After its release, the music video "Bac Bling" created a sensation on social media platforms and quickly climbed to the top of YouTube's trending list in Vietnam. To date, "Bac Bling" has garnered over 15.9 million views.
Xuan Hinh's appearance with his singing and rapping in the music video made a huge impression on the audience.
Artist Xuan Hinh, known as the "King of Northern Comedy" or "King of Cheo Comedy," is one of the most prominent names in Vietnamese comedy, especially in the 1990s.
This was his golden age, when Xuan Hinh's Lunar New Year comedy tapes became an indispensable "spiritual food" for every family in Northern Vietnam during the Tet holiday.
With his versatile talents, natural, witty, and down-to-earth acting style, Xuan Hinh has won the hearts of audiences, propelling his name to the pinnacle of fame.
How popular was Xuan Hinh during the 1990s?
In the 1990s, when entertainment technology was not as developed as it is today, comedy DVDs were one of the most popular forms of entertainment.
Xuan Hinh was the "king of CDs and DVDs" at the time, with incredibly high sales of comedy tapes. Every year, he released new Lunar New Year comedy products, and almost none of his CDs and DVDs went unsold. They all sold out immediately upon release.
Vietnamese families, especially in the North, often buy his CDs and DVDs to watch during Tet (Lunar New Year), making Xuan Hinh's laughter an indispensable part of the spring atmosphere.
Beyond just releasing albums, Xuan Hinh is also a talented and renowned show promoter who consistently wins every gig.
He regularly organizes traveling performances throughout the provinces and cities, from the North to the Central region.
His performances always attract thousands of spectators, with crowds as dense as ants, filling stadiums and performance venues to capacity.
Xuan Hinh's talent lies not only in his comedic acting ability but also in his skillful combination of traditional Vietnamese folk singing styles such as Cheo, Xam, and Quan Ho, along with his witty storytelling that resonates with the lives of working-class people.
This made him one of the most sought-after artists at the time, with an incredibly high fee that few could match.
Tet comedy tapes - an unforgettable mark.
Xuan Hinh's Lunar New Year comedy videos not only bring laughter but are also associated with the childhood memories of many generations of viewers.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, when television was not yet widely available, playing comedy tapes of Xuan Hinh during Tet (Lunar New Year) became a common practice.
His Lunar New Year comedy sketches are often based on folk tales, blending traditional cheo (Vietnamese folk opera) elements with modern creativity, resulting in something familiar yet unique.
