00:00:08.667 --> 00:00:11.247 
Greetings to the audience mentioning
People's Artist Bu Be Binh 

00:00:11.247 --> 00:00:13.807 
We often immediately remember the
unpredictable transformations of 

00:00:13.807 --> 00:00:15.727 
suffering between good and evil characters. 

00:00:15.727 --> 00:00:18.447 
Can be as gentle as the character
Hoa in the movie Mua Oi 

00:00:18.447 --> 00:00:23.065 
But it can also be as cruel as the roles
in the movies Ma Lang, Gio Lang Kinh 

00:00:23.065 --> 00:00:24.347 
or most recently Phi Phong. 

00:00:24.347 --> 00:00:28.551 
And at the age of 70, People's Artist Bu
Be Binh is still diligently working with 

00:00:28.551 --> 00:00:30.127 
film crews from cinema to television. 

00:00:30.127 --> 00:00:32.147 
And in the Sunday Saturday Coffee program today 

00:00:32.147 --> 00:00:36.367 
We will have a conversation and meeting
with People's Artist Bu Be Binh 

00:00:37.227 --> 00:00:41.107 
People's Artist Bu Be Binh also
had a brilliant youth. 

00:00:41.107 --> 00:00:43.576 
When he was the staff of the Vietnam
Feature Film Studio and associated cows 

00:00:43.576 --> 00:00:44.987 
with the film studio in the Golden Age 

00:00:44.987 --> 00:00:48.367 
The period 1980-1990 with the
Revolutionary film genre 

00:00:48.367 --> 00:00:52.227 
However, he seems most famous
when he retired. 

00:00:52.227 --> 00:00:56.070 
Looking back at my journeys from
journeys from the time at 

00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:57.467 
Vietnam Feature Film Studio 

00:00:57.467 --> 00:01:00.647 
To become famous with TV series
or deeply indebted to cinema 

00:01:00.647 --> 00:01:03.107 
Then what period of time do you remember most? 

00:01:03.981 --> 00:01:11.831 
For me, if I remember the most about the
time I worked in art, I still remember 

00:01:11.831 --> 00:01:14.601 
from the 80s to the 90s. 

00:01:15.541 --> 00:01:19.921 
Those were the years when Vietnamese
cinema developed brilliantly. 

00:01:20.461 --> 00:01:24.323 
There are many good movies, although
they are movies from the time they were 

00:01:24.323 --> 00:01:27.081 
black and white, not that
there are no color movies. 

00:01:27.081 --> 00:01:34.592 
The story is also simple, mainly a film
about history, about war, about people, 

00:01:34.592 --> 00:01:36.201 
about building socialism. 

00:01:37.921 --> 00:01:46.116 
Maybe now young people sell less to
watch, but from our time until now, 

00:01:46.116 --> 00:01:53.725 
older people, the movies our brothers
and sisters starred in that time, people 

00:01:53.725 --> 00:01:55.481 
still like them. 

00:01:55.481 --> 00:01:57.061 
And that time is almost... 

00:01:57.081 --> 00:02:01.501 
So being able to play a main role
is also very happy. 

00:02:02.301 --> 00:02:09.781 
So in a year, there are many, about 4-5
films, and few, sometimes 2-3 films. 

00:02:10.441 --> 00:02:13.901 
But I am very proud to play a main role. 

00:02:14.281 --> 00:02:21.947 
So that's why those years left a very
heavy mark in my head that almost every 

00:02:21.947 --> 00:02:24.821 
year I got a main role. 

00:02:27.081 --> 00:02:34.803 
Partly, I probably also have a bit of
talent, a bit of passion, but the 

00:02:34.803 --> 00:02:38.921 
important part is that it
must be compatible. 

00:02:39.921 --> 00:02:40.921 
Well, there are many actors. 

00:02:41.061 --> 00:02:47.475 
Actors, the Vietnam Feature Film Studio
has at least 10 young people like me, or 

00:02:47.475 --> 00:02:53.461 
the same age as me, then Central drama,
Hanoi drama, and many other troupes. 

00:02:54.461 --> 00:03:01.316 
To get a role that is heavy, that is in
that period, it is also very 

00:03:01.316 --> 00:03:02.601 
difficult to find. 

00:03:02.601 --> 00:03:07.241 
So I feel like I'm the one who gets a
lot of work done. 

