Tran Thanh's Tet movie: No Hari Won invited, no profanity

Recently, Tran Thanh held an introduction to the movie Mai - a work released in theaters on Lunar New Year 2024. In this movie, Tran Thanh is an investor, director and actor.

The male artist said he devoted a lot of effort to Mai because this is a project he has cherished for 2 years. Before filming began in 2023, Tran Thanh repeatedly revised the script to get the most attractive storyline to send to the audience.

"The process of conceiving the script lasted 2 years. It also took me a long time to find the most suitable female lead to play the role of Mai. By the way, I also want to apologize to the actresses who came to me for casting. But I don't have the luck to cooperate with you," Tran Thanh said.

Tran Thanh also pointed out the difference when he made the movie Mai and when he invested in the movie Southern Forest Land.

"There is a difference between the movie I invested in and my movie. I invested in Southern Forest Land, but the project owner is another party. Mai is my movie, invested and directed entirely by me. .

This is my brainchild, a film in which I decided everything about the actors and budget. When Mai was about to come out, I was nervous and pressured like I was about to send my child off to study abroad," Tran Thanh said.

Revealing the budget spent on Mai, Tran Thanh said: "I invested quite a bit of money to get the most special, quality images. I rented many good cameras and rebuilt the apartment." , pay extra salaries for the actors... The movie was expected to be filmed for 30 days but there were 47 days left over, so the cost increased a lot. A romantic movie with a budget of nearly 50 billion VND is quite a lot (laughs)."

In particular, Uyen An went to the casting herself and was not invited by me from the beginning. In addition, the film also has many new faces, typically the female lead Phuong Anh Dao," Tran Thanh said.

Movie Mai marks Tuan Tran's second time starring in Tran Thanh's movie, after his role as Quan in The Godfather. Regarding the "favoring Tuan Tran" controversy, Tran Thanh explained that he appreciates the professionalism, sincerity and seriousness of his junior's way of working.

"I can absolutely invite HIEUTHUHAI, MONO or any other hot boy to act in a movie, but the problem is to fit the role. Like Hari Won, my wife, I also don't invite actors to act in my movies. I don't choose actors because of them. Selling tickets is good because of the intimacy in real life," he said.

Initially, Mai was introduced as a film with dark colors. However, after the script editing process, the film was revealed to have many brighter details.

Tran Thanh affirmed that because Mai is a Tet film, "it is impossible for the audience to go to the theater crying". He also said the film brings an "emotional cycle" to the audience, has introspective, tear-jerking scenes and is also full of humorous scenes.

"There will be controversy everywhere, no one is born to please everyone. But I believe there are audiences who always love me. I also try to change every day to improve myself. This moment I feel comfortable and confident to introduce Mai to the audience. I hope everyone will receive it positively. Mai is a different color tone, full of romance, not noisy or swearing like Mrs. Nu's House", the director said. good.
