Jun Pham's Journey to the Land of Nowhere
After the MV "1900 Hoi Do" and the Vlog series "Let's Go Dad!" made with his father earlier this year, Jun Pham continued to surprise by introducing a children's novel publication.
Up to now, Jun Pham (former member of the group 365) is often known as a multi-talented artist, from singer, actor, MC, screenwriter... with a lively and dedicated image in reality TV shows. However, if you have been with Jun Pham since the days in the group 365, everyone must know that Jun also has another hobby and ability: writing.
In 2013, Jun Pham released his first novel "If I Can't Say If", marking a memorable milestone in his career. After that, Jun also released 3 other works, including an autobiography about the group 365. However, in the past 7 years, Jun has stopped writing books, instead writing film scripts and Vlog and music projects.
Jun Pham just lost his father not long ago.
"The Endless Land" is Jun Pham's 5th book after 7 years of absence from the literary world. What makes this novel special compared to his previous works is its target audience. The novel The Endless Land is for children, or those who used to be children.
"The Land of Endless" is the journey of a single father who travels into an imaginary land created by his daughter. The extremely strange, enchanting and also endless journey has become a bridge to rebuild his father-daughter relationship, at the same time evoking strong emotions of nostalgia in anyone. The book started as an "order" for a film script from Ngo Thanh Van. But after many changes, the project was not started.
Jun Pham is known as a versatile artist.
During the period of social distancing due to the pandemic, Jun had the opportunity to "dust off" that unfinished project and decided to turn it into a novel for children. "Jun had a very difficult but extremely passionate experience when rewriting the story in the direction of a novel. Thanks to it, Jun had the opportunity to return to the corners of his childhood memories, recalling memories that he thought he had cut off with old objects in the warehouse" - Jun said.
The Land of the Endless with its colorful fantasy story and familiar yet funny characters for children. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for adults to look back at the magical world of their childhood memories, to converse with the complexities of children - something we gradually lose when we become adults.
Jun Pham returns to literature
Sometimes understanding a child is harder than picking a star, even though we ourselves were once small. Jun Pham hopes that the book with its clear and warm flavors will make people more open to children, especially those who are learning to be parents.
Not only books, the journey of the Land of Endless also has other products such as teddy bears, music videos , and charity funds from revenue to perform heart surgeries for children with financial difficulties.
