Why did Meritorious Artist Viet Anh refuse the main role and choose a supporting role in VTV's new film?

Meritorious Artist Viet Anh is one of the famous names participating in the film Near and Far Roads . The rest include Vinh Xuong and Meritorious Artist Nguyet Hang. Meanwhile, the young artists in this film account for a large number. They are Minh Hoang, Tran Kien, Viet Hoang, Cu Thi Tra, and Bich Thuy. "Up to 80% of the faces in the film are new," director Mai Hien said at a press conference on the afternoon of May 10 in Hanoi .

Near and Far Roads tells the story of a group of friends in the countryside: Hung (played by Minh Hoang), Dung (played by Viet Hoang), Dong (played by Cu Thi Tra) and Bao (played by Tran Kien). Although they are not the same age or have the same aspirations, they have been close to each other for many years. Hung has accepted to give up many opportunities so that Dung - his half-brother - can realize his dream of becoming an engineer. Dong bets everything on his passion for fencing with the dream of winning the championship, while Bao - a rich kid with an innocent and carefree personality - is indifferent to everything.

When the four of them moved to the city to start a career, they chose to live together, but from here, their journey of adulthood faced many storms, collisions and even failures. They went through a challenging journey, sometimes desperate to the point of disorientation, and then realized that they lacked many things.

In Near and Far Roads, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh plays Vinh. This character is described as "handsome, attractive, and cool". Vinh always shows himself to be a polite and generous person, but in fact he is unpredictable and scheming; to get revenge, Vinh is willing to destroy and hurt others. However, this is only a supporting role.

Regarding accepting a supporting role in the film Near and Far Roads, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh said that he is very busy at the moment, even so busy that if the role is long and heavy, he cannot accept it. Therefore, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh also just turned down a main role in a VTV film. "Mr. Hien said this role is suitable, the time is flexible. When Mr. Hien said that, I understood that he needed me," Meritorious Artist Viet Anh said about the reason for accepting the role.

In the film, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh has a romantic scene playing the saxophone. To get this scene, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh said: "I spent 2 months learning to play the saxophone. To keep up with the schedule, I learned 1/1. On the day of filming, the teacher came to correct me."

Meritorious Artist Viet Anh also highly appreciated the cast in the film for their enthusiasm. "That's why I, Vinh Xuong, and Nguyet Hang appeared in this film as a background for you guys. The filming process reminded me of Chay An , at that time I was the same age as you guys now. I'm also similar in that I'm enthusiastic and fearless. I believe you guys will grow up after this film," the actor expressed.

Meritorious Artist Viet Anh also has great confidence in Cu Thi Tra - who has recently been called "a professional third party in TV dramas". The actor said: "I'm talking about spirituality, my co-stars have never failed. After this film, Tra will have a different position. Thuy, Kien or Hoang will also have better positions. But I still hope that they can keep the fire burning and maintain more professionalism."

Meritorious Artist Viet Anh is also the person who "matched" musician Le Thanh Trung for Nhung Ngoi Duong Nhan Xa . Le Thanh Trung is one of the three musicians of the film. Le Thanh Trung said: "Viet Anh and I are close, we call each other for everything. Viet Anh has a scene of playing the trumpet so he wanted me to join. When I met Hien, listening to Hien talk about the content of the film, I wanted to do it even more. I wrote 3 songs in this film in more than 1 month. When it was time to produce, I had to ask 4 studios and 3 musicians to arrange the music, then invite 4 main singers to sing. They are all singers who bring life to the songs, including Phuong Vu and Bang Kieu".

Regarding this, Meritorious Artist Viet Anh shared: "Everyone still knows Trung through the song Con mua bang dang . But I hope Trung will be known by more people, through more songs. It must be said that Nhung duong duong nan xa is one of the few films with such a thick soundtrack."
