Uyen An: Tran Thanh's sister, from the heroine of the hundred billion movie, now openly loves Phap Kieu

Huynh Uyen An - the face of 9X who used to quietly play the role of the masses, has now become a name that has attracted attention to Vietnamese cinema. Her journey is a testament to her persistent efforts and desire to prove herself, even though she bears the title "Tran Thanh's sister".

A determined starting point

Born in 1999 in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City, Huynh Uyen An grew up in a family environment with artistic traditions, but instead of "taking shortcuts", she chose the path of forging a methodical profession from the beginning. Since she was in high school, Uyen An has loved acting and often participates in cultural activities and skits at school. When she entered university, she decided to study Minh Nhi theater – which is considered the cradle of training many talented actors.

Without waiting for the completion of the school, Uyen An actively looked for opportunities in the early years of her apprenticeship. At the age of 18, she got her first role in the school web-drama The Girl From the Other Side. Even though it is just a small project, this is an important stepping stone to bring Uyen An out of the "comfort zone" and into a serious journey with acting.

In the years that followed, she regularly appeared in network series such as The Godfather, The Village of the Father, The Yin and Yang Eyes, The Evil Mother of the Angel Father... This is the period when Uyen An is almost "not sitting still", willing to take on small roles, even as backgrounds, just to gain more experience.

However, Uyen An's acting ability at this time is not highly appreciated. She often acts according to instinctive emotions, lacking calculation in expressions, dialogue and character psychological rhythm. Her appearance is also not really outstanding. Uyen An appeared in front of the camera with a plump appearance, simple style, prioritizing comfort over a well-groomed image.

It was this "calm" period that became an important foundation for her to accumulate experience. Uyen An did not start with a great aura, but she had the plus point of persistence and the spirit of learning. Every small project, every time it stands behind its seniors, every time it is commented... are all once she adjusts herself.

The breakthrough with "Mrs. Nu's House"

2023 marks a big turning point when Uyen An takes on the role of the female lead in Lady Nu's House. The work was a resounding success and brought Uyen An's name closer to the audience. The role helped her receive a nomination for Best Actress at the Vietnam Film Festival 2023 – an important milestone after many years of persevering in pursuing the profession.

In Tet 2024, she will continue to appear in Mai as Binh Minh – the daughter of the heroine played by Phuong Anh Dao. The continuous return to the screen made the audience start to pay more attention to the 25-year-old girl's ability.

Appearance "incense" thanks to discipline and positive changes

When she first started her career, Uyen An was once commented to have a plump and lovely face but not sharp enough to pop out among the young cast. However, she has always been loved for her friendly and approachable personality.

After a period of persevering in training and adjusting a scientific diet, the actress began to "transform". A slim waist, a slimmer face and a radiant demeanor help Uyen An be praised more and more attractively. She is confident to try more feminine and sexy fashion styles at events and receive many positive feedbacks.

Trying to get rid of the shadow of "Tran Thanh's sister"

Uyen An frankly admitted that the title "Tran Thanh's sister" is both an opportunity and a pressure. She had heard skepticism, had been scrutinized, had been put on the scales of comparison. But instead of backing down, she chose to focus on improving herself.

She said that as soon as she knew that her sister wanted to follow the profession, Tran Thanh supported but only briefly said: "Be self-reliant". Uyen An did not rely on her brother's reputation but quietly went to casting, playing the role of the masses without speaking and persevering in looking for opportunities.

The actress laughed when she recalled the early stages: "Mr. Thanh watched all the projects I had participated in, giving very direct comments. But I'm not sad, because when I first start the profession, I have to know where my weaknesses are to fix."

Aspiration to express one's own identity

Uyen An said that she has never limited herself to acting in films produced or directed by her brother. She wants to work with many other directors, try more types of roles, especially those that are psychologically heavy or villainous.

She also hopes that the audience will recognize her acting as "Huynh Uyen An", not from family relationships: "Me and Mr. Tran Thanh are family members, but I am also an actor. Having worked in the profession, it must be diverse. I don't want to be stereotyped into thinking that I'm only suitable for my brother's movies."

Career path is expanding

After Mrs. Nu's House and Mai, Uyen An continued to participate in The Price of Happiness and was chosen by director Vu Ngoc Dang to play the female lead in the movie The Proud Bride. She said that she is now more meticulous in analyzing characters, no longer acting instinctively like when she first started her career.

Although the roles are not too diverse, she wants to try her hand at many genres, especially those with psychological depth. Uyen An also acknowledged that having a famous brother helps her approach the profession faster, but what she aims for is still the recognition of the audience through strength.

Courage to face expectations and pressure

Talking about the comments surrounding the success of the film made by her brother, Uyen An did not compare revenue or put pressure on herself. She understands that everyone's career has ups and downs: "It's impossible to always be at the top. Every project is a journey. If it's good, it's the result of the whole crew. If it is not up to expectations, it means that we need to try harder."

A long but promising journey

After 6 years in the profession, from the days of quietly playing the role of the masses to standing in the position of the female lead, Uyen An has proven her progress with a demanding attitude and constant efforts.

The journey ahead is still long, but with the current momentum, Uyen An can completely become one of the bright faces of Vietnamese cinema – who not only appears under the shadow of "Tran Thanh's sister", but is a real actor named Huynh Uyen An.
