After its release, the MV “Bac Bling” created a fever on social networking platforms and quickly climbed to the Top 1 Trending position on YouTube Vietnam. To date, “Bac Bling” has attracted more than 15.9 million views.
Xuan Hinh's appearance with singing and rapping in the MV made an extremely impressive impression on the audience.
Artist Xuan Hinh, known as the “King of Northern Comedy” or “King of Cheo Clowns,” is one of the most prominent names in the Vietnamese comedy scene, especially in the 1990s.
This was his golden age, when Xuan Hinh's Tet comedy tapes became an indispensable "spiritual food" in every Northern family during Tet holiday.
With his diverse talents, natural acting style, wit and rusticity, Xuan Hinh has captured the hearts of the audience, bringing his name to the top.
How popular was Xuan Hinh in the 1990s?
In the 1990s, when entertainment technology was not as developed as it is today, comedy tapes were one of the most popular forms of entertainment.
Xuan Hinh was the “king of tapes and discs” at that time, with a huge amount of comedy tapes sold. Every year, he released new Tet comedy products, and almost no tapes and discs of Xuan Hinh were left in stock. All of them “sold out” as soon as they were released.
Vietnamese families, especially in the North, often buy his tapes and CDs to watch during Tet, making Xuan Hinh's laughter an indispensable part of the Spring atmosphere.
Not only stopping at releasing CDs and DVDs, Xuan Hinh is also a talented and famous show producer who "wins wherever he goes."
He regularly organizes traveling shows throughout the provinces and cities, from the North to the Central region.
His shows always attract thousands of spectators, with "ant-like" scenes, with audiences filling stadiums or performance venues.
Xuan Hinh's talent lies not only in his ability to act comedy but also in his skillful combination of cheo, xam, quan ho singing and his humorous storytelling style, close to the lives of working people.
This helped him become the most sought-after artist at that time, with an incredibly high salary that few could match.
Tet comedy tape - an indelible mark
Xuan Hinh's Tet comedy tapes not only bring laughter but are also associated with the childhood memories of many generations of audiences.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, when television was not yet widely available, playing Xuan Hinh's comedy tapes and CDs during Tet became a habit.
His Tet comedy skits are often based on folk stories, blending traditional Cheo elements with modern creativity, creating a familiar yet unique atmosphere.
Some typical sketches of Xuan Hinh
Below are some of Xuan Hinh's outstanding Tet comedy skits in the 1990s and early 2000s, leaving a deep impression on the audience:
“Xuan Hinh goes to ask for a wife”: A classic skit, telling the humorous story of a guy who goes to ask for a wife but the bride’s family sets a very high dowry. Xuan Hinh’s charming acting and “cool as water” lines made the audience laugh out loud.
“Human and horse, horse and human”: Based on a short story by Nguyen Cong Hoan, this skit not only brings laughter but also tears to the audience through the touching story about the fate of a rickshaw driver and a flower girl in the old society. The combination of comedy and tragedy in this work is excellently performed by Xuan Hinh.
“Xuan Hinh goes to see a doctor”: With a humorous exaggeration of the situation of going to see a doctor, this sketch exploits everyday details but is creatively transformed, highlighting Xuan Hinh's natural charm.
“Xuan Hinh trains for beauty pageants”: A satirical work, satirizing the bad habits in society through the ironic story of training for beauty pageants. This sketch demonstrates Xuan Hinh’s ability to transform flexibly into many different characters.
“Angel descending to earth”: Xuan Hinh plays the role of an Angel sent by the Jade Emperor to earth to observe human life during Tet. The juggling with supporting characters creates humorous situations, while at the same time “exposing” human bad habits in a gentle but profound way./.
