At a recent cinetour for the film project "Bus: One-Way Journey," actress Van Trang attracted attention when she shared her experience of exploring the spiritual world to perfect her role.
Finding a glimmer of light amidst the spiritual world.
In the film, Van Trang plays Chi – a character with profound inner depth and a crucial role in connecting the various storylines. To fully embody the character, the actress revealed that she proactively researched spiritual aspects, thereby building the character's psychology in a more logical and convincing way.
Van Trang shared her insightful perspective on the concept of "spiritual healer" during her research: "Just as spiritual healers often help souls find peace, the more I researched, the more I saw them as a beacon of light in the spiritual realm. That beacon attracts souls, helping them find liberation by performing good deeds."
This mindset helped her understand Chi's actions and mindset when confronted with supernatural phenomena in the film. Instead of simply exploiting fear, Van Trang chose an approach based on empathy and the journey of resolving lingering obsessions.
"Bus: A One-Way Journey" – Where spirituality intertwines with romance.
Officially released on March 20, 2026, Bus: One-Way Journey is the latest work by director Luk Vân. Belonging to the spiritual-romantic genre, the film doesn't follow the typical path of sensational horror films but focuses on exploring human values and the emotions of young people.
The plot revolves around a strange bus journey – where the boundary between reality and the afterlife becomes blurred. On this bus, personal stories are gradually unraveled, exposing painful hidden aspects such as school bullying. Through this, the film conveys a message about letting go and forgiveness to find peace of mind.
A solid foundation for acting talent among a young cast.
Despite featuring many rising young talents like Vinh Dam, Huynh Minh Kien, Phi Phuong Anh, and Le Hoang Long, the presence of seasoned actors such as Van Trang, Meritorious Artist Huu Chau, and Mai Thu Huyen is considered a "guarantee" of the film's quality.
In the film, Van Trang's portrayal of Chi plays a crucial role in maintaining the emotional rhythm of the entire movie. With her extensive experience, she delivers a restrained yet powerful performance, especially in scenes requiring complex psychological depth. Many viewers believe that Van Trang's appearance provides a solid foundation, balancing the freshness, though sometimes immaturity, of her younger co-stars.
The allure of real-life experiences
Actors sharing details about their role preparation, especially those related to spirituality, is always a topic that sparks public curiosity. Van Trang's serious approach to researching her role demonstrates her appreciation for her profession and her respect for her audience.
Currently, Bus: One Way Trip continues its journey of captivating audiences in theaters nationwide. Van Trang's heartfelt sharing not only contributes to promoting the film but also opens up a fresh perspective on how Vietnamese cinema explores supernatural themes: using spirituality to tell the story of the human heart.
