Tran Thanh was criticized by the audience if he replaced NS Mac Can with Uncle Ba Phi "Southern Forest Land"

The film project Dat Rung Phuong Nam is probably the most anticipated film project in 2023. Not only because it gathers a powerful team, but also has the meaning of cultural and historical life, as before the original version. television has performed so excellently that it has left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience.

After nearly 2,000 days of preparation, the movie "Southern Forest Land" officially opened with the first scenes in Tra Su Melaleuca forest. "Southern Forest Land" is a project invested and produced by artist Tran Thanh, directed by Nguyen Quang Dung.

Since the announcement of the movie project "Southern Forest Land", the audience and experts have expected this work to revive Vietnamese cinemas after a year of catastrophic failure. The fact is that before the appearance of "Southern Forest Land", the domestic film market had witnessed many bad horsebacks when producers spent tens of billions of dong to invest in making films, but most of them made a profit. on poor revenue.

Typically, the movie "The Legend of King Dinh" sold tickets for only 42 million VND; movie "The 3rd" by Ly Nha Ky invested 33 billion dong and earned 1 billion; movie "578: S.hot of a madman" starring H'hen Niê invested 60 billion dong and earned more than 3 billion dong.

These terrible low numbers make the audience somewhat distrust Vietnamese movies, and at the same time expect big projects like "Southern Forest Land" to quickly regain their position for Vietnamese films right in their own home. not be overwhelmed by foreign films as it is now.

Some pictures taken during the opening ceremony showed that the cast involved included familiar faces of the Vietnamese cinema village such as Meritorious Artist Cong Ninh, Kieu Trinh, Tran Thanh, Tuan Tran, Huynh Dong, Hua Vi Van, etc. ..

Although they have appeared, but the roles of the above artists are still a mystery to the audience. This is probably also what makes viewers most curious about this movie project.

Recently, the social network TikTok spread the behind-the-scenes moments of the movie Dat Rung Phuong Nam. In the clip with the appearance of Tran Thanh in the shape of a headband wrapped in a bandana, wearing a ba ba shirt was immediately noticed. Also from this clip, the information that Tran Thanh is the one to take on the role of Uncle Ba Phi has appeared.

Uncle Ba Phi was originally one of the favorite characters of the previous television series Dat Phuong Nam. On the film, he has a humorous personality, often telling playful, witty stories. This character also often has imaginative stories, associated with a cultural feature of the Southern region and creates a highlight for the Southern Land.

Although only the first images, but Tran Thanh was immediately commented by a part of the audience that he did not fit the role. Instead, the one who can perform better is said to be artist Trung Dan or artist Thanh Nam. Viewers said that Tran Thanh would be hard pressed to overcome the "big shadow" from the artist Mac Can, who took on this role of the TV version.

Some related comments:

- Uncle Ba Phi is at least Thanh Nam or Trung Dan that makes sense.

- For the 8x, 9x generation, it's like a remake, the younger generation 10x and above, this is a brand new movie, please look forward to it in a new way.

- Tran Thanh playing the role of Ut Luc Lam would probably be more suitable. I hope so, but Uncle Ba Phi's role is seriously criticized.

- When I saw the video, I immediately thought of Uncle Ba Phi, which many friends said was Ut Luc Lam.

Artist Mac Can is inherently associated with the image of Uncle Ba Phi. He is considered as a person capable of fully embodying the spirit of this character, making it the most vivid and soulful. Amidst the years of bombardment in Dat Phuong Nam, Uncle Ba Phi was like a person who blew a "new wind", bringing a joyful atmosphere to everyone with interesting stories.

To remake another version of the once "legendary" movie like Dat Phuong Nam has never been easy. This is not only a difficulty for filmmakers, but also a great pressure for actors to re-enact the hit role, which has left a deep impression on the audience. Therefore, it is understandable that the public received the news that Tran Thanh could accept this role, creating controversy.

The first scene of "Southern Forest Land" will recreate a typical floating market of the Southwest region in the 1920s with more than 300 mass actors. From the image shared by the film crew, you can see a superficial market gate, hand-painted shop signs with ancient features such as "Kim Sang Gold - Pawn Shop"... Forest canal system Melaleuca also helps the film crew stage dozens of boats and boats to gather, creating a Western-style floating market.

Southern Forest Land will revolve around the adventurous journey of the b.oy An, who unfortunately loses his mother and has to find his father. Following An, the audience will experience the rich nature, cultural beauty of the land of Nam Ky Luc Tinh, the farmers clinging to the forest, the patriotism and resistance to the French of the people in the early 20th century. In addition, aspects of family, friendship, teacher-student love, humanity, and patriotism are also shown.

Phuong Nam Forest Land is currently a project that has received a lot of attention from the audience.
