In particular, according to some sources, Tao Quan 2025 will be assigned by Vietnam Television to VTV3 to “take charge” of the production part, not to VFC (Vietnam Television Film Production Center) as before. This is unprecedented in the history of Tao Quan production. This change is expected to bring a new breeze to a program that has become so familiar to the audience for 21 years.
Director Lai Bac Hai Dang is the son of veteran journalist and MC Lai Van Sam. The male director was born in 1979 and graduated from the Academy of Journalism and Communication. He is the person behind a series of famous television shows such as: Do Re Mi, Ring the Golden Bell, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, The Voice of Vietnam Kids, The Seventh Wish, Appointment with Youth… Recently, he was The person “in charge” of the live television program Historical Road celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People’s Army.

What makes many people curious is what role director Lai Bac Hai Dang – the only son of MC Lai Van Sam – will play in the film. Kitchen God 2025? Dan Viet contacted the male director, but because he was not authorized to speak about the program, he asked permission not to share anything.
However, according to Dan Viet’s own sources, director Lai Bac Hai Dang will not participate in Tao Quan 2025 as a director but will be the focal point for organizing production. In this role, the male director and his crew will carry out stages related to stage, sound, music, costumes, machinery, equipment… to proceed with recording, programming and broadcasting. .
Director Do Thanh Hai is still the silent “leader” of Tao Quan 2025
Also according to Dan Viet’s own sources, part The scenario of Tao Quan 2025 Still in charge of “Professor Rot” Dinh Tien Dung and director Do Thanh Hai. Director Do Thanh Hai has been attached to Year-End Meeting – Tao Quan since the show’s inception.
At that time, People’s Artist Khai Hung was the one who came up with the idea, but the person closest to the program each year was director Do Thanh Hai. For that reason, even though he is a senior leader of Vietnam Television and very busy with assigned tasks, director Do Thanh Hai is still dedicated to this “brainchild”.

Sharing with Dan Viet right from the first days of being invited to VTV to discuss the Tao Quan 2025 scenario, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung frankly expressed: “I have not yet accepted or refused to participate in Tao Quan 2025 because We still have to see what the script is like and who will direct it. If this year the script is good and director Do Thanh Hai continues to “lead” the show, we will participate. If those two conditions are not met then we will I will “evacuate at will” but not try.
This proves that, in the eyes of Tao Quan artists, director Do Thanh Hai plays a very important role. This is where they put all their trust to join hands in creating a truly unique program for the audience.
Also according to Meritorious Artist Chi Trung, Tao Quan’s script is edited, enhanced, cut… every year during the training process. However, if the original script is good, “adding salt and spices” will make the program more unique. But if the original script is not good, no matter how much you reduce it, season it, etc., it won’t make the show much better. Therefore, he himself as well as the artists participating in Tao Quan all want to have a very good script so that the artists can fully sublimate their roles.

Up to this point, information about People’s Artist Xuan Bac and People’s Artist Cong Ly participating in Tao Quan 2025 is still open. At a Tao Quan practice session, the appearance of People’s Artist Xuan Bac made many people mistakenly think he would participate in this program. However, that was the time People’s Artist Xuan Bac visited his colleagues and took commemorative photos as a former member of the crew.
It is unlikely that People’s Artist Xuan Bac will participate in Tao Quan 2025 because he has just taken on the role of Director of the Department of Performing Arts (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), so he is very busy, while Tao Quan practice sessions must take place on midnight to morning. If you follow this training schedule, it will be very difficult for People’s Artist Xuan Bac to undertake and follow the entire program.
