Why did comedian Dung Nhi inherit the role of comedian Bao Quoc?

Comedian Dung Nhi as Chuong Hau (play "The Drum of Me Linh")

Comedian Dung Nhi said that he fell into the above situation when he suddenly reviewed some of his roles in 2023, he suddenly found himself inheriting the roles of an artist he always loved and respected.

"I respect Uncle Sau Bao Quoc for his serious artistic work and his way of life towards his colleagues. Many of his roles are still loved by the audience, so when I act, I am under a lot of pressure, trying to learn from him and then find the most reasonable way to act so that the audience accepts my creativity based on the principle of Uncle Sau Bao Quoc's acting style" - the comedian, the son of the artist couple Quoc Tram - Phuong Dung, shared.

Most recently, the role of Chuong Hau in the play "Tieng Trong Me Linh", then the role of Hieu Danh in the play "Ben Cau Det Lua", both roles engraved the name of comedian Bao Quoc in the memories of audiences who love the art of Cai Luong, so for Dung Nhi to transform into these two roles is extremely difficult. "Because, uncle Sau Bao Quoc once created something unique, I am the next generation who must continue and find something newer, update more information and most importantly, find the key to bring the breath of today's life into the role" - comedian Dung Nhi shared.

Being a child of a comedy family, Dung Nhi entered the comedy world with the advantage of being able to sing vọng cổ, so no matter what role he plays, even if it makes the audience laugh, he can still "insert" a few very sweet vọng cổ lines. Since then, his roles have always received the support of the public.

However, with the roles that Meritorious Artist Bao Quoc has created, it is difficult to insert vọng cổ songs arbitrarily, so he only relies on that model to create and find his own way of acting. Thanks to his intelligence and diligence in research, his roles have gained the sympathy of the public, for example, the role of the theater manager in the play "Bandit Bach Hai Duong" - Dung Nhi plays very confidently and with great courage. The spirit of a manager who values ​​friendship is beautifully portrayed by him.

"I learned from my parents that I must always be serious and respectful in my profession. Comedy roles are difficult to play. To make the audience laugh and remember you, you cannot just act out a harsh or careless performance. You have to explore so that the laughter is intellectual, satirical, and responsible for community life," comedian Dung Nhi shared.

Many colleagues advised him to participate in the "2024 Tran Huu Trang Cai Luong Stage Actor Talent Competition", because in the system of competing roles, there are flirtatious actors, which are suitable for his strengths. However, Dung Nhi is still thinking about whether to participate in the competition or not, because he believes that the audience already loves him, so he needs to strive to maintain that affection, which is the goal he is aiming for.
