The villain being booed by viewers in "Wind Across the Blue Sky" is Hong, the head of the parent committee – the one who opposes My Anh (Phuong Oanh).
In episode 12, this character, driven by personal animosity, subjected My Anh's son to both mental and physical violence.
Speaking to a reporter from Lao Dong newspaper, Truc Mai, the actress playing Hong, shared her perspective on this villainous role.
I didn't expect such a strong reaction from the audience.
- What kind of pressure did you face playing the role of Hong, the head of the parent committee, in "Wind Across the Blue Sky"?
- When I accepted the role of Thu Hong – the head of the parent committee in director Le Do Ngoc Linh's "Wind Across the Blue Sky," I anticipated that this character might provoke mixed reactions from the audience. But I didn't expect the audience to react so strongly and intensely.
This is a character who abuses their power and money to oppress and bully those weaker than themselves. And perhaps my portrayal of the character is so intense that it makes the audience find this character even more hateful.
- On your personal page, you shared about the audience's reaction to your role as Hong. How did you prepare to deal with this when playing a villainous character?
- For me, as an actor, the greatest responsibility is always putting the overall interests of the film first. No matter what role I take on, I dedicate all my heart and soul to portraying the psychological depth, emotions, and image of the character as authentically as possible.
When I take on a villainous role, I understand that the responsibility of the actor is to create outrage, even to the point of pushing the audience's emotions to a climax. I think I'm no exception to that rule, and in fact, before the film aired, I had anticipated the audience's reaction.
- If you were in My Anh's position as a mother, how would you handle the situation?
- Movies are inherently a mirror reflecting some of the hidden aspects of society, and somewhere out there, there are surely parents like that existing in real life.
As a mother of two, if I were in My Anh's shoes, I would probably act the same way. Because children are always sacred and inviolable, especially for a mother – someone who is willing to do anything to protect her children.
- How did your family react to the scene in episode 12 featuring the character Hong?
- Actually, everyone in my family understands the unique nature of an actor's job. Each role I play is like putting on a new outfit, and the whole family contemplates and discusses together whether the role fully embodies the spirit, content, and form of the character.
In addition, people are also very interested in the audience's reaction to each of my roles on television.
- While Truc Mai used to play gentle characters, recently audiences have seen a completely new side of her in her villainous roles. What are your thoughts after each role?
- On stage, I am often given roles with deep inner lives and emotions, mostly about mothers and wives who endure much suffering, loss, and forbearance.
On television, I've also tried my hand at playing very feminine and gentle characters. However, perhaps those roles haven't made as much of an impression on viewers as some of my recent smaller roles, where I've been able to showcase a completely strong and individualistic side.
As an actress, what I desire most is to embody many different types of characters. Each role not only brings me a new life experience, a different shade of life, but also allows me to discover and understand more about myself.
Please do not equate the character's portrayal with the actor's real-life personality.
- As a Major in the People's Police, how do you manage your work schedule to be able to participate in the field of acting?
- Currently, I am a Major in the People's Public Security Force. My work at the People's Public Security Drama Theatre is quite busy.
However, if time permits, I would still like to ask the unit to give me the opportunity to participate in a few television drama projects so that I can fully indulge my passion for television.
- Many people believe that once an artist has a military rank, they tend to choose heroic roles. What are your thoughts on this?
- Every role is a challenge for us; embodying all kinds of characters with different personalities is not something every actor can easily do. I hope I don't get typecast into one specific role, but that with each role, I explore and strive my best to convey the true essence of the character to the audience.
If all the actors choose to portray only good characters, who will take on the villains – the essential pieces needed to create a film with a full spectrum of light and darkness, good and evil?
Therefore, I hope that the audience will appreciate the dedication and effort of each actor in their roles, instead of criticizing the villains and equating it to their private lives.
- Is it because she's been so busy that audiences haven't seen Truc Mai acting in films regularly lately?
- My job at the People's Police Theatre is already very busy, and besides that, I'm also a mother of two children: one is going through puberty with the changes of adolescence, and the other is just starting kindergarten and needs a lot of care and attention from her mother.
Therefore, balancing work at the office, family responsibilities, and the desire to participate in more television projects so that viewers don't forget me is truly not an easy task.
However, once I take on any job, I always strive to complete it thoroughly. My roles on television may not be very long, but I believe that each role will leave a certain impression on the audience.
What I hope for most is that the audience will remember me as a passionate artist, dedicated to my craft, and always striving to learn and excel in my roles on stage and television.
The affection and love of the audience are the greatest source of motivation, helping me to strive every day on the artistic path I have chosen.
