Efforts to innovate, create powerful highlights
Tao Quan 2025 will no longer have the usual reporting scenes of the Tao cast. Heaven is facing many changes when the Jade Emperor (NSND Quoc Khanh) announced that he will re-plan the "apple garden", merge Tao and streamline the personnel system.
This information made the veteran Tao group with many years of experience working at Thien Dinh fall into worry and confusion.
From here, many tragicomedies happened, when the Traffic God (Chi Trung), Economic God (Quang Thang), Social God (Tu Long), and Health God (Van Dung) all wanted to "keep their seats", keep their positions, they came up with plans to avoid having to... "retire" after the streamlining.
The highlight of the script is the competition "Road to the top of Olym Thien Cung" (Road to the top of Thien Cung) to select young talents for Thien Dinh after the merger and streamlining process.
Tao Quan has repeatedly used the “format” (script) of game shows to stage competitions in Heaven. For example, Tao Quan has created excitement with the contests Hoa Tao (based on the beauty pageant script), Tao Idol (based on the Vietnam Idol script), Who is the assistant (based on the Who is a millionaire script), Corruption wheel (The magical hat)...
If in previous competitions at Heaven, the Taos participated as contestants, showing off their talents and achievements, in this year's "Road to the Peak of Heaven" competition, the Taos took on the role of judges, marking the test to find talented people according to the Jade Emperor's request.
The “tricks” in asking questions and grading exams were displayed in “many forms” to bring laughter to the audience on New Year’s Eve. The “seat-keeping” scene, reenacting the fierce competition for seats that used to take place every year, was also staged with many hidden meanings and messages.
The script of Tao Quan 2025 directly reflects the story of merging and streamlining the apparatus at Thien Dinh with many challenges.
Lasting more than 3 hours on air, to avoid spreading out, Tao Quan 2025 divides the content according to the stage's chapter style. The script is refined to have highlights, stories about fluctuations and changes in various fields, while at the same time, still "catching the trend" of popular trends throughout 2024 in the lower world.
Catch the trend
The dialogues of the Thien Loi and Tao casts tried to "catch the trend", reminding of a series of hot trends in recent times, including the trends: Hong Hai Nhi - Nguu Ma Vuong, the hobby of playing Baby Three (Baby Three, Little Three) among young people, widely spread sayings like "what have you done, what have you touched"...
Hot topics with a strong sense of community are also recreated through humorous situations. The Thien Loi group tells each other stories about “going for the top”, buying gold, and earning extra money by “watching and catching” traffic violators.
The whole Heaven is excited about the victory of the football team in the ASEAN Cup... A character named Xuan Son suddenly appears in Heaven with a special role... The details in Tao Quan are selected to build "chapters and episodes", each part has a message, each character has their own role.
With the veteran Tao cast, everyone has a story to tell. The Traffic Tao explains the increase in fines for violations of traffic safety and order. The Health Tao complains that the bidding law for medical equipment procurement packages is complicated, many people are afraid, causing a serious shortage of medical equipment in the health sector last year. Meanwhile, the Economic Tao has not been able to stabilize the gold market...
Besides the weighty highlights and the "trendy" scenes that create interesting laughter, Tao Quan 2025 also has limitations. For example, Do Duy Nam's role as Bac Dau merging with Nam Tao needs more acting space. This character is quite obscure despite being a symbol of Thien Dinh and the changes that Thien Dinh is making with streamlining.
The contrast in acting and juggling ability between the veteran Tao cast and the new "characters" clearly shows the gap.
If Chi Trung, Tu Long, Van Dung, Quang Thang showed their experienced acting, good dialogue, and "exciting" coordination... on the contrary, new artists such as Thanh Huong, Thai Son, Anh Tho, even Trung Ruoi, Do Duy Nam all had little acting space and their roles were still vague in Tao Quan 2025.
