WEBVTT 00:00:10.025 --> 00:00:12.631 Welcome to you and your friends to the Saturday Afternoon Coffee program of Lao 00:00:12.631 --> 00:00:14.305 Dong Newspaper on the occasion of the New Year. 00:00:14.685 --> 00:00:18.125 And today we will meet director Tran Thanh of the Tet movie Tho oi. 00:00:18.633 --> 00:00:23.113 Hello to all viewers and readers of Lao Dong Newspaper. I am Tran Than. 00:00:24.677 --> 00:00:29.057 Please ask director Tran Thanh once that he once said that it was his personal 00:00:29.057 --> 00:00:33.145 desire when every time a movie was released, he wanted his reputation to be 00:00:33.145 --> 00:00:36.357 good and possibly even surpass the achievements of the old movie. 00:00:36.517 --> 00:00:43.756 So I don't know if movies like Mai or the movie Mua Do have given Tran Thanh 00:00:43.756 --> 00:00:48.440 expectations and ambitions for a high-grossing film project that could be 00:00:48.440 --> 00:00:49.717 up to trillions. 00:00:49.992 --> 00:00:56.170 Thanh has not achieved any number for himself to call such achievements as 00:00:56.170 --> 00:00:58.072 good or not good. 00:00:58.072 --> 00:01:02.572 I just thought that the next movie I would just try and make it different 00:01:02.572 --> 00:01:06.226 Just need it to be recognized and the audience loves it better than the 00:01:06.226 --> 00:01:07.792 previous movie, I'm already very happy. 00:01:07.792 --> 00:01:10.192 So every number is happy for me. 00:01:10.192 --> 00:01:14.072 As long as it wins, don't lose 00:01:14.072 --> 00:01:16.212 Losing will make me feel too bad 00:01:16.212 --> 00:01:20.852 I myself have done that, but I have not made my works accepted. 00:01:20.852 --> 00:01:21.992 Then I'll be sad 00:01:21.992 --> 00:01:25.712 So I will try not to be sad by trying to win 00:01:26.766 --> 00:01:32.486 Yes, many viewers think that the measure of success of a feature film is revenue. 00:01:33.046 --> 00:01:37.558 So with Tran Thanh's best friend, what do you think about there being so many 00:01:37.558 --> 00:01:40.566 movies that are highly appreciated by professionals and highly rated? 00:01:40.566 --> 00:01:43.546 but the revenue was not as expected and even lost money. 00:01:44.026 --> 00:01:48.100 So according to director Tran Thanh's best friend, what do you think, what are 00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:49.846 the factors of a successful film? 00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:54.930 If it is said that revenue is an assessment of the success of a 00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:56.370 film, that definition is not correct. 00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.270 And success is not considered like that. 00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:03.713 Because there are movies, each movie I compare it to a spice, compare 00:02:03.713 --> 00:02:05.110 it to a dish. 00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:08.750 Then there will be a lot of very delicious dishes but they are very unpopular. 00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:13.090 And people must understand that dish or have a certain taste in enjoying it to 00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:14.570 be able to eat that dish. 00:02:14.790 --> 00:02:20.570 For example, truffle mushrooms or fish sauce or durian. 00:02:20.570 --> 00:02:24.786 It alone has things that not everyone can eat, but once they eat, people 00:02:24.786 --> 00:02:25.990 are fascinated by it. 00:02:26.770 --> 00:02:32.210 So I can't say that revenue is used as a measure of the success of a film. 00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:41.202 Its revenue is partly for that manufacturer to have faith and they are 00:02:41.202 --> 00:02:46.170 happy with the success of which product they choose to sell. 00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:50.450 A filmmaker who wants to do art houses or genres. 00:02:51.910 --> 00:02:55.189 Then when they do that, they must understand that their revenue will be 00:02:55.189 --> 00:02:56.450 lower than those field films. 00:03:00.059 --> 00:03:03.219 Choosing to sell fine dining, how can you sell as many customers as selling "com xuong" rice? 00:03:03.219 --> 00:03:04.899 I have to understand that myself. 00:03:04.899 --> 00:03:08.319 It's just a very simple rule 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.759 But of course with Thanh 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.539 I don't take numbers to measure each work 00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:18.239 But I have to want that work 00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:19.959 At least it must have words. 00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:23.199 The work must at least have words 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.859 Then it's a work 00:03:24.859 --> 00:03:30.119 But it achieves the expectations of the worker 00:03:30.119 --> 00:03:33.539 When that work doesn't have lyrics yet 00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:38.579 One, I'm talking about the matter of luck and misfortune. 00:03:38.579 --> 00:03:41.139 The time it came out or the level of communication 00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:42.299 It doesn't reach everyone 00:03:42.299 --> 00:03:45.379 Sometimes it affects external factors 00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:49.159 It makes that work not achieve the desired value 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.799 Well, that's the first case 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:52.039 The second one 00:03:52.399 --> 00:03:53.839 That director himself 00:03:53.839 --> 00:03:54.839 You definitely have to see it yourself. 