\u201cEm v\u00e0 Trinh\u201d biopic drops new teaser trailer<\/h2>\n
\n

There is no short supply of Vietnamese biopic movies – titles such as Farewell, Saigon (1990), Ho Chi Minh in Hong Kong (2003), Don\u2019t Burn (2009), and The Partner (2013) are the epitomes of this genre in Vietnam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, all of these movies mainly focus on historical figures. That\u2019s why the upcoming movie \u201cEm v\u00e0 Trinh\u201d <\/strong>that\u2019ll be on screens in 2022 is such a new twist on the genre, as it is the first time Vietnamese audiences will have a biopic about a songwriter.<\/span><\/p>\n

New teaser trailer reignites audiences\u2019 interest<\/h3>\n
\n

On New Year\u2019s Day, a new teaser trailer of \u201cEm v\u00e0 Trinh\u201d was dropped, which rocked the internet and hyped up fans. Although the exact release date is still unspecified, the public audience can likely enjoy this movie this April since the country is loosening up its pandemic-prevention measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEm v\u00e0 Trinh\u201d tells the life story of Trinh Cong Son (1939-2001), one of the most renowned songwriters in Vietnam. His prolific career stretched from the 1950s to the 1990s, during which he wrote hundreds of songs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The recurring themes of Trinh Cong Son\u2019s works include philosophical thoughts, anti-war struggles, and romances. His works not only<\/span> bolstered his reputation but also shot many of their singers to stardom. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>According to Galaxy M&E – the movie distributor in Vietnam, the movie will feature up to 50 remastered pieces composed by Trinh Cong Son. The experienced musician Tran Huu Tuan Bach also scores this movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

An ambitious movie about an iconic songwriter<\/b><\/h3>\n
\n

Due to his prominence in Vietnam, the project caught much public attention right from its first press conference in March 2019. With a budget o<\/span>f VND50,000,000,000 (~USD2,000,000),<\/span> the movie is directed by Phan Gia Nhat Linh and produced by Nguyen Quan Dung, who used to know Trinh Cong Son through his father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The crew have also consulted Trinh Cong Son\u2019s family to ensure an accurate depiction of his life. In October 2019, the cast for Trinh Cong Son and his muses were revealed, which eventually evoked much discussion among netizens. Filming started one month later, capturing many magnificent landscapes such as <\/span>Hue<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Dalat<\/span><\/a>, and Ho Chi Minh City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Movie release pushed back due to Covid-19<\/h3>\n
\n

Unfortunately, right after the crew wrapped up in March 2021, a <\/span>new wave of Covid-19 struck Ho Chi Minh City<\/span><\/a> and many southern provinces of Vietnam. All cinemas had to shut down for months due to the social distancing policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On 8 October 2021, to fans\u2019 frustration, the movie had to lift its initial release from Christmas 2021 to an unspecified day in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, to compensate for the delay, the producers have introduced an affiliate podcast name<\/span>d <\/span>Nang thuy tinh<\/span><\/a> (Cr<\/span>ystalline Sunshine). Hosted by the two lead actors, this podcast shed light on many aspects related to Tr\u1ecbnh C\u00f4ng S\u01a1n. A mini-concert was also held to celebrate the beloved songwriter on 30 December 2021.<\/span>
