A street singer from Nghe An borrowed money to make a film about his life.

(Baonghean.vn) - Failing to advance to the next round of the "X-Factor" contest, Le Cuong - a street singer from Quynh Luu (Nghe An) decided to release a short music video about his life. Because of his passion for music, and the goal of returning to participate in the first round of the "X-Factor" Liveshow, Cuong "risked" borrowing money at high interest rates to invest in a music product called "Temporarily leaving the city".

Watch the musical "Temporarily away from the city":

Le Cuong, a young man born in 1987 from Quynh Luu district, once caused a stir in the X-Factor program on VTV3 because of his singing voice and passion. Having been passionate about singing since he was a buffalo herder in his hometown, growing up he still could not give up his dream of pursuing a singing career, so he decided to go to Ho Chi Minh City to make that dream come true.

Cuong traveled all over Saigon, working for hire to nurture his passion. And busking was one of the “jobs” he chose to both earn money and sing for people to listen to.

Cuong was not discouraged after participating in the show "The X Factor" and being eliminated after the competition round. This year's X Factor has a rule of giving away tickets to contestants who have their own music products and receive the most response from the online community. Therefore, Cuong decided to release his own music product called "Temporarily leaving the city".

The short film, which is over 13 minutes long, depicts the real life of Cuong. A country boy who loves to sing, dreams of becoming a true singer and goes through many hardships and difficulties.

With only 10 million VND in hand, the cost of creating a music product is many times more than that. After 3 nights of staying up all night to complete the script, Le Cuong sold his car, phone, borrowed money from relatives and even took out high-interest loans to invest in his "child". The goal was to conquer the judges and the audience of "The X Factor", and at the same time, it was also a long-cherished dream of the Nghe An man.

Despite the hardships, there was someone who fell in love with the poor boy.

Cuong confided: “I myself do not know how this product will be received by the audience and fans, but because of my passion and career, I decided to put all my effort and money into it. I hope that the industry will see my efforts and support me. Especially the audience, I hope that you will welcome and support me wholeheartedly.”

The release of this music product was a big surprise for Cuong's family, but through this, his parents and relatives understood their son's passion and supported Cuong to continue pursuing his singing career.

Currently in the rankings, Le Van Cuong is ranked 8th in the program "The X Factor"

Le Cuong shared that if this time his music product still cannot conquer the audience, Cuong will continue to busk to have money to pay off the loan, and still work hard to nurture his passion.
