Nu Cuoi Moi stage was established by late artist Huu Loc in the early 2000s and quickly became a popular comedy performance venue in Ho Chi Minh City. This is also a place that gathers many famous artists such as Hoai Linh, late artist Chi Tai, Viet Huong, Minh Nhi... Among them, Long Dep Trai is one of the actors who has been attached to the stage for a long time.
Not only participating in performances, Long Dep Trai also supports the operation and organization of activities for Nu Cuoi Moi. He is considered a close associate of the late artist Huu Loc during the period when the stage was vibrant.
After Huu Loc passed away in 2010, Long Dep Trai and his wife Phi Nga continued to maintain the activities of Nu Cuoi Moi. However, at this time, the drama stage market began to face difficulties as many new types of entertainment developed strongly.
Long Dep Trai admitted that Hoai Linh's name has a great influence on the attraction of the stage. He said that many audiences buy tickets just to watch the male comedian perform. Therefore, when Hoai Linh reduced the frequency of collaborating due to being busy with shows and implementing personal projects, the audience of the stage also decreased significantly.
Despite many rumors about the relationship between the two artists, Long Dep Trai has repeatedly affirmed that he and Hoai Linh have no conflicts. The male actor said that each person has their own orientation and still maintains respect for each other after many years of working in the profession.
Previously, sharing with reporters, Long Dep Trai said: "Hoai Linh and I have not contacted each other for many years. Because each person has their own job, there is no common show. Especially, after the Nu Cuoi Moi stage closed, we also did not have many opportunities to reunite".
In addition to his role as a comedian, Long Dep Trai is also mentioned as a supporter of many young artists at the Nu Cuoi Moi stage. Some faces who later became famous such as Truong Giang, Lam Vy Da, Hua Minh Dat or Quach Ngoc Tuyen once performed at this stage.
In 2018, Nu Cuoi Moi officially closed after many years of operating at a loss. This information made many viewers regretful, because this was once one of the prominent comedy stages of Ho Chi Minh City, associated with the names of Hoai Linh, Chi Tai and many famous artists.
Although no longer as active as before, Long Dep Trai still occasionally appears in some television programs and stage plays. For many audiences who love Southern comedy, the male artist is still remembered as a face associated with the glorious period of the Nu Cuoi Moi stage.
Long Dep Trai is a familiar face to television and Southern stage audiences since the early 2000s. He has made his mark through many comedy skits, TV series and entertainment gameshows.
Meanwhile, Hoai Linh is one of the prominent comedians for many years, who has been active in theater, television and cinema.
In terms of cinema, Long Dep Trai is a hundred-billion star with a series of high-grossing films such as "Tai", "Lat Mat 8"...
