Discussing the factors that have contributed to the success of the program Big brother overcomes a thousand obstacles at the present time, scriptwriter Dang Thieu Ngan said that first is the consistent and unique criterion of the program: No tricks, no drama but focusing on the natural and sincere aspects of the "talented brothers" and how the production team shows this to the audience in each episode.
This difference has created a unique mark and attracted attention from viewers, as well as created a positive program in the entertainment market.
In addition, according to Ngan, investing resources in production is also one of the factors leading to success.
"I know that the investment of Vietnamese producers is larger than some entertainment shows in Korea. And a fact is in Korea, shows usually have sponsors before they start production, so the production team producers according to the sponsorship budget.
However, with Big brother overcomes a thousand obstacles, with the strong investment policy from the beginning of the producers, the mindset and actions of the team are very enthusiastic, dedicated, and determined to create a high-quality program.
This not only creates a good product but also builds trust and meets the expectations of the audience," Ngan affirmed.
Scriptwriter and Ph.D. in culture Dang Thieu Ngan also said that creative freedom, without constraints, is the factor that helps the "talented brothers" to be more natural, creating authentic and surprising moments that make the program attractive.
Additionally, according to the female Ph.D. in culture, the success of the program comes from the attraction of the 33 "talented brothers" in various fields, professions with different colors, and personalities.
"The brothers participate in the program with natural and sincere expressions of their true selves, without acting but showing their true essence.
One may be the 'obstacle' of another, may be the 'language professor', the 'darling' of 32 fathers... They not only show their true selves but also do things they have never tried before, get to know each other, see many different aspects of each other.
Truly, the success of the program, in my opinion, comes from the real talent of all the brothers. They are very talented and enthusiastic.
If I simply say 'they are talented', it really doesn't fully describe all the surprises I have seen and felt. I am touched because our artists are talented, kind, and harmonious, affectionate with those around them," Dang Thieu Ngan expressed.
Ngan believes that the success of the program is not only the result of a well-thought-out production strategy but also evidence that when investing in quality and creativity, putting full dedication into every little detail, the audience will not hesitate to accept and love what is true and valuable.
