@Chlorophyll: [Mianmian in "Tianji Tower" is just an extra. The neighbors saw her wearing gold and silver and thought she was a big star, even though the fabric of her clothes wasn't as good as Xie Bazi's. It's just that my darling's acting made her look very elegant. [crying] Ye Chu, what were you thinking at that moment? When the neighbors praised your extra role as a big star, what were you thinking? Were you thinking, "I've let everyone down," or "I will definitely become a big star"?]
@Shangfengdongyechu: [Who said this is a poor street... This street is clearly very wealthy, like a fairytale town.]
@What's Wrong with Ye Mianfei: [No one in this world will remember what shops are on a commercial street, except for one person named Ye Chu.]
@HowDoYouKnowMyOriginalCelebrityHasFiveExplosionsInThreeYears: [I laugh just thinking about those idiots, Climbing Mountain and Soup Powder, saying Ye Chu is royalty. Have you ever seen a royal family member doing over two hundred minor roles and sweeping the streets for a roast duck restaurant? They think Ye Chu is a useless Celestial Dragon just because their own idol is one. Luckily, "Little Happiness" did well at the box office, giving those two pigs a good slap in the face.]
@Ye Luochen: [Waaaaaah, I think I've got a disease. Now, whenever I open a video editing app and see Ye Chu's face, I feel like crying...]
@DesperateAbandonedWomanReborn: [I told you long ago that Ji Juntao is a deadbeat. The old neighbors went to beg her, but it was no use. If it weren't for Lao Ye coming back and asking a few more questions, this matter would have been over. @YeChuLeaves, you're the epitome of bad company and unlucky friends. You managed to save the commercial street this time, but what will Ji Juntao do next time behind your back? If you don't stand up for yourself, others will only be able to outwardly comply with you while inwardly defying you, like Ji the Skinflint!]
@GreenGrapeCakeWithoutMelon: [Xiaoxiao's departure was so unfortunate. She announced her retirement from the fandom yesterday, and this interview came out today. I can't imagine how heartbroken she would be to see it.]
@HappinessStreet's name won't change unless box office surpasses 1.5 billion: [Xiaoxiao hasn't quit the fandom; she's preparing for the college entrance exam. She said she'll come back and amaze everyone after the exam.]
@YeYaTangMaiYaChang: [So LaoYe has never supported our efforts to boost sales because she herself came from the bottom and knows how hard it is to make money... How can she be so kind? This stubborn mummie, all she does is act, she doesn't say anything. She's done so much and considered so much for others, yet she acts like she'd suffocate if she said a single marketing word...]
The leaf buds were overwhelmed with emotion, reflecting on the past and present, each one shedding tears. How many hardships had they endured along their journey? But what were those hardships compared to Ye Chu's past?
Some longtime fans even took the opportunity to spread knowledge and give Ye Chu a good beating. Many newcomers who became fans because of "Happy Street" went directly from being fans of the character to being die-hard fans.
Regardless of the era, people always enjoy stories of gratitude and good deeds being rewarded. This is an innate human instinct to yearn for kindness and beauty. This trending topic quickly went viral, its popularity soared, and the number of people participating in the discussion surpassed all previous interpretations of the plot of "Happy Street."
Interestingly, the feedback on this interview varied across different platforms.
Platforms like Pixiv and Baidu Tieba were extremely excited about this interview, believing it definitively proved that the film *Happy Street* was created to fight against capital. —After all, isn't "PipeBetX Group" itself a form of capital?
Fast-talking Lao Liu was so excited that he released three videos in one go, providing comprehensive and multi-faceted justification for his previous interpretation. The underlying message was clear: I'm a prophet. Other content creators in this school of thought naturally followed suit, spreading the word and celebrating their own correctness. Those with interpretations differing from these mainstream creators weren't to be outdone, jumping in to refute him. Suddenly, chaos reigned, and the interpretations of "Happy Street" on Pi Station reached their second peak.
Platforms like Douyin and Hongshu were much milder towards Shang Yechu, with almost unanimous praise.
Douyin users have a wide age range, and many are around the same age as the residents of Xingfu Commercial Street, making it easier for them to empathize with these neighbors. These people love hearing stories of reciprocity, and they are all moved to tears. They praise Shang Yechu to the skies. Sometimes, a comment praising Shang Yechu for being kind-hearted and a good person can get over 300,000 likes.
Sweet potatoes are a relatively new trend, and the community atmosphere is relatively mild. The situation is similar to that of TikTok.
The most unique aspect is the style of Green Petals. Green Petals netizens insist that this interview is yet another publicity stunt by Shang Yechu's team. Although Shang Yechu appears uninvolved on the surface, he might be secretly overjoyed.
This kind of rhetoric is the main argument of Green Petal. Qingping Entertainment's PR department, which was utterly useless and not much better than other entertainment companies, has been rapidly elevated to the top tier of PR teams in the domestic entertainment industry after this incident, becoming an unparalleled national hero.
In any case, it's better to have different opinions than to have no one care at all.
Flowers and applause poured in, but troubles followed in quick succession. Shang Yechu wasn't as overjoyed as netizens had speculated.
Reporter Zhuge's methods are truly underhanded and even violate professional ethics. Generally speaking, journalists only resort to such methods when exposing criminals or illegal activities.
The residents of Xingfu Commercial Street are honest and straightforward, and they mean what they say. If word gets back to the neighbors about the interview with the barbershop owner, the elderly owner will likely face criticism and gossip on the pedestrian street, causing him shame and embarrassment. However, if Shang Yechu publicly steps forward and tells the residents, "This won't harm me; in fact, it will benefit me," then the residents might just spill the beans, making the public believe that the whole thing was a publicity stunt by Shang Yechu. It's a real dilemma.
Ultimately, it's because these paparazzi and reporters in the Chinese entertainment industry are so unethical.
After racking his brains, Shang Yechu still couldn't find a solution that satisfied both sides. He had no choice but to call Grandma Hu for help, asking her to keep an eye on things on the street.
Grandma Hu is a respected elder and the spiritual leader of the pedestrian street. With her around, everyone should listen to her.
After contacting Grandma Hu, Shang Yechu was still worried, so she asked her assistant to find several young actors from the company. Shang Yechu personally wrote the script, the gist of which was that "the news leaked by the barbershop owner didn't have a very bad impact on Yechu." Shang Yechu paid for the actors herself and had them disguise themselves as ordinary customers to spread the word on the pedestrian street.
This is a very stupid method, but Shang Yechu can't think of a better solution.
Besides, it's impossible for a street to be full of good people. Now that reporters have discovered the treasure trove that is Happiness Commercial Street, they'll probably swarm like flies to blood. They'll inevitably find a few who speak ill of Shang Yechu.
The only saving grace was that there were still more good people than bad on the streets. During the six months Shang Yechu lived on Xingfu Commercial Street, she had abided by the law and had no major scandals. Even if someone came forward to slander Shang Yechu, the other residents would stand up to clarify things.
Nothing in this world is perfect. Fortunately, Shang Yechu has a long road ahead of her.
After the Spring Festival film season, there's one last mini-climax for Spring Festival films: the Lantern Festival holiday.
Coincidentally, the newly built Happiness Street also officially opened to the public on this day.
