On the evening of March 28, when meeting the press to introduce the film The Price of Happiness, producer Xuan Lan and the cast answered many questions related to the film and each person.

Tran Thanh's dream of success

Currently, Vietnamese movies are facing a difficult period after the resounding Tet season.

If during Tet there was a fever for Tran Thanh's Mai and Dao, Pho and Piano, and the hundred billion revenue of Meet the Pregnant Sister Again, then currently Vietnamese films are completely crushed at the box office by foreign films.

Two recently released Vietnamese films, The Heiress 2 and Bright Lights , have low revenue and are facing the risk of heavy losses.

Released on April 19, The Price of Happiness is a film that shows investment in setting and cast, in which Thai Hoa is a prominent name to attract audiences.

Responding to Tuoi Tre Online , producer Xuan Lan said she bears a huge responsibility for all the trust and hope from investors and the entire film crew.

She makes films not to exchange and learn, but to have the best product for audiences to buy tickets to see in theaters, to touch the hearts of audiences. The goal of the film is "at least not to lose money".

Xuan Lan also appreciates the success of previous Vietnamese films.

She said: "The success of the film Mai is the dream of all the directors behind it. They all dream of reaching the milestone of Mai or Bo Gia or Nha Ba Nu.

Or with Mr. Ly Hai, at the same time as April 30, I also wish we could touch the hearts of ordinary people in society, women who are wives and mothers, sacrificing themselves for their husbands and children, taking other people's happiness as their own."

"Give way" to Ly Hai to avoid awkwardness

Producer Xuan Lan also said that the film The Price of Happiness was originally scheduled to be shown on April 26, on the occasion of April 30.

But later she decided to "give up" the April 26 screening date to Ly Hai's film Lat mat 7: Mot giau uoc to avoid awkwardness. The new screening date of the film is April 19, with early screenings on April 18.

Actor Thai Hoa said he accepted the role because of fate. He had never acted in this type of script and lived with this type of role. He accepted the role because he wanted to challenge himself.

According to the trailer, the marriage of the rich couple Thoai - Duong, played by Thai Hoa - Xuan Lan, is just a flashy facade covering up the brokenness inside.

The husband criticized his wife for always forcing the whole family to act happy to attract the admiration of the world, while the wife also had many personal hardships.

The film's director - Nguyen Ngoc Lam - is also Xuan Lan's husband. The film has a fairly large investment, and the theme of marriage and family is quite heavy. In the behind-the-scenes clip, Xuan Lan and her husband sometimes have a tense argument to find the right direction for the film.

At one point, director Nguyen Ngoc Lam exclaimed that he was worried about his own marriage.

Uyen An leaves Tran Thanh's brother's "universe"

Taking on the role of the daughter of the two main characters, Uyen An confidently answered the question of why she chose to act in a film outside of her brother Tran Thanh's film "universe" for the first time.

Uyen An said: "The reason is very simple: Uyen An is an actress. Actors can accept all the movies they want, and can work with a variety of directors. Why does actress Uyen An only work with director Tran Thanh?"
