This fantasy comedy film is set to bring plenty of laughter to audiences on the first day of the new year. The movie stars Trường Giang and Mạc Văn Khoa, marking Trường Giang's return to the screen after the success of 'Superstar Siêu Ngố' in 2018.

In '30 Is Not Tet Yet', Trường Giang plays Hân, an orphan raised by his father, who frequently mistreats him. Hân leaves his hometown to make a living in the city. After 12 years, he returns home to 'claim' land from his father, Mr. Hai Chữ, in order to marry the daughter of the wealthiest real estate mogul in Saigon. However, he ends up stuck in an endless time loop, reliving the same 30th day of Tet over and over again. Mạc Văn Khoa portrays Thích Tu, Hân’s childhood friend, who has always been drawn to a spiritual path, offering Hân advice and life philosophy. His guidance helps Hân in his journey to help the villagers and save his father.

Trường Giang and Mạc Văn Khoa are both well-loved for their comedic timing. While Trường Giang is a trained actor who frequently appears in television game shows and movies, Mạc Văn Khoa has a natural charm with his humorous voice and facial expressions.

'30 Is Not Tet Yet' is set to be a hit in theaters, featuring a star-studded cast including Việt Anh, Hồng Vân, Trường Giang, Mạc Văn Khoa, and special guest appearances by Đức Phúc, Nhạc Trắng, and Huỳnh James.

Trường Giang is confident in his performance and the quality of the film. He boldly states: "If you pay 100,000 VND to see this movie during Tet and don’t think it's worth it, I’ll refund you 10 times!"

The Ambitions of Power is a comedic Tet film directed by Linh Đồng, focusing on traditional folklore. The film brings together a talented cast including NSND Tiến Đạt, NSƯT Ngân Hạnh, Trung Dân, Trà My, Giang còi, Thanh Hương, Trọng Lân, and more.

According to Director Linh Đồng, 'The Ambitions of Power' also reflects modern societal issues. He commented: 'Since there won't be a 'Táo quân' this year, audiences can enjoy 'The Ambitions of Power'. My Tet comedy will surely be better than 'Táo quân'. I am confident that my film will have a big impact and address major contemporary issues such as the Rạng Đông factory fire, polluted water in Sông Đà, harmful fine dust in the air, and inappropriate behavior in elevators with fines.'
