Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

Wang Hao and his team's arrogance did not cause much of a stir online.

Because everyone's attention was completely drawn to the somewhat catchy song in the PV.

If Clannad's first official PV can be said to have swept away all the controversy caused by Wang Hao's remarks.

So the song "Dumpling Family" sung by a child in the PV was a complete surprise.

Within just a few hours of the PV's release, the song transcended the realm of animation soundtracks and began to spread wildly across the entire Chinese internet.

The first to become popular were the major short video platforms.

Countless video creators felt as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings, dumplings..."

The simple lyrics, paired with the soft and sweet melody, make it an incredibly versatile background music.

Adding captions to cute videos of your cats and dogs makes them incredibly adorable.

Adding captions to food preparation videos makes the food look even more delicious.

Some humorous bloggers even paired this song with their workout videos, creating a stark contrast that instantly flooded the comment section with laughter.

Listening to the cutest songs while lifting the heaviest weights—that's how a real man should be!

The song achieved great success in its first wave of dissemination thanks to its cuteness and humor.

However, many people thought that this was just another viral internet song that would only be popular for three days.

The second wave of the dumpling family's spread began in a way that no one expected.

Dragon Kingdom, a model kindergarten in a certain city.

During morning exercises, the loudspeaker announced...

The radio calisthenics music that had been playing for decades and almost put children to sleep has changed.

Instead, a light and lively melody was played.

"Dumplings, dumplings, the whole dumpling family!"

The kindergarten teachers were pleasantly surprised to find that the rhythm of the song was perfectly tailored for the children.

A group of four- or five-year-old toddlers, like little dumplings running around in the grass, jumped and skipped to the music, their faces full of happy smiles.

After this scene was posted online, the title was simple and blunt.

#The kindergarten has been taken over by the dumpling family#.

This caused an uproar.

Countless parents lamented in the comments section.

"Help! My son has been singing this all day, and all I can think about is dumplings!"

"Don't even mention it! My daughter insists I buy her dumplings, and they have to be all different colors, like a whole family!"

The assessment by Wang Hao's team that their target users were young people whose minds were not yet mature has ironically come true.

He just didn't expect that this so-called younger generation would have such a terrifying influence.

After this song completely unified the early childhood education and pet communities, its influence extended into some seemingly impossible areas.

Backstage at the recording of a top-tier variety show, the queen of pop, known as the "Ice Queen," was caught on camera tapping her fingers to the beat and humming softly while touching up her makeup.

"Dumplings, dumplings..."

She didn't even realize it until her agent rushed over in a panic and covered her mouth.

After this behind-the-scenes footage was released, fans went crazy.

[Queen! What's wrong, Queen! Have you been kidnapped by that old scoundrel Su?!]

[Hilarious! Even a superstar can't escape the brainwashing of these idiots.]

This is not over yet.

A folk singer known for his creative talent was asked by fans during a live stream to sing "Tuanzi Dajiazu" (a type of Taiwanese folk song).

He was initially resistant, feeling that this would damage his dignity.

But unable to withstand the barrage of comments from fans, he had no choice but to pick up his guitar and try playing a few chords.

Then, he froze.

This seemingly simple children's song has a clean and warm chord progression, giving it a rustic and healing feel.

He tried singing the first line, and then he couldn't stop.

A folk guitar version of "The Big Family of Dumplings," with a touch of languor and warmth, was sung by him.

The viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap! This song can be sung like this? It's so good!

[I declare, this is the true cosmic anthem! Everything can be made into a dumpling!]

If this is still only circulating within the circle of young people.

So, in parks and squares across the country.

When that familiar melody began, everyone truly realized what a phenomenon really was.

A group of elderly men and women dressed in matching outfits, full of energy.

They followed the rhythm of "Tuanzi, Tuanzi, Tuanzi Family," and began to dance with light and agile steps.

The synchronized movements and the blissful smiles on their faces proclaimed that this children's song had achieved universal appeal in the Dragon Kingdom, from eighty-year-olds to three-year-olds.

The dumpling family has completely broken out of its niche.

Its popularity even far surpasses that of the Clannad anime itself.

Just as the nationwide dumpling craze was intensifying, Tencent Animation finally made a big move.

After a two-week-long teaser period, Wang Hao's S+ level project, Sword Immortal Romance, has officially released its theme song.

That's quite a large sum.

Composed by a veteran figure in the Chinese music scene, with lyrics by a master of classical literature, and sung by a top-tier idol.

