Neither side was willing to yield, and they fought fiercely, each hoping that their favorite animation master would be number one.
They even started courting Japan, putting Japan in a very awkward position—it didn't know whether to help or not.
If they help, doesn't that mean they don't think much of Gong's abilities at all? It means that Gong is not as good as Dao, nor as good as Tom.
But if they don't help, they don't want to surpass Tom, but it's far more painful to be inferior to Tom.
Caught in the middle, Japan simply decided to support them according to its own ideas.
Thus, a clear division emerged, with some Japanese netizens choosing to support Dao and others choosing to support Tom.
With the support of Japanese netizens, the gap between Dao's new work and Tom's new work in terms of popularity index is actually gradually narrowing.
This trend instantly surprised Western netizens, because if it continues like this, it means that Dao's ranking will surpass Tom's.
When Jenny saw this, she went on a frenzy to promote Tom's message online, but Tom stopped her.
"Why, Dad? We haven't lost yet. As long as we keep promoting, Tao can't catch up with us," Jenny asked, puzzled.
Tom responded, "No, that's meaningless. This work by Dao shows the rise of Chinese animated films, no, it's a revival."
"China was once a world leader in animated film production, and now, Dao is leading them back to the top level."
"This work is perfect in every aspect, and even I am far behind it."
“I even wonder if I could achieve this level.”
“My rational mind tells me that I don’t have that ability yet, and I can’t reach that level.”
"Perhaps I will be able to do it in ten years, but even then, I may not be able to defeat the Dao now, let alone the Dao ten years from now."
"Even if I surpass this film in terms of technique, I may not be able to surpass it in terms of its content."
"I still can't believe that the Tao is on such a higher level than me, but this work provides the answer."
"If the Tao is a great mountain, then I am a hill. The Tao can only be admired from afar and not profaned."
"I do hope that Dao can start a tutoring center, so that I can go there to catch up on my studies."
Upon hearing this, Jenny fell silent. What she feared most was not the impending defeat, but the fact that the person involved had lost their fighting spirit.
That's exactly what Tom is like now.
"Is it really true that no one can defeat Dao?" Jenny asked, somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"No."
Tom shook his head, which made Jenny's eyes light up, but Tom's next words struck her like a thunderbolt.
"Only the Dao can defeat the Dao; no one else can!"
