The male lead of ‘Storm through the village’: The wife and children are even, the lonely one

People’s Artist Cong Ly, Meritorious Artist Quoc Khanh, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang – the three male leads in “Storm through the village” have very different married lives.

Exploiting the theme of the countryside, the film Storm over the village by director Tran Quoc Trong with a duration of 30 episodes aired in 2014 caused a “storm” for viewers.

Storm over the village revolves around the lives of the people in Doi village – a village like many other rural areas in the North. The story begins when the couple’s farm Lan – Dan suddenly faces the risk of land acquisition, due to the project of opening roads and welfare works to build a new countryside. Dan and his wife fell into confusion and worry when their capital was poured into the farm. The two men agonize over a way to save their fortune, but their voices are drowned out in the tumultuous village chief election.

The film gathers famous and experienced actors: People’s Artist of JusticeMeritorious Artist Quoc Khanh, Meritorious Artist Quang Thang and Meritorious Artist Tran Hanh, Meritorious Artist Han Van Tinh – two artists have passed away.

People’s Artist Cong Ly brought to the audience a destitute Dan farmer, with a low throat and a bitter throat. People’s Artist Cong Ly is considered an actor who never gets “dead”, he plays a tragic role, he takes all of the audience’s tears, but when he plays a comedy role, the audience can’t help but laugh.

After nearly 10 years with the role of Dan in the film, People’s Artist Cong Ly also acted in many other TV series such as: Afternoon Crossing the Old Street, Rose on the Left Chest, Sunflower Against the Sun… In 2020, People’s Artist Cong Ly was appointed. held the position of Deputy Director of the Hanoi Drama Theater.

In “Storm through the village”, Meritorious Artist Quoc Khanh plays a gentle and upright village head. The film industry is considered very charming with cinema and television, but to invite Quoc Khanh to act in a movie is very difficult, because in his opinion filming takes a lot of time. However, after reading the script for this movie, “suddenly” he wanted to act again, because this is a political but gentle film with enough “happiness, anger, love, oh” of life, especially in the context of new rural life. After this movie, Quoc Khanh almost did not participate in TV series.

The aura of fame is not too attractive to Quoc Khanh, so he is often “old-fashioned” by his friends, refusing to change. The title “star” or this position in the theater is not Quoc Khanh’s destination, but he just wants to have stage roles that suit his form and mood. Even when the stage fell into a gloomy, dimly lit scene, invited by many filmmakers and artists, invited to act in movies, Quoc Khanh … enthusiastically refused. To appear on the small screen, perhaps the most persistent for Quoc Khanh is still the role of Ngoc Hoang in the show Tao Quan.

Quoc Khanh has turned 60 this year but is still single. He once revealed to the press that marriage is like a circle, sometimes he puts one foot in and then pulls it out, not daring to move forward. His family also urged him a lot but had to “give up”. Currently, the actor lives a happy single life, works hard. On his personal page, the actor does not share much other than happy working photos with colleagues.

Meritorious Artist Quang Thang recently transferred from Hai Phong to join the Hanoi Drama Theater.

The male artist is a hard-working performer. During the recent Covid-19 epidemic, it was not possible to regularly return to Hai Phong to visit his wife and children, Quang Thang said that at that time he understood the loneliness when he went to work in Hanoi, while his family was in Hai Phong. “I have raised a dog for daily companionship, stress relief and somewhat nostalgia for my wife and children. After work, I learn to cook some new dishes to help my family during reunions. I don’t think cooking is a woman’s duty,” Quang Thang shared.

Quang Thang now lives happily with his wife and 3 children. The actor is still working very hard to perform so he can afford to buy a spacious and spacious house to play with his wife and children in Hanoi.
