Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong: "No one remembers my name, they only remember that I play bad roles"

Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong is a veteran artist in the Cai Luong theater industry. With more than half a century of artistic activities, she has played many large and small roles with diverse personalities, especially villainous roles.

According to Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong, she did not think she would be successful with villainous roles. Previously, the female artist had also excellently portrayed gentle characters, making viewers cry. However, to improve herself, she decided to "transform" from positive to evil roles at the age of 28.

Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong recounted a saying of People's Artist Diep Lang that she will always remember. Specifically, during a performance together, People's Artist Diep Lang kept looking at her and smiling, making the female artist wonder. When asked, People's Artist Diep Lang said that when he saw her face playing a kind role, he found it funny, because her figure and personality, sharp face were more suitable for the evil role.

Revealing her experience playing villains, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong said she was lucky to work with veteran artists who are "unique" actors such as Meritorious Artist Nam Hung, People's Artist Hung Minh, artist Truong Xuan, artist Van Nga, artist Viet Hung...

Because each artist has a completely different way of portraying a villain, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong learns a little from each person to summarize her own experience and acting skills.

In addition, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong also relies on the time context and living conditions of the character to build the image of a sinister or mean villain. The female artist gives the example of sinister characters such as the councilor or the chairwoman, who will have different ways of expressing themselves and cannot be grouped into one type of acting.

The same goes for the role of mother-in-law. Depending on the character's personality, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong can act gently, calmly, but insidiously, or utter harsh, loud words.

Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong confided: "Up to this moment, no one remembers my name is Kim Phuong, they only remember that I play evil roles."

The villainous roles that helped Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong leave an impression on the audience also caused her to encounter many misunderstandings. Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong said that people who met her for the first time were afraid because they thought she was as evil as in the movies. However, the artist always stood tall because she was upright and did not do bad things.

In the program Multidimensional Glass , Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong confided: "Because I love this job so much, I want to last a long time with this job. I just hope that when I can no longer stand on stage, I will lie down, because at home I am sad and miss my job so much. Going to work like this is fun and healthy, but staying at home for a few months makes me sick."

Multidimensional Glass is a talk show that discusses and dialogues about a topic or an event of interest, revolving around cultural stories. The guests on the show are all famous artists, loved by the audience. The next episode with the participation of journalist Ly Doi will be broadcast at 8:00 p.m. on September 10 on VTV9.
