Tung Duong: 'Game show is not everything'

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

Still dreaming of the ocean

- Some Vietnamese artists have been and are 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 There was also a time when I traveled and sang all over Germany (from Bonn, Vaima Frankfurt, Leipzig, Dresden...) for months to earn 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 and don't really sing 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 Man Who Sings" 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's good. However, Tung Duong's dream is to sing for more foreign audiences.

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

- Not really, I haven't found any team that is suitable for my project to collaborate with. There were also a few offers, Mr. Nguyen Le introduced many other bands but I still feel it is not suitable.

Investing in art is very expensive. This is a very big game for those who have the means. However, you have to live within your means . I have moderate conditions, work at a moderate level.

I have never been so diligent in releasing 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 album Multiverse and live show 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 have the spirit to go along 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 hot, but not all audiences watch game shows.

I see Our song because "my sister" (meaning singer Thanh Lam - PV) participated. Programme yes i like it too, if i join it's ok, 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, the 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 needs to expand its range 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 Tung Duong's version at this time, 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, coming up with ideas.

- Since getting married, Tung Duong has been more determined in his career. Does his horoscope show that he depends 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 always be in control.

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, towards awakening.
