- What are you most satisfied with after doing the program?
- It's the stable acting ability of the artists. They are really talented. With a program likeKitchen God,If the artist just emphasizes the wrong rhythm of a line, the message the director wants to convey will not be effective.The Kitchen GodsLucky to have the cooperation of a team of talented and dedicated actors.

- After each recording, the program is censored, cutting out critical parts, causing Tao Quan to be criticized by the audience. How do you feel?
-Having worked in the industry for many years, I understand that censorship is necessary for products that serve the general public. My biggest difficulty is explaining to artists about cutting out scenes that they have practiced and performed with great effort.I have to consider a lot of editing to ensure it is both attractive and not waste valuable details and dialogue.This year's Gala is quite long. In addition to the versionThe Kitchen Godsbroadcast on the night of the 30th of Tet, the audience will be able to watch the full version on the internet. We hope that the audience who did not watch the recording directly can also feel the spirit of the program.
15 years of commitmentThe Kitchen GodsIt also helped me grow up and understand more about politics, economics, society, etc. The audience who loves Tao Quan always sets high standards when watching the program. I don't expect everyone to enjoy it. People in our profession must accept all compliments and criticisms. Sometimes, criticism is the motivation to help the team become stronger and more mature.

- This year, there are some artists who have been with the show since the first seasons. What do you think about the appearance of these artists?
-Participating artistsThe Kitchen Godsalways uphold responsibility and work spirit. They strive to practice, be creative, find ways to express and convey messages through dialogue. Artists Minh Hang and Minh Vuong - two returning facesTao Quan 2018After many years - staying up all night to practice even though my health has declined.I really appreciate their contributions. Without such artists,The Kitchen Godswill no longer be attractive.
Every year, we start the program early, but the pressure and intensity of work accumulates one month before the recording date. After each gala night, the audience will remember the good lines and humorous situations. I remember the scars.bruises on Xuan Bac and Cong Ly's legs from having to perform continuously for many days, remembering the teary eyes of the artists when the last performance ended.

- How much effort did you put into creating the complete program that has been broadcast on New Year's Eve for many years?
- This is a very tiring and mentally exhausting program. The creative process ofThe Kitchen Godstakes place from the script writing to the artists performing on stage.15 years of being Tao Quan means 15 years that I have no free time to go shopping for Tet. Until the 30th night, I still imagine every line and performance of the artists.
The happiest feeling was around 3am on the last filming day, when the whole crew raised their glasses to celebrate, then I was allowed to say: "I'm so tired!".
