Salaries increased 60 times, many artists changed their lives thanks to the show 'big brother'

Series of "Brothers" changed their lives

The two shows "Anh trai say hi" and "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" became television phenomena when they were broadcast at the same time, creating great attraction and attracting the attention of the majority of public opinion.

That fever caused the careers of 63 male artists to change more or less. If "Anh trai say hi" promoted and brought young talents from zero to stardom, "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" helped established artists regain their glory or affirm their strength to the public.

After "Anh trai say hi", the salaries of Duong Domic, Hurrykng, Captain, Hung Huynh, Wean Le, Rhyder, HIEUTHUHAI, Hai Dang Doo... skyrocketed.

In particular, Duong Domic's salary increased dramatically, 30 - 60 times higher than before, from class D to equivalent to class A.

The amount of money parties have to pay to invite rapper Wean Le has increased by 50% and shows no signs of stopping.

HIEUTHUHAI's salary was already high after "2 days 1 night", thanks to the championship of "Anh trai say hi" which increased "skyrocketingly", putting him in the top 5 stars with the highest salaries at present.

Similarly, rapper Rhyder once made an impression on "Rap Viet" but it wasn't until he won the runner-up position on "Anh trai say hi" that his salary skyrocketed to the equivalent of class A.

Show organizers and agencies said that JSOL used to have almost no invitations, but now has many shows and his salary has increased even though he is not a prominent face in the competition.

Similarly, Hai Dang Doo has been working hard in showbiz for many years, participating in many competitions but his career is still obscure. Thanks to "Anh trai say hi", his name has risen and he has received attractive contracts.

Quang Hung MasterD also enjoyed the "sweet fruit" he deserved. Over the years, he composed many hit songs, had a small number of Thai fans but struggled to operate in the domestic market, only now having a worthy position.

Isaac is already in high demand, and after the competition, the number of invitations to perform, attend events, advertise, be an ambassador... has increased. Sources revealed that the male singer is fully booked until January 2025, and the last 2 months of this year alone are almost not enough time to rest.

Pham Anh Duy is a rare case of joining the program with nothing, being "cold-shouldered" from the beginning and then leaving early. Thanks to his beautiful voice and attractive style, his performance videos spread naturally, thereby attracting a certain number of fans and is on the way to developing a favorable career.

Meanwhile, the career of the artists of "Brother Overcoming Thousands of Thorns" also changed somewhat. Soobin and Bui Cong Nam improved the most.

Soobin is currently affirming his solid A-list position from salary to brand value in the market.

Bui Cong Nam was commissioned to write music, especially Tet music, with sky-high numbers. He also received many invitations to perform, and sometimes only slept for 3 hours a day.

The salaries of Cuong Seven, Kay Tran, Jun Pham, Tang Phuc, Thanh Duy, ST Son Thach... increased quite well after the competition. Neko Le received a series of invitations to perform as a rapper, and had to fly to perform in all 3 regions from North to South.

Fanmeeting events are all impressively sold out. Neko Le's fanmeeting tickets were sold out in just 1 minute even though the highest price was 3 million VND.

Soobin's fanmeeting "sold out" 1,000 tickets in 35 seconds, the highest ticket class was up to 6.5 million VND; while ST Son Thach caused the ticket sales website to crash because there were nearly 20,000 simultaneous visits.

Many artists of the previous generation who were unfamiliar with contemporary idol culture such as Dinh Tien Dat, Hoang Hiep, Ha Le, Pham Khanh Hung, MC Thanh Trung... established fanclubs for the first time, created broadcast channels and organized fan meetings.

The heat will cool, "long distance knows good horse"

The heat and fierce competition from the two hottest reality TV shows of 2024 is the perfect launching pad for male artists to develop and advance in their careers.

However, not everyone makes reasonable and effective use of post-show effects.

Recently, a series of "brothers" have caused controversy. Singer Duong Domic was criticized by the audience for singing like he was drunk, constantly skipping lyrics, covering up by shouting, and stirring up the stage at a brand show in early November.

Neko Le was also complained by fans because of a series of stages with unclear lyrics, weak rap, and superficial, disjointed choreography.

Singers Do Phu Qui and Ali Hoang Duong caused controversy with their new product. MV "Don't say it"..."Ali Hoang Duong's music is not highly appreciated and is also criticized for abusing vulgar and erotic images.

New song "Pickleball" Do Phu Qui's was labeled a musical disaster due to disregarding trends with bland melodies and cheap lyrics.

The buzz from hot shows easily makes artists get caught up, making it hard to avoid the mentality of rushing to release products.

However, an unreasonable strategy can cause them to not only fail to take advantage of the heat but also lose points in the eyes of fans and audiences, thereby losing momentum in their career advancement.

Judging from previous TV shows that have become phenomena, the heat only lasts a few months and can create a "virtual" effect.

The popularity of the two shows "Anh trai say hi" and "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" lasted longer than the phenomena "Giong hat Viet", "Giong hat Viet nhi", "Rap Viet", "Ca si mat ma", "Running man"... thanks to the continuous organization of live shows from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi.

However, the show's "heat" will soon "cool down". Artists need to prepare themselves mentally to face the situation of poor ticket sales, deserted fan clubs, or even cessation of activities... after 6 months - 1 year.

Up to now, many broadcast channels of the "big brothers" have started to cool down, the amount of interaction is only about half of the time the competition is broadcasting.

Artists like Jun Pham, Truong The Vinh, Anh Tu... took advantage of the post-2 contest effect and did not fall into illusions because they had experienced similar glory.

According to the reporter's source, Anh Tu is in high demand thanks to maintaining the same salary as when he became the champion of "Masked Singer" season 2; Jun Pham - once a phenomenon of "Running Man" - is constantly invited to perform, his salary is increasing, and is on a good development path.

A hot reality TV show can be a dream opportunity for any artist, but to maintain their name and popularity, they must have real talent, a reasonable strategy, and good products, thereby going the long way and lastingly in the profession.
