Peaceful residence of the Saigonese people
From a working village with more than 500 households living, after the decision to relocate, most of the people moved to other places to live, many houses were smashed and only iron frames remained, thrown on the ground.
Quiet scenery in “Bo Gia” alley in real life
At 9 am, we followed a small road at the foot of the Nguyen Van Cu Bridge (HCMC), looking towards the village of “Bo Gia”, where the main scene of the cult film of the artist Tran Thanh took place. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the neighbors working on the movies, the slow and easy pace of the people surprised us a bit.
After months of giving up some of the space to serve the film crew, the people here returned to the old rhythm of life, each with a job.
Most of the people still stay in Cu Lao village because they cannot afford to move to other places.
Sitting in front of a breakfast shop, Ms Nhung (56 years old) said that because no agreement was reached on the compensation price, her family of 5 agreed to live temporarily in an old house on Nguyen Kieu Island. without moving to another site. The fact that film crews often flock to borrow the scene for filming makes the atmosphere in Cu Lao village much less lonely.
“In the old days here, people broke all the dams, some people could not live after moving in. Tran Thanh came to film and was flooded, here all four sides are water, so the tide keeps rising. It is very intense”. , Ms. Nhung said happily.
Many houses have been demolished, the space is very quiet because few people pass
According to Ms. Nhung, in front of Tran Thanh’s film crew, there were also many film crews coming to film, the people of the island were happy, fully supporting the crew. Partly due to meeting artists, on the other hand, people are also proud of the land they live in. Some people come in and are less bored.
“Tran Thanh movies were filmed there, they covered the market and felt so crowded. The day before, she went to the cinema, the market scene made her remember the old island scenery., Now there is only that left left. “, Ms. Nhung confided.
Tran Thanh’s selection of the island to film was enthusiastically supported and assisted by the people.
The houses that appeared in the “Bo Gia” scene in real life, only the Ba Sang and Hai Giau houses were temporarily built and then dismantled.
Most of the people on the island are doing manual jobs, someone works as a maid in the apartment near their house for hours, there are small traders, loading and unloading …, they are all busy taking care of their life. Despite the many difficulties, whenever the film crew comes, the people of the island are enthusiastic to support.
People were proud, always supporting with all their might when the crew came to film.
Sitting in front of his old house, drinking tea and smiling refreshingly, Uncle Phan Hoang Lam (68 years old) said that there were many groups that came to the island to film. Referring to Old Dad, Uncle Lam said excitedly.
Uncle Lam shared about the enthusiasm and excitement of the people when Tran Thanh appeared on the island of Cu Lao.
“People here are very happy when the film crew arrives, people are very supportive of Tran Thanh, because he is famous. The film crew brings a lot of joy and benefits to people, making life more lively.
As in the previous filming of Tran Thanh, the film crew also bought it, my old corrugated iron roof was bought to prepare the scene for the movie, people could play the public role, although the money was not much, everyone was allowed to film. Have fun, meet the artist too “, As he said the passage, Uncle Lam was pensive and repentant.
However, Uncle Lam was a bit sad because Tran Thanh was not as open as other artists.
“There is one thing that Tran Thanh is too difficult to approach, there are always people who follow the embankment, he does not let anyone contact, he does not exchange anything with people either. It is time is money, I have nothing.” Contact. Blame it, it’s a bit off the beaten path. ”
According to Uncle Lam, when he learned that Tran Thanh’s movie generated revenue of more than 300 billion after 2 weeks of release, he and the people of the island were happy for Tran Thanh. Even though the crew came, it was a bit troublesome, disturbing people’s lives, but everyone happily accepted and fully supported the crew.
Living on the island for almost 70 years, Uncle Lam has been in contact with many film crews, all who come are supported by the people.
“Sometimes when filming too late, screaming for success, people fall asleep startled. But everyone is sympathetic, because it is art, problematic, but the problems are less but more fun. These days, there are many people who comes here to look for Thanh’s house (the scene according to the film) but did not come out, because he prepared the scene and then removed it “, Uncle Lam laughed.
Although knowing that a crew that comes to film will affect daily life more or less, especially the elderly, sick and infirm … but with the people of Nguyen Kieu Island, everyone does the best they can, they have good feelings. most loved by the crew.
After the chaos of the movies, the pace of life in Bo Gia Alley is surprisingly peaceful!
“Tran Thanh’s movie is funny but good, I see a lot of things that are true for my family. In the past until now, the other works are luxurious, the Tran Thanh movie is close to the people. Exploiting the psychology of workers. Great… he saw a flash of himself, his life in him.
The film had a very good impact, as his uncle after going to the movies with his friends, he automatically went home to do housework but not before “, One of the people in the alley was excited to mention Bo Gia.
