Tung Duong: 'Game shows are not everything'

Tung Duong has never been as active as he is now, but he also affirmed that it is not time to participate in game shows.

Still dreaming of the ocean

- Some Vietnamese artists have been moving towards organizing live shows abroad. Do you feel… impatient?

- I used to do shows for 3-400 people in a theater in Paris with Nguyen Le (project Unique ). There was also a time when I traveled and sang all over Germany (from Bonn, Vaima, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Dresden...) for months to have enough money to record CDs. tiny

Up to this point, it can be seen that most artists who do shows abroad often sneak into the Vietnamese community, not really singing for the Vietnamese. audiences International. Any playground that can sell tickets to foreign audiences or we sing in English at big festivals, there we have a better international spirit. However, whoever works anywhere is valuable and very good.

Tung Duong announced the live show The Singing Man with guests Trung Quan, Soobin Hoang Son, Tang Duy Tan and Double2T.

Organizing shows abroad is also a way to show gratitude to overseas Vietnamese, if possible that is good. However, Tung Duong's dream is to sing for more foreign audiences.

- Previously, Tung Duong spent a lot on projects abroad. Is it true that he is more frugal now?

- Not really, I have not found any suitable team to collaborate with for my project. There have been a few offers, Mr. Nguyen Le introduced many other bands but I still feel they are not suitable.

Investing in art is very expensive. This is a very big game for those who have the means. However, one must live within one's means . I have moderate conditions, work at a moderate level.

I've never been so diligent in making MVs as this year. I used to be too lazy. Investing in MVs is also expensive. This year I invested in 3 MVs. Phoenix wings , Men don't need to cry and here it is Rebirth, not including albums Multiverse and live shows The man sang . Well, I'll try before I'm too old to do anything interesting.

Rapper Double2T appeared in Tung Duong's MV Phoenix Wings.

Not the time for game shows yet

- Old people compete in game shows… Do you feel this is a difficult time for live shows when game shows are dominating the market share?

- If it is more difficult, I have to be more in tune with them. Everyone has their own value. Game shows are distracting the audience's attention, but that doesn't mean I can't have personal activities. Game shows are very popular, but not all audiences watch game shows.

I see Our song because "my sister" (referring to singer Thanh Lam - PV) participated. Programme yes i like it too, if i join it is fine, but not now because joining a program also takes a lot of time.

Like The older brother overcame thousands of obstacles , Tuan Hung said it took 4-5 months continuously. Tuan Hung is so strong but sometimes he feels very tired because he has to practice a lot. If I participate, I will also try my best, I also have to be very passionate. To maintain my image, to be attractive, not to be eliminated, I have to have many tricks, my fighting spirit must be high.

But unfortunately, if I fight too much, my jealousy will rise again. I just want to be calm, but it rises again, which is tiring. I would rather use that energy to create art than to fight with my colleagues to get into the "group" circle. ( laughs )

- Name the new album Multiverse Is it a way to… catch the trend?

- Even trends still need to have a mindset. In front of the universe, we are small, but each of us is a microcosm. Music still has to expand its amplitude constantly, but in life, we choose what is suitable. At 42 years old, not too young anymore, I seek tranquility to see myself more clearly, know what I want and set limits for myself.

In the movie Multiverse War , Michelle Yeoh transforms into many characters in each universe, very modern spirit. With the current version of Tung Duong, to do something macro, you have to complete the micro things first. That's why the name of the upcoming live show is simply The man sings - truly reflect yourself in the present.

Nothing is predetermined

- Does your wife participate in naming the projects?

- Wife never participates. Always has the desire to be with her husband but doesn't like noise or showing off. showbiz, she works closely with the crew, giving ideas.

- Since getting married, Tung Duong has been more determined in his career. Does his horoscope show that he relies on his wife?

- “Virtue can overcome fate”, the old saying is true. Personal effort is the most important. Horoscopes are just for reference. Life can still change, depending on one’s temperament and actions, nothing is predetermined.

I don't depend on horoscopes. I still have faith, but my life is in my hands. I want to be proactive all the time.

Now, I still seek success, I still have desires that I cannot let go of. But I still have to reduce the desires and greed that make me confused. No one thinks that they have attained enlightenment or transcended the world, they are always on the path of enlightenment, moving towards awakening.
