Vietnamese artists are becoming busier than ever thanks to a boom in TV films, game shows and reality shows.

 Minh Hang became more famous after taking part in Dancing with the Stars 

Comedian Hoang Map said that he was taking part in several reality and game shows, a TV film project and numerous other shows.

“There are months when I take part in so many shows that I rarely see my family,” Hoang said.

Thuy Diem used to be a model, but now she just appears in TV films.

She said, “Most of my time is spent in film studios. I don’t even have enough time to spend the money I earn.”

Young artists now seem to believe that if they feature in as many films, game shows, and reality shows as possible, then they will become more and more famous.

Film and TV game show producers often invite young models, singers, and actors to join in their shows to attract more TV viewers.

These young artists want to become household names, so they accept the invitations. That’s the vicious circle both producers and young artists are running in.

Consequently, many young artists become well-known not because of their voice or their roles in a film, but due to the fact that they appear on TV so often, and audiences become familiar with their faces.

Due to their busy timetables, they are unable to put enough time into studying their characters, and may work on several different films in the same day. As a result, their work is below par and domestic viewers are losing faith in the Vietnamese film industry.

One director said, “The salaries for actors and actresses aren’t very high, so we have to accept that they will work on other film projects and TV shows at the same time. We just hope that they read the scripts before they start.”

An actor’s career should be remembered by the characters they play, which can be timeless. If artists run after illusive fame by featuring in many TV shows and film projects, they can earn a lot of money, but never the respect of audiences.