00:03:07.941 --> 00:03:15.161 
However, besides labor, besides talent,
there must be a bit of luck. 

00:03:17.301 --> 00:03:24.441 
Well, I still remember those times as
times when I recorded a lot. 

00:03:25.153 --> 00:03:27.533 
It can be said that it was also a glorious youth, right? 

00:03:27.853 --> 00:03:30.013 
Then can you share more about the time that 

00:03:30.013 --> 00:03:33.874 
when making films was still facing many
difficulties and shortages of Hac Vien 

00:03:33.874 --> 00:03:35.953 
Truyen Viet Nam at that time, right? 

00:03:37.852 --> 00:03:44.212 
If there are difficulties and shortages,
I don't think it's too difficult. 

00:03:45.032 --> 00:03:47.152 
Each time people do it in a different way. 

00:03:47.972 --> 00:03:52.112 
For example, in the old days, people
filmed movies with film. 

00:03:53.632 --> 00:03:55.332 
Then it shouldn't be filmed much. 

00:03:56.232 --> 00:04:00.472 
So maybe I have to practice for
2-3 hours a scene. 

00:04:01.872 --> 00:04:05.212 
And when filming, filming as
many as 3 times. 

00:04:05.492 --> 00:04:07.792 
If you don't have one, you can take it right away. 

00:04:07.852 --> 00:04:13.512 
So now the conditions are scientific,
the technology is more advanced. 

00:04:14.092 --> 00:04:16.992 
Then maybe people film up
to 5 times, 10 times. 

00:04:17.172 --> 00:04:20.752 
Even some young people now film until 20
or 30 at some point. 

00:04:21.272 --> 00:04:23.732 
Then it's because it doesn't cost anything. 

00:04:24.072 --> 00:04:26.092 
It only takes everyone's effort. 

00:04:26.452 --> 00:04:27.932 
Not spending money like in the old days. 

00:04:28.552 --> 00:04:30.172 
So in the old days, it had to be very careful. 

00:04:30.352 --> 00:04:37.492 
And those lessons are also reserved
for me. 

00:04:37.492 --> 00:04:41.712 
So now I am very convenient in
making photojournalism films now. 

00:04:42.453 --> 00:04:46.193 
Yes, going through the long journey with
many ups and downs of the vast ocean of the whole era, 

00:04:46.413 --> 00:04:50.193 
of the history of the film studio and
also the changes in the way filmmaking technology is done, 

00:04:50.533 --> 00:04:53.833 
then what is the most different thing
you see in each of those changes? 

00:04:55.187 --> 00:05:04.745 
In each change, for example, in the old
days, making films was mainly for 

00:05:04.745 --> 00:05:10.207 
propaganda, to contribute a spiritual
dish to society. 

00:05:11.047 --> 00:05:12.807 
That's an old movie. 

00:05:13.427 --> 00:05:16.907 
The topic can be encapsulated in
a number of fields. 

00:05:16.907 --> 00:05:24.819 
But the important thing is that when it
was done in the old days, it was not 

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:27.147 
affected by many other factors. 

00:05:27.947 --> 00:05:29.507 
Time doesn't matter. 

00:05:31.367 --> 00:05:32.687 
There are films that people film for several years. 

00:05:34.367 --> 00:05:37.227 
With one film, one year is normal. 

00:05:38.267 --> 00:05:41.287 
And making movies means having no money. 

00:05:42.367 --> 00:05:44.167 
Then we're eating the trunk. 

00:05:44.307 --> 00:05:46.247 
So making movies is just my job. 

00:05:48.227 --> 00:05:50.687 
Only later did I get a little money. 

00:05:51.647 --> 00:05:52.987 
Then now it's different. 

00:05:53.507 --> 00:05:56.647 
Now movies have broad topics. 

00:05:57.547 --> 00:06:00.127 
It can do all kinds of topics. 

00:06:01.127 --> 00:06:07.747 
Horror, then drama, then history, then
so on. 

00:06:08.367 --> 00:06:13.867 
Well then, but it is constrained by
a plan. 

00:06:14.807 --> 00:06:16.827 
Because one film a day it turns out. 

00:06:16.907 --> 00:06:23.627 
A TV series episode now takes 3 to 5
days to finish one episode. 

00:06:24.567 --> 00:06:30.267 
So it's an example that sometimes
doesn't even come. 

