Playing a firefighter for the first time, actor Xuan Phuc faced breathtaking and arduous scenes that left him completely exhausted, as if his "soul had left his body."
"Going Towards the Fire," directed by Tran Thanh Huy, takes the theme of firefighters and rescue workers to tell the story of one of the professions considered most dangerous in the world .
"Heading Towards the Fire" is a film that pays tribute to the great sacrifices of firefighters.
"My purpose in making this film is to honor firefighters and their work in fire prevention, firefighting, and rescue. My team and I made this film with all our admiration and respect for firefighters, and with all our understanding of the pain of those who have gone through loss," Tran Thanh Huy expressed.
Director Tran Thanh Huy said that when he started the project, he always prioritized authenticity, which led to many challenges throughout the filming process.
"It's safe to say this film embodies all the most challenging aspects of filmmaking, with numerous complex large-scale scenes such as apartment building fires, market fires, alley fires, and rescue operations in treacherous terrains, deep rivers, and high mountains... The film features very complex scenes, on a scale comparable to feature films," the director shared.
Playing the role of Captain Toan Thang, Xuan Phuc said that he and the other actors went through such strenuous filming that they were "exhausted" just to create polished footage, despite their very short screen time in each episode.
The cast had to endure some breathtaking scenes.
The actor said that to film the scene of carrying victims out of the fire, the entire crew had to shoot the scene 10 times to get multiple camera angles. Only when the scene was completed were all the actors allowed to remove their props, masks, and oxygen tanks; by then, everyone was exhausted, as if their souls had left their bodies.
"I've acted in many action films before, but this is truly the most challenging experience I've ever had. It's also the first time I've been so exhausted while working on a film," Xuan Phuc shared.
He also revealed that there were scenes where he had to directly confront real flames, and it was in these moments that the actor truly understood the dangers that firefighters always face while on duty.
Xuan Phuc got goosebumps when he read the news about the apartment building fire at 5 am.
Lãnh Thanh confided that when filming rescue scenes, having to venture into disaster areas and witness scenes he had never seen before in his life, he felt a heavy weight on his heart.
"Fire is always unpredictable, and people are careless; this carelessness can lead to serious and unforeseen consequences," the handsome actor confided. After filming wrapped and while awaiting the broadcast, the actor shared that all he wished for was peace and safety for everyone.
Lãnh Thanh is hesitant to film "intimate scenes" with female co-stars because he's afraid of being beaten. 0
