Because she flatly refused to “use love to change roles”, this beauty had a period of being “estranged” from showbiz.
Named “the cleanest actress in showbiz” by Sohu, Van Thien was greatly influenced by her parents' upbringing. Coming from a military family, Van Thien was taught strictly so she soon had a disciplined and orderly personality. Since childhood, the female star born in 1982 has had a passion for singing and was the only person to represent her school many times to participate in International Drama Festivals in many countries.
However, as she gradually matured, she turned to love acting. She left home and attended Shanghai Drama Academy, graduating in 2004.
Not following the “flow” path, Van Thien gradually accumulated experience from supporting roles. First projects such as Kim Toa Ky, Angel's Song, Lieu Nhu Thi. .. are all quite strange to the audience, but they contribute to helping her make a mark with her real strength. In addition, Sohu also affirmed that Van Thien is a good actress but “cannot be famous”, largely thanks to her honesty and integrity.
Van Thien when she first started her career
Because of that nature, Van Thien encountered a serious incident, causing her to be absent from the screen for a long time. Specifically, according to Sohu, the actress once received a rather sensitive proposal from a famous director. This person found her beautiful and wanted her to “use love to change roles”, with the promise of promoting her into a big star. At first, Van Thien delicately refused, not wanting to sacrifice herself because of the “hidden rules”.
She thought that if she said no, the director would let her go, but she continued to be bothered by this person calling and convincing her to “give herself up” to him. After 7 failed attempts, the director was angry and scolded Van Thien that he would no longer have a place in this showbiz.
Van Thien did not grit her teeth and accept because of the threat like many other girls, but still firmly refused. Later, just as the director warned, Van Thien suffered estrangement from the entertainment industry. For a long time, Van Thien suffered from “undercover assassination” when no one wanted to invite her to act in movies. Previously signed projects were also suddenly “cancelled”, leaving her unemployed.
However, Van Thien still did not give up. She continued to go to castings everywhere, even though each time she was sent back. Right at the time when she felt the most desperate, she met director Dinh Nguong Quoc. It was he who saw Van Thien's maturity and progressive thinking and appreciated her. Thanks to the help of director Dinh, Van Thien gradually regained her career, starting with playing a supporting role in his film My House is Very Happy.
After that, Van Thien had a golden opportunity when she was invited to participate in the first season of The Wind and the Wave, and won 2nd place overall. From now on, Van Thien seemed to be “revived” and made many great strides in her career. The 8X actress has won many major awards such as Supporting Actress Kim Ma thanks to the movie Thien Duong Trong Ngu, or most recently was nominated for Golden Rooster for her role in the movie Hoc Ba.
Van Thien is in her 40s
At the age of over 40, Van Thien is satisfied with what she has achieved. Although her name is not too explosive or at the top of showbiz, Van Thien is a “guaranteed” name in the industry for her acting quality and eye for choosing scripts. She also possesses a young and beautiful beauty, not as different as when she was in her twenties, but unfortunately there is still no “landing” for her.
