Viet Huong's 6 billion VND live show: Tears falling in the rain

Despite the heavy rain, the audience did not leave. The actors braved the wetness to complete the first live show of Viet Huong's career.

After more than 20 years on stage, for the first time comedian Viet Huong organized a live show at Military Zone 7 Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City with a capacity of 15,000 spectators.

Many people said that “Sau Banh’s wife” was extravagant when she invested nearly 6 billion VND and gave away more than 13,000 free tickets to her fans. But after watching Huong show, the public will have a different view of the overseas female comedian.

The rain was terrible for 2 hours

Saigon is in the middle of a rainy season, so many people are worried about Viet Huong's live show. But before the show, the weather was still clear and cool, making everyone believe that "the sky loves" the female artist.

The audience came to the live show with a relaxed mindset. However, as soon as the first act started, the rain started to fall lightly and gradually became heavier until the show ended with no sign of stopping.

It was thought that at that time, Viet Huong and her colleagues would ask permission to stay and wait for the rain to stop or that the audience would leave because the area below the stage was exposed to the "fickle" weather.

But despite the heavy rain, the artists and fans, soaked, still stood there, fighting the cruel rain with great enthusiasm.

No one left, except for the children whose parents found shelter from the rain. Viet Huong and her colleagues were drenched in the rain despite microphones malfunctioning due to the weather, the slippery stage floor that could easily lead to falls, and clothes and hair that stuck to their bodies that could cause colds.

Seeing La Thanh drenched and having to continuously wipe his face, or Hoai Linh's skinny body shivering in the cold, and especially Viet Huong's tears mixed with rainwater, made many people feel sorry.

The applause from the audience seemed to stimulate the artists' passion for their profession. Without anyone telling them, the audience continuously clapped to encourage the actors on stage.

The love of the audience created the strength so that no one complained. Le Giang even teased the weather many times, creating hearty laughter in the midst of the heavy rain. Although the rain was getting heavier, the artists on stage were not affected.

Viet Huong tried to control her emotions, when the show ended, she burst into tears, forcing Hoai Linh to hold her hand tightly to calm her beloved brother down.

Seeing tens of thousands of spectators brave the rain with her, she couldn't help but feel guilty, so she promised to make up for it with another live show, which would be "drier and warmer" next year.

The female artist bowed her head in apology and continuously thanked her fans for their love.

Although "heaven did not show mercy", Huong show created an effect beyond expectations thanks to the "courage" of the artists.

Is the Huong show worth nearly 6 billion VND?

It can be affirmed that Viet Huong's live show is a program of new things.

Previously, the female comedian promised to bring stage techniques from Las Vegas to Vietnam to stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that for the first time, the audience witnessed a comedian investing in stage, sound and lighting that exceeded the standards of a singer.

According to the disclosure of “manager” Hoang Tuan, this cost more than 2 billion VND. Thanks to that, viewers, no matter where they sit, can follow every movement of the artists on stage, something that other live shows have not been able to do before.

The novelty also lies in the script. Viet Huong has many famous skits that make the audience laugh, but in this live show, she uses completely new acts.

In particular, the female artist originally from Dong Nai does not focus too much on comedy but deliberately pushes tragedy into each skit.

During the 2 hours, viewers occasionally burst out laughing because of the charm of Hoai Linh or Le Giang and the humorous situations of the artist group (including Huynh Lap, Tien Khoa, Mac Van Khoa...).

Tears and emotions subsided after the show ended. That ingenuity was shown through the hands of the scriptwriters including artists Minh Nhi and Cong Ninh – two teachers of Viet Huong.

The positive contribution is partly due to the group of young artists. In the press conference introducing the live show, Viet Huong affirmed that she would bring young artists as guests instead of the current popular comedians.

She admires their youthful, dynamic thinking and the combination of the two generations is indeed quite harmonious.

However, not everything is perfect. Viet Huong's fresh thinking is welcome in the current context of vulgar and easy comedy. However, the program is still not as special and satisfying as expected.

If the script was invested in more deeply or more valuable situations were created, the Huong show would have ended in joy instead of the feeling of "not being satisfied" that many people felt.
