Running shows throughout Tet
- How does the success of last year affect your Tet this year?
- My success last year cannot be hidden, everyone knows (laughs). Therefore, the Tet gifts for the family this year are bigger than every year. Although Huong's parents only hope that their children will be happy when they come home, Huong still wants to show her gratitude with meaningful gifts.
However, I have to run shows throughout Tet, my schedule is full from December 25th (Lunar calendar) until the 5th and 6th of Tet. After Tet holiday, I have time to visit my family.
- After song success, surely your salary will increase dramatically?
- Regarding the salary, I do not directly manage it but the crew takes care of it. However, my salary will definitely increase dramatically because when the artist has The higher the hit and recognition, the higher the salary will be.
I am proud of having a big hit. That is what any artist wants. Also, I am proud of myself for persevering and not giving up even though there were very difficult times.
- You must be under pressure to create a hit that surpasses the shadow of "Di giua troi ruc sang"?
- Many colleagues, even the crew, are worried that the song will become too big a shadow for me. However, I don't want to put pressure on myself. I believe that music should come from genuine emotions, and I don't want to calculate too much, just focus on making the best product possible.
I don't set out to have the next hit right away. I want to keep the innocence and sincerity in my music, rather than trying to force myself to follow a formula for success. What's important to me is to continue making music with the mindset of loving it, enjoying the process, and letting things happen naturally.
After many years of composing, struggle When I sing, I define myself without being confined to any specific music genre. I have experimented with many different styles, as long as they suit me.
I understand that music trends are always changing, but I don't want to follow the trend and lose my own identity.
"I stubborn but always be responsible for your choices"
- When "Di Giua Troi Ruc Ro" went viral, the song became popular because of the love story of Pu - Chai. Many people think that the song became famous thanks to another character. Is it right to say that Ngo Lan Huong struggled with her own song?
- I was a little upset at first. Because normally, when a song becomes popular, the audience will associate it with the singer's name, but at that time, people only listened to music on TikTok without caring about the artist.
However, I realized that many young artists are in the same situation, so I am no longer sad. Moreover, I am not only a singer but also a musician, so no matter how the song is known, I am still very happy.
- How do you feel when your song's lyrics are changed?
- At first, I didn't feel annoyed but rather excited because the audience was very creative. To remake the lyrics to match the melody like that requires musical talent. However, I only felt a little upset when some people said that the song became famous thanks to that remake, because in fact the song had been widely spread before that.
Each song has its own destiny and reaches the audience in different ways. My song was known before thanks to the movie. Walk in the bright sky and has been used in numerous travel videos, school and community events, and coronations. So to say that the song is only popular because of the parody version is unfair to me.
- Many times Ngo Lan Huong said she struggled with her career for nearly 10 years, how did you overcome that period?
- I encountered many difficulties, at times I thought I could not continue. But I always persevered on the path I chose. Music to me is not just a job, it is a passion. I sing and make music not to become famous but also because of my love for music with the desire to spread thoughts and emotions through songs.
Many people ask me if I feel sad when my colleagues go faster than me, I always answer "No". I accept the path I choose and am responsible for that choice. Everyone has their own journey, and success does not necessarily come early.
Looking back, I sometimes wonder how I was able to get through those difficult times. But I think my strength was my “toughness”.