00:03:54.859 --> 00:03:55.879 Review your work 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.039 It's my way of telling stories 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.999 Has it really suited many people? 00:03:59.999 --> 00:04:01.599 Often 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.979 It's very artistic 00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:05.139 But somewhere in my way of telling 00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:07.839 It doesn't have the attractive element in it. 00:04:07.839 --> 00:04:10.279 It can't keep people in there. 00:04:10.279 --> 00:04:11.739 Well, sometimes I have to 00:04:11.739 --> 00:04:13.899 Review the spice recipe yourself 00:04:13.899 --> 00:04:15.459 When I make that spiritual food 00:04:15.459 --> 00:04:17.239 Then Thanh thinks that is 00:04:17.239 --> 00:04:19.719 In the end, it's all math problems 00:04:19.719 --> 00:04:21.499 Let us set our own goals 00:04:21.499 --> 00:04:22.579 And we teach it ourselves 00:04:24.159 --> 00:04:25.459 Making commercial films 00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.039 Or choose to make art house movies 00:04:27.039 --> 00:04:29.399 What's the market like? 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.459 What percentage of the market 00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:32.679 What kind of art house is an art house 00:04:32.679 --> 00:04:34.599 But hopefully just finish it 00:04:34.599 --> 00:04:36.799 Thanh wishes that all the filmmakers 00:04:36.799 --> 00:04:39.199 Thanh all wishes them 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.559 Finish making the film that is at least beneficial 00:04:41.559 --> 00:04:43.139 So that the first one is not abandoned 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:44.779 That hard work I did 00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:46.539 The second thing it gives me a belief is 00:04:46.539 --> 00:04:48.799 I'm doing the right thing so I still have hope 00:04:50.993 --> 00:04:52.993 sending wishes to all of Thanh's colleagues. 00:04:53.873 --> 00:04:58.193 In the movie Rabbit, it's about a toxic relationship 00:04:58.193 --> 00:05:01.853 and especially everyone considers themselves victims in their own story. 00:05:02.313 --> 00:05:04.893 I don't know if it's with director Tran Thanh himself. 00:05:04.893 --> 00:05:08.073 then I don't know if you've ever fallen into a toxic relationship before? 00:05:08.453 --> 00:05:10.893 And for Mr. Tran Thanh himself, he thinks that 00:05:10.893 --> 00:05:14.633 how do we make it so that we can reduce toxicity 00:05:14.633 --> 00:05:17.373 or to reduce and limit conflicts in a relationship. 00:05:17.971 --> 00:05:21.931 Thanh thinks I must have had some rough experiences somewhere. 00:05:21.931 --> 00:05:26.511 Then I also observed quite a lot around me about those relationships. 00:05:26.511 --> 00:05:28.031 Then I have the materials I made the film 00:05:28.031 --> 00:05:30.791 Thanh thinks this way 00:05:30.791 --> 00:05:34.331 Toxic is not toxic, it also depends on a stage of each person. 00:05:34.331 --> 00:05:37.391 And it also depends on each person in this society 00:05:37.391 --> 00:05:39.151 Many times they are born like that 00:05:39.151 --> 00:05:40.551 Sometimes they don't want to anymore either 00:05:41.111 --> 00:05:43.531 So I think that 00:05:43.531 --> 00:05:45.691 Accidentally it fits 00:05:48.451 --> 00:05:50.431 It has chemical reactions 00:05:50.431 --> 00:05:52.551 Make that toxic thing disappear 00:05:52.551 --> 00:05:53.991 So it's 00:05:53.991 --> 00:05:55.351 I think 00:05:55.351 --> 00:05:57.051 Find someone who suits you. 00:05:57.051 --> 00:05:58.111 It's the first 00:05:58.111 --> 00:05:59.491 The second is 00:05:59.491 --> 00:06:01.631 In any moment of deadlock 00:06:01.631 --> 00:06:03.931 Let's think about the positive rather than the negative. 00:06:03.931 --> 00:06:07.451 Practice thinking about positive things more than negative things 00:06:07.451 --> 00:06:09.531 And give in to each other more 00:06:10.131 --> 00:06:13.691 Well, I think everything will be better. 00:06:14.571 --> 00:06:16.931 You have met the right person 00:06:17.551 --> 00:06:19.571 People don't want to negotiate, how can you negotiate? 00:06:19.571 --> 00:06:20.891 That's just a bit unlucky. 00:06:20.891 --> 00:06:23.171 So let's be alert to choose the right one. 00:06:23.171 --> 00:06:24.251 The one who is my companion 00:06:24.508 --> 00:06:27.548 In the movie Rabbit 00:06:27.548 --> 00:06:30.228 So personally, I see a problem like this 00:06:30.228 --> 00:06:32.168 Those are the people on the surface 00:06:32.168 --> 00:06:33.768 They could be flashy 00:06:33.768 --> 00:06:35.688 They are successful, they are rich 00:06:35.688 --> 00:06:38.468 But hidden behind that happiness they built 00:06:38.468 --> 00:06:39.908 Maybe it's some kind of root 00:06:39.908 --> 00:06:41.348 Which we don't know 00:06:41.348 --> 00:06:43.908 So then with director Tran Thanh himself 00:06:43.908 --> 00:06:45.768 I think it's each of us 00:06:45.768 --> 00:06:47.608 All carrying their own masks 00:06:49.007 --> 00:06:51.287 more masks, we have life 00:06:51.287 --> 00:06:53.547 with, we have 3 masks 00:06:53.547 --> 00:06:55.227 I, the first mask 00:06:55.227 --> 00:06:57.267 are the people that we 00:06:57.267 --> 00:06:58.347 wants everyone to look at 00:07:01.027 --> 00:07:04.627 The second mask is the mask that I put out to treat everyone. 