starting line.

As of 10 p.m. on August 30, Red Rain has achieved a terrible revenue of 293.5 billion VND, a figure comparable to top blockbusters such as Mai and Tran Thanh's Revenge Quartet. In contrast, Get Rich with Ghost 2, despite the presence of a box office guarantee name like Hoai Linh, only modestly earned 20.1 billion VND. Although this number is not bad if standing alone and equivalent to many other hit films, when placed next to Red Rain, it has created a real "unbalanced battle", making many people worried about the fate of the movie with Hoai Linh.

Shocking 'declaration of war': Admiring the opponent is a good movie

In the face of grim comparisons from public opinion, director Trung Lon of Getting Rich with Ghosts 2 made a statement that was likened to a surprise "declaration of war". When the reporter asked about the unbalanced fight, he immediately said: "I admire Red Rain, this is a movie that deserves to be spread. My film is an entertainment movie, I don't dare to compare with Red Rain in terms of revenue or quality." This word is not a surrender, but absolute respect for an excellent work of art.

Trung Lun's "declaration of war" is that he affirms his own position and does not enter into a meaningless comparison. Instead of confronting, he made a humane appeal: "I just hope that the audience will go to the theater to watch the movie Red Rain, if there is still time, support Get Rich with Ghost 2 so that Vietnamese cinema can go up and develop together". This is a smart promotion strategy, both show humility and encourage the audience to support both films so that the Vietnamese film market is more vibrant.

A Different Look at the War of Civilizations

This point of view also received the approval of Artist Hoai Linh. In a media meeting, the veteran actor once shared that today's audience has a more delicate "taste for enjoyment". "Speaking a little on the sidelines, for example, recently there is Red Rain, which is a revolutionary war movie, but the effects and revenue are too terrible. The effects and reviews of the film are too good. The audience recognizes the beauty of the director, script and cast," he said. This comment is not only a compliment to Red Rain, but also an acknowledgment that a quality cinematic work, regardless of genre, will be well received by the audience.

From another perspective, the fact that Vietnamese films are released at the same time shows the strong development of the market. Red Rain and Get Rich with Ghost 2 pursue two different themes, bringing opposing emotions and targeting different audiences. This affirms the diversity of creativity of filmmakers, bringing many suitable spiritual options when going to theaters. The revenue war between the two films is not a "life-and-death" confrontation, but a healthy competition, together promoting the development of the country's cinema.

With extreme rigor and perfectionism, he creates hundreds of billions of films but also causes many behind-the-scenes conflicts.
