At this week’s Memory Journey, the actor Puka talked about her career. She said:
“I was born in a well-to-do family, so my parents pampered me. When I went to Saigon to study, my father opened a mobile phone shop to sell.
However, when I was studying, my family had an accident and the economy struggled. I have no home in Saigon, no money, and have to stay with friends for a few days each.
After that, I moved in with a sister in the same class with the cost of accommodation, electricity and water is 1 million a month. However, I also did not have money to pay, having to owe month after month.
Her house is very small and crowded, so everyone has to lie close to each other. My parents don’t have money for me either.
On the day I took the entrance exam to the School of Theater and Film, I decided not to take the exam because I didn’t want to do anything because I didn’t have money. When she saw that, she yelled at me so loudly that 10 people in the house were startled to wake up. It was the first time I saw her raise her voice to me like that.
I was so scared, I had to quickly change my clothes to run to the exam hall. I was the last person to get a ticket. The teacher told me, I was lucky to be there in time because there were only 5 minutes left before the school closed.
I see that everything that comes to me is fate, there is a push for me to come to the profession. If she hadn’t yelled at me that day, I wouldn’t have taken the exam and wouldn’t have the Puka of today.”
Puka confided more about the first coins I earned: “After passing the exam, I went to the School of Theater and Film to study but still had no money, lacked house money continuously. At that sister’s house, I saw that she raised me like a child, didn’t take any money, so I needed to be responsible. with that house.
I have to do housework to change the rent. I don’t mind anything, doing everything from cleaning to cooking.
That’s right, from childhood to adulthood I was the pet in the house, so my mother didn’t teach me to cook at all, I didn’t know what to cook. I had to ask that sister to teach me how to cook, then start cooking, and take her two children to school. I had to do something to give it back to people because they raised me like a child.
Until she reduced me to 500 thousand a month, including meals at electricity and water, I was too shy, did not dare to eat at home. Every time it was time for dinner, I pretended to have an excuse to go out.
I buy a loaf of bread for 6 thousand or a bowl of noodles for ten thousand to eat. Fortunately, I studied at the School of Theater without spending money because I received a scholarship from the school, so I used that money to pay back the tuition, leaving a few hundred thousand to spend.
At the end of the first year, I was able to return to the Young World stage to perform. This is like a light to my life. I finished acting for the first time, received the first salary of 150 thousand in my hand and felt happy.
A week, I performed 2 shows and got 300 thousand to have enough money to spend. I’m very happy even though I’m just playing the role of the crowd. I’m glad I have work to do.
Since then, I have received many more roles, even if it was only a small role, but I still feel extremely proud of myself.”
MC Quyen Linh heard that and said: “Puka’s salary like that is higher than mine. I can go to the show with 200 thousand per night but keep keeping the salary level of 200 thousand for a long time, can’t go up. With that 200,000, I can spend it in 1 week. I pay for the house, water, and electricity.
