- Tao Quan 2018 is about to air, how do you expect the audience to receive this year's program?

-From the beginning, we put pressure and challenges on ourselves when making the 15th anniversary program..The script structure is changed a lot to create highlights and differences.I think this year's gala has many thoughtful messages. This is a comedy show. Creating funny situations is a prerequisite. But besides the humor and fun, the crew also sent many messages, at the same time reflecting on the society in the past year.

Scenario buildingTao Quan 2018or a difficult problem. Many hot issues are carefully considered and calculated by us to bring about optimal efficiency, both creating laughter and having deep satire and satire. At the last minute, I still changed and added a part of the script to the content.I think this year's program has many special highlights and will create different opinions from the audience.

- 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.Tao QuanLucky 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 been in the industry for many years, I understand that censorship is necessary for products that serve the general public. My biggest challenge is explaining to the artists about cutting out scenes that they have practiced and performed with great care.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 versionTao Quanbroadcast 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 commitmentTao QuanIt also helps me grow up, understand more about politics, economics, society… The audience who loves Tao Quan always sets high standards when watching the program. I don’t expect everyone to enjoy it. People in the profession like us must know how to 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 artistsTao Quanalways 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 - still staying up all night to practice even though health has declined.I appreciate their contributions. Without such artists,Tao Quanwill no longer be attractive.

Every year, we start the program early, but the pressure and intensity of work accumulates a 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 have you put into creating the perfect program to broadcast on New Year's Eve over the years?

- This is a very tiring and mentally exhausting program. The creative process ofTao Quantakes 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 at around 3am on the last filming day, when the whole crew raised their glasses to celebrate, only then was I allowed to say: "I'm so tired!".