00:07:06.447 --> 00:07:10.087 The third mask is the mask when I was alone. 00:07:12.187 --> 00:07:18.187 Then I think everyone will live with many different worlds. 00:07:19.307 --> 00:07:21.087 In each world we play a different role. 00:07:21.927 --> 00:07:23.567 We are all actors that we don't know. 00:07:23.647 --> 00:07:28.107 So let's consider using our mask skillfully. 00:07:29.567 --> 00:07:34.322 Yes, we are talking a little bit about the story of finding 00:07:34.322 --> 00:07:35.907 young actors for cinema. 00:07:36.807 --> 00:07:40.647 The audience knows that for many years, director Tran Thanh has also 00:07:40.647 --> 00:07:41.927 found many young faces. 00:07:42.467 --> 00:07:48.467 But if some audiences wonder that Tran Thanh often looks for young faces, 00:07:48.707 --> 00:07:52.167 they have a certain amount of fame or a certain degree of fame. 00:07:52.607 --> 00:07:56.171 So what are the opportunities for actors or students at the 00:07:56.171 --> 00:07:57.467 film and theater school, 00:07:57.467 --> 00:07:59.747 They also want to shine but have not had the opportunity. 00:08:00.127 --> 00:08:04.627 Is it that they are shrinking their chances compared to those who 00:08:04.627 --> 00:08:06.127 are already famous, brother? 00:08:06.851 --> 00:08:08.651 No one gives anyone a chance. 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.160 I have to go find opportunities for myself 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.160 Those students who want to meet me, come to me. 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.160 How could I suddenly come to them 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.160 Right? It's paradoxical 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.160 They are new recruits, so they must come to me. 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.160 They have to find a way to meet me or 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.160 Show me their talent 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.160 How do I know where they are that I can sneak them out? 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.160 And the people I am meeting here are examples 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.160 If you say it, Thanh will only choose people who are already famous. 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.933 Thanh won't agree. 00:08:31.933 --> 00:08:33.206 Who knows where Vinh Nam is harvested? 00:08:35.400 --> 00:08:38.020 Then through the introductions of friends around 00:08:38.020 --> 00:08:39.500 I know him, so I call him to cast. 00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:42.340 And it conquered Thanh with its acting 00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:43.880 Thanh chose it, but Thanh didn't choose it either 00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:45.440 Because Vinh Nam doesn't have fans yet 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.240 Vinh Nam is really a rookie without fans. 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.160 So Thanh also hopes 00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:52.300 For example, Van Mai Huong 00:08:52.300 --> 00:08:54.600 Being a singer, there are no fans in cinema. 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.720 Why do I still choose Van Mai Huong 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.420 Then Thanh thinks he just chooses 00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:02.540 And the person who I believe is suitable for this role 00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:03.840 So it's 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.880 Thanh thinks that 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:08.120 Thanh is always open to everyone 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.300 And 00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:12.220 Anyone that Thanh feels 00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:15.920 Thanh believes that he can do it for that person. 00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:17.1000 Entering the world of cinema 00:09:18.582 --> 00:09:24.162 So in the end, how do you hope that the audience will see your film? 00:09:24.442 --> 00:09:27.955 And Tran Thanh's best friend is an artist, so how do you hope the audience 00:09:27.955 --> 00:09:30.062 will want to see you from a different perspective? 00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:33.099 Just need the audience to love me to be happy. 00:09:33.727 --> 00:09:36.827 When people love someone, whatever they do, they will love them. 00:09:37.275 --> 00:09:41.335 Yes, and for the last word, you can send a New Year's greeting. 00:09:41.335 --> 00:09:43.015 Is it for readers of Lao Dong Newspaper? 00:09:43.268 --> 00:09:48.548 I would like to wish readers of Lao Dong Newspaper a truly joyful new year. 00:09:48.548 --> 00:09:52.128 And this year, the year of the horse, everything will move very quickly 00:09:52.128 --> 00:09:57.508 So I hope you will also get the fastest speed to achieve what you want. 00:09:57.750 --> 00:10:02.190 And director Tran Thanh's sharing also ended our Saturday Coffee Exclude program today. 00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:05.090 And see you in the next episode
