Cat Phuong: I have never met a new boyfriend, but it gives me a happier feeling than the old one

Cat Phuong has honest sharing, revolving around a new love story with her overseas Vietnamese boyfriend, as well as revelations in the upcoming comedy show, which she has cherished for many years.

Having just announced her boyfriend recently, how is he a special person to you and different from the old ones?

My boyfriend is a special person, it is also the first time that I feel such feelings. He always asked and cared about me from the smallest things. He also said that he didn't want to control me. Just wanted to know where I was going so you wouldn't worry. But if you really want to squeeze, you can't. Currently he is in the US, from the moment the relationship was budding, he made everything public, trusting me, from work, where to settle down, how. I also ask permission to hide all information about age, work, moreover, he does not use social networks, only communicates by phone.

As an overseas Vietnamese living abroad, how often does your boyfriend return home to meet his girlfriend?

Since then, he has never returned. I've never met him, I've been a fan of mine for decades, but I've never met him. I mean, he must have known. Currently, we only talk via video call every day.

Is such a long distance love a challenge for you? With someone you've never met, do you feel adventurous?

Long distance love for me is not a challenge, for me close love is scary. As for the risk, it depends on each person's feelings. A young, inexperienced person will fall in love with their own feelings, I'm older, so it must be different. I was pretty helpless at the time, but he wanted me to show him what I believed in. What I believe in him the most is that he even showed me the divorce papers. The second one, is his child, he took a picture for me to see and frankly introduced this is his son. Daily work is also filmed for me, not hiding anything.

What made you decide to love a stranger, decide to enter a new love relationship?

Simply out of interest. I have never been cared for and protected as in this love, even though he is far away. He texted me early in the morning, my boyfriend always wants me to be the first to read his texts every day. Naturally, I found this to be nice and warm, too. He also shared, now that long-distance love only knows how to do such things with me, but doesn't know what to do anymore. Every day, I open messages and receive wishes, for me that is enough.

I am also a forgetful person, forget to eat, forget things. But now someone reminds me, knows and understands my personality. I also wondered why I knew, only to realize that he followed me regularly on social media, with funny posts about his bad habits.

Even when I went home, asked if I was done with work, I got in the car and he talked on the phone because I was afraid I would be sad. I went into the house, locked the door, then he turned off the phone and wished me good night. I realized that no one had ever treated me like this before, out of time zone but still waiting for me. I was even so afraid that I was so dangerous that when I unlocked the door, someone would follow me and do bad things. Always reminding me of many things, reminding my son to take care of his mother.

As someone who has known you before, what is the biggest memory your boyfriend had with you before getting to know each other?

He said I've been a fan for almost 20 years. Once he ran after me, watching me perform one night of 14 shows. And this number is real, my peak was 14 shows. He followed me around the venues without my knowledge. My boyfriend said that at that time, he was simply a fan, but later on, he saw that I was a person who lived for others, or did charity. Everything then turns to love and respect.

Until I got married, then divorced, he was still silently watching. When I divorced, a year later his marriage also broke up. The reason, my boyfriend did not say, is just a personal matter of husband and wife.

Having suffered in love, when entering a new relationship like the present, do you feel afraid?

I have nothing left to lose. I am a person who, every time I love, I will love like I have never been loved before. But I will also always think the most negative things. I thought they'd just leave me in the end, but if it did happen, I'd be prepared and wouldn't be shocked.

Do you want to get married with a new boyfriend? Has he ever asked to marry you?

Of course yes. I used to joke that I planned to have a big birthday at the age of 30, which is half my life, but I couldn't because I didn't have enough money. Now nearly 60 years old, I will definitely make another birthday bigger, a lifetime. He joked that maybe we could get married sometime.

But I frankly won't get married, because every time I get married, put on a bride's dress, it's like that love will also fall apart. If you go further, put on a big diamond ring for me and come together. As for the fact that he wanted to appear at the party, I would come with a mask on.

Do you suggest that the two of you come back together, because it is impossible to love each other for a long time?

