At the Golden Bell again, Wen Shenghao admitted in an interview that as a theater worker, he has long learned to look at awards with an optimistic and objective attitude, so no matter whether he wins the award in the end, he will maintain a normal mind. As for whether you will be there at the awards ceremony? He readily stated that he would definitely attend the red carpet as long as time permits. When asked whether he would prepare lucky things to bring good luck to himself, he laughed and said that he did not have this habit. As for whether he relied on his personal charm to bring blessings, he immediately changed his words modestly: "It's not charm, it's just a normal heart!" Showing his consistent humor.

From being an actor to drama production, Wen Shenghao has also been involved in film and television projects and investments in recent years. Even though Taiwan's film and television industry environment is difficult and investments may not always be profitable, he has not stopped. He revealed that he will continue to challenge different projects in the future. If he has the opportunity to be recognized as a producer, it will have another meaning for him. This time, he was favored by the Golden Bell judges as a reality show host. He ridiculed himself as "not doing his job properly and making mistakes". However, the actor's cross-border hosting seemed unexpected, but it actually made him face a new performance issue.

Wen Shenghao believes that there is a huge difference between reality programs and drama performances. The biggest difficulty is to find the right balance between "reality" and "performance". He analyzed that although reality programs claim to be real, they are not documentaries after all. "You say it needs to be 100% real, but it is actually impossible. It is still a performance." The participants must neither be too real nor appear unreal; they must bring out the effect of the program without leaving any traces of deliberate performance. , "You have to act, but you can't act too much." For actors who are used to shaping characters according to scripts, reality shows have no fixed lines and must respond to everything that happens on the scene in real time.

"Chef's Crash Landing on Me: Hakka Kitchen 2" brings together artists from Taiwan and South Korea, and cross-language and cultural cooperation has become a feature of the show. Talking about getting along with Super Junior leader Leeteuk, Wen Shenghao praised him as a very successful and mature performer who not only knows the goals of the program, but also knows what to do at each moment. Therefore, when the two work together, language has never been a real obstacle. Wen Shenghao said that despite the differences in language and culture, both parties know the direction of the program. Many times, without having to have a complete conversation, they can understand the other person's next step with just a look or movement. "I know what he is going to do, and he also knows what I am going to do." He also said bluntly: "I think our tacit understanding is very good." This tacit understanding that requires no words makes the two people interact naturally and makes the rhythm of the program smoother.
