Vietlish Adventures - Episode 5 - Folklore of Mr Cuoi and Ms Hang Nga, feat Thanh Bui Mirror parody

With all the festivity of Spring in Sydney, team Vietlish Joseph Hieu Dinh (2009 Australian Vietnamese of the Year) and Maria Tran have been invited to take part of one of the biggest festivals in Western Sydney: 2009 Cabramatta Moon Festival.

A live vox-pop interview coverage of the event was filmed during the morning, followed by their gig as MC-hosts of the entertainment all night til the fireworks spectacular finale at Nine Network Stage (John Street).

During the festival, Vietlish launched its most recent episode: The Folklore of Mr. Cuoi & Ms. Hang Nga. Cabramatta was used as backdrop to the modernised version of this ancient folklore.

Joseph Dinh is Cuoi, a poor farmer husband who had his cries of help answered by an Asian fairy god-mother, who grants him a magical tree that has magical powers to heal and cure, thereby creating wealth.

Excited, he rushes home to his wife Hang-Nga (played by Maria Tran) and soon they were living the high life Kings and Queens with their entourage Cabra Men-In-Black.
Of course, good things dont last forever, and pretty soon they lose the tree because silly Hang-Nga dropped it into the toilet (originally the tree cannot stand dirty water). It began to uproot itself and travels to the sky.

In an attempt to hold it back, Cuoi is pulled up with it all the way to the moon.

A parody of Australian-Idol 2008 contestants smash hit Mirror Mirror was changed to Cuois Magical Tree chant. Joseph Dinh, who wrote the part hopes Thanh doesnt mind.
