What did the handsome actor from Tran Thanh's blockbuster film say when criticized for his "stiff acting"?

Hanoi [Vietnam], March 18: Responding to feedback regarding his acting in the two projects 'Thỏ ơi' and 'Bus: Chuyến xe một chiều', Trần Le Vĩnh Đam shared his honest thoughts.
On March 17th, the film project " Bus: A One-Way Trip" officially premiered in Ho Chi Minh City. This film features a cast including Van Trang , Vinh Dam, Minh Kien, Phi Phuong Anh, Hoang Long, and others, and is directed by Luk Van.
Vinh Dam's response
Among the cast, Tran Le Vinh Dam is a face that has received much attention. This is because he previously appeared in Tran Thanh 's Lunar New Year film "Tho Oi" (Oh , Little Rabbit), which grossed over 400 billion VND. Regarding comparisons of his acting abilities in the two projects, with some even suggesting that his performance in "Bus: One-Way Journey " was stiff and not as good as in the previous film, the actor stated that being compared is unavoidable. He admitted that he had anticipated this issue and acknowledged, "This is entirely my fault."
" Bus: One-Way Ride is the first feature film I participated in, so mistakes were inevitable during the filming process. After this project, I learned a lot more from Ms. Luk Vân. So I hope the audience can watch the film in a relaxed way and give me plenty of feedback to improve. In the future, I think I need to learn from previous projects and complete my works better," he expressed.
According to Vinh Dam, both of his recent films feature kissing scenes. This is what makes the actor afraid that audiences will find them boring. "But the emotions and characters are completely different. I believe audiences will see different aspects of my acting through these two films," he stated.
Accompanying Vinh Dam in many important scenes was Huynh Minh Kien. The beauty queen made her film debut with a challenging role. When talking about a notable scene in the film, she shared: "Actually, we didn't rehearse the kissing scene beforehand. But getting into character for that scene was very difficult. It was also my first on-screen kiss. Before filming that scene, we tried to live with the characters. Vinh Dam and I only aimed to film this scene once or twice."
In addition, Minh Kien also spoke about the pressure of being compared to experienced senior colleagues: "I feel pressure, but I am also very proud to have such talented senior colleagues. I don't choose to wallow in fear and believe that I can't achieve success overnight. I accept that I will face difficulties and hardships to achieve the results I desire. I believe that we should all avoid comparing ourselves to the success of others. The women in the company are also very supportive of each other. I am just focusing on the current project that has just been launched."
At the event, director Luk Vân shared specific details about her approach to spiritual themes in the film. When asked if she needed to tone down the superstitious elements, the director said: "I understand this is an educational environment - ​​a school. Initially, I wanted to make it much more intense. I also tried to tone it down a lot in ' Bus: A One-Way Trip '. But perhaps everyone here has heard the spiritual stories passed down orally about schools."
