Backed by 'Say Hi Brother'
After Say Hi Brother , Cong Duong participated in the horror film Ghost Bride - a Vietnam - Thailand cooperation project. Sharing with VietNamNet, Cong Duong put pressure on himself to maintain a positive image for Vietnam when working in an international environment. According to him, as long as the crew has 1 foreign member, he must be aware of this. He hopes to have more "heavy" projects in the near future to satisfy his thirst for challenges.
Cong Duong greets VietNamNet readers in Vietnamese and Thai:
Writing and speaking fluent Thai, acting in many famous films in the Land of the Golden Pagoda such as Hidden agenda , Cong Duong said that the opportunity came from curiosity when he was in high school. He came into contact with basic Thai through YouTube, not studying to expand the market because he had no intention of pursuing art. Thanks to his love for the culture of the neighboring country, the actor self-studied effectively, communicating well after 2 years. To read and write, he stuck small notes all over the house to regularly contact and remember.
Thanks to that, Cong Duong has many opportunities not only in film projects but also in activities to promote Vietnamese - Thai culture. Cong Duong humorously revealed that the motivation to study for the past 15 years partly came from his old Thai love affairs. On the set of Co dau ma , he and Jun Vu were the "bridge" connecting the crews of the two countries thanks to knowing two languages.

Currently working in the same company as Chi Pu, Cong Duong confirmed that he will soon release a MV this year. He said that Chi Pu and the team built a solid foundation for his development, and he was always insecure about his career before.
Although they don't meet often because they have their own paths, the two have kept in touch and followed each other's journeys since 2016. When they co-founded their own company, Chi Pu immediately contacted Cong Duong. The female singer realized the difficulties and injustices that her colleague had experienced, and wanted to be a support for him to develop to his true value instead of being underestimated.
Since pursuing art, Cong Duong admitted that he has always worked alone, without anyone to support him, but has "swum" on his own, looking for opportunities. "When I have a manager who is both a friend and a famous artist recognized by many people, I am more confident, developing in the music field - an opportunity that I missed, and thought would never come back," he shared.
At work, Cong Duong assessed Chi Pu as serious and professional, revealing that she constantly improved her singing skills after receiving many mixed comments.
The actor understands the expectations from fans when participating in many films instead of releasing music products after Anh trai say hi . He said that he is always serious about his singing career, but does not neglect the acting career he has built for many years.

He appreciates every job opportunity because he has experienced a period of discouragement when faced with family problems, unstable work, and wants to go abroad to become a teacher to “start over from zero”. Thanks to advice from his sister in the profession, he continues to try. After traveling to many countries, Cong Duong affirms that his homeland is always the most livable place.

After 13 years in Ho Chi Minh City, Cong Duong never thought he would go far in art, and did not even set a goal to become an artist. Although he was once “afraid” of turning 30, he realized that he is still the same as when he was young - living for the present, not setting goals for the next 5 or 10 years to avoid limiting himself.
At the age of 31, Cong Duong admitted that the older he gets, the less he trusts and is close to many people, even though he understands that good diplomatic skills will be beneficial for his work.
