Developing Vietnam's cultural industry: Turning aspirations into reality

Artists, producers, and directors affirm that they are making efforts to exploit traditional and historical values in the most effective way by innovating storytelling and applying technology.

Need a studio of sufficient size

I and many filmmakers wish to have a professional film studio in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, when filming, we have to borrow houses from local people to recreate the scene, which makes production time-consuming and laborious. For many scenes, the crew has to move to different locations, causing difficulties for the scriptwriter, director and actors.

When there are movies, recreating old scenes will be easier, film crews will save a lot of costs; not to mention the film studio can also integrate tourism , souvenir products and business...

Thereby, creating conditions for the film and cultural industry to develop sustainably.

I would like to have a specific consulting address.

I have worked on products that exploit traditional cultural values such as "See love" (Hoang Thuy Linh), "Can't be together forever" (Hoa Minzy), "Made in Vietnam" (DTAP and Phuong My Chi).

Through contact with many young people, I realize that Gen Z pays great attention to the production process, from studying abroad to applying software technology to create quality cultural products. However, finding original content and consulting on historical and cultural values is still difficult. Sometimes young people are confused about where to go and who to ask for advice. Although they are very confident in what they are doing, they know that the product is worth investing in. Therefore, to turn the product into a cultural industry, we need more support in knowledge, skills and technology.

Always conscious of promoting culture and history through music

The topic of the discussion conducted by the Lao Dong Newspaper today is very timely. In artistic creation, especially music, we have traditional and historical materials available and this is a great advantage.

However, the exploitation of traditional and historical values must be selective and not follow trends. I am always aware and always ready to accompany in this work, in order to contribute a small part to the development of Vietnam's cultural industry.

Be aware of your responsibilities

Traditional Vietnamese music is rich in value and extremely unique, and today many young artists are beginning to enjoy and explore those values. I am always aware of my responsibility to preserve and honor these traditional values, while finding ways to combine them with modern creative trends to reach young audiences.

I hope that in the near future, the authorities will have specific plans to develop art, while creating conditions and supporting personal projects and individual creative ideas of artists.

From there, artists are nurtured in their personal creativity and contribute to enriching Vietnamese musical and cultural life.

Affirming cultural position

According to Ms. Tran Thu Hang, Chief of Office of the Oil and Gas Drilling and Services Corporation (PV Drilling), recently, she has noticed that Vietnamese cultural and artistic activities have many new creations that incorporate cultural and historical values in a familiar and easy-to-perceive way. This shows that if culture is conveyed vividly, listeners and viewers will have easier access.

"I hope that the HCM City Department of Culture and Sports and media agencies will continue to support the exploitation of traditional values, turning those materials into products that are close to the public. Then, the culture of HCM City and Vietnam will have its own mark, easily recognizable on the world cultural map" - Ms. Hang shared.
