Huong Tuoi 'Weekend Meeting': I'm stressed because I wear diamonds and gold when acting

T movieheart rescue station brings together a "huge" cast in the "VFC universe" such as: People's Artist Thu Ha, Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong, Hong Diem, Luong Thu Trang, Quang Su... However, up to now, the character is loved by the audience Especially not in the main line of the movie, but the "uneducated but rich" gold shop owner named Men.

Playing the role of Mrs. Men is female artist Huong "Fresh" - who is very familiar with the series Meeting Weekend. Share with VTC News, Huong "Fresh" said she was really surprised that her role was so loved by the audience.

The scene where Huong "Fresh" plays the role of Mrs. Men made the audience excited.

"I'm proud that up to now, I'm still loved by the audience."

– It's been a long time since "Fresh" Huong returned to a TV series. What was the reason why you accepted the role of "uneducated and rich" Mrs. Men in the movie "Heart Rescue Station"?

I only rarely make films for VFC but still appear on stage regularly. As for the role of Mrs. Men, to be honest, at first I didn't like this role very much, because it was quite similar to the images of previous characters I had portrayed.

All my youth, I have played the role of fierce, formidable women. So if director Vu Truong Khoa hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have accepted the role of Mrs. Men in the film Heart rescue station.

– Returning to the small screen after a long absence but accepting to play a supporting role, accepting the image of being much older than yourself, do you feel at a disadvantage?

I am not a picky person when it comes to choosing the main or supporting roles. Once I accept the role, I will do my best to make the role "shaped and shaped" like everyone saw in Ms. Men.

Regarding character creation, about 20 years ago I would pay attention to whether I looked pretty in the picture or not. At this point, I no longer care whether my role is pretty or ugly, fake or young.

Honestly, whether I look prettier now or make my face look worse, the audience will still recognize it as "Fresh" Huong. I have had many roles that were uglier and much older than Mrs. Men.

For me now, what matters is whether the film is accepted by the audience and how people react to my character.

– Usually, the audience will remember the character's name more than the name of the actor playing that role. But in her case, Mrs. Men just went on air, many people called Huong "Fresh". What do you think about this?

Of course I feel happy. In fact, in real life, every time I go anywhere or do anything, the audience recognizes it as "Fresh" Fragrance of Meet at weekend.

I am proud that up to now, even though I no longer appear regularly on television, I am still remembered and loved by the audience.

– Mrs. Men is a supporting character, has few scenes but captures the most hearts from the audience of the movie "Heart Rescue Station". Are you satisfied with this audience reaction?

Like I said, I really didn't expect much when I accepted the role of Mrs. Men. However, my principle is that once I accept a role, I must think hard and do my best for that character. But to be honest, this is just a very small role. Compared to my previous roles, Ms. Men did not have any breakthrough in acting or image, I played the role very lightly.

So when I read comments from the audience like: "So great", "top of the top"... I was really surprised.

As an artist, of course everyone will be happy and excited when receiving compliments from the audience. I'm even happier because the reaction from the audience is beyond my expectations.

During filming, I thought my role might attract the audience's attention, but maybe people would just react like, "Oh, see her again", that's all. But I didn't expect that when the movie aired, everyone loved "her" so much. I also encountered many lovely comments such as: "Request the director to switch the main line to Mrs. Men", "Add more time for Men and Dinh's mother and daughter".

I think even in the heyday of my career, I have not encountered such an interesting reaction from the audience.

– In your opinion, why are the audience so "crazy" about the character of Mrs. Men when the film has the appearance of many stars of her time such as People's Artist Thu Ha, Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong and even other young stars? "Best hits" like Hong Diem and Quang Su?

I think the audience liked the role of Mrs. Men so much, not because I acted so well, but maybe because it had been a long time since they had "met" me, plus the character Men's lines were quite humorous and light compared to the other characters. It's only because of the general atmosphere of the movie that the characters can make a good impression.

Honestly, when I first watched the scenes where I played the role of Mrs. Men, I felt it was normal. But because the audience commented so much and loved "her" so much, I kept watching it over and over again and found my character... okay.

There are still many regrets about her role as a gold shop owner

– Even though you are the most popular character in the movie, it seems like you are still not really satisfied with your performance as Mrs. Men?

I received the script quite late, just 1 day before filming the role. At that time, the film's script was not yet complete. I didn't even read the scripts of the other characters, so I didn't know if Mrs. Men was a good person or a bad person, and I didn't know how the characters would interact with me.

So I just acted according to my own feelings, and when the movie aired, knowing the conflicts between the characters and character arcs, especially knowing that the audience was very interested in the role of Mrs. feel even more sorry.

If I had more time to learn about the entire film's script, I would play the role of Mrs. Men with more depth, more "life" and more emotion.

Currently, the movie is only 1/3 of the way filmed, the script is not really complete, who knows, maybe there will be a chance for Ms. Men to appear in a more interesting way.

– Playing the role of the gold shop owner, it must have been very difficult for you to prepare costumes and accessories to "look good"?

I often invest in my own costumes and accessories for my roles. Knowing that this is the character of a gold shop owner with a "bull's lung" personality, I prepared a few "bad" gold rings.

But then I felt bad because "fake" rings cost up to several hundred thousand dong/piece, and after being filmed, they couldn't be used for anything, which was a waste, so I decided to use my real jewelry.

The scene where I talked to My Dinh (Thuy Diem) after her divorce was filmed at the gold shop. At this time, I forgot all my jewelry at home so I had to borrow it at the counter. The staff were also very cooperative, willing to lend me diamond-encrusted items, and in that scene I wore real, high-value gold.

But that's also why I feel a bit pressured, because I'm afraid I will lose or misplace their things. Before filming, I carefully asked the staff to take pictures of the items I borrowed as "props" so that I could return them intact.

– "Fresh" fragrance is considered the "whole childhood sky" of the 8X and 9X generations. Do you plan to let your children succeed you?

I have 2 children, my first daughter is in her second year of university, majoring in Communications, and my youngest son is currently in 11th grade but has no artistic talent at all.

– Do you regret that none of your children pursue acting?

I don't feel any regret, because art is a unique profession with very fierce elimination. In our time, for an entire course, the number of people who stayed in the profession could only be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I always feel lucky because my children are good and study well. No matter what career my children pursue, I am proud and willing to support them as much as possible.

– Thank you!
