Although the Spring Festival film season is over, the online debate about "Happy Street" is still raging.

If netizens' enthusiasm is the fire, then Qingping Entertainment is the chef who adds fuel to the flames. They are masters of stirring up trouble and never shy away from creating chaos.

The roadshow finally subsided, and Shang Yechu finally had some time to browse various social media platforms.

Pi's homepage is full of recommendations for various metaphorical interpretations of "Happy Street". Shang Yechu randomly clicked on one, and after only a couple of glances, her eyelids started twitching uncontrollably.

Looking at the comments section again, it was indeed in an uproar. Netizens were arguing back and forth, as if this wasn't Pixiv but Liangshan Marsh.

[This is just a mindless, mindless entertainment film that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The way a bunch of people are analyzing it is like eunuchs visiting a brothel [laughing emoji]]

[Don't drag others into your own brainlessness. I think your brain really needs some serious work, to clear out the blockage caused by poop.]

Are today's young people no longer able to understand such hardcore films?

[Ye Chu herself said during the promotional tour that this film was made in honor of the commercial street photography project that had previously helped her. Can we please stop with the dumpling-vinegar nonsense? Doesn't it feel good to be slapped in the face by the person in question?]

Even if we upload Ye Chu's promotional video, these die-hard believers won't believe it.

What does the film's theme have to do with Ye Chu? The actors are just tools for the director; the director's word is law.

The director said Ye Chu was right.

[The person upstairs clearly lacks social experience; emotional intelligence is directly proportional to IQ. Even if the movie is alluding to what happened in the video, would Ye Chu have said it out loud? With capital running rampant in the entertainment industry, how will she survive?]

[That's right! Ye Chu's reaction was actually correct, which precisely proves that the online interpretations are accurate. Because the interpretations were so thorough, she became afraid, which is why she started rambling on about other things!]

I've read Ye Chu's interview for "Yun Qing Ji" before; she's quite a thoughtful person. These kinds of intelligent people know best how to protect themselves.

[Zhao Xiao, does Ye Chu herself know this?]

[It would be ridiculous if Ye Chu admitted it. Her deliberate denial shows that netizens have hit the nail on the head. She's covering for the director. The entertainment industry is far darker than you imagine. A new director and an actress with this kind of mindset—if they don't keep their talents hidden, they probably won't survive to see the light of day.]

Shang Yechu's lips were twitching like a fish that had just come ashore.

I can't watch anymore. If I keep watching, Shang Yechu will start to believe that he is an ancient sage who endured humiliation and hardship to infiltrate the entertainment industry!

Forums like Zhihu and Tieba are also hotspots for interpretation. Hongshu and Lvban are slightly better, with more discussion focusing on the plot and visuals. As for Weibo…

#It turns out Happiness Street really has become happy#

Three or four trending topics related to Shang Yechu and "Happiness Street" remained high on the list. Although we are used to trending, this kind of scene is still relatively rare.

As expected, the reporters did not disappoint Shang Yechu. As soon as the Valentine's Day roadshow ended, someone dug up the demolition documents for Xingfu Street that very night; the next day, someone contacted the residents of Xingfu Street; and the following afternoon, even the CEO of Taikang Group was exposed by the reporters!

Journalism truly is a profession that demands speed. Before Qingping Entertainment could even release its scoop, these reporters had already stumbled upon the goldmine themselves through a series of roundabout methods.

[#The prototype of Happiness Street really exists#]

It turns out the movie "Happy Street" is based on a real-life story! Recently, some netizens discovered that some scenes in the movie "Happy Street" closely resemble a commercial street near their homes. A visit to the street revealed that it has undergone a dramatic transformation...

[#YeChuHappinessStreet# Ye Chu's latest roadshow: "Happiness Street," is to thank a period of time in my life.]

[Oh my god! It turns out that the movie "Happiness Street" was made by Ye Chu specifically to save the place where she grew up [crying]]

"Happiness Street" is a love letter that Ye Chu wrote to Happiness Street [tears welling up]

[Found it! The official project plan released by Taikang Group does indeed include a demolition plan for Happiness Street. The plan was released in the second half of last year, which happens to be the time when filming for the TV series "Happiness Street" began!]

In less than half a day, news of Shang Yechu filming a movie about the street where he used to live spread across all major platforms. Some were amazed, some were moved, and some were skeptical. After all, the marketing tactics for Spring Festival films are complex and diverse, and capitalists will do anything for box office success.

What truly propelled the trending topics to a fever pitch was an interview.
