What did Quyen Linh say about the rumors of his sky-high salary and being one of the richest in showbiz?

MCQuyen Linhvery expensive, but appearing in too many shows easily makes the audience feel "bored"?

-I am not "betraying" my previous statement of "limiting appearances". I only accept about 30% of the invitations. Everyone understands after a long time fighting the epidemic.Covid-19, many people's lives were seriously affected.

So, when there is a program that I can contribute to finding jobs for those in need, there is no reason to refuse. Meanwhile, I, along with many others, am always grateful for the sacrifices of frontline doctors and volunteers in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic. They even do not care about their lives to participate in this difficult battle.

That is why when the program "Sing for Tomorrow" - honoring the medical team in the fight against Covid-19 - invited me, I immediately accepted. It is also a way for me to express my gratitude to them.

Rumor has it that Quyen Linh's MC salary is "sky-high" and he is the "richest" in showbiz?

- Just a rumor. You can't imagine what I get paid compared to the "stars" you know. I only get a fraction of what they get. But I never thought about how much I would get paid for participating in a show.

What I aim for is through that program, what can I do for people. At this age, what does money and fame mean? When I was young, I used to "agonize" about what to do to earn a lot of money. But now that I'm old, what I do that has meaning is what I care about.

Does MC Quyen Linh's views encounter opposition from his family?

- On the contrary, my wife is a strong supporter. She believes in and supports all my decisions. Whether I earn 10 dong or 1 dong, I only eat 3 bowls of rice, wear shorts, T-shirts, and flip-flops. In life, after all, we only seek peace. When I can find peace for myself, I have no reason to go another way.

It seems like he has nothing to regret?

- I don't have the habit of regretting things that have happened. Whatever has happened, good or bad, will be valuable lessons in life, from which I can make my future decisions more perfect.

The only thing that makes me feel guilty is not being able to see my children for the past 7 months. But anyway, for the safety of the whole family, my children and I have to accept the wait. But honestly, I don’t know when it will be because I keep going, and the epidemic situation is still not stable. I have to accept it.

Many people say last year was a disaster for Vietnamese showbiz?

- It's really a disaster because there are too many sad things. Artists only know how to do art, so when they start doing something else, mistakes are inevitable. In this life, nothing is absolute.

There are right and wrong, so when we talk about a problem, we should consider the cause to make things easier. Every problem can be solved. It's just a pity that some things have been solved in a rather noisy way. Honestly, I feel sad when I see artists facing difficulties even though not everyone did anything wrong.

Does that discourage you from your charity work?

- Never. I do it for the meaning of what I do, not to receive praise from others. Coming from a poor background, I understand how desperate it is for a family to not have enough to eat. I only regret not being able to do my job better, but I would never stop pursuing the work I am pursuing because of what others say.
