Title: The Amazing Race Vietnam
Post by: topaz on March 01, 2012, 10:30:56 PM
this is a no joke, guys.  I'd saw this today on wikipedia today and according to that website there'll be a Vietnamese version of TAR!  And this is the latest TAR franchise after Norway and Philippines.  So here's a news link about it but it's written in Vietnamese and if someone could translate it: http://ngoisao.net/tin-tuc/showbiz-viet/2012/03/dustin-nguyen-lam-mc-cuoc-dua-ky-thu-192358/

p.s.
on that case, will there be no more new season of TAR Asia in the future? :ascared

Here's how Google translates that news story.

Dustin Nguyen as MC 'interesting race States'
The actor first assumed the role as both mentor and directed television programs 'The Amazing Race' version of Vietnam.


The Amazing Race is a reality TV show is born in America. The program consists of several teams, each team has two people together through the implementation stage in many different locations around the world. The teams had to travel by various means such as aircraft, helicopters, buses, trucks, bicycles, trains, boats or on foot ... to collect the instructions and place next to each stage. This journey lasted continuously for 25 to 30 days. Best team in the final stages of the award-winning program.

Shortly after its inception, The Amazing Race has attracted audience quickly through the scene is done entirely in external action and characterized.

Actor Dustin Nguyen served as MC and director during the first organized program 'exciting race' in Vietnam.

To date the program was broadcast to the 20th season and still be considered "food" appealing to TV viewers. The program was authorized producers around the world from Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East to Latin America.

The Amazing Race 8 times Primetime Emmy Award award in the category TV program brings the reality competition. Emmy Award is the first important award in the broadcast industry, which is comparable to the Oscars in film or music Grammy.

During the first organization in Vietnam, Vietnam The Amazing Race is the name of the race interesting. Specifically, the program for 10 teams, each team of two people will have the opportunity to experience something new, exciting journey through the challenging locations to highlight the cultural, natural and people throughout the regions of Vietnam. The teams competed together for 30 consecutive days and types slowly each team in the implementation stage. Team on target early in the final leg to win.

Producer, director and actor Dustin Nguyen served as host and race director for the exciting first season. He will accompany the students and waiting for the rest of the team at each stage.

Share it on his new role, the actor said to mai: "Format of the interesting race requires States to shoot in the great context of the production workload complexity. Production process This program is quite close to making a movie. The program also offers air action should be as close and fascinated me. By long I was a fan of The Amazing Race. This assigned concurrently as a director who led a race Vietnamese version is really challenging but also very interesting to me. "

Teams of The Amazing Race includes 2 people. They could be brothers, spouse, lover, father or friends, colleagues ...

The program began selecting candidates to choose from between March 10 official teams. Teams can play the lover, spouse, father, friends, colleagues ... They will not know the location as well as what challenges await you in each race. However, with quick judgment and skillful handling of the situation, strength, endurance to withstand the pressures of time and climate change ... the team will decide its position. The prize for the best team in the last stage is 300 million.

The first episode of The Amazing Race - The race interesting Vietnamese version aired 13 episodes on consecutive days 20h VTV3 on Friday every week starting 18/5 and is expected to end on 10/8.


Obviously the translation could be better. This story sounds like it's already been filmed. I wonder if this is the version that was filming in the Philippines after Pekin Express wrapped up. There were reports of another version being filmed there.

As for TAR Asia being affected, I doubt it. TAR Asia is on AXN and this is on VTV. Different networks, so probably one doesn't affect the other too much.

Robert Voets/CBS
Vietnam, The Philippines are the next two territories to produce local language versions of the show.

SYDNEY - Bertram Van Munster and Disney are taking The Amazing Race into new territories, with Disney Media Distribution announcing deals for localized versions of the reality franchise in the burgeoning South East Asian markets of Vietnam and The Philippines.
our editor recommends
TNT Orders Reality Series From 'The Amazing Race' Team
'The Amazing Race': CBS Orders 20th Cycle

The new shows follow the success of localized versions of the Emmy award winning reality series in Australia in 2011 and China in 2010 and 2011.

In Vietnam, BHD and VTV3 will produce and shoot 13 episodes of Đường Đua Kỳ Thú, the local name for The Amazing Race. Actor Dustin Nguyen, of the original 21 Jump Street, will host the show and is the series producer and director. The series will premiere in Vietnam on May 18.

In the Philippines, TV5 has signed on for a Tagalog version of The Amazing Race, which will see 11 teams of two set off across the 7,107 islands that make up the Philippine archipelago. The call for auditions went out on March 5.

“Southeast Asia is an exciting and growing market for us, and we are thrilled to be working with BHD and TV5 as we continue to expand our business and presence in the region,” said Amit Malhotra, vice president, program distribution, Disney Media Distribution (Asia Pacific).  “We are also extremely pleased with the performance and success of The Amazing Race in Australia and China and look forward to continuing to bring the excitement of the original series to audiences across Asia Pacific.”     

“I am particularly delighted that we have announced production of The Amazing Race in Vietnam and the Philippines,” said van Munster, who is co-creator and executive producer of The Amazing Race and president and CEO of Worldrace Productions.  “It is an honor to see the concept and production of The Amazing Race becoming a worldwide phenomenon and with the passion and expertise of the Disney Media Distribution team in Asia, I can imagine that this is only the beginning”.

The Seven Network in Australia will air season 2 of The Amazing Race Australia, which averaged 1.26 million viewers for series 1, later this year, while The Amazing Race: China Rush, was commissioned in China by International Channel Shanghai (ICS) for two seasons.

Dustin Nguyen should also host the Asian version of TAR and replace Allan Wu for the fifth season.  I do believe he's better than him and besides, he can speak English very well and he'd made a great role on the original TV series, 21 Jump Street in the late 80's. :tup:
