Tran Thanh "ran out of capital": comedies are still "making money" thanks to one thing?

Tran Thanh's film "The Four Avengers" set a record for Tet revenue, but it was controversial in terms of quality. Despite attracting a large number of viewers, many people think that the film lacks highlights and is difficult to overcome other heavyweights.

On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2025, Tran Thanh's comedy "The Four Quarters" made the Vietnamese box office explode with a huge sales boost. From the first day of its premiere on the 1st of Tet, the film broke all records in terms of revenue, with a figure of 30 billion VND, not only surpassing Vietnamese films at the same time but also reaching the highest mark in the history of box office revenue on the opening day. However, while the film has achieved success in terms of sales, the quality of the film is becoming a controversial topic.

One of the important factors that help the "Four Warriors" achieve success in terms of revenue is the prominence of Tran Thanh's brand, especially during the Tet film season. Every year, the audience knows Tran Thanh as a person who is able to create movies that are both entertaining and while reflecting profound social issues. However, with this film, the outstanding entertainment factor is not enough to make up for the shortcomings in the script and acting.

Many viewers and critics have expressed their disappointment with this film. Some comments on social networks called this "Tran Thanh's worst movie", and said that the comedy pieces in the film were too boring, lifeless, with nothing new in the content. The famous comedian cast of the film, including Tran Thanh, Le Giang, Le Duong Bao Lam and Uyen An, was unable to salvage the blandness of the script.

The love story in the film - a three-way relationship - is considered to lack depth and not attractive enough. The film also does not make a strong impression with contemplative messages or feverish lines like Tran Thanh's previous films.

It is worth noting that despite the sky-high sales, the development of the movie "The Fourth Quarter" in the following days is difficult. The number of screenings of the film is showing signs of decreasing, while other films, such as Thu Trang's "Billion Silver Kiss", have recorded significant revenue growth. According to data from Box Office Vietnam, the revenue of "The Fourth Soldier" did not maintain a strong upward momentum while Thu Trang's film is having a big breakthrough.

Despite achieving success in terms of revenue, Tran Thanh has not been able to overcome some major obstacles in the "Revenge Four". One of the biggest problems is the word-of-mouth factor - which, according to box office experts, is a very important factor that determines the long-term success of a film.

Unlike Tran Thanh's previous films, such as "The Godfather" or "Mai", which had an extremely good word-of-mouth effect thanks to its profound content and strong social messages, "The Revenge Four" encountered ridicule from a large audience. Many people think that the film is only noisy and lacks highlights, even though it has the participation of favorite names in the Vietnamese comedy industry.

With a simple script, the film does not delve into social or emotional issues but only follows humor and lack of depth. Therefore, although it brings laughter, the audience does not feel anything impressive after leaving the theater.

Although Tran Thanh's film "The Fourth Quarter" can cause a box office fever thanks to its impressive sales, the quality of the film is controversial. Although a film has high sales, if it does not create a positive effect from viewers and does not make a lasting impression, is it really worth being proud of?

The development of the film in the following days will show whether Tran Thanh can overcome obstacles in his own work. The answer may depend not only on the revenue, but also on how the audience feels about the quality of the film in their hearts.
