Phuong My Chi "played big" in the movie Hundred Billion danced herself in a burnt dress, no CGI needed

There are artists who grow up in the eyes of the audience, but not everyone retains their own qualities when they grow up.

Phuong My Chi, from a "folk song girl" who once caused a fever in a music contest, is now affirming her position as a prominent young artist in 2025. She has both acted in movies, performed in international programs, and participated in reality shows in Vietnam. And the most special thing: everything comes to the place, nothing is done through the speaker.

Once emerged as a "folk song phenomenon" from a reality TV show, Phuong My Chi has now entered a new stage in her career – mature, brave and full of purpose. The Gia Tien House film project is a clear milestone for this transformation, when she is no longer a "child star" or a mere popular face, but a serious artist, carefully selected and fully attached to her role.

Right from the press conference to introduce the film at the beginning of the year, Phuong My Chi affirmed the reason for accepting the invitation to participate in Gia Tien House: "Because of Mr. Huynh Lap and because of the national cultural factor." A short but clear statement about the profession – she believes in kind people and respects traditional cultural values. It doesn't stop at words. From promotional activities to side events such as "Mother's pancakes" on March 7, where the cast made their own pancakes to invite the audience, Phuong My Chi was always present as an active member of the film crew, never keeping the distance of a "guest star".

The success of Gia Tien House – earning 225 billion VND and becoming Huynh Lap's first hundred billion film – is not only a commercial achievement, but also a memorable career milestone for Phuong My Chi as an actress. But more than revenue, what makes people in the world and the audience admire is the investment and commitment to the role. In a scene that requires high behind-the-scenes techniques, Phuong My Chi performs a dance segment in a burning dress by herself without stunts or technical use. Not "playing big to attract attention", this is the choice of an artist who understands that if you want to bring real emotions, you have to accept real commitment.

While his personal schedule is dense – both participating in reality shows in the country, and being present in many Asian countries within the framework of the Sing! Asia – Phuong My Chi still arranges time to appear at all events of Gia Tien House. Even on the closing night of the Da Nang Film Festival on July 5, an optional event, she was still present to accompany the crew. As a solo artist, she does not separate herself from the collective – a rare professional and humble attitude.

On the international stage of Sing! Asia, Phuong My Chi continues to impress in another way – sophisticated, brave and bold. She does not choose a flashy direction or follow modern performance technology to attract attention. Instead, she brings Vietnamese folk songs to audiences throughout Asia through modern and well-thought-out mixes. From Ly Bac Bo mashup, Rice Grain Rock to Buon Trang, each performance is a skillful combination of traditional spirit and a new way of expression, in line with international tastes without losing the cultural essence. China Daily once commented that she has "made the local cultural color bloom", and many international audiences favorably call her voice "dolphin voice" – a cute but respectful nickname.

Since the spotlight of her childhood, Phuong My Chi has faced skepticism: how far can a teenage folk singer go in the modern entertainment market? Her answer does not lie in the big statements, but in every step. Not transforming, not following the trend of the moment, she chooses to renew herself from the root – keeping the folk spirit, but changing the form to suit the times. It is a path that few people choose because it is difficult to walk, but it is sustainable because of that.

At the age of 22, Phuong My Chi does not need to be labeled "versatile". What she shows – from music, cinema to international stages – is enough to affirm one thing: she is an artist of the new generation, but does not follow the trend, but works with her own alertness, enthusiasm and identity.
