Whether "Happiness Street" is good or not doesn't matter. The key is that only if "Happiness Street" is good can it prove that I am absolutely right!

Through repeated explanations, emphasis, and interpretations, Lao Liu and others gradually began to truly believe that *Rules Street* was indeed a metaphorical masterpiece. All those who held different views were heretics, ignorant fools, not of their kind, and their hearts were surely different. Lao Liu's opponents shared the same idea.

A debate has begun.

Countless content creators, large, medium, and small, joined the fray, shouting their opinions; countless bystanders were drawn into the conflict, each taking a stand; and countless new-generation content creators squeezed into the fray, awkwardly proclaiming their interpretations.

These content creators, when they were paid to write commercial pieces for "Don't Touch My Dad" or "Floating Flower Palace," weren't as passionate and energetic as they are now in the debate on "Happy Street." Commercial pieces were at most a perfunctory ten or twenty minutes long, and they'd drag it out until the deadline; but when analyzing "Happy Street," they were all fighting bravely, producing high-quality content, at least forty minutes long, and some even updating daily.

And, of course, it doesn't cost Qingping Entertainment a single penny.

In response, a certain unscrupulous CEO who wished to remain anonymous said, "Orders are work; proving oneself right is life."

Those who make a name for themselves in the media industry are more or less self-centered, arrogant, and proud. These people are more intolerant of criticism than others, and therefore more fervent in their pursuit of success.

This fierce competition was later known as the first "Battle of the Gods" in the Pixiv film and television section. Almost every veteran content creator with any influence joined the fray. Many newcomers also rose to prominence in this battle. Fast-talking Lao Liu spearheaded the charge, relentlessly producing videos and comments daily, decimating even the most influential content creators.

This viral wave of interpretations quickly spread to websites like Douyin, Weibo, and Green Petal, becoming the most discussed film during the Spring Festival season. A simple refresh of the homepages of major platforms revealed interpretations and debates about "Happy Street."

To this, Shang Yechu only had one word to say:

"ah?"

Things have escalated to this point, turning into a vast ocean of public opinion warfare. Neither Qingping Entertainment, nor Shang Yechu, nor even the formidable Ye Ya, can influence the situation. All Shang Yechu can do is run promotional tours, conduct publicity campaigns, and pander to his fans.

This battle of the gods on Pixiv saved Qingping Entertainment at least tens of millions in marketing costs, leaving its competitors speechless. Qingping Entertainment's marketing prowess is well-known in the industry. But why is it that during the Spring Festival, when everyone spent money, those content creators and marketing accounts became so passionate and enthusiastic when analyzing "Happy Street," yet so listless and indifferent when handling their commercial articles, like a cold, middle-aged couple going through the motions?

In reality, Qingping Entertainment's publicity department isn't much better than its competitors. Marketing and publicity teams in the entertainment industry are generally rudimentary. Even giants like Tianding Entertainment and Meta Pictures are powerless when faced with scandals involving their own artists.

What sets Qingping Entertainment apart from others is its boss. He is exceptionally adept at understanding people's hearts and minds, and acts without any moral compass. In addition, he possesses extraordinary energy.

Perhaps this is why a lion leading sheep is better than a sheep leading a lion.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, "Happy Street" officially surpassed 250 million yuan at the box office, topping the Spring Festival box office chart!
