Phi Phung - Queen of supporting roles: Late fame, selling yogurt to feed the whole family, once reminded Tran Thanh

Phi Phung is a familiar name to television audiences for many years. Although she is not a very h.ot face, she especially impressed the audience through her humorous and jovial roles. However, behind a Phi Phung with laughter both on stage as well as in real life are ups and downs, difficult work that not everyone knows.

7 months pregnant and still acting because no one dares to take the role

Artist Phi Phung was born in 1964 in a family with a tradition of making art. Her father is the artist Phi Thon, an extremely famous comedian in Saigon before 1975. During his lifetime, he was honored by his colleagues and audience as "The masterpiece of comedy village".

Although she is a descendant of the family, she has artistic b.lood since childhood, but Phi Phung entered the profession quite late. Phi Phung also never thought that in the future, she would follow in her father's footsteps in the comedy field because from a young age, she loved to sing folk songs, cai luong, and ho Quang. However, when the fate of God pushed, Phi Phung became a name from the very field in which her father shined is comedy.

Phi Phung did not attend a formal school, but learned the profession from his father. It was not until the age of 18 that she was taken by her father to act in comedy and began with roles that, in her words, were "a little above the masses with dialogue".

When she first followed her father to perform, Phi Phung was always signed by her father, so many that she could not count because the artist Phi Thon was very fastidious. But also thanks to that fastidiousness of her father, Phi Phung "matured" every night, taking responsibility for the profession to go from a l.ittle g.irl who did not know anything to an artist known, remembered and loved by people.

Phi Phung performed with his father for a while, then artist Phi Thon was invited to the Bong Hong troupe. He brought his daughter back on duty... reminding tuong. Because of the lyrical prompting, Phi Phung was slowly brought to the stage to perform when it was not good.

The opportunity came to Phi Phung when artist Meiji organized the program "Theatrical Laughter". Theater troupes participate in comedy acts. The play "Funny comrades" by Bong Rose Troupe was awarded the first prize. Phi Phung's role as a nurse in this play is so charming that when she was 7 months pregnant, no one dared to replace her, even though her belly was already very big at that time.

People say, even though it's only a small role, Phi Phung's personality, distinction and imprint in this role is too great, so no one dares to risk it for fear of being compared!

Late fame when over 40 years old

Phi Phung used to feel guilty of being a professional, from the b.ody to the voice of the stage, not equal to anyone, but with a love for the profession, Phi Phung showed her talent through each role, each piece of grace on the field. discount.

Because she was not trained in school, every time she fell, she fell, and every time she cried, she cried. Because falling really hurts. Because of crying, her eyes swelled up and she fell asleep.

So every time she plays a tragic role, Phi Phung often stands in a corner, doesn't talk to anyone, thinks about sad things to have a psychological, she sheds tears when acting. I don't know if it's Hurt or not, but the audience also shed tears along with her.

Talent and grace in Phi Phung, no one in the profession does not know. However, she was only really known to the audience since she fell in love with the long theater stage. From Bong Hong troupe, Phi Phung about Idecaf according to the introduction of artist Trung Dan.

At Idecaf, Phi Phung and Dai Nghia are known as the "matching cards", the "tsunami couple" juggling extremely well and gracefully. The show that brought Phi Phung's name up from this stage was "Miracle" when she was substituted for the role of artist Thanh Thuy.

At that time, artist Thanh Thuy was pregnant, but she performed so well that she was born a month and a half premature. That sudden situation f.orced Phi Phung to take the stage when he only had 2 days to learn the lines. But Phi Phung was treated by the team in this role when everything from the figure to the character's personality in "Miracle" seemed to be for her.

Beloved by the audience on the long stage, Phi Phung has a charm with television. In 2006, when the TV series "Shadow with her husband" by director Xuan Phuoc was loved by the audience nationwide, the name Phi Phung was really famous. At that time, Phi Phung was over 40 years old.

Since then, Phi Phung has covered most of the TV series, sitcoms, and comedies. She was nicknamed "Queen of supporting roles" by her colleagues.

The event of losing a father, a brother with brain tuberculosis and a happy marriage in poverty

Not only being famous late, Phi Phung has faced many events and difficulties, but even when looking back on those arduous journeys, she still talks about it lightly. Phi Phung sees everything as simple and "sloppy" as her own person.

The biggest event that Phi Phung ever met was in 2004. That was also the year her father, artist Phi Thon, passed away. Her younger brother had brain tuberculosis. On the 4th day of the Lunar New Year, he had to go to the emergency room at Cho Ray hospital. During the day, Phi Phung took care of her brother at the hospital, at night when she went to perform, tears filled her eyes.

Besides, Phi Phung's life for many years was extremely difficult. She got married in 1984, her husband is an outsider with a poor family background. The wedding was in mourning, so she could not sew a long dress, but had to borrow it from a colleague in the Bong Hong troupe.

Since she was not famous, to improve her household income, Phi Phung made yogurt and brought it to the market to sell. Until she became famous, she still kept that simple and ordinary life, still willing to wear clothes, carry yaout baskets to the market to sit and sell.

Many people met her at the market, they were surprised because they did not think she was so popular. As for Phi Phung, I consider myself to be able to exercise and have m.oney to eat cake, nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of.

Life is hard to make a living, but her marriage for nearly 40 years is still full of happiness.

According to artist Phi Phung, her husband is a man of few words, easily jealous, not romantic but very attentive to his wife. When he read that there was an article about his wife, he cut it out and showed it to his wife. Every time his wife came home tired from work, he reminded the children in the house to keep quiet for her to rest or ask "what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you"...

And despite being married for nearly 40 years, the artist husband Phi Phung still keeps the habit and hobby of taking his wife to work.

Remind Tran Thanh when juniors are famous

Recently, in a program, artist Phi Phung revealed the hidden corners of young stars. According to Phi Phung, the problem of being late and disrespecting the film crew and senior artists is a common situation among young artists today.

She told about the incident: "Once when I went to film, when the whole crew was present and ready, but the main actor was still not present. But when I called, the character's mother replied, 'I'm you. it's still sleeping!'. It's a famous singer on the internet but I don't know the name."

Phi Phung herself is not afraid to give suggestions to even famous artists today. In it, Tran Thanh is the star she once told her in the early days when he started to be known more by the audience: "Thanh, Thanh, have you seen many people before, people are famous but the time is still You should do the same, don't you?"

Tran Thanh received a disappointing ending, invested in 2 films but went empty-handed at the Vietnam Film Festival, the head of the judges clearly stated the reason. Bảo Nam13:23:22 27/11/2023The film Southern Forest Land, directed by Nguyen Quang Dung, premiered from October 13 to November 25, reaching nearly 140 billion VND in revenue (according to Box Office Vietnam), but still had nothing at the Vietnam Film Festival.
