Now when playing the role of singer Khanh Ly – a musical monument, Bui Lan Huong has received more and more attention from the public.

So when filming, Bui Lan Huong knew that she couldn’t pretend to just take a breath to release the smoke, she had to really know how to smoke to resemble Khanh Ly’s charisma. So the female singer had to practice for a long time, even when not smoking, she had to hold it to get used to the feeling.

However, Bui Lan Huong said that after filming the movie, she was not addicted to smoking. Only around the time of practicing smoking, she felt that her skin had changed somewhat, no longer beautiful and it seemed that her breath was not as fresh as usual.

In addition, Bui Lan Huong also had to sacrifice her existing eyebrows to shave them all off and paint them again because the singer Khanh Ly’s eyebrows were very thin in the past.

“New eyebrows must be shaved. The amount of time I don’t have eyebrows is also very long“, the female singer witty said.

Besides, the voice was also practiced by Bui Lan Huong the most. Follow her the way she sings Khanh Ly and the ladies and gentlemen of the past are different from the present. So the female singer had to use the singing style of that period and practice day by day so that people would immediately remember that time.

“Each person’s voice has its own DNA, if you use the voice of the actual character in the voice of the actor, it is no longer the character and sounds very fake. That’s why I tried to change my voice and practice singing, but it’s impossible to be 100% like the original“, she shared.

Bui Lan Huong recreated the image of singer Khanh Ly, performing the song “Looking at the Fall” next to the guitar accompaniment of “Trinh Cong Son” Avin Lu right at the event.

At the event, the film crew revealed “terrible” numbers about the project: the cost of 50 billion VND, 5 years of preparation, 40 key actors, 3000 mass actors, and many great scenes stretching from Hue to Ho Chi Minh City throughout the period from 1960-1990 with 1000 costumes during 65 days of filming…

The representative of the musician’s family – Mrs. Trinh Vinh Trinh was moved to tears after reviewing the film’s trailer. She said that not only siblings but also grandchildren in the family also cried when watching the movie because they remembered the late talented musician.
