Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu turned off the website's bullet comments. (Google search reading)

He knew there was no need to continue observing; the outcome was already decided.

Yuan Yuan asked Li Haoyu, "Why did you shut it down so quickly? Didn't you take the time to observe the netizens' reactions and predict how public opinion would develop?"

Li Haoyu gently shook his head. "It's unnecessary now. The public's criticism could drown Wang Yongzheng."

Yuan Yuan asked, puzzled, "There's something I don't understand about my husband. Why does he have the audacity to go on TV shows when his design skills are so poor?"

Li Haoyu said calmly, "Actually, Wang Yongzheng does have design skills. His design for Grandpa Du this time is not entirely without merit."

Yuan Yuan never expected Li Haoyu to say that.

"But how could his reform report be so terrible?"

Li Haoyu said, "Actually, his previous design experience was all in hotels and exhibitions. He lacked experience in designing residential buildings, and he didn't settle down to design, so it's not surprising that he stumbled."

Li Haoyu continued to explain, "Third-rate designers design for themselves, while first-rate designers design for others."

Yuan Yuan nodded.

But her small eyes were still filled with great confusion. Li Haoyu affectionately patted her head and continued to patiently explain.

"Let me give you another example and you'll understand. Grandpa Du has basically eaten radishes his whole life, and now he just wants Wang Yongzheng to cook him a big meal of fish and meat to satisfy his craving."

"But what Wang Yongzheng did was simply turn radishes into perfect decorative plates. They look beautiful, but they don't taste good."

Yuan Yuan nodded; the example was very apt, and she understood. ♝💙 ❻➈𝓈𝓱у乂.𝕔𝓸𝕞 💲😎

Yuan Yuan said thoughtfully, "No matter how grand or magnificent a building is, if it cannot bring warmth and strength to people, it will never be an ideal home."

"At best, it's just a fancy house, and besides, Wang Yongzheng's designs aren't even that good-looking."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "When he thinks he has better aesthetic sense, understands culture better, and knows better what architecture should look like."

"I knew his failure was predictable. No matter how eloquently he explained his design concepts, it would all be for nothing if Grandpa Du didn't like them."

"Grandpa Du's house isn't an art gallery; it doesn't need to be amazing or as beautiful as an exhibition center. All he really wants is a home where he can watch the sunrise and sunset, and live his daily life by eating meals."

Li Haoyu recalled the time when he planned this program.

His first thought was "The Ultimate Home Makeover King" because this variety show has a human touch, which is why it can touch people's hearts and remain popular for so long.

Unlike some home improvement shows that focus on bickering and emotional issues while treating renovation as a side activity, "All-Round Home Renovation King" is not a typical home improvement program.

"To create dreams and make them come true—whose dreams are we creating?"

"The client's dream..."

However, Wang Yongzheng does not seem to understand this principle.

…………

Just as Li Haoyu had predicted.

After the latest episode of "The Ultimate Home Makeover King" aired, related topics instantly became trending topics. 💙👽 69ᔕhυא.匚Ⓞм 😝😝 Many people even left comments in the live chat and on the show's social media.

Comments included, "They should refund the money," and "Doesn't the designer have a conscience?"

[Did they spend all of the elderly person's life savings of 132 million yuan on a bare-bones apartment?]

[The biggest disaster in the history of "Home Makeover King"!]

Does Wang Yongzheng have any shame at all? It's because of people like him that there's no hope for the Chinese architectural industry!

[The "Makeover Show" Criticized for "Spending Millions of Farmers to Build Unfinished Houses!"]

[What a dilapidated building! How did Wang Yongzheng even graduate?]

Several topics quickly rose to the top of Weibo's trending searches. Some netizens even came up with some incredibly creative and witty comments.

One netizen, "I'm not being sarcastic," commented, "I'm laughing so hard I can't live without it! Who says there aren't houses like this in rural northern China? I give the designer full marks for this wave of nostalgia!"

