Ly Hai's 'Flip Face 8' continues to set records.

Just a few days after early ticket sales opened, director Ly Hai's latest film became a phenomenon with a record number of advance ticket bookings.

"Face Off 8" sets a record even before its official release.

"Face Off 8: The Sunny Embrace" by Ly Hai is becoming one of the most talked-about films during the April 30th holiday. As in previous years, Ly Hai's film quickly created a sensation even before its official release.

According to the production team, in just the first few days of sales, "Lật mặt 8" (Face Off 8) recorded a number of pre-orders far exceeding expectations, reaching 131,000 tickets - equivalent to revenue of 10.6 billion VND.

With this achievement, Ly Hai's latest film continues to set the record for "The Vietnamese film with the highest number of advance ticket sales of all time." This is a dream number for any project, acknowledging the efforts of the crew and affirming the brand's appeal built over nearly a decade.

Belonging to the psychological and family genre, "Face Off 8: The Embrace of Sunshine" tells the story of differing viewpoints between three generations—grandparents, parents, and children—as the main character, Tâm, pursues her dream of becoming a singer despite her family's opposition.

The film offers a healing journey, hoping that this heartwarming story will bridge the generation gap and provide a glimpse into the lives of people in the sun-drenched central region of Vietnam.

After the early screening of "Face Off 8: The Embrace of the Sun" in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of April 26th, not only the cast but also numerous artists, guests, and audience members emerged from the theater with red and swollen eyes. Director Ly Hai said that he was very nervous beforehand because he didn't know if his story could touch the emotions of the viewers.

"When I saw many audience members cry two or three times, some even three or four times, I was truly overwhelmed. People said they saw themselves in the story," he said.

Many viewers commented that "Face Off 8" not only captivated the eye with its stunning visuals but also evoked a wide range of emotions. Each character and each story touched a hidden corner of the viewer's soul, making them shed tears of empathy.

Ly Hai shared: "Everyone has a family with different stories. Some receive support, others don't. But the silent sacrifice of a father, sometimes different from that of a mother, is something that easily resonates with all generations. I believe that every viewer of the film will find themselves reflected in it."

Ly Hai's eighth film continues to explore the theme of family.

Aimed at a mass audience, Ly Hai's films are praised for their entertainment value, ease of viewing, and humanistic stories. The filmmaker chooses to focus his camera on the lives of working people, depicting various professions such as grocery store owners, fishermen, farmers, and factory owners, contributing to a diverse and relatable picture.

Ly Hai once said, "You have to learn every day to avoid falling behind and standing still. Young people have many ideas and energy, and I have to learn that from them. If I don't learn, I will become outdated."

The director is not only a filmmaker who caters to popular tastes, but also someone who knows how to learn, adjust, and improve the product after each installment. He perseveres in making films to repay the audience's trust, and it is this that compels professionals to look back with respect.

Lật Mặt 8: Vòng Tay Nắng (Face Off 8: Sunny Circle) brings together a cast of veteran actors such as Meritorious Artist Kim Phương, Meritorious Artist Hữu Châu, Meritorious Artist Tuyết Thu, Meritorious Artist Chiều Xuân... to young actors like Đoàn Thế Vinh, Hồng Thu, Tín Nguyễn, Bảo Ngọc.
