Truong Giang is making a Lunar New Year film; will Nha Phuong be given a special role?

After years focusing on television and entertainment programs, Truong Giang officially returns to the Lunar New Year film scene with the project "My Father's House, One Room" .

The film quickly attracted attention not only because it marked the comedian's return to the big screen after more than 5 years, but also because it was a rare occasion where Truong Giang and Nha Phuong, a married couple, participated in the project together in important behind-the-scenes roles, creating a notable turning point in both of their careers.

Unlike his familiar image as a comedian, this time Truong Giang is taking on multiple key roles simultaneously: director, screenwriter, and producer. This is considered a risky decision, as Lunar New Year films are always a fierce battleground with pressure for box office revenue and expectations from the general audience. However, Truong Giang stated that he doesn't prioritize pure humor but rather wants to tell a relatable family story, stemming from his own personal life experiences.

My Father's House, One Room revolves around the father-son relationship in a cramped living space, where generational conflicts and differences in thinking constantly arise. Instead of creating laughter with familiar comedic elements, the film focuses on everyday emotions, touching on things that many Vietnamese families have experienced but rarely talk about. Truong Giang admitted that this project carries many personal emotions, because family is always his top priority.

The film's unique aspect lies in the quiet but crucial role of Nha Phuong. Not appearing in front of the camera, the actress takes on the role of Casting Director – a less-noticed position but one that directly impacts the film's essence. Selecting actors who fit the story's spirit, especially those with psychological depth, is considered a decisive factor in the success of a family film.

According to her, Nhã Phương initially had no intention of getting deeply involved in the project. She only read the script and offered suggestions to her husband as a companion. However, when Trường Giang suggested she try her hand at casting, Nhã Phương considered it and decided to accept. For her, this was not only about supporting her husband but also an opportunity to learn and expand her role in film production.

During the filming process, Nha Phuong expressed her concerns, especially regarding the lead female role played by a young actress. Placing trust in a new face always carries risks, particularly in a Lunar New Year project aimed at a wide audience. However, after the film was completed, she said she felt somewhat relieved seeing the young actress convey the emotions and spirit of the character as desired.

The collaboration between Truong Giang and Nha Phuong in this new role shows a different direction from their usual image as a couple appearing together on the red carpet or in lighthearted entertainment projects. Both seem to be choosing a more enduring partnership, focusing on the quality and depth of the product rather than superficial glamour.

For audiences, "My Father's House, One Room" is expected to bring a different flavor to the Lunar New Year film season, where laughter comes not only from comedic situations but also from empathy. The film aims for a warm atmosphere, suitable for the spirit of family reunion at the beginning of the year, while also prompting reflections on family – a seemingly familiar theme that never gets old.

Scheduled for release on the first day of the Lunar New Year 2026, "My Father's House, One Room" not only marks Truong Giang's return to film but also demonstrates Nha Phuong's transition from actress to behind-the-scenes role. Whether it will be a success remains to be seen at the box office, but this project clearly shows the couple's seriousness and new ambitions in their professional journey.
