Hanoi [Vietnam], February 13: At the premiere of the film "Thỏ ơi" (Oh, Little Rabbit), singer LyLy shared her thoughts on her role and revealed her views on the daring scenes in the project.
On the afternoon of February 12th, the premiere of the film " Tho Oi" ( Oh, Little Rabbit) directed by Tran Thanh was held in Ho Chi Minh City. The event was attended by the film's cast, including Van Mai Huong, LyLy, Phao, Quoc Anh, Vinh Dam, and others.
LyLy shares her thoughts on the intimate scenes in Tran Thanh's film.
One of the standout roles is Hai Linh, played by LyLy, with many daring scenes. When asked about filming these scenes, the singer humorously admitted, "My life is still fine." In addition, the 9X singer added that the experience of acting helped her change her perspective and viewpoint on the work of an actor.
LyLy confided: "Previously, I always believed I wouldn't fall in love with or marry an actor because I knew the nature of their job required them to film many movies and build relationships with many female co-stars. So I wanted to protect my feelings by avoiding actors. But after filming this movie, I have a more objective view. Even if there are intimate scenes with my co-star, as long as that person knows the boundaries between the film and real life."
LyLy added that she knows how to balance her emotions, emphasizing: "In the film, I play Hai Linh. The emotions in the film are very real, but LyLy is LyLy, Hai Linh is Hai Linh; there's no ambiguity here at all."
Speaking further about her family's reaction to the daring scenes in the film, LyLy admitted she "doesn't know yet." She said she is also anxiously awaiting their feedback but is ready to answer any questions. "I'm not afraid of anything; as long as everyone likes it and feels my performance is good, that's all that matters. I can handle everything else," the singer emphasized.
LyLy further shared that when the poster was released, there were many doubts about her acting as well as that of her colleagues because they were all inexperienced in the film industry. But when participating in this project with Tran Thanh, the female star and her colleagues did not approach it with the mindset of singers and rappers acting in a film, but instead "tried their best to do their roles well."
Speaking about being used to promote the film, LyLy emphasized: "It's not that I don't dare, but I don't like it. I've made music and released products before, but my principle is not to use that to promote my products; what matters is the quality of the song. I think the same way about this film; the film's quality is strong enough that it doesn't need that tactic to attract attention."
At the event, Tran Thanh shared insights into the making of "Tho Oi" (Oh, Little Rabbit). He stated that this is an experimental project, where he wanted to tell a relatable yet edgy psychological story, reflecting seemingly perfect relationships in modern society. Instead of focusing on the familiar festive atmosphere of Lunar New Year films, this project chose a more subdued approach, delving deeper into the characters' inner thoughts and emotional conflicts.
Explaining his decision to give opportunities to young actors, Tran Thanh shared that he only chooses those who are suitable for the role, and he wouldn't give a role to someone who lacks potential or the ability to carry it. Regarding the film's 18+ rating, Tran Thanh said: "I think filmmaking should be thorough, it should make people believe the story you're telling. Don't let numbers limit you. A film with heavy psychological content, with jokes that are psychologically provocative, will be much more convincing with an 18+ rating."
