Quan Anh is not a very familiar face in television dramas, but he has also participated in many comedy shows and game shows broadcast on VTV such as Kitchen Gods, Thank God You're Here, Laughing Gala...

The year-end meeting program - Kitchen Gods 2024 promises to continue to be an attractive spiritual dish for TV audiences during the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin. With many significant innovations in both form and content as well as the participating artists, Tao Quan 2024 still retains its characteristic of looking at outstanding issues of the year through a humorous lens, bringing brings laughter and things worth thinking about for viewers.

After 20 years of airing, the Kitchen Gods 2024 program debuted to the audience with many innovations, the Kitchen Gods scenario is no longer the motif of Kitchen Gods reporting to the Jade Emperor on the court, but is replaced by the Jade Emperor's journey. (National Day) to the lower world.

Along with the change in the way of approaching problems, the creative team of Tao Quan 2024 has also boldly used many 'new' artists, each with their own strengths to suit each role. I undertake as well as in accordance with the overall script of the program. Among them, "Social Apple" - the role that People's Artist Tu Long was also very successful in the past will be played by artist Quan Anh.

Quan Anh was born in Phu Khe carpentry village, Bac Ninh. His parents both worked in the military, but Quan Anh had artistic qualities from a young age. Following his family to Saigon to start a business, young Quan Anh first fell in love with the 7th grade art when he was in 8th grade, when he was invited to participate in a promotional clip. Later, the teacher in charge at Quan Anh's school often created skits for him to perform. He was also the one who taught him every little bit about acting and he was also the one who advised him to follow the artistic path.

Wrapping a melon in a towel, he went from Saigon to Hanoi to take the Theater and Cinema exam and then luckily passed, his dream of becoming an actor with Quan Anh was wide open. After graduating from school, he was accepted into the Youth Theater, part of the B.ody Theater troupe of People's Artist Lan Huong.

At that time, physical theater was very new and still had many difficulties. Quan Anh himself pondered many times about his career, but in the end, he knew physical theater was not for him and that if he stayed, he would not be successful. Okay. He decided to leave.

"At that time, I was very confused, studying to be an actor, being a king and queen, suddenly working as a worker. But you know how artists are, dreaming about their career but in the end they had to decide to quit their job to wearing a protective helmet, delivering steel for a construction project in Bac Ninh."

He must always f.ight in the mindset that he is a worker, not an artist to do his job well. Every day, he picks up steel at a factory and then delivers it to the construction site. Although the work is not heavy, he spends a lot of time on the road. Sometimes I miss my job terribly but I have to suppress it.

However, as if by fate, even though he was working at a job unrelated to art, someone still came to Quan Anh to invite him to act in a movie. Like 'a fish taking to water', Quan Anh nodded and returned to his art. He considers his time as a worker as a memorable experience in his life.

"When I decided to return to art, I knew that I could not escape my fate and would stick with it for the rest of my life. I was lucky to be able to return to the Youth Theater and join the troupe. 2 for 10 years now," artist Quan Anh shared.

Artist Quan Anh said, now his salary as an actor is quite enough to be able to 'live well', but thinking back to his student days, the first time he received remuneration from acting, Quan Anh cannot forget. As soon as I entered the school, I was staying in the dormitory when I was invited by a unit to go filming. He and his roommate were so happy that they rented a motorbike taxi from the School of Theater and Cinema to Phuc Xa (Hanoi) to act.

"We received 50,000 VND for carrying a deadly heavy air conditioner and being beaten by people. The two of us got 100,000 VND in total, minus the motorbike taxi fare of 30,000 VND, the remaining 70,000 VND. in the bag. It was so fun, the two of them decided to walk ten kilometers back to school, stopping by this store and looking at this and that store. Then, when tired, they rested at the park. When they got home, they didn't spend a single penny. Forever. At night, we went out to eat because we were so happy that we forgot to be hungry. A meal of 3,000 VND at that time was delicious, a luxurious meal would cost 10,000 VND, but we only ate normally. 70,000 VND at that time could be spent on a lot of things. ", artist Quan Anh recalled.

Quan Anh said, his brother-in-law now got married because of the movie "The Betel Tree". In this film, he and Dieu Linh - an actress from Hanoi Drama Theater play a couple in love but the war caused the couple to separate. While filming, he was very good at taking photos, so he often brought a camera to take pictures for his co-star Dieu Linh. After taking a good photo, send it to your co-star via Facebook. Gradually, the times we talked back and forth on Facebook made the two's feelings become more and more attached. After 1 year of dating, Quan Anh - Dieu Linh came back to "contribute rice together" and now, this artist couple has a very beautiful daughter.

In 2016, when he first participated in the Tao Quan program, Quan Anh said, he did not think about becoming famous, but above all, he learned a lot from his seniors.

Returning to Tao Quan 2024 as Social Tao, the audience hopes he will continue the success of People's Artist Tu Long, leaving a mark in the hearts of the audience.
