What 'issues' does Tao Quan 2016 touch on?

On January 29 and 30, “Tao Quan”, one of the most anticipated television shows at the end of the year, completed filming. Overall, “Tao Quan 2016” is dense with current issues, and the laughter is also more witty, profound and interesting than before.

Dirty food, multi-level marketing, corruption...

It can be said that after several years of being judged by the audience as bland, with forced laughter, and no longer having the “fighting” power... this year, “Tao Quan 2016” has returned with its inherent sharpness. Through the lens of humor, a series of prominent social issues in the past year have been mentioned by “Tao Quan” in a profound and multi-dimensional way, so that behind each laugh is a story worth thinking about for anyone.

Big Dipper and 4 Apples.

This year, the Apples are divided into 4 areas: Economic Apple, Social Apple, Spiritual Apple and Education Apple. These are considered 4 areas that cover all issues in society.

This year, in addition to touching directly on the pressing issues of the ministries, “Tao Quan” also sounded the alarm bell to raise people’s awareness of food hygiene and safety. Familiar stories such as: water spinach sprinkled with engine oil, fake wine made from water mixed with alcohol... are renewed in a satirical yet profound way.

It is worth mentioning that when the Jade Emperor questioned the Social God about the reason why dirty food is so widespread in the market, the God showed an indifferent attitude with the common refrain "my family never eats homegrown vegetables", "my family never eats home-sold beef"... This reflects the awareness of a part of the people who disregard the lives of their fellow human beings for money. At the same time, it also shows the lack of strength of the authorities towards this "national disaster". And the sad reality "the road from the stomach to the cemetery has never been so close" continued to be uttered so that finally the Jade Emperor had to affirm that dirty food is a "national disaster" and not only the ministries but also the people must join hands to push back this "national disaster".

In addition, “Tao Quan 2016” also mentioned many issues in the economic field, emphasizing the fact that domestic enterprises are stunted, weak, and small... due to having to compete with foreign enterprises and domestic “greasing” procedures. From this story, the Jade Emperor also suggested the need to “untie” and create an open corridor for enterprises to develop.

One of the most striking and incisive points of “Tao Quan 2016” is turning laughter into a sharp weapon to condemn the reality of bribery and kickbacks that are eroding morality and seriously affecting people’s trust. The juggling and counter-arguments of the Taos in response to the Jade Emperor’s doubts about bribery and kickbacks in the lower world brought refreshing laughter but also profound insights.

Jade Emperor juggling in "romantic" style

As usual, the music part of Tao Quan is always a point that many audiences look forward to and love. This year, many songs were included in Tao Quan, including well-known songs such as: "Vo nguoi ta", "Bo oi minh di dau the", "Em la hoa hong nho", "Vu dieu gong chinh", "Trach ai vo tinh"... Besides modern songs, classical music and folk melodies were also performed very gracefully by the Taos in the game part at the end of the program. And not only the Taos, but this year the Jade Emperor also sang.

It is known that the music of "Tao Quan 2016" was invested very carefully with the participation of famous musicians such as: Do Bao, Xuan Phuong, singer Le Anh Dung...

In addition to the studio recording, this year's TV viewers will be surprised to see that Tao Quan has an outdoor recording, cleverly integrated, using beautiful techniques, vividly depicting the journey of the Taos to their court.

Nam Tao plays the role of a multi-level "leader".

This year, in addition to the "immutable" trio of Jade Emperor - Nam Tao - Bac Dau (played by Meritorious Artist Quoc Khanh - Meritorious Artist Xuan Bac and Meritorious Artist Cong Ly), the roles of Tao were expanded: Tao Xa Hoi played by Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Tao Kinh Te played by Meritorious Artist Quang Thang, Tao Tinh Than played by People's Artist Tu Long and Tao Giao Duc played by actress Van Dung. Notably, this year director Do Thanh Hai has restructured the "heavenly staff" with a bucktoothed Thien played by singer Minh Quan and a handsome Thien Loi played by actor Binh Minh. This is the first time Binh Minh has appeared in "Tao Quan".

It is worth mentioning that this year, the script was written by many members, but from the Jade Emperor to Nam Tao - Bac Dau, the Taos and even Thien Loi, they were all very charming, everyone had a place to show off their talents. The most surprising thing was the Jade Emperor - Quoc Khanh. This year, the Jade Emperor not only juggled and moved around more, but also sang. The detail that the Jade Emperor unexpectedly "interpreted" the Tao Xa Hoi in a "romantic" style with a rather sentimental dialogue that made the audience laugh non-stop was also considered a different charm.

“Tao Quan 2016” also invested heavily in costumes. During the program, Education God - Van Dung alone changed 3 costumes, Nam Tao - Xuan Bac also changed costumes 3 times, the remaining Gods each had 2 costumes to refresh their image. As for “Miss Dau” Cong Ly, in addition to the two costumes designed by designer Duc Hung, she was also created with a wig and beautiful makeup. It is known that in order to complete the costumes for Bac Dau and some other Gods on time, designer Duc Hung had to mobilize human resources to work day and night for nearly a month. Of which, Bac Dau’s costume took the most time due to the sophistication and sophistication of the hand-embroidered shirt.