The promotional expenses alone amounted to tens of millions. The music video was featured on the opening screens of major music platforms, on large LED screens in city centers, and on mobile TVs in subways and buses.

The song itself is also very well polished.

The arrangement is grand, the lyrics are gorgeous, the artistic conception is profound, and it is full of epic feeling.

Wang Hao and his team are full of confidence.

In their view, this is a true work of art, a masterpiece that can define an era.

The dumpling family is nothing more than a rustic celebration, not something that can be taken seriously.

However, the market's response was like a resounding slap in the face, hitting them all hard.

The theme song for "Sword and Fairy Romance" has impressive stats.

Thanks to the massive publicity campaign, the song garnered over 100 million views on the day of its release.

But that's all.

In the comments section, apart from fans controlling the comments by saying "My brother is great" and "Support my brother," there was almost no real discussion.

The opinions of passersby and listeners were surprisingly consistent.

"Hmm, it sounds nice."

"and then?"

"That's it, I forgot about it after hearing it."

This song is like a gorgeous empty shell; it may be perfect, but it's unforgettable.

In stark contrast, the Tuanzi family continues to dominate the top of various music charts and even tops global trending searches.

Soon, various malicious comparisons and memes began to appear online.

One of the most widely circulated jokes goes like this.

#Listen to Tuanzi while living life; listen to Legend of Sword and Fairy while sleeping#

Listening to "The Big Family of Dumplings" once can keep me happily slacking off at my desk all afternoon. Listening to three minutes of "Sword Immortal Romance" instantly cured my insomnia from last night.

One is the kind of joy that makes you want to dance along, the other is the kind that makes you want to kneel down and listen. How can you compare them?

[Sorry, I'm just a country bumpkin in Wang Hao's group, I choose dumplings!]

Tencent Animation headquarters, top-floor conference room.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The data analyst stood in front of the huge screen, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Wang, our song has fallen out of the top 20 on various music charts."

"And that dumpling family has a user activity level of hundreds of times higher in spontaneous dissemination, sharing, and commenting than ours."

Wang Hao sat expressionlessly in the main seat, staring intently at the data on the screen.

He couldn't understand it.

He couldn't figure it out.

He created works of art using top-notch models, resources, and computing power.

Why did he lose to a children's song that he felt was a waste of time to listen to even for a second longer?

Why?

He finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

No one dared to answer.

The chief music consultant wiped away cold sweat and said in a low voice.

"Perhaps it's because the public's aesthetic standards are now more down-to-earth."

"Bang!"

Wang Hao slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the composure that belonged to the elite had completely vanished.

He pointed to the cute dumpling icon on the screen, as if pointing to his mortal enemy.

"A decline in aesthetic standards?"

"A bunch of mutts! Their aesthetic sense has declined!"

He grabbed the data report from the table and slammed it to the ground, scattering the papers everywhere.

"This is a desecration of art, an insult to music!"

In the conference room, everyone was silent, trembling with fear.

They looked at this man, armed to the teeth with data and models, and for the first time, they saw fear on his face.

What he feared was that the world he had always believed in was crumbling in the face of a force he could not comprehend.

Su Bai didn't even personally participate.

With just a seemingly harmless children's song, a clever scheme was accomplished, resulting in victory without a fight.

As the premiere dates of the two anime series draw closer, online discussions about the Sword Immortal Romance series have been almost completely suppressed by Clannad.

All expectations and all eyes are focused on the healing animation.

Dragon Kingdom Television Station, Director's Office.

Li He was utterly astonished when he saw the comprehensive data report from the entire internet that his assistant had just delivered.

The report states that the anticipation level for Clannad has set a new record in the history of Chinese animation.

He let out a long breath, which was less a sign of relaxation and more a feeling of exhaustion after a heavy burden had been lifted.

He knew that he had made the right gamble by choosing to cooperate deeply with Su Bai despite the pressure.

He won again.

He picked up his phone and skillfully dialed the number he both loved and hated.

The call was answered quickly.

"Congratulations, you old scoundrel Su, you've already won before the battle even started."

Li He's tone was filled with undisguised admiration.

On the other end of the phone, Su Bai let out a soft laugh, calm as still water.

Li He paused, and for some reason, the soft chuckle made his heart tighten inexplicably.

He looked out at the clear sky and, as if possessed, asked a question.

"Old scoundrel Su, have you really reformed this time?"

Why do I keep feeling a little anxious?
