Dong Thien Duc - owner of many hits such as Who is loyal to love forever, Tomorrow people get married,..
Dong Thien Duc (real name Dang Huu Duc) said that the success of "Tomorrow, Someone Gets Married" was beyond his imagination.
Like many others, when introducing a music product to the audience, he also hoped that the song would be a hit. But he did not think it could become a song that is heard everywhere like it is now.
He said: "When I released this product, I thought, if it doesn't become a hit by the end of the year, I'll hibernate under the covers. Because I really like this song. But luckily, the song has been loved by so many people."
Dong Thien Duc admitted that he has been involved in music writing for 13 years and that he has often felt "depressed" by other people's speculations.
He confided: "I don't understand why my neighbors have so much free time to make up stories about such a terrible life. Seeing that I just stay at home and have a decent house and car, they say that my husband and I are so rich because we sell drugs?
It is also understandable for the neighbors' doubts because until now people still do not know that "the Duc "fish" guy they know and the musician Dong Thien Duc that everyone has been calling recently are the same person" - musician Dong Thien Duc shared.
He said he hates the glitz of showbiz.
Duc said he was good at literature since he was young and had a talent for music. He started composing since middle school. However, Duc's future direction is to become the CEO of a network management company because "I am very good at information technology".
Then, he founded a software company as he wished. It just wasn't as successful as he had hoped.
After failing, he brought his wife and children back to Binh Duong to live. To support his family, Duc did all kinds of jobs, from selling fish every afternoon to filming. All kinds. But people still called him Duc "fish" because every afternoon he and his wife would take them to the market intersection to make a living.
But his passion for writing music is still there. Every night is the time he spends on his composing work because "night is when I feel free and not affected by money and food".
Up to now, Dong Thien Duc boasts that he has "more than 200 compositions. Each quarter, the copyright fee received from the Copyright Protection Center is about 200 million VND.
"It is normal for a song to sell for 40-50 million VND. However, there are songs that take me more than a month to write, so singers usually pay me around 150 to 200 million VND/song," the musician boasted.
You can wear the same suit for 5 years and shoes you never bought for 1 million VND because it is not necessary.
With this very stable income, Dong Thien Duc has a fairly comfortable and satisfied life. He said that because he has 3 children, he also bought 3 houses as a dowry.
After paying off the debt on this third house, he will spend time for himself. That is to fulfill his wish to take his wife on trips everywhere.
He said: "I don't hang out with many people in the industry because I don't have much money to spend on these parties. If someone treats me to 5-7 meals, I have to treat them to 2-3 meals in return. Every time I pay them, I think to myself, 'Oh no, this money could buy milk for my child for a whole month.' So I avoid hanging out with people."
The harmony of emotion and reason helps Dong Thien Duc reap many successes.
Dong Thien Duc's music is loved for its poetic lyrics and gentle melodies. Duc said "because I love literature and want to release good products like my predecessors in the past".
