The soundtrack is a hit

Many works have considered music as a content element, contributing to conveying the director's emotions and messages to the audience. Typically, the song "Grandma loves me" performed by singer Ai Phuong - the soundtrack of the movie "Grandma's Gold" has moved many audiences.

When the director himself writes the music, the emotions of the film are conveyed more completely. Because no one understands the psychology of the characters and the development of the story better than the person who makes it. The song is not only a "narration" through music but also a connection between the audience and the director's emotions.

In “The Tunnel: The Sun in the Dark”, the two actors, Meritorious Artist Cao Minh (as Uncle Sau) and Diem Hang Lamoon (as Ut Kho) performed the song in the film, helping the audience understand more about the message of sacrifice and resilience of the people underground. In the film “The Ancestors’ House”, the female lead Phuong My Chi composed and performed the song “The House Still Loves You”, bringing a rustic, close feeling, full of love.

In particular, the movie “Red Rain” with the theme song “Pain in the Middle of Peace ” performed by Hoa Minzy. As a guest actress in the movie, Hoa Minzy fully conveyed the pain of soldiers after the war, helping the audience to be moved when watching some scenes with this song.

Recently, the movie “House of Ghosts” also attracted attention with the soundtrack “Ma Thuong Con Hoai” performed by Hoai Lam. Many viewers commented that the music made them cry and felt like they were listening to a story full of maternal love.

Not only emotional, film music also has a great influence in terms of communication. A good song, if performed well, can completely help the film spread strongly on social networks, contributing to promoting the work more effectively. Therefore, many producers today consider music as an indispensable "weapon" when bringing films closer to the public.

Efforts to improve the quality of music in Vietnamese films

Along with the development of cinema, the life of Vietnamese film music is entering a more professional stage. Many production teams no longer consider film music as a supplement but as the “second soul” of the work. Collaboration with famous musicians in the market shows the effort to improve the quality of music in Vietnamese films.

In 2024 - 2025, a series of film projects invited prestigious names such as Hua Kim Tuyen and Nguyen Van Chung to compose film music. Each person brings their own musical style, helping Vietnamese films have a more diverse identity from lyrical, contemporary folk to modern electronic music.

Notably, many singers also returned to the soundtrack, contributing to raising the quality of the product. Tra My Idol contributed her voice to “Billion Dollar Kiss”, and Chu Thuy Quynh appeared in “Daughter Sale Contract”.

Some recent action and war movies have also been marked by heroic songs. The songs “Bung Sang” and “Hy Hop” in the movie “Tử độ trên không” have contributed to honoring the brave spirit of the soldiers, helping the audience feel the spirit and ideals portrayed in each frame. Notably, after the movie, many viewers also searched for the song “Bung Sang” on various platforms, creating a strong effect for the project.

Filmmakers today are also beginning to pay more attention to copyright and music promotion strategies. Some teams release songs along with trailers or before the release date, helping to create an early viral effect. This is a common trend in international cinema, and is now being systematically adopted by Vietnamese films.

From that, we can see that Vietnamese film music has proven its strong vitality. Music is no longer a faint background, but has become a storyteller, contributing to shaping the emotions and identity of the film. When the director, actors, singers and musicians come together, that is the moment Vietnamese cinema really "sings" in the hearts of the audience with melody, emotion and love for art.
