"None of these two built a normal house, but—"

“This house is so beautiful!”

In the bulletin boards and forums, after seeing the Tang-style buildings created by Xu Shang and comparing them with the abstract art of Master Tao, those who had changed sides and those who "began to recognize" Master Tao suddenly "felt as if they had heard heavenly music" and regained their normal aesthetic taste.

Posts appeared one after another, and the format was surprisingly uniform.

"I am an idiot. I take back my opinion that Master Tao's architecture is beautiful."

"I'm an idiot. I actually believed the nonsense told by those experts."

"I'm a fool..."

"I can now confirm that the man surnamed Tao is the actor hired by Xu Shang! I actually believed him. That house is the most modern and cutting-edge architectural art. Now I realize that I am really an idiot, a big idiot... This play directed by Xu Shang is too outrageous!"

"I'm so stupid, really. I knew that Xu would do anything to become famous and would hire actors. I didn't know there would be actors from the United States. I turned on the computer early in the morning, listened to the experts' introduction, and believed their serious nonsense. I posted on the forum, took sides, and supported their nonsense... I'm so stupid, really."

The crew of "Dream Builder" was looking at the explosive comments in the forum and couldn't help but say to Director Kong: "Director, our show has become very popular. It will definitely be a hit this time!"

“I saw it!”

Director Kong wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt nervous.

The show was definitely a hit, not to mention how popular it was, but at least it was the best result he could achieve. However, at this time, he was particularly nervous.

Because although the program is highly discussed, the topic is too controversial and may cause public opinion accidents if not careful.

Moreover, the evaluation and competition segment that will be broadcast next will definitely be even more controversial!

On TV, the program came to its finale. The production team invited ten people to give scores to the houses built by Xu Shang and Tao Ji.

These ten people, consisting of Grandma Sang herself, villagers, and professional architects, will give the highest and lowest scores, and ultimately determine the winner by comparing the scores of both parties.

The winner will also receive a prize provided by the sponsor. What the prize is is actually secondary. After all, both parties in the competition obviously don’t care much about the so-called prize.

The first people to give points are professional architects, after all, they can also comment on the buildings.

"Xu Shang's architecture was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect there could be such a master among the people. I decided to give him 9 points! As for Master Tao, his style is so subversive that it broke my inherent perception of architecture. No matter what others think, I must give him full marks, 10 out of 10!"

The audience looked at the comparison between the two buildings on TV and then looked at the professional architect.

This architect must be blind!

Of course, it seems that this architect is not the only one who is blind. Others can also give the result that Master Tao has a higher score, or Xu Shang's score is higher, but not much different...

Only one villager from Tianya Village gave the most special score.

"Master Tao? What did he build? I give it a thumbs up! Zero points! As for the house built by Brother Xiao Xu, it's full marks! It has to be full marks! Master Tao is nothing in front of Brother Xiao Xu—"

The program team muted the sound at the right moment, switched the camera, and finally announced the results of the competition.

"After the judges' scoring, we removed the highest and lowest scores and came up with the final scores of the two architects. The final average score of Architect Xu Shang was 8.72 points, and the final average score of Architect Tao Ji was 8.47 points! Let us congratulate Xu Shang!"

The audience felt very confused. Could the difference between these two buildings be just 0.25 points?

This show is too outrageous!

Director Kong was sweating at this moment.

God knows that his original plan was actually to let Tao Ji win in the end.

As for controlling the outcome of the game?

That's actually just routine operation.

Director Kong can even easily control the desired results while ensuring fairness and openness throughout the process.

Because statistics is an art.

If you interview passengers on a bus, you can be sure that they all have bought tickets to go home; if you interview the elderly in government offices, you can be sure that they all have pensions. On this basis, it is not a big deal to come up with statistics about welcoming oil price increases, welcoming housing price increases, and welcoming price increases, let alone a small competition.

Director Kong initially thought that Xu Shang was a half-baked person, so there was no way he could beat Tao Ji, not to mention that the Architects Association was an important sponsor of the program.

What's more, such a result does not conform to the public's perception. The master architect who returned from studying abroad was defeated by an amateur high school student. This does sound very exciting and attractive.

However, the act of breaking cognition can certainly bring popularity, but it often brings more trouble.

For example, right now, public opinion on the Internet has completely exploded.

"I said, this show is just a show! A show that was prepared long ago to make Xu Shang famous. The production team didn't care about their reputation in order to make Xu Shang famous. They can even design such an outrageous plot?"

"Go upstairs! I think the production team and Xu Shang really treat me like a fool. I don't object to your desire to be famous and to attract attention. But you should at least respect my intelligence! Good fellow, you don't even want to keep a fig leaf!"

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
