From a ballet choreographer of the October troupe, he suddenly turned to singing, cinema and composing, each milestone came gently but left a deep impression.
Nguyen Phi Hung said that his opportunity to enter cinema began when he accepted an audition for the movie Hai Au by director Le Bao Trung - who was looking for an actor with dancing qualities. The intimate story of the film made him sympathize and participate with a carefree mindset.
The role brought him the "Promising Actor" award at the Golden Kite Awards 2003, opening a new path in art. Since then, he has appeared in many films such as When Will You Love Me, Remaining Love, The unified bed...
Not only acting, Nguyen Phi Hung also composes music. The debut song "Noi long xa que", written in 4 hours from the nostalgia for the homeland and sympathy for workers away from home, quickly touched the hearts of the audience. I get to hug and cry with friends when singing in those places. It is just a matter of feeling, so being accepted, I really appreciate it, he shared.
In addition, compositions with Southern folk sounds such as Thuong and Nhu Ban Tay also left a strong impression. Although not born in the West, his affection for this land of love helps him express his full spirit and emotions. The song Thuong lai thuong thuong thuong thuong was later chosen as the soundtrack for the late musician Cao Van Lau - an interesting coincidence.
Nguyen Phi Hung also has a special love for Cai Luong, often listening and admiring the rustic voices of the West, especially the works of composer Vien Chau. He believes that each ancient song contains profound human values, helping him learn more about life.
Possessing three occupations at the same time - singer, actor, choreographer, and dancer, he considers it the richness of artistic life: "Each field is an inspiring world for me to explore and connect with the audience".
