While going to the evacuation site to say goodbye to her mother, Dung Nhi happened to meet director Quoc Long, who was looking for an actor for the role of hero Le Ma Luong in the film Song of the Battle.
Dung Nhi was chosen by director Quoc Long after an audition. However, because he was on his way to military service at the time, his role was given to someone else. After being discharged from the army, Dung Nhi returned to school and was contacted again by the film crew of “Song of the Battle”. The role of hero Le Ma Luong once again belonged to him and marked a turning point in the artist’s acting career.
