What happened to 'entertainment tycoon' Color Man now?

Color Man - Do Van Buu Dien used to be a powerful "boss" of Vietnamese showbiz, producing many famous programs and game shows.

Color Man is the nickname of former MC Do Van Buu Dien, born in 1969, from Ben Tre. He was a veteran editor of Ho Chi Minh City Television. In addition, Color Man is also known as the "entertainment tycoon", the person behind the glory of popular TV game shows in the Southern region. Many programs produced by Color Man and Dien Quan Company such as Comedy Challenge, Voice of the Voice, Legendary Mark, Food Paradise, Dream Forever... have made waves on television.

However, in recent years, the name Dieu Quan has almost disappeared from the entertainment television program production market. Color Man has also turned to being a YouTuber and selling some products. Recently, in a livestream on his personal YouTube channel, Color Man shared that many viewers are still constantly texting to ask when Dien Quan's programs will return. That's why he went on livestream to chat and share about his current life with those who care about him.

Color Man said he has many good program ideas, but because of lack of finance, he has not been able to implement them.

"People are looking forward to the return of Dien Quan's programs because they are very entertaining, suitable for the whole family to watch, and many of the programs are very humane. They have been waiting but for the past 6 years they have not returned. I know that all of our beloved audiences hope that Color Man will soon overcome adversity and return with meaningful programs and projects. I am very touched by that," Color Man shared.

He continued: "Since I started doing entertainment programs, I have never thought about the halo. What my crew and I always think about is to renew the programs. For example, the programs Thach thuc danh hai, Hat mai uoc mo ... season 1 was good, so season 2 must be new, creative, find new stories and colors. Every time I enter a new season, I feel a lot of pressure, not caring about how to become famous or halo."

The "entertainment tycoon" born in 1969 revealed that the company is trying to find a way to resume production of the shows. Color Man said that he has many good ideas, but due to lack of finance, he has not been able to implement them. He said: "I still have many good program script ideas, including new and old programs. However, due to lack of finance, I have to "freeze" everything. For example, the production cost of the Comedy Challenge program is about 1 million dollars. Many people have also offered to support and give money for me to do it again. I am very grateful and appreciate everyone's feelings, but I cannot accept it so simply. I do not dare to accept the money but will find another way, find a sponsor to bring the program back."

Former editor of Ho Chi Minh City Television Station is now turning to food chain business.

When switching to YouTube, Color Man shared that connecting with audiences through social media channels helped him have more ideas for his work. He considers his YouTube channel as a life diary, a place to share positive stories, experiences in life, cuisine, places... with those who love him.

However, for nearly half a year, the 6X businessman has not posted a new video because he is too busy with business. He admitted that his business has encountered many difficulties, and some stores have had to temporarily close due to lack of financial resources. "I sell bread, and luckily everyone loves and supports me. But I did not prepare cash flow, did not have enough production capacity, so I stopped halfway. In the near future, I will probably only do small-scale work, making a living from day to day, not daring to do big things. Hopefully in 2025, I will return in one way or another. Not only in terms of content and programs, but also in terms of my own projects that I am nurturing," Color Man expressed.
