Actor Tuan Tu:

Taking on the lead role, actor Tuan Tu presented an image that was both down-to-earth and relatable, yet also strong and resilient in his work. The actor shared his feelings about embodying a local police officer .

- The film "With You, That Place Is Peaceful" was released on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the People's Police, and it clearly reflects the role of the grassroots police force. In your opinion, what gives the film its weight?

- "With you, that place is peaceful" is not just an entertainment work, but also carries the mission of propaganda, portraying the image of the people's police officer in the new era - close to the people, understanding the people, and serving the people. The current social context, with its many complex issues, requires grassroots police officers to both maintain strict discipline and be skillful in their interactions to gain the trust of the people. The film accurately reflects these requirements, and I feel honored to play Huy - a commune police officer, contributing to conveying this message.

- Can you share a little about your role in the film?

- My character, Huy, is an upright and resolute commune police officer who also knows how to be tactful when necessary. He frequently faces the fine line between reason and emotion. Huy's daily work involves resolving security and social order issues in the locality. The conflict culminates when Huy discovers that his brother-in-law is the manipulator of a "special interest group" and behind many wrongdoings. Fighting for the peace of the people while simultaneously confronting a deeply conflicted family relationship makes Huy a multifaceted, complex character who constantly faces numerous challenges.

- What was so special about the film's script that made you agree to participate?

- To be honest, when I read the script, I was... overwhelmed because it was so difficult. The dialogue contained many technical terms, and it had to be both propagandistic and gentle, relatable enough for the audience to easily understand. This was the biggest pressure I had to overcome. But that's what made it interesting, because besides the dramatic investigative storyline, the work also cleverly weaves in everyday, relatable stories.

In particular, the film vividly reflects one of the major policies of the Party and State: deploying regular police officers to communes. It also takes place against the backdrop of pressing current events such as the reorganization of administrative units; the fight against counterfeit and substandard goods, unsafe food, and the implementation of VNeID... These are topics close to everyday life, but not easy to bring to the screen.

- You spent 10 years working in the police force. Surely that gave you an advantage in this role?

- It's true that I've worked in the field for 10 years, but mainly in the areas of ceremonies, culture, and performing arts. I don't have in-depth expertise in community police work, and I've had little direct contact with the lives of people at the grassroots level. Playing the role of Huy, I truly understood the hardships, difficulties, and pressures faced by grassroots police officers. They are the people closest to the community, having to deal with daily problems and enforce the law in a way that is both reasonable and compassionate. "With him, that place is peaceful" will give viewers a clearer understanding of their quiet but challenging work.

- And was embodying the role of a local police officer a real challenge for you?

- It was very challenging. I wasn't used to how a commune police officer interacts with the people, colleagues, or local authorities. I had to learn everything from scratch. Fortunately, director and Meritorious Artist Danh Dung guided me meticulously, and especially the police force provided a lot of professional support, helping me gradually grasp the nuances and language I needed to express. Once I got the hang of it, everything felt more natural.

- Is this also your first leading role in a political drama series airing on VTV1?

- Yes, that's why it was so stressful, to the point where I lost sleep and appetite for half a month. This is the most difficult role I've ever played. Being a police officer is hard enough, but being a commune police officer is even harder because of the enormous workload and the need to handle things skillfully to maintain stability in the area. This pressure made me constantly remind myself to work twice as hard so as not to disappoint the crew and the audience.

- The film is set in the present day, when the country is undertaking many major political tasks. What do you think makes this topical element so appealing?

- I think that's a big plus. When a film's story closely follows real life and reflects major policies of the Party and State, such as deploying regular police officers to communes and reorganizing administrative units, the audience will clearly feel the closeness and relevance. However, if not done skillfully, it can easily fall into slogan-driven, rigidity. I believe "With You, That Place Is Peaceful" has chosen a simple, gentle approach, just enough to convey the message without losing the emotional connection with the viewers.

- During the filming process, did you have any memorable experiences?

- This role involves a lot of physical activity, so there were quite a few unusual "accidents," like my clothes tearing during filming. But I still find this role "very enjoyable" because I got to fully immerse myself in the character, experience a very different perspective on the local police force, and challenge myself in a genre I had never acted in before.

- We would like to express our sincere gratitude to actor Tuan Tu!
