Quality and timing

Nearly 20 speeches in about 3 hours of discussion focused on the topic of effectively exploiting traditional and historical elements and values ​​to develop Vietnam's cultural industry. The two areas that received much attention in this conference were cinema and music .

Director Dang Thai Huyen said: "Vietnam is a small and resilient country. In the past, it fought against foreign invaders, and now it faces natural disasters. Actor Dinh Khang is calling for help as his family in his hometown was affected by floods. We don't know how things are going now, but he professionally came here to participate in the discussion."

According to her, the film Red Rain is not only for veterans to watch but also for today's youth.

So there is a way of telling it in a young way, attracting young audiences to watch. That is also the reason why there are beautiful actors on the other side.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoi affirmed that Red Rain has good investment and quality. But we must recognize that the film creates an effect from the cultural event of the country. Therefore, according to him, in addition to making a quality product, we need to work together to have the best development plan and strategy. Communication is an important link to create an effect.

"From movies to the cultural tourism industry. Do we have tours to visit the Red Rain film set? Tours to Quang Tri Citadel ? Has the producer created souvenirs about the movie for everyone?", Mr. Hoi said.

Director Mai Thanh Hiep expressed hope that in the future there will be a proper film studio so that filmmakers can make films with historical elements.

Inviting foreign artists to participate in Vietnam concert

Regarding the music field, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Music Association Nguyen Thi My Liem said that there are not many famous movie songs that can create their own strength. She hopes that musicians will contribute to the overall development of Vietnam's cultural industry.

She believes that the national element is important in music and is also important in creating "drop points" for cultural industrial products.

Specifically, the song "Writing the next story of peace" by musician Nguyen Van Chung, although composed before, became famous again thanks to the A50 event.

Producer Khanh K-ICM shared that Vietnam has organized many concerts. However, only Vietnamese artists have performed. He hopes that the organizers will invite more foreign artists to participate and sing Vietnamese songs. This will help the program be more fresh and spread more widely.

Director Kawaii Tuan Anh also hopes to receive more support in knowledge, skills, and technology.

'Pho Day' contributes to building Ho Chi Minh City's cultural industry

"In addition to the media, press agencies also have products such as Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper with the Mai Vang award, HTV with Bong Lua Vang, Tuoi Tre newspaper with a series of products such as Pho Day ... which can develop into cultural industry marks. We are planning to develop more cultural industry products," said Nguyen Ngoc Hoi, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports.
