Minh Nhi was sabotaged by Thai Hoa, resulting in financial losses, and a huge debt ledger that Viet Huong had carefully hidden was revealed.

In the latest behind-the-scenes footage of the "Rural Star" program, director Khuong Dua revealed some hilarious and poignant anecdotes about Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi's early days in his career, filled with hardship but also warmth and camaraderie among artists.

The era of "boss" Minh Nhi and "accountant" Viet Huong

Few people know that, before becoming a veteran of the comedy scene, Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi once owned a canteen right at the gate of the Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Film. Aiming to earn extra income to support himself, the artist decided to lease the space. However, due to his busy performance schedule and teaching duties, he entrusted the entire management to his favorite student, Viet Huong.

Under the management of "accountant" Viet Huong, all business activities were meticulously recorded. Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi fondly recalled his "legendary" debt ledger, which held the names of numerous famous stars today.

"Viet Huong kept a very careful record of debts; she didn't miss a single name of anyone who owed her money for food or drinks. That list included everyone: Phuoc Sang, Huu Nghia, Phuong Binh, Hoang Son, Nhat Cuong... Almost every young person in their twenties studying at the Theater School back then was on my debt ledger," the male artist humorously shared.

Interestingly, he revealed that the rare individuals who never "go into debt" are artists Thanh Loc, Hong Van, and Hong Dao. These are the rare names who have more stable finances or very straightforward personalities from a young age.

The "braised pork pot" incident on New Year's Eve and the "culprit" Thai Hoa.

The most memorable experience for Minh Nhi was a business disaster during Tet (Vietnamese New Year). Wanting to provide his colleagues with a warm and satisfying meal after performing on New Year's Eve, he invested heavily, buying 10kg of pork and 40 eggs to make a huge pot of braised pork.

However, this "get rich quick" plan unexpectedly fell apart. On the morning of the first day of Tet (Lunar New Year), after returning from a performance, the male artist eagerly called Viet Huong for a plate of braised pork with rice, only to receive silence and a furtive look from his student.

The truth later shocked him: the entire huge pot of braised pork had spoiled, turning into a white foam, rendering all his investment a complete loss. It wasn't until after the Lunar New Year holiday that Viet Huong cautiously revealed the culprit: Thai Hoa. Because he was so hungry, the actor from "Blood Moon Party" had secretly eaten some of the meat but hadn't stored it properly, causing the entire pot to go bad.

Lessons about impatience and the teacher-student relationship.

Looking back, Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi feels fortunate that Viet Huong chose the right time to reveal the truth. He admits that he was very hot-tempered when he was young, and if Thai Hoa had known about it at the time, he would surely have suffered a terrible beating.

"But it happened a few months ago, so I let it go and didn't bring it up again. It was also a valuable lesson for me about not being overly work-obsessed. After that, I learned my lesson and only cooked enough for myself, not wanting to cook too much to sell and then waste it," he confided. After many decades, the numbers in the old debt ledger have faded, but the teacher-student bond and the memories of those difficult times remain invaluable treasures that Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi and generations of artists always cherish and preserve.
