delving deeper, an exploration inside the limelight

In the heart of the bustling film industry, Tuan Tran continues to captivate audiences with his compelling performances. The recent success of the Vietnam-South Korea co-production "Mang Mẹ Đi Bỏ" has solidified his status as a rising star.

During the filming of the meal scene, Tran had to consume six or seven bowls of black bean noodles continuously, a testament to his dedication to his craft. This scene, though seemingly ordinary, was one of the most emotionally challenging for Tran, as his character knew he would abandon his mother the next day.

Tran values collaboration with passionate people and finds joy in it. His work with South Korean director Mo Hong-jin and his fellow actors, including Go Kyung Pyo, was particularly rewarding. Kyung Pyo surprised Tran with a gift after the press conference, a gesture that Tran appreciated.

Tran identifies as a perfectionist who dislikes repetition. He prefers complex villain roles with a clear motivation and a script that delves into their purpose. Despite this, he strives to be hated by the audience, even as a villain, yet dreams of portraying a villain that audiences can empathize with.

Tran does not consider himself a "name" or a box-office assurance, but rather a fortunate actor who values novelty and emotional resonance in his roles. Without a strong emotional connection to a role, he finds it difficult to convey emotion to viewers.

The success of "Mang Mẹ Đi Bỏ" has been overwhelming, earning over VND100 billion (approximately US$4 million) at the box office in just six days. Tran finds the compliment from director Mo Hong-jin encouraging and affirming.

Tran's future projects are shrouded in mystery. He has not appeared in recent projects by Tran Thanh due to his desire to stay open to learning and exploring. The director of his next film remains unknown.

Tran appreciates the richness of experience over box office success. He is moved by crew members' openness and dedication to working together. In the future, he hopes to collaborate with Hong Da as archenemies in a tense thriller.

Despite his success, Tran remains grounded. He finds joy in collaboration and values novelty and emotional resonance in his roles. He continues to push himself, striving for perfection while maintaining a connection to his characters' hearts.
