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

Meanwhile, in countless homes across Shanghai. 👊😂 ❻❾ᔕ𝓱𝓤x.ⓒ๏𝕄 ☹🍭

Viewers sitting in front of their TVs waited until the first episode of "Home Makeover King" finished airing before they could even get up to wipe the dishes and tables, enthusiastically discussing whether their own homes could be renovated in the same way...

At this time, the phone number for the "All-Round Home Makeover King" program quietly became extremely popular, with a constant stream of calls from people wanting to participate. Housewives who watched the program were deeply moved and spontaneously shared the program information on their WeChat Moments.

Unlike some directors who have a strong desire to perform and insist on making guest appearances in their own programs, Li Haoyu is not like some other directors.

However, he also appeared on the show in another way.

After the prototype of "All-Round Home Renovation King" was completed, Li Haoyu treated the post-production team from the TV station to a meal. After the meal, he asked the subtitle editor to add Yuan Yuan's name next to his own.

This had little impact, and Li Haoyu was one of the program's organizers at the time. Therefore, in the end credits, their names appeared next to each other in the list of co-organizers.

Li Haoyu even had an unexpected bonus: he gained the title of creative director, which was given to him in a separate line.

Nowadays, TV stations don't broadcast as many GG clips, so the whole thing was shown. Li Haoyu quickly took out his phone and took screenshots of the two names.

…………

Yuan Yuan was sitting on the sofa when her phone buzzed. She picked it up and saw a text message from Li Haoyu: "You and I are both on TV! Look at the screenshot I sent you."

After sending the text message, Li Haoyu felt that it wasn't romantic enough and had a "nouveau riche" vibe. Just as he was about to add a romantic line,

Yuan Yuan replied, "Honey, what's going on? I didn't do anything, so why is my name on the thank-you list?"

Li Haoyu sent a text message saying, "Who said you haven't done anything? Your most successful achievement isn't finding such a wonderful husband!"

Yuan Yuan was pleasantly surprised. She was wondering why Li Haoyu was acting so strangely, yet he insisted that she watch the new show, "The Ultimate Home Makeover King".

I didn't expect him to put in so much effort! In fact, we even saw their names together at the end of the film.

Yuan Yuan replied: "I love you so much, my husband, how can I thank you enough?"

"Achoo!"

Li Haoyu couldn't help but sneeze, as if interfered with by some mysterious force. "Let's talk about it when you get here. I don't like playing games. Or how about you learn your business English well, and I'll personally give you a quick check-up?"

Just as Li Haoyu was speaking in the most flippant tone, uttering flirtatious banter between lovers, Yuan Yuan received a text message on her phone: "Congratulations on successfully completing the Business English Beginner Course."

She looked at the text message and smiled foolishly.

Under the lamplight, her smile was so joyful...

…………

Li Haoyu finished chatting with Yuan Yuan.

Watching Li Haoyu send voice messages, Zhang Shiliang asked gossipily, "Second Brother, what are you talking about?"

Li Haoyu replied, "I'm with your sister-in-law. 👻♕ ➅❾𝓼ħⓤ𝕏.ᑕⓄｍ 👺♥"

Zhang Shiping asked in surprise, "Besides Lillian and Lin Ya Hui, Second Brother has another sister-in-law?"

Knowing that explaining was pointless, Li Haoyu simply gave up and said, "What's the big deal? They're not even considered concubines. I don't even have enough time to spend with my girlfriends right now; I need to manage and allocate my time more scientifically."

After listening, Zhang Shiping nodded in admiration: "Second Brother is indeed Second Brother. I am completely convinced by your skills in picking up girls. I will definitely ask you for advice on any relationship issues I have in the future."

Li Haoyu made an OK sign.

This silly child, could he really have believed what he just made up?

Just as Li Haoyu was busy writing his thesis to submit to Professor Wang, media outlets in the Shanghai area suddenly began reporting on the "All-Round Home Renovation King":

"The premiere of 'All-Round Home Makeover King' on Shanghai TV—who says a straightforward program can't be exciting?"

"A humanistic approach to home renovation, a surprisingly impressive and hardcore home makeover program."

"A family that doesn't want its grandson to come back has only luck in its possessions and has lost its entire life."

"Tune in to Shanghai TV's prime time slot to discover untold behind-the-scenes stories..."

In the internet age, we are not yet at the forefront of big data promotion. Print media, television interviews, and other print media are the main channels through which audiences access information.

Besides its impressive premiere ratings, "The Ultimate Home Makeover" garnered rave reviews from viewers. This prompted the head of Shanghai TV to write a new script.

Many media subsidiaries belonging to Shanghai TV station have started to exert their efforts. Many newspapers have featured promotional articles about the premiere of "The Ultimate Home Makeover King" on their front pages.

Episode 1 of "The Ultimate Home Makeover King"

The morning after it aired on Shanghai TV.

Shanghai's middle-aged women generally have the habit of getting up early to buy groceries.

The market was bustling with activity as usual. Several middle-aged women were anxiously queuing at the entrance, as the first batch of vegetables was the freshest. They had their baskets in hand and were waiting for the market to open early.

While the older women were waiting in line, one of them said, "The renovation of 'All-Round Home Makeover King' is really good. Even I, an old lady, am tempted by it. If it were rented out, the rent would definitely increase a lot."

The older woman next to her chimed in, "Is it that 'Makeover King'?"

The older woman who started the conversation laughed, "What's wrong? Don't you have to pick your child up from school every day, and when you get home you're so tired you don't even want to watch TV? Why are you making an exception this time?"

"There are exceptions. My son and I watched it together yesterday, and I must say, for the first time, I felt that designers weren't just people who rip people off."

"Stop kidding! Yesterday was Friday, so your son must have come over, and you just picked him up on the way. You're making such a fuss today because you're making a good meal for your son, that's why you have time to queue up with us so early in the morning."

"Haha, I watched it with my granddaughter."

This show is great. My granddaughter said she wants to spend more time with me after watching it.

"I never thought Shanghai TV would finally produce a watchable program. Before, it was just scantily clad girls jumping and dancing on stage—it was utterly boring!"

"I think this show is a bit unrealistic. Where can ordinary people find such a great designer to decorate their houses?"

"Yes, it would cost a fortune to renovate if we paid for it ourselves. But I heard that the houses featured on TV shows are all sponsored by the production team. I wonder if my house will have a chance to be featured on TV for free."

At the entrance of the farmers' market, several middle-aged women were chatting animatedly.

They chatted about gossip while discussing the new TV program.

Sitting at his desk in his dormitory, Li Haoyu learned from a phone call from Principal Zhou Xuexin that the premiere of "The All-Round Home Makeover King" had achieved a viewership rating of over 3%.

Zhou Xuexin also said on the phone: "This time, Shanghai University really made a name for itself. Shanghai TV station is very satisfied. I also urge them to pay your commission for the program. It should arrive in your account soon."

Great news! The money is almost in my account!

Li Haoyu was quite surprised, even though he had a lot of confidence in "The Ultimate Home Makeover".

However, he was still quite surprised by the high ratings of the first episode. Many university presidents shared the same surprise; initially, they were somewhat skeptical when they heard that Shanghai University was going to produce a program.

Unexpectedly, their show became an instant hit.

The show still has such a high reputation.

This result completely stunned them.
