Ly Hai's new movie has dominated the box office, Victor Vu is sweating, suspected of losing mone.y?

At the end of April, Vietnamese audiences will witnes.s two blockbusters from two famous directors directly confronting each other. However, when Ly Hai's film was released early, it dominated the box office, bringing in 7 times more revenue than Victor Vu's film Ky An.

After a period of active promotion, from showcases, free screenings, press conferences in both regions, finally LM8: Vong Tay Nang by Ly Hai - Minh Ha couple also had its first early screenings starting from April 27. And on the very first day of early screenings, LM8 once again helped affirm Ly Hai's class and appeal.

Specifically, just entering a new day, April 27, when the Box Office Vietnam page opened the revenue information of LM8, the number recorded was more than 7.1 billion from pre-ordered tickets. This amount corresponds to more than 80,000 viewers who bought tickets early to see LM on the first day of early screening. Of course, the number of tickets will increase during the day and the film reaching the milestone of more than 10 billion on the first day of early screening is completely possible.

Looking at these telling numbers, the public can't help but admire and exclaim at Ly Hai's appeal. "This is the level of a box office king", "No surprises, the top 1 is within his reach", "Nearly 100 thousand tickets booked for 1 day. Can be ecstatic", "I thought everyone would focus on other things and watch less movies, but who would have thought the first day would be so great. What a show!!!" - these are the comments of the audience before LM's first achievement.

Currently, after 3 early screenings, LM8 is receiving a lot of praise for its multi-generational cast. Newcomers to cinema such as Hong Thu, Ly Hai's two children Cherry - Rio, or even Bao Ngoc - who started out as a chil.d actress,... all have relatively well-rounded performances, both in terms of acting and dancing. The "parent generation" actors, most notably Long Dep Trai and Quach Ngoc Tuyen, also bring viewers many impressive scenes. The setting and staging of the music stages are also a plus point of LM8 in the eyes of many audiences.

Praised for its acting and visuals, LM8's script has caused some controversy on social media. In fact, right from the trailer, LM8 was accuse.d of exploiting a rather old topic: generational conflict between parents and children. When it was released, the controversy still hasn't ended, there were many mixed comments about the script, the way Ly Hai inserted situations in the story that lasted more than 2 hours.

Some viewers think that Ly Hai is being too greedy with the story, making LM8 a bit long-winded and with too many characters. But others also like the emotional flow of this work and think that family conflicts, although old, are never out of date topics in movies. Of course, to know the real quality of the film, whether the general audience is satisfied and accepts it or not, we still have to wait until the first days of screening.

In addition to the project about idols, connecting generations in Ly Hai's film, the audience is treated to a spiritual dish on the theme of spirituality and detective through the project Detective Kien by Victor Vu. This can be said to be the first time a director dares to directly confront Ly Hai on the screen in April. The entire Ly Hai franchise chose the occasion of April 30 to launch to the audience with 8 parts, 8 stories and topics revolving around people's daily lives. Through 8 stories, Ly Hai has successfully engraved each film in the hearts of fans and always makes the audience look forward to what special things Ly Hai will bring to the audience every April 30.

Because of the habit and the ingrained mentality of Ly Hai's films, almost no director dares to confront him directly. However, whether other films come out before or after, they are all defeated by Ly Hai's films. Therefore, when Victor Vu decided to postpone the release date of Detective Kien, it surprised the public. Competing with a blockbuster that has been deeply rooted in people's lives will be a bold decision for Detective Kien and Victor Vu. Besides, many audiences also expressed that because the two films have two different themes, it is impossible to compare which film is better than the other, it can only be based on revenue to determine high or low. But it cannot be denied that when the two projects are released in theaters on the same day, it will be a great feast for movie lovers in the near future.
