Notably, Tran Thanh will play Uncle Ba Phi, which was successfully performed by artist Mac Can in the previous film. Uncle Ba Phi is a river people with a gift for telling funny stories.

Both the TV and movie versions are adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Doan Gioi, telling about the adventurous life of An. From a sincere and innocent boy determined to leave home to find his father, An grew up when he met the generous Southern people and experienced many dangerous moments that almost died. In the old version, An is a role associated with the name Hung Thuan, helping him to become a star.

While the film crew was recruiting actors, Phong went back to his hometown to study. I remember the last day was 7/2. When I accidentally asked the girl in charge of casting, she said she was still looking for two main roles. I just sent information about Ky Phong, but I didn’t think much. Until the day the company officially announced the baby was chosen, my happiness suddenly broke out.”
The actress affirmed that because she was used to acting, Ky Phong was very loose, comfortable, and not pressured by anything. Before the film crew started filming, the child actors returned to Kieu Trinh’s hometown to experience the river life to get acquainted first. “I trained the children to go to the fields, ride buffaloes, harvest rice…”, Kieu Trinh said.
