What does Quang Teo do to have such a huge fortune?

A cool garden house, a comfortable 2-storey shophouse and a small house for... memories, what did Meritorious Artist Tien Quang (Quang 'teo') do to have such a huge property?

People just can't believe that a non-A-list comedian who mainly performs in the provinces for poor farmers can have such a prestigious career now?

- It was so hard, I was subjected to so many scrutiny when news broke that I was trading ivory. Then there were headlines using the words 'shocking, surprising...' because of my wealth. It was as if I had done something fraudulent to get money. For me, there was nothing shocking or surprising, it was because of my hard work. Honestly, I worked like a buffalo. Many actors say they are not as famous as me to have many shows, but if they were in my position, they could not do what I do.

Does anyone know how terribly I run shows and how frugal I am? If I go out all day eating, partying, and drinking, I will run out of money, how can I get rich? Does anyone know how many drinking parties I have to turn down to go to work? What is surprising? The press should be surprised by my hard work.

Shophouse apartment in My Dinh worth nearly 7 billion of artist Quang Teo.

My life is both an artist and a 'plowman'. When I was still at the Army Theater, there was a show that invited me to perform in Son La. I also drove there and then came back overnight, and the next morning I was home on time. No one can do what I do and drive themselves. I never hire a driver. I'm afraid of sitting behind someone else's wheel.

On the 8th day of Tet, Vuong 'beard' accepted a show at Phu Xuyen To He Village. I didn't know about it in advance, but Vuong said he had accepted it, so I didn't want people to put my name on the banner and then get upset. I accepted. However, that same day, I accepted a charity performance at a pagoda in Thuy Nguyen (Hai Phong). After the performance in Phu Xuyen, I got on the bus to Thuy Nguyen and went on stage to perform, without any time to rest or eat. After the performance, the audience rushed onto the stage to take pictures, thinking they would get a sip of water, but in the end they still didn't get it.

It is true that artists are poor, but I dare to affirm that I have worked so hard to have this property. I was so happy that when I bought a new house in My Dinh, I invited my fellow artists to my garden to slaughter pigs to celebrate. That is the result of my labor, I hope my fellow artists will be happy for me and young artists will look at that and strive to do better. Nothing comes naturally.

Dam Vinh Hung also started out as a sidewalk barber. Le Quyen is famous now, but she only had time to sing as a backup singer for me. With only 150,000 VND/show, Quyen still rode her bike to sing in the provinces, and to perform with me. That said, Dam Vinh Hung and Le Quyen did not naturally become rich and have 'fate' like they do now. The important thing is to know how to try.

Working like a 'buffalo plowing' is the secret to my having a 'huge fortune' that everyone talks about. If you don't believe me, just do as I do, maybe your fortune will be even better. I'm nothing compared to society (laughs).

Quang 'teo' and Giang 'coi' are a pair of actors who work well together and are admired by many audiences.

Many actors, when still employed at the theater, rarely perform outside shows. Aren't you afraid of being criticized for going out all the time like that?

- Oh, it's true that when I was still working, I was almost disciplined for 'taking advantage'. I often took advantage of the Theater's working hours to perform outside. I also explained that besides performing outside to increase my income and affirm my brand, it also brought fame to the Theater, I did not tarnish its image. My name is the name of the ticket seller, having me in the performance group would also make people welcome me differently.

For example, mentioning Quang 'teo' as an actor at the Army Drama Theater, Xuan Bac as an actor at the Vietnam Drama Theater, Tu Long at the Army Cheo Theater or Cong Ly at the Hanoi Drama Theater... It's so convenient, there's nothing to complain about. Besides, if we keep performing on stage and don't let us perform outside, we won't be able to reach many audiences. As long as we can guarantee our work at the Theater, that's fine.

With such a property, what are you most afraid of now?

- I am still most afraid of unemployment after retirement. I am used to performing, now even though I have enough, I still want to perform. I go to any place that invites me, I don't mind small events, there are events that only cost 2 million, and after going home to pay for gas, I still go. Because I love this job.

Thanks for sharing!
