To begin, could you share with LAVYON audience about your experiences in 2024?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, 2024 has been a year of remarkable accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning to cinema with the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Face Off 7: One Wish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I had the honor of contributing to a Vietnamese film record with a box office revenue nearing 500 billion VND and over 2.6 million viewers. Following that, I continued my journey with the TV series <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B\u01b0\u1edbc ngo\u1eb7t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the Tet film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Y\u00eau nh\u1ea7m b\u1ea1n th\u00e2n<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Additionally, I ventured into entrepreneurship, launching my own company, YouTube channel, and functional food product lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has truly been an \u201cexplosive\u201d year for me!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Among all the achievements you&#8217;ve had this past year, which one are you most proud of?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, I must express my gratitude to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Face Off 7: One Wish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and its producer Ly Hai for trusting me and selecting me to be part of the film. I am proud of everything I have accomplished over the past year. As for the greatest source of pride, I think it would have to be\u2026 achieving all of this in just half a year (laughs).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98125\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1043\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0230.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0230-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0230-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>And what about 2025? Have you planned a new journey that will be even more explosive than the past year?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2025, I will continue striving to maintain this dynamic work pace. Besides that, I am nurturing plans to release a book, produce films, and launch a reality TV show. At present, I have an abundance of energy to break through, and I intend to make the most of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Could you tell us more about your business with functional food products?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first product I developed is a supplement to support sleep. Having personally gone through a long period of insomnia, I wanted to help people facing the same challenge. After that, I introduced an energy-boosting product and a brain-boosting supplement, all made from natural herbal ingredients, with a clear origin and properly certified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insomnia, lack of energy, and memory loss\u2014these are issues I have personally faced. What I\u2019ve had to overcome, I understand deeply. From that understanding, I can help others like myself achieve noticeable improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98129\" src=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1043\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0530.jpg 696w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0530-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lavyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MC0530-300x450.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>As for the reality TV show, what will the content be about?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will showcase stories from my life\u2014my work, my filmmaking process, my shows, and the relationships surrounding me.

After I moved to the U.S., we continued to stay in touch and talk regularly. Last year, when I came back to Vietnam, she invited me to her <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Madame Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in \u0110\u00e0 L\u1ea1t to celebrate her birthday.

My children have all grown up now, and some are even as tall as 1.8 meters (laughs). My family doesn\u2019t want the younger ones to be involved in showbiz\u2014they prefer a peaceful life, so I don\u2019t publicize much about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for me, I am currently single.

I\u2019ve always believed that we only live once. This journey contains invaluable experiences that we can\u2019t take with us when we leave this world. Therefore, I want to preserve the most authentic parts of myself\u2014William Truong, a singular entity that exists in this world, with no second one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Having participated in so many activities in 2024 and already planning intensely for 2025, how do you manage to balance such a heavy workload?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, work has always been about doing a lot. Though sometimes it feels overwhelming, I find happiness in it.
