“Claws” is a new work by director Le Thanh Son, which has been in the making for 7 years. The film features a cast of famous actors such as Thao Tam, Quoc Khanh... especially Tuan Tran.
Tuan Tran rose to fame in the movie “Bo Gia” which grossed 427 billion VND by Tran Thanh. Playing the role of Quan, Tuan Tran was praised for his natural and lively acting ability. His ability to get into character, deliver emotional dialogues, and natural physical acting helped Tuan Tran have an impressive role as Quan.
Since “Bo gia”, Tuan Tran has continuously had roles in films with “hundred billion revenue”, such as Ut Luc Lam in “Dat rung phuong nam” and Duong in the film “Mai”. After 3 projects with “huge” revenue, Tuan Tran is expected to be the new “million dollar actor” of the big screen, following the brands that Thai Hoa, Tran Thanh and Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc once had.
However, the new movie “Claws” was released on June 7 but is being far behind foreign movies in terms of showings at theater systems. It was noted that on June 12-13, the showtimes at theaters were dominated by the Thai movie “Foreign Assets”, which is earning 31 billion VND (data on Box Office Vietnam).
On June 13, “Claws” only had 1-2 screenings, even on par with “Flip Side 7: A Wish” - a film that has been in theaters for over a month now.
With this screening, the revenue of “Claws” will be a shock to director Le Thanh Son, as he had expected the film to earn 300 billion VND. As of the afternoon of June 21, the revenue of “Claws” on Box Office Vietnam was 3.1 billion VND.
This is also Tuan Tran's work facing the risk of box office failure after 3 consecutive "huge" grossing films.
In late April and early May, another “million dollar actor” of Vietnamese cinema, Thai Hoa, also had a setback with the film “The Price of Happiness” produced by former model Xuan Lan.
"The Price of Happiness" with its comprehensive script, and being overwhelmed by "Flip Side 7: A Wish", suffered heavy losses when leaving theaters.
This is also a rare project that Thai Hoa participated in but suffered losses. Before “The Price of Happiness”, Thai Hoa participated in “Con Nhót nhớt chồng” - a work with the participation of Thu Trang and Tien Luat, although it did not win big, it still reached the milestone of 80 billion VND.
The “million dollar actors” of the big screen also include Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Kaity Nguyen, Kieu Minh Tuan... Currently, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc has turned to singing and is spending time studying abroad. Meanwhile, Kaity Nguyen has just been caught up in a scandal over dropping out of a role in a film project.
Kaity Nguyen’s most recent work is “The Last Wife,” which earned 97 billion VND domestically, then reached 100 billion VND when it was released in the US. Despite its certain appeal, “The Last Wife,” directed by Victor Vu, like many other Vietnamese films, has been criticized for its weak script, plot, and character psychology.
Kieu Minh Tuan has recently spent a lot of time on reality game shows like “2 Days 1 Night”. In 2023, Kieu Minh Tuan debuted with the work “Anonymous Person” but was criticized for its superficial script. The work has not shown Kieu Minh Tuan’s new strength.
Tran Thanh is still the most prominent name in the cast of "hundred billion actors" of Vietnamese cinema. He holds many different positions, from producer, director to actor. In each work he produces and directs, Tran Thanh always has roles that are praised for their emotions and acting style.