I'm a person who doesn't like suggestions, I can't force people myself. Why didn't I go there but let people come here for me, while the work there has been decades. Now the US and Vietnam are not far away, buying a plane ticket is 2 days to arrive. You can come back here to visit your hometown, that's fine.

How does the mother have a new lover, how does your son talk and support you? Is your boyfriend close to Bom?

Bom always encourages and cares for me. My son said that he hopes this will be the person to accompany his mother until the end of his life. My boyfriend also asked for my child's social network, both of them are quiet because they are not active, but always follow and pay attention to their mother. My lover also often texts to ask questions about Bom's study and health. He also praised Bom for being a good person, one-sidedly yes, a lot of praise.

What is the relationship between you and Kieu Minh Tuan after more than a year of public separation?

We are still normal with each other. The fact that I made a newcomer public, neither Kieu Minh Tuan nor Thai Hoa touched anything, because the more they talked, the more ungrateful they were, so it was not right for them to speak up. Bom also often texted Kieu Minh Tuan, asking about his health. I also don't mind or hate anyone, it's over.

What motivates and motivates you to perform an upcoming comedy show, with the participation of very hot names like Hoai Linh, Minh Nhi,...?

This is also not the first time that I want to do a musical, comedy show but the 3rd time. The reason I decided to do the show, is because a lot of viewers texted me asking why I didn't do it. drama shows, like in the old days I used to do comedy on stages. After a day of it, some younger brothers also asked me, so that motivated me to do it. The current economic times are not like the old days, ticket sales are also quite low. My ticket is only 500 thousand which is the highest. Also quite pocketable.

What is the most special thing about this show in your opinion?

I will do comedy for 2 generations, for example, I will arrange Hoai Linh with Mac Van Khoa. Each book will take about 30-40 minutes. My wish is to revive the comedy of the stage, I thought I should just get serious. Then every night, the audience will want to go to the stage to be watched. Now instead of each person holding a phone at home, they drive each other to the theater to watch on the weekends. I will plan twice a month, to light up to serve the audience.

The whole show will be directed by me, the scripts will be old scripts about 5-6 years ago, developing more situations. The cast of invited guests is also great, such as Tiet Cuong, Minh Nhi, Hoai Linh, Mac Van Khoa, La Thanh, Lac Hoang Long,...

Hoai Linh's appearance is also what attracts everyone's attention. After the storm has passed, is it difficult for you to convince him to join?

Actually, this is also Mr. Linh's wish, so when I sent the invitation, he immediately accepted. I think if we take it seriously, the audience will never turn away. Linh also shares the same wish as me, to bring comedy to life in the hearts of the public. In the past, after making plays and selling them to stations, then performing them on stage again, the audience would certainly feel bored.

But now, I will do it again. Each month will do a drama, after the new month will do a completely new one. I understand, audiences pay money, people come to see them asking for a high artistic value.

Regarding the sanding for artists, especially big names, how do you handle this to satisfy both sides?

What I'm most looking forward to right now is just hoping to sell out all the tickets. Next is all brothers and sisters, everyone understands the situation at each show, each stage and the number of tickets sold. I paid my salary and no one complained. But this show, the stage only has 500 seats, the ticket price is quite cheap. When I invited, I also presented everything, everyone understood and agreed. It's important that we do it for the audience.

The sand will certainly not be high, it is impossible for one person to take 20-30 million per night. It's just teaming up with everyone doing it together. However, if all tickets are sold, they will still pay the appropriate salary. But no one has talked to me yet, but I will understand the measurement for everyone's satisfaction. As for the costs, it is natural to have to pay.

About the cost after you calculate, how much does the show show?

I also just did a math problem, where the number would fall closer to 200 million. If I had sponsors before, I would have been less worried, but this show is not. It's all out of my own pocket. I don't like borrowing either, but given the situation, it's a must. Regarding the information I have the backing source, of course there will be. But that money is also my money to work for, and accumulated for many years. As for my boyfriend, I'm sure he'll have it if needed.

Thank you Cat Phuong for your sincere sharing above.
