Manh Truong: ‘Vai Hai in the Crocodile Profile is a great regret’

Manh Truong believes that the role in ‘Crocodile Profile’ has not shown all the colors he wants.

Along with Viet Anh, Hong Dang, Doan Quoc Dam, Thanh Son …, Manh Truong is one of the actors covering the current television series.

Regret for Hai in the shoulder Crocodile profile

– After “Love and ambition”, he participated in two consecutive movies “Crocodile profile” and “Taste of intimacy”. Why did you choose to appear so much?

– First of all, it’s love for the job. If you do not love the job, you certainly do not spend the time and enthusiasm for the roles. Furthermore, I’m someone who is afraid of resting for too long. Not to mention, the roles I’ve enjoyed recently, so there’s no reason to turn it down.

– Don’t you worry that being constantly appearing can be boring for the audience?

– Not only me, other actors also appear continuously. Movies now follow each other on air. Therefore, it is inevitable that an actor participates in many projects. So is the international market.

Of course, when I broadcast with a high frequency, I also wondered how to make the role new, not duplicated. For example, with a new role in Taste of intimacy, the image will be different from the character Hai in Crocodile profile. This guy has a glimpse of a handsome image like Phong’s The youth in the old days, mixed with a little bad boy, a little careless in love.

– Vai Hai in his “Crocodile Profile” is said to transform in terms of images, showing a very new Manh Truong. But after that, the role and the work did not have the expected effect. Surely he also regrets?

– It must be said that it is a great regret. At the beginning of the film, the character impresses the audience. But after about 15 episodes, when Hai got the crocodile files and returned them to Tuan Mo, the content focused mostly on crocodile profiles, gangster groups and interest groups.

My character line has decreased, the stage is not much. Therefore, the character is not plump anymore. Personally, I want to play Hai after he got the file, he has to do many other things, or the family conflict is pushed to the top.

But as you can see in the movie, later on, this character only revolves around debt, then has an accident …

Honestly, at first when I accepted the role, I read half of the script and enjoyed it very much. I envision characters with a variety of colors to exploit. But then Hai faded. I also told the director the same. That is the most unfortunate thing.

– The script of the film is considered to be vicious, difficult to understand, leading to “loss” of the audience. What do you think about this comment?

– Right from the moment the crew decided to pursue this franchise, the crew had anticipated that a piece of work might be confusing. With the topic of the thesis, the investigation, the audience must watch very carefully, almost not to leave any details. There are even episodes that must be reviewed to fully understand, because many situations are dexterous. In my opinion, this is the barrier of the film.

With other topics such as family, love, the audience can understand without needing to follow it from the beginning. They do not have a headache when sitting in front of the TV screen.

– After experiencing both the protagonist and the villain, is there any character that makes you feel “already”?

– Before, I was framed in the image of a gentlemanly gentleman for a while. That is why I took the role of Phong in Love and ambition. Fortunately, the role left an impression on audiences. And since then, the directors have the basis to choose me as the villain or similar color.

To have a role that makes me feel “already”, in addition to capacity, sometimes you have to be lucky. For example, two recent roles in Love and ambition and Crocodile profileI liked it very much, but was not satisfied.

I still wish to have a more explosive role to try. My concept of the job is very simple: don’t set the ladder too high for yourself. Because once we reach that level, it is very difficult for us to get down. I keep trying to go up, that’s a good direction.

– When Manh Truong plays the villain, there is still an opinion that he acts gong and ribbed. How do you accept the opposite reaction with your mind?

– When changing colors to play the villain, I foresee those situations. Because the audience is familiar with the image of Manh Truong, handsome and handsome. Some people even frankly dislike me playing the villain. I accept all comments from the audience with a comfortable mind. It is also how I see what is and is not.

Manh Truong received praise for playing a villain.

– But when you watch it again, do you agree that your acting is still gong?

– In Love and ambition For example, it is true that some scenes when we started filming, the director and I both wanted to overdo it a little. Because at that time, I worried that the transmission to the audience was not enough.

When I watched it again, I found that reducing the anger (from 10 to 8) would be more moderate.

– What kind of character do you wish to conquer?

– It was a good kind of character at first, but then it turned out horrible. The familiar motif we still meet is that of a bad man to a good one.

I remember seeing a Hong Kong movie in the old days. In it, the main character is good at first. But then, because of the rush of life, he turned into a complete villain.

– Phuong Oanh many times shared that he likes acting with him the most. So for you, is she the best co-star?

– Up to this point, it can be said that Phuong Oanh and I act very well. Previously, we played together in Opposite tears. At that time, Oanh shared that he liked acting together because the two brothers could freely share and discuss before filming. To me, communication is very important. If the two actors still have doubts, keep their distance, it is easy to create a feeling of embarrassment in the film.

Phuong Oanh is also someone who has a lot of ideas for each scene. From Opposite tears Coming to this movie, I see her maturity.
