The nickname "queen of film music" is too extravagant
- "Khep lai khong dang" is a new composition by musician Ho Hoai Anh for the movie "Gio ngang khoa troi xanh" currently airing on prime time on VTV. Why did you choose this song as the MV for your comeback after a period of not releasing any music products but only focusing on singing at important events on A80?
This is a song with many experiences in Ho Hoai Anh's life that the musician wants to bring to the audience, especially it is the experience of a male musician writing for the feelings of girls. In the song there is a line: "The day I was just twenty, my eyes were like dew drops". The story in the song is of adults who have passed the age of 20, have stumbled in life, still full of innocence but have had experience, gone through breakdowns.
Ngoc Anh chose this song because it was released in a movie and the audience has heard it. Therefore, in the MV, Ngoc Anh will include a scene from the movie "Wind Across the Blue Sky ". Recently, Ngoc Anh has spent time with her family, herself and important events of the country, so she wants to return to the market with a product that carries the voice, style and music Ngoc Anh is pursuing to send to the audience.
- Nguyen Ngoc Anh has performed many songs for film soundtracks. And some say that after People's Artist Mai Hoa, Nguyen Ngoc Anh is the "queen of film soundtracks". What do you think about this nickname? Film soundtracks usually have to be recorded and performed before the film is shown. Is there ever a time when a soundtrack song, after the film is broadcast, you watch the film and wish that if you could perform it again, you would do it differently?
Ngoc Anh does not dare to accept the nickname "film soundtrack queen" even though she has sung in many films. That is still something very luxurious. Ngoc Anh wants the audience to give her a fair assessment, that is, someone who sings film soundtracks with emotion, suitable for Vietnamese television dramas. It is true that Ngoc Anh has sung for many VTV films, especially long-running films. Previously, there were also invitations for Ngoc Anh to sing film soundtracks and perform a role in a film, but she never did because she wanted to focus on her singing career.
Regarding the song from the movie "Khe La Ba Dang", after recording, Ngoc Anh did not want to record another version because Ho Hoai Anh was very meticulous in expressing the musical color and singing style he was aiming for in this song. He and Ngoc Anh went into the studio and sat directly next to Ngoc Anh, taught Ngoc Anh how to sing and how to record, and together with Ngoc Anh, fixed everything.
The performance of this piece is 100% supervised by musician Ho Hoai Anh, even some words may not be clear to the audience but that is the intention of the two brothers. Because sometimes the music of many works does not need to be too clear, it has such color and spirit that will be suitable, expressing the musical language more clearly. That is not to say that we do not pay attention to singing clearly but sometimes singing the lyrics too clearly will reduce the mood of the song, especially with light music.
- The collaboration between Nguyen Ngoc Anh and musician Ho Hoai Anh this time has many new things, first of all, your singing style is different. Is that because you want to change the way Ho Hoai Anh sings?
Ho Hoai Anh wrote and Ngoc Anh instructed him very carefully on how to sing and perform the songs. Ngoc Anh works professionally but strictly follows the requirements of the musicians. Especially recently, Ngoc Anh has also changed his thinking about pop music, thinking about the development of pop music, especially singing trends that are more integrated with the world , so the way of singing will change a lot.
In the saddest and most broken moments, Ho Hoai Anh never stops trying.
- Both you and Ho Hoai Anh have experienced broken relationships, is that why the composer and the performer have a certain sympathy? "Closing unfinished" will open a new page for you?
Ngoc Anh and Ho Hoai Anh have a lot in common in their thinking and opinions about life. Everyone has broken hearts, everyone makes mistakes in life, everyone has happy and sad experiences... lots of emotions. But not everyone can get out of negative emotions.
Ngoc Anh always admires and respects the talent of musician Ho Hoai Anh. As a colleague, Ngoc Anh once again wants his talent to develop more brilliantly because he is a talented person with a passion for his profession.
As a younger brother who has been playing with him for a long time, Ngoc Anh wants musician Ho Hoai Anh to change his life in a more optimistic and positive direction. Ngoc Anh has seen that in him. Musician Ho Hoai Anh has stepped out of sadness and negative emotions to continue developing his artistic path. Not everyone can do that through unexpected events in life.
For many people, it is a change of direction, but for Ho Hoai Anh, Ngoc Anh sees it as a great personal effort, wanting to dedicate to art, being passionate about art, and in the saddest, most disappointed, most broken moments, he still never stops trying to bring emotions and positive energy to the audience through music. That is what artists and colleagues all acknowledge.
In life, no one can predict anything. When things happen, we have to accept them and find a way to overcome them. If we can overcome them, that is the happiest thing.
Ngoc Anh loves musician Ho Hoai Anh like a brother. Through her artistic journey, Ngoc Anh always has memories attached to him. Since coming out of the Sao Mai contest, the album Wonderful World that musician Do Bao made for Ngoc Anh also had the enthusiastic participation of musician Ho Hoai Anh as the composer of the songs Mat Buon and Phone Som .
Besides, musician Ho Hoai Anh was the one who did the background vocals for those two songs of Ngoc Anh. The songs Mat Buon and Phone were also liked by young people at that time and are still loved until now, trendy, easy to listen to and carry the youthful breath of life.
With the songs that musician Ho Hoai Anh wrote for Ngoc Anh recently, I also feel that energy. He is still in tune with the music of the younger generation, still in tune with what is trendy. He may still have gone through a breakdown, but the musical language is still very new.
Ngoc Anh especially sees the inner self in Ho Hoai Anh's songs. The people who go through sadness, the songs they write and perform still have depth and torment, there is an explosion of emotions that allows the audience to immerse themselves in that contemplative feeling, not superficially, listening just to like.
Ngoc Anh's new album, which will be released in October, will have a strong imprint of musician Ho Hoai Anh. Through the musical stories Ho Hoai Anh tells, Ngoc Anh feels the sadness, joy, brokenness and goodness in his soul. He always wants to aim for the good things in life. In the saddest moments of people, people with courage always rise up strongly, wanting to find light and good things because they are people with positive energy.
Ngoc Anh feels that musician Ho Hoai Anh is very dedicated to his profession and hard-working. When working with him in VTV's Talent Rendezvous , Ngoc Anh saw that he had a great capacity for work, was hard-working, persistent, and sought to catch the audience's trends and not let himself become outdated. He was the music production director of the program but always kept a low profile, everything he did was a way to prove that he loved his job, not for anything else.
- Besides the MV "Khe lai khong pham", you and Ho Hoai Anh are collaborating on an album that will be released in October. If it's not too secret, can you share what those songs are and what's special about them?
In the upcoming album, Ngoc Anh and musician Ho Hoai Anh will collaborate on 3 products, including the song "Khep lai dong dang", another song with a very famous male singer and the last song will be a solo song by Ngoc Anh. Ngoc Anh likes all the songs that musician Ho Hoai Anh wrote in this album. These are easy to listen to, touching the heart but not easy to sing. When listening to these songs, the audience should not be too strict about the way of singing, those who like the song can sing it in their own way.
When working in the studio, he understands the singers' wishes very well and guides them in the most suitable way to sing. A good producer never forces the singer to do what he wants without matching the singer's ability. They always find what they want most but is suitable for the singer's personality, creating a harmonious musical product. Ho Hoai Anh is good at creating a comfortable working mood for the singer.