00:06:31.007 --> 00:06:32.287 
There are times when filming is not beautiful. 

00:06:33.247 --> 00:06:37.827 
Or in a setting that
includes several actors. 

00:06:38.807 --> 00:06:42.687 
Well, maybe one person acts well, but
how many people don't act well. 

00:06:42.967 --> 00:06:44.807 
Then those things are really questionable. 

00:06:44.807 --> 00:06:46.227 
Things that are what it changes. 

00:06:46.907 --> 00:06:53.547 
But society is like that, so I'm an
actor, I have to accept it. 

00:06:53.787 --> 00:06:58.329 
We also have to integrate, we also have
to adapt to those conditions 

00:06:58.329 --> 00:06:59.727 
for us to do. 

00:07:00.467 --> 00:07:04.547 
Some people say that the more you live,
the more you experience 

00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:05.907 
The more it permeates human life 

00:07:05.907 --> 00:07:07.387 
Then artists will act better, okay? 

00:07:07.387 --> 00:07:08.567 
What about you? 

00:07:08.647 --> 00:07:11.667 
Is this the period when you reached
your peak in the profession? 

00:07:12.334 --> 00:07:17.405 
If you say that the longer you live, the
older you get, the more experience you 

00:07:17.405 --> 00:07:20.574 
gain, the more haggard you become,
then it's not right. 

00:07:21.834 --> 00:07:24.434 
There are many people who... 

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.1000 
From childhood to old age, there
are no good roles. 

00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:37.100 
Some people almost never get a main role
in their entire acting career. 

00:07:39.228 --> 00:07:45.348 
Then if you say it like that, I don't
think it's true. 

00:07:46.228 --> 00:07:51.408 
So that's it, first is the talent,
second is the labor, 

00:07:51.868 --> 00:07:55.148 
the third is the opportunity, the three
things that are very important. 

00:07:56.388 --> 00:08:00.068 
It's not that when you're old,
acting is better. 

00:08:00.628 --> 00:08:06.768 
Of course, when old, no one can deny
that they will have experiences, 

00:08:06.768 --> 00:08:13.208 
there are ethnic qualities from life,
this and that. 

00:08:13.808 --> 00:08:19.271 
But if you are young and can't do
anything, I think it's difficult to do 

00:08:19.271 --> 00:08:20.728 
if you are old. 

00:08:21.095 --> 00:08:23.835 
So throughout my career 

00:08:23.835 --> 00:08:29.115 
If you choose one or two roles that you
are most passionate about 

00:08:29.115 --> 00:08:31.455 
So what roles will you personally play? 

00:08:32.538 --> 00:08:39.498 
If you say "appreciated", then of course
what is recognized is "appreciated". 

00:08:40.238 --> 00:08:44.638 
Firstly, that is the movie Mua Hoi in
2000 directed by Dang Viet Minh. 

00:08:45.338 --> 00:08:48.658 
Well, that's a role that
I'm also proud of. 

00:08:49.838 --> 00:08:52.958 
Playing a role is also a mark. 

00:08:53.598 --> 00:08:58.358 
Then of course, there are some movies
that I still admire. 

00:08:58.358 --> 00:09:04.503 
For example, "Khoảnh khắc y lặng"
(Moment of Silence) of the war in 1983 

00:09:04.503 --> 00:09:06.698 
is also a favorite role. 

00:09:07.278 --> 00:09:10.238 
The role also recorded a lot. 

00:09:10.758 --> 00:09:19.938 
But for me, I feel that the roles I
play, I love them all, I like them all. 

00:09:20.478 --> 00:09:24.838 
Then each one has its own color, each
one has its own mark. 

00:09:25.978 --> 00:09:27.838 
And I all... 

00:09:28.358 --> 00:09:29.778 
Then it is worth cherishing. 

00:09:30.229 --> 00:09:31.749 
Thank you very much, Bui Be Binh women. 

00:09:31.749 --> 00:09:34.209 
Has come to chat with readers of Mac La Dong today 

00:09:34.209 --> 00:09:35.929 
And wish you good health 

00:09:35.929 --> 00:09:37.509 
As well as having a lot more 

00:09:37.509 --> 00:09:39.849 
And acting well in both film and television 

00:09:39.849 --> 00:09:42.449 
Thank you to follow our program today 

00:09:42.449 --> 00:09:44.109 
And now hello and see you again
