VietNamNet Bridge – With total investment of VND56 billion ($2.8 million), the 30-episode “Tran Thu Do” television film project was kicked off in 2009 to celebrate Hanoi’s 1000th anniversary but two years after the anniversary, the film has not been aired yet.
The project, funded by the Hanoi People's Committee, was assigned to director Dao Duy Phuc and the Feature Film Studio I (now the Feature Film JS Company I).
The project was kicked off in 2009 and was expected to be aired in October 2010 to celebrate Hanoi’s 1000th anniversary. However, at this moment, the film is still an unknown. Both the Hanoi People's Committee and the Feature Film JS Company I refused to answer the question about the "fate" of this film.
In March 2012, “Tran Thu Do” was sent to the Golden Kite Awards, the annual award of the Vietnam Cinema Association but it was disqualified because the film had not been aired on any TV channels. At that time, many people questioned about the "fate" of the movie.
A scene from the movie.
Producer Tat Binh and director Dao Duy Phuc told Dan Tri online newswire that that the Feature Film JS Company I is only responsible for production. The firm handed over the 30-episode movie to its “client” - the Hanoi People's Committee.
Dan Tri newspaper said that the only answer they had received from the Hanoi People's Committee is “When the schedule is set, the film will be aired".
Two years have passed but the historical film with a huge amount of investment is still somewhere. And at this moment, no one wants to ask and nor answer about this movie.
What has really happened to the expensive movie of Hanoi's millennial celebration?