"My eyes even welled up with tears. Seeing those familiar hollowed-out brick walls and the rough cement floor with its excellent grip instantly brought me back to my childhood in the northern countryside."

"The only flaw is that the words 'male' and 'female' should be painted on the wall in front of the door, and adding a squat toilet would make it a perfect replica. I can't wait, designer, keep up the good work!"

A netizen named "I'm Just a Countryman" commented, "I'm so annoyed by these so-called 'sea turtles' (returned overseas students). Have they ever actually been to or even understood rural areas in northern China without central heating?"

"Do you know how cold it is inside a house in winter with exposed brick walls? Do you know how depressing it is to be inside a house in winter without good lighting?"

"The small villas you look down on are warm and comfortable, and the large windows you look down on let in so much light. These are all experiences that the masses have accumulated through trial and error. And that's how you're allowed to look down on them."

Ultimately, we don't need dreamers, nor do we need detached bourgeois. We, the vast majority of people, are just ordinary people who eat, drink, excrete, and sleep every day.

A netizen named "I'm also a designer" commented, "The exposed cement minimalist wabi-sabi style is indeed too cold and rigid for rural people."

"While designers do pursue aesthetics and design, these things are utterly meaningless to an old farmer."

"What they want is a stylish, even tacky, look, not so-called high-class. Ultimately, designers still need to consider things from the client's perspective."

Many angry netizens have even turned their anger towards the production team of "The Ultimate Home Makeover".

Fortunately, Li Haoyu had prepared a contingency plan in advance. He also had Yuan Yuan contact Shanghai TV station, doing them a favor by indicating that the group was willing to cover all subsequent expenses.

After all, HaoTuan.com is also located in Shanghai, and the local community needs a reliable media partner to provide occasional support or an official channel for communication. It wouldn't hurt for the TV station to owe them a favor.

On the other hand, although the production team of "The Ultimate Home Makeover" was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, they did not bear any major responsibility, and the audience would not investigate further.

The production team is willing to cover all subsequent rectification costs, and the production crew will not need to bear any compensation expenses.

Although the TV station inexplicably got into trouble, the losses were still within an acceptable range. Even negative publicity is still publicity, and the program team still gained a lot of attention.

On the other hand, the production team proactively spoke out and took responsibility, which even garnered some positive feedback. Both parties quickly reached a consensus, and a joint statement was released by the Good Team and the "All-Round Home Makeover King" production team.

Since its inception, "The Ultimate Home Makeover" has been committed to creating dream homes for every family in need. In this episode, we continue to uphold this original aspiration.

We sincerely accept everyone's corrections. The current results of the renovation still fall short of the actual needs of rural life, which is also the direction and motivation for our continued efforts.

After negotiations between the program team and the title sponsor, Haotuan.com, we are willing to cover all renovation costs in Chengde and be responsible for the subsequent reconstruction work.

Thank you again to all the netizens and viewers for your attention and support of the program. We will work even harder in the future to fulfill our original intention of helping clients realize their dreams and live up to everyone's trust and support.

The "All-Round Home Makeover King" program team

They issued a statement immediately, took decisive action, and acknowledged that the program team had failed in its oversight.

After this series of combined attacks, even the most critical online critics could no longer continue their attacks. Instead, the program team won praise from many netizens who appreciated that the show could correct its mistakes.

Well, now the production team isn't being blamed either.

The production team is completely innocent and is even willing to take responsibility. But everyone's emotions have already run high, and someone has to be criticized.

Who designed this "villa" for elderly people living alone in rural areas? What were the needs and construction process that led to the creation of this "red brick fortress"?

So who's the culprit? Isn't it still the brain-dead designer's fault! The audience is already furious watching the show, and it's quite remarkable that they've been able to endure it for so long.

They finally found their target: Wang Yongzheng, this incompetent designer. What is he anyway?

No, it's not a thing!

Nonsence!
