Xuan Nghi - a poor actor who becomes a potential comedian, regrets not having reconciled family and art

Having been falsely accused of stealing $5,000 from a foreign teacher, twice failed university, had no m.oney to make a living.

But overcoming the thorns in life, Xuan Nghi gradually matured and became a familiar face in the Vietnamese comedy village.

Xuan Nghi was born in 1990, is well known for his comedic roles in skits and sitcoms such as "Jiang Ho Cho Moi", "Rescuing Tam Thai Tu"... In addition, he participated in a number of cinema films such as: "3D Neighborhood", "Super Stupid Superstar", "Last Fall of First Love"....

Since childhood, Nghi dreamed of becoming a famous comedian like Hoai Linh.

But parents do not like the profession of "singing without species". Being banned, Nghi ran away from home to take the exam. He believes his talent will conquer the door of the University of Theater - Cinema. Who would have thought, the day of receiving the results was like a slap in the face of Nghi.

Undeterred, next year, he resolved to take the exam again. This time, the slip was more painful than the first. Depressed because the door to the beginning of life was slowly slamming in front of him, Nghi was told by a friend that the Phu Nhuan theater stage was opening a training class for actors.

Becoming a student of the Phu Nhuan Drama Theater, Xuan Nghi was guided by teachers such as artists Huu Chau, Hong Van, Minh Nhi ... wholeheartedly. They love that black, skinny, hardworking, studious student. Every time I recall, artist Minh Nhi feels: " Nghi is the one who gets yelled at the most in class. Being yelled at so badly, I see him laughing so hard, he doesn't dare to cough. The guy who looks so dumb is very funny. listen to my suggestions, correct the way of acting".

In 2014, Xuan Nghi was retained and became an actor of the theater stage Phu Nhuan. In the early days, "pregnant woman" Hong Van only showed Nghi a few simple scenes, going back and forth. Gradually, she saw that the b.oy was hard-working, did not mind anything, so she put him in dialogue roles, and then from supporting to the main role.

When he was just starting to work, Nghi's comedic acting was a bit excessive and lacked restraint. He said: "In the play "The Hour of Death", when Ms. Hong Van performed a tragic expression, I immediately inserted a piece of comedy. Thought it was delicious because the audience laughed. But Ms. Hong Van seemed very angry and grabbed the tree. The props beat me up. She hit me without pain, but after the e.nding, I kept resentful of why she hit me. In the chicken wings, Ms. Hong Van "fans" a tattered match. .

Working as a theater actor during a difficult stage life, Nghi's income was not enough to make up for it. Many times I was so confused, I called home to ask for help, only to hear my mother crying. Three jobless, poor family situation forced Nghi to do all kinds of jobs to make a living, and above all: to keep the fire of passion.

In addition to the stage sessions, he drove motorbike taxis, dubbing, carrying calves for pubs, cleaning hotel rooms... To save m.oney, Nghi crowded with 7, 8 workers in an old dilapidated attic. in the slums.

"At night, it was very h.ot, but I had to pull the blanket to cover it from head to toe for fear of being bitten by rats. It's normal to run out of m.oney, have to eat instant noodles, and drink thin porridge for a few months to hold your breath," said Xuan Nghi.

When he began to take on many roles on the stage, Xuan Nghi faced malicious rumors and was isolated from his colleagues. Whenever recalling the past, Xuan Nghi ponders about being falsely accused of stealing. At that time, artist Hong Van invited a foreign teacher to train the students. While practicing, Xuan Nghi saw a 5,000 dong bill falling on the floor, shouting happily: "Whose 5,000 is it, no one will admit it was Nghi." After the rehearsal, he was shocked because the rumor that he stole $5,000 from the teacher spread, and was scolded and slapped by artist Hong Van.

Xuan Nghi was silent and did not explain because "the more you explain, the bigger the problem". "When my dignity was hurt, I kept quiet and gradually separated myself. I was sad because Ms. Hong Van was in a hurry to judge me. Later, when she knew the truth, she loved me more. I was given a l.ot of roles but didn't. I got along well with my friends on stage. When I acted together and knew they didn't like me, it was very difficult to integrate to have good feelings. At that time, I acted with my colleagues in a warm, stressed mood," Xuan Nghi recalled. .

It was so hard, but Nghi was very diligent in applying for roles and participating in gameshows to gain experience. Therefore, before suddenly becoming a "star", Xuan Nghi has appeared in many films such as "Xom inn 3D", "Song of the sun", "Last summer of first love"... and gameshows such as "Tieu Lam". Four Pillars", "Laughing Arena"...

The role of Mr. Can Tro on that day I fell in love, broadcast in 2018 helped Xuan Nghi become famous after nearly 10 years in the profession. Playing the role of a German policeman, he portrays the character's personality through the voice of a villager in Phu Yen with a stooped appearance, a stern and scowling face. The role has only seven segments, but leaves a clear impression, even more than the main characters played by Nha Phuong, Luong The Thanh, and Nhan Phuc Vinh.

If Mr. Can Tro is simply a comedy, Cao Minh Bach of Balanha Inn helps him s.how more colors, especially the tragic comedy scenes that move the audience. Real-life experience helps him to realistically act out the scene where Bach is begging for a role, acting as a stuntman, only has a dusty lunch box with food, and has to do a l.ot of entertainment to get attention. Unlike many other actors, afraid of being framed in a successful role, Xuan Nghi wants to exploit his comedic qualities in his next projects. The actor repeatedly admitted that he was "ugly" but said he did not intend to have plastic surgery because he wanted a natural and flexible facial expression.

In 2020, Xuan Nghi won the VTV Awards' Impressive Male Actor award for his role as Cao Minh Bach in the TV series "Balanha Inn", which is not simply an award, but also a recognition. recognition for the guy's unremitting efforts over the long term.

Although now has a foothold in the entertainment industry, Xuan Nghi still carries many regrets in her career journey. He shared: "With the time spent, studying and working in the field of acting, Nghi always feels that she is on the right path, burning with passion step by step. There will certainly be times when I have not been able to do something or have not done it well, but in everything about the profession, Nghi has no regrets because of art. most is the perception of life through each role.

Perhaps, the only regret is that Nghi still has not been able to reconcile family and career because most of her time is devoted to art.

Now, the first ladder of fame has given him sweet fruit. Thanks to more expensive shows, saving some m.oney, he left the slums to buy a house on installments. The day he received the key to the apartment, he had a dream. Buying a house in Saigon was once a luxury dream for him. On that day, he just wanted three meals full of rice to be strong enough to act. For all eternity, God is not willing to help people wholeheartedly with their profession, wholeheartedly on the path they choose. Xuan Nghi understands that better than anyone...
