The premiere of the 96-minute film "Life and Death" took place in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting the attention of fans with the presence of Taiwanese heartthrob Lin Baihong and a host of Vietnamese stars such as Thai Hoa, Tieu Vy, Thanh Son… Notably, the appearance of actor Phuong Nam - who played Ta in the film "Red Rain" - surprised many people.
Southern's new role in 'Red Rain'
Appearing at the event, Phuong Nam wore an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress), impressing with his handsome appearance. Unlike his gaunt image when playing Ta, the actor now appears younger and more energetic. It is known that before participating in "Red Rain ," Phuong Nam lost over 15 kg, from 78 kg to 63 kg, to recreate the image of a soldier during wartime. The efforts of the actor born in 1993 were well rewarded when the film he participated in grossed over 700 billion VND and recently won the Golden Lotus Award at the 2025 Vietnam Film Festival.

"The character's emotional development is very compelling and truly moved me, especially in the emotional scenes between Dương Đình Quyên and her husband or younger brother," she shared.

For Tuan Ngoc, the voice-over process helped him better understand acting through voice. The male pageant winner said that his vocal advantage helped him control his breathing and intonation more easily. However, transitioning from a narrative voice to a more cinematic voice remains a significant challenge for him.

The film "96 Minutes of Life and Death" is a race against time as a time bomb is planted on a train, and everyone has only 96 minutes to defuse it before reaching the final station. Former bomb disposal expert Song Kang-Ren (played by Lin Bai-Hong) has been burdened by guilt for three years for failing to prevent a horrific explosion. He must once again confront his past, seeking to rescue his mother, his fiancée, and hundreds of other passengers.
In its opening week in Taiwan, the film grossed over 14 billion VND. It quickly topped the domestic box office for several weeks, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2025 in that market.
