The competition between beauty queens of Tet film season

Three beauty queens Tieu Vy, Ky Duyen and Doan Thien An all appeared in movies released during the Lunar New Year this year. Their appearance promises to bring a breath of fresh air, but their acting ability is still questionable to the audience.

Coincidentally, miss Tieu Vy, Ky Duyen, and Doan Thien An all have movies released during this year's Lunar New Year.

Miss Vietnam 2018 Tieu Vy and Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Ky Duyen attracted attention when they collaborated for the first time, playing love rivals in The Avengers Quartet Tran Thanh.

Meanwhile, Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 Doan Thien An trusted to play the female lead role in Billion Dollar Kiss - The debut film was directed and produced by Thu Trang.

Tieu Vy "clash" Ky Duyen

The Four Panthers is the fourth movie that Tran Thanh has directed, and is also the project that gathers the most famous people in the series of movies shown during Lunar New Year 2025.

The cast appearing in the film includes Tran Thanh, Le Giang, Le Duong Bao Lam, Quoc Anh, Uyen An... The participation of Tieu Vy and Ky Duyen and playing two important characters in the film helps make the work more attractive.

Tieu Vy and Ky Duyen acted together for the first time in a Tet movie directed by Tran Thanh.

Previously, Tieu Vy attracted attention when she entered the film industry with a small role in a horror movie. Jackpot Island – Mother and child are the same. (2022). Although the work did not explode at the box office, she still left a good impression with her natural and graceful acting.

Last year, Tieu Vy had the opportunity to cooperate with Tran Thanh in the movie Mai . However, the beauty queen born in 2000 only participated as a guest, appearing briefly at the end of the film and did not play an important role in the main plot.

This time Tran Thanh showed a lot of favor, giving Tieu Vy more roles to have the opportunity to shine on the big screen.

In The Four Guardians , Tieu Vy plays the role of a young girl named Quynh Vy - who is living happily with her husband Quoc Anh (Quoc Anh) but suspects that their marriage is on the rocks. The character believes that her husband is having an affair with a third person, Karen (Ky Duyen), so she seeks help from the "four" including: Auntie Four (Le Giang), Uncle Muoi Mot (Tran Thanh), Jessica (Le Duong Bao Lam) and Kieu (Uyen An).

It seems that director Tran Thanh not only has special affection for the two beauty queens but also “tailored” the roles for them. Tieu Vy continues to play a feminine character, somewhat spoiled and fond of being pampered.

Meanwhile, Ky Duyen was given a more edgy and individualistic role. The cold and sharp image is almost suitable for the 1996-born beauty queen, helping her stand out and bring a completely different color to Tieu Vy.

This is the first time Ky Duyen has entered the film industry but she is not afraid to play the role of a "third person" who breaks up someone else's marriage. However, in the trailer, she still caused controversy with her somewhat stiff face and lack of diverse expressions.

Doan Thien An's Opportunity

Unlike Tieu Vy and Ky Duyen, Doan Thien An had more acting experience when playing a supporting role in The Prince of Bac Lieu (2024). However, the role was quite bland, so Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 did not leave much of an impression on the audience.

This time, Doan Thien An has the opportunity to affirm his acting with the first leading role in his career.

In In the movie Billionaire Kiss , the beauty plays Thuy Van - a young girl who owns a bakery in Da Lat left by her mother. After an unexpected accident, the character gets caught up in a love triangle with two guys with opposite personalities: One is the young master Tu (Ma Ran Do) who is famous for being rich and a playboy, the other is the young, successful businessman Quang (Le Xuan Tien).

According to the crew, Doan Thien An made a lot of effort to research and prepare for the role, taking a traditional bread making course in Da Lat before going to the filming set. She also sympathized with the main character who lost her mother early and had to do many jobs to make ends meet and be independent.

Doan Thien An co-starred with Le Xuan Tien in Billion Dollar Kiss.

In the three movies shown during Lunar New Year this year, Love the wrong best friend is the only project that does not have any beauty queens participating. However, the work gathers a cast of talented actors including Kaity Nguyen, Tran Ngoc Vang, Thanh Son...

Chief Tieu Vy, Ky Duyen and Doan Thien An are all amateurs. However, this is not the decisive factor to evaluate their acting talent. Because, there have been many famous movie stars who, despite not being trained properly from the beginning, still achieved success thanks to their efforts and spirit of continuous learning.

But in reality, many Vietnamese beauty queens have previously attracted attention when venturing into acting, and not all of them have left a good impression on the big screen.

For example, H'Hen Nie - Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 - appears rather vaguely in action movies. 578: Madman's Bullet , the work also had poor revenue at the box office.

Miss World Vietnam 2019 Luong Thuy Linh also had a disappointing role in Appropriation (2023) - the movie received a lot of criticism for its script, acting and overuse of 18+ scenes.

However, the appearance of Tieu Vy, Ky Duyen, and Doan Thien An makes this year’s Lunar New Year film competition more attractive. The acting of the beauty queens will be a mystery, contributing to helping the projects attract more audiences to the cinema.
