Will  you  have difficulty in transitioning  between the
                                                      two genres as they could be described as being the
                                                                               polar opposite of each other?


                                                   I  have  participated  in  the  production  of  various  popular
                                                   contemporary Vietnamese TV shows such as The Face 2019, 7 Nu
                                                   cuoi xuan season 1, Ky uc vui ve season 1 and 2, Rap Viet All Star
                                                   Concept 2021. In my opinion, in order to produce a proper show
                                                   about Tuong, it requires a lot of comprehensive research from my
                                                   side and quite the implementation time from both me and the crew.
                                                                       Hence, it will be somewhat a challenge for me.


                                                   Can you apply the knowledge and experience you have
                                                      accumulated in working for one genre to the other?

                                                   Speaking from all of my experiences working with TV shows and
                                                   liveshows, I believe that I can reconcile both genres into one show
                                                   in terms of organization, however, the content of such shows will
                                                   definitely be difficult for the crew, just like what I have mentioned
                                                   before. The reason is that since Tuong and contemporary shows
                                                   have such different audiences in categories such as demographic
                                                   and preference, I will have to come up with unique approaches so
                                                   that the show in general and an old topic like Tuong in particular can
                                                                              catch the attention of both audiences.



                                                   Is there any similarity between traditional theatre arts
                                                                               and contemporary TV shows?

                                                   The obvious answer would be no, of course. Nonetheless, if you have
                                                   enough bravery in your heart to change the variations then maybe
                                                   Tuong can become something popular among the youths, you can
                                                                       even integrate rap into it for example. (laughs)
