Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh caused a storm across social media platforms after his "rap cheo" in the MV Bac Bling (Bac Ninh) by singer Hoa Minzy. All over social networking platforms, audiences shared many old comedy videos of artist Xuan Hinh.
Director of the Department of Arts and Performance Nguyen Xuan Bac expressed his encouragement for the return of artist Xuan Hinh. Before being quiet, Xuan Hinh had a time to "use" comedy, cheo and skits at Meet at the end of the year.
Artist Xuan Hinh has many comedy products collaborating with People's Artist Xuan Bac and Tu Long. Xuan Hinh with his unique singing and Cheo performance with a strong personal mark was once likened to the "king of comedy in the North". People's Artist Thanh Ngoan called Xuan Hinh the star of the Cheo stage.
The return of Xuan Hinh in the MV Bac Bling brought the rise of Cheo material. When Cheo was included in Bac Bling or Hoa Minzy's previous MV, Thi Mau - all contributed to creating million-view hits.
When Bac Bling was released, on music forums, the audience also mentioned the name of People's Artist Tu Long - also an artist born and raised in Bac Ninh who just "made waves" in the show Call Me by Fire.
Coming to Call Me by Fire, along with a series of famous singers and rappers in Vietnamese music, People's Artist Tu Long became an inspiration to bring Cheo, traditional art culture to the stage and exploded in famous performances such as Dao Lieu, Trong Com.
People's Artist Tu Long at his age (born in 1973) when coming to Call Me by Fire has become one of the most prominent faces. A series of famous young singers such as Soobin Hoang Son, Jun Pham, Bui Cong Nam, Thanh Duy, Binz... have given their words of respect and admiration to talk about People's Artist Tu Long.
In particular, the young artists affirmed that they were heavily inspired by traditional culture and Cheo by People's Artist Tu Long.
Artists Xuan Hinh and Tu Long have had a long journey with the Cheo stage. People's Artist Tu Long once said that Cheo has gradually lost its position, many Cheo plays have been completed and cannot sell tickets, and very few audiences go to see Cheo. However, Tu Long still loves Cheo like meat. He participated in Tao Quan or Call Me by Fire and has always "taken advantage" of promoting Cheo, spreading his love for Cheo to artists in other fields and the audience.
Xuan Hinh and Tu Long are active and enthusiastic on many stages but always spend their time and special love for Cheo. They pass on their energy and enthusiasm to the younger generation to hope that Cheo will keep their own stage, so that Cheo can be passed down and preserved through each generation.
Artist Thai Son said that he was greatly influenced by People's Artist Tu Long, and always considered People's Artist Tu Long as a teacher. Currently, Thai Son participates in comedy and TV series, but always maintains his love for Cheo, and also takes advantage of the opportunity to promote Cheo in movies and comedies.
Comedian Cuong Ca has his own comedy channel but also shares that he loves cheo and is greatly influenced by Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh.
