At the beginning of 2026, I participated in the movie "Phí phông: Quỷ máu rừng thiêng", then participated in the TV series "Dưới ô cửa sáng đèn". The income from acting is not too high, but it also helps us have more "money in and out"" - People's Artist Bui Bai Binh said.

Money is infinite. Rich - poor depends on each person's definition, each person will have a different way of thinking - feeling. Personally, I believe that the quality of life lies in health, joy in the family. Money - if there is a lot, spend a lot, if there is little, spend a little. Mainly in the way we spend. No matter how much, we can live. The most important thing in this world is the health of relatives and family. I am satisfied and happy with what I have" - People's Artist Bui Bai Binh shared.
