Organizing a large-scale concert attracting 20,000 spectators like "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai", what difficulties and challenges did the organizers encounter, sir?
- Organizing a concert for nearly 20,000 people is definitely a challenge. It is a matter of arranging the positions optimally so that the audience can enjoy the concert the best.
Calculating the adjustments to music, lighting, and stage design was another challenge. Rehearsing the program in a disciplined manner for many days to bring 37 songs to the audience was also a challenge. Nature - the weather also wanted to challenge us...
In conclusion, the challenge that we are forced to overcome and need to do our best within our limits and strength is to properly repay the love that the audience has given to the concert, to the program "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai", to the 33 talents and the entire production team like us.
How much did it cost to invest in this concert? To prepare for a concert with about 20,000 spectators, how many staff did the crew mobilize for the concert on October 19?
- We are not comfortable sharing the cost yet, but it is certainly the most optimized number possible to bring a wonderful experience recognized by nearly 20,000 audiences at the concert.
Speaking of the staff for this concert, we are very grateful and appreciate each teammate who has put all their heart and effort into this concert.
They do not choose to stop at “working”, but they are “contributing”. If we combine all the departments, we have about more than 1,000 teammates working together for this concert.
Currently, many audiences are comparing the concert "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" with Kpop concerts. What is your perspective?
- We are very happy to be recognized by the audience and to be compared to international concerts like that.
But what we want to convey is that Vietnamese people are very good, Vietnamese people are smart and creative, not inferior to international friends. We should admit that to confidently do better and the best things.
Does the crew think that the reason the concert "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" sold well was because the reality TV show of the same name lasted for many months and featured famous artists, attracting the audience's attention?
- Every result achieved today comes from the collective before and behind the spotlight, from many factors.
And among them, there are 33 artists, 33 talents with different starting points, some are famous, some are almost no longer active, and there are even talents who are no longer active in the art field.
But they all have the same finish line, which is the same great love from the audience. That shows that the influence of a group is enough to bring the audience to the concert so quickly and no individual or small group has enough power to do that.
Many artists today do not dare to organize live shows because of the huge budget. They only do small shows or shows that are recorded and replayed on YouTube. Where did the decision to hold a concert by the "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" crew come from? Did the organizers think about the financial risk?
- It would be absurd for us to ignore the story about funding, because we are also a business enterprise.
But we are a business operating in the art industry, we have to balance both the financial story and creating the best artistic product for the audience. And the decision to organize a concert must be based on those two factors.
What are the organizers' expectations after the concert "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi?
- The organizers' biggest expectation is to meet the expectations and love that the audience has given us.
Thanks for sharing!
Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Hoang Van - media expert, CEO of Clover Media Company - said: "To hold a concert like "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" or "Anh trai say hi" is not easy. The budget for each concert can be calculated in millions of USD. However, this is also a good sign when Vietnamese shows and concerts are having investment, scale and international access".
