The MV "If the whole life is not brilliant, then what?" is quite carefully invested by male singer Tung Duong in terms of image and music quality. The song is composed by Dat Max, arranged by musician Nguyen Huu Vuong, and directed by 2 directors Jayden Tran and Nguyen Truong Kien (Zodiac II).
The MV's idea is also quite special when the crew chooses 3 characters as 3 versions that can coexist in each of us, at different times of life. They are photographers, office workers and a student. 3 people with 3 different stories but have connections and meet in one common point: Everyone yearns to live true to their values.
The MV is written with meaningful lyrics repeated throughout: "What if my whole life is not brilliant? / Will you remember me that day? / Or is it because I am invisible in the crowd / Like a nameless star in the emptiness"...
The lyrics are like a message conveying to the listener that each person has their own difficulties, some are tired of food and clothing, some are trapped in their own safe zone, but no matter what the circumstances, they still dare to move forward and not give up their belief in themselves.
According to male singer Tung Duong, the MV was made with the desire to inspire everyone, let's live a meaningful life in our own way. Because sometimes what makes a life radiant is not in the aura but in the fact that we once lived our best, dared to love, dared to choose, dared to fail and dared to pursue our own dreams.
In an era where everyone is caught up in the race for success and the standards of prominence, "What if life is not brilliant?" is like a necessary moment of silence for each person to ask themselves: If I don't become the brightest star, can I still live a proud life? I think the answer lies not in whether life is brilliant or not, but in whether we once bravely lived true to ourselves" - Tung Duong said.
The MV "If the whole life is not brilliant, then what?" also shows a Tung Duong with a calm, mature attitude with a restrained way of singing, not showing off technique but leading listeners with layers of deep, lingering and sharing emotions.
The MV is how Tung Duong expresses his "radiance" when he is in the "ripe" period of his career. He also admitted that there was a period when he felt that things were not always smooth or favorable, when the male singer chose to slow down and spend more time with his family.
I still think that life will always be days of calmness and safety if we do not break through. For me personally, if I don't dare to step out of my comfort zone, sometimes that comfort zone becomes my limit. Everyone will have their own challenges, the important thing is how I will choose to move forward..." - Tung Duong said.
After releasing "If the whole life is not brilliant, then what?", Tung Duong also revealed that he will continue to release a new MV in September before doing a personal liveshow at the end of this year.
