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

The celebration banquet following the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony for Chinese animation was held at a rooftop revolving restaurant.

Tonight, all the light seems to be focused on one person.

"President Su, congratulations! Clannad is no longer just an animation; it's art, it's philosophy!"

An investor with a beer belly, holding a glass of champagne, wore a fawning smile.

"Yes, Ms. Su, your insights into life are truly insightful and thought-provoking. Our company has already organized all employees to include Clannad as mandatory content in our corporate culture training!"

The CEO of another listed company followed closely behind, speaking earnestly.

Surrounded by a group of capital tycoons, industry giants, and well-known film critics, Su Bai calmly dealt with everyone's compliments with a polite yet aloof smile.

After Clannad swept all the major awards at the Golden Dragon Awards with an undisputed victory, even winning the unprecedented Annual Special Social Contribution Award.

The name Su Bai has been completely deified.

He is no longer just a genius animator.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is already an art master who has touched upon the essence of life and philosophy, and a true mentor in life.

"Mr. Su, what are your plans for your next project?"

Finally, someone asked the question that everyone in the room cared about most.

This question instantly silenced the surrounding murmurs.

Everyone pricked up their ears and stared intently at Su Bai, hoping to hear a grand proposition from him that would once again shake the world.

"Yes, President Su."

The investor's eyes lit up as he eagerly speculated.

"Having explored the meaning of life, will your next work challenge human nature? Or civilization? Or are you preparing to create an Eastern-style epic fantasy that explores mythology and faith?"

"I think Director Su might make a hard science fiction film that explores the ultimate questions of the universe and existence!"

A film critic pushed up his glasses, his tone confident.

In their view, this is the normal path that aligns with Su Bai's current divine status.

After climbing an 8,000-meter peak, it is only natural to launch an assault on another 9,000-meter summit.

No one would think that a king who has already stood on the summit of Mount Everest would turn around and play in the sand at a children's playground at the foot of the mountain.

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Su Bai simply smiled, raised his wine glass, and said casually.

"My next project will be a light and enjoyable story. Please look forward to it."

Relaxed and enjoyable?

The group exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of confusion in the other's eyes.

But soon, they found a reasonable explanation on their own.

"I get it! It's like Spirited Away, using a lighthearted, fairytale-like story to wrap a profoundly deep core!"

"That's right! The master's method always returns to simplicity! The more relaxed the appearance, the more terrifying the underlying philosophical speculation may be!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I'm already looking forward to it!"

The crowd once again fell into a frenzied worship of self-mastery.

Su Bai simply smiled and remained silent.

.....

late at night.

Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue and her colleagues were still thrilled by tonight's huge success.

Only Su Bai left the table early and returned here.

He didn't open any files, nor did he review the evening's events; he simply sat quietly in front of the computer, lost in thought.

The clock hands quietly passed midnight.

At that very moment, the official website and Weibo account of Healing Animation Company were simultaneously updated.

The link above points to a newly released poster.

The poster's style, with its pink main color, is full of sweetness and dreaminess.

The art style is extremely cute chibi, with all the characters transformed into round, three-headed figures.

In the center of the image are Menma with white hair, Kaori Miyazono with blonde hair, Nagisa Furukawa with short brown hair, and Madoka Kaname with pink twin tails...

The leading ladies who once made audiences cry their hearts out are now holding hands, their faces beaming with radiant smiles, as if they were in an eternal summer festival.

At the very top of the poster, information about the new work is displayed in a cute, rounded font.

[Project Name: Healing Connection]

[Type: Short Anime]

[Coming soon]

......

In the first few minutes, all the netizens who saw this post late at night thought there was something wrong with their phones.

They repeatedly refreshed the page, exited and re-entered the app, and even restarted their phones.

When it was confirmed that the pink cartoon poster was still hanging there, the entire internet exploded!

[Holy crap? Am I blind? A short anime?]

[After Clannad, Su Laozei, you're showing me this? Did your account get hacked?!]

【I can't accept this! I had all the tissues ready, prepared for another baptism of philosophy and scripture, and you served me a bowl of instant noodles that's done in three minutes?!】

[Your life coach has switched to making children's animation? Su Bai, if you've run out of ideas, just say so. There's no need to humiliate yourself like this!]

The fan community is completely divided.

On one side were the traitors, wailing and lamenting, feeling that Su Bai had let everyone down.

He went from being a dragon-slaying hero to a money-grubbing evil dragon.

On the other side were the ecstatic faction, who had evolved ultimate resistance after being repeatedly tormented by Su Bai.

[Hahaha! I knew it! That old scoundrel Su has finally stopped acting!]

[A trap! This is definitely a trap! Have you forgotten about the adorable "Dumpling Family" before Clannad started airing?]

[The pinker the color, the more ruthless the person; this smile looks more and more like a final portrait! I get it, that old scoundrel Su is planning to drag all his wives out and wipe them out in one fell swoop!]

[A slash every three minutes? Isn't that even more cruel? It means that every time we watch an episode, we have to experience a rollercoaster ride from extreme joy to extreme sorrow within three minutes!]

This was so exciting! I'm absolutely blown away!

Just as netizens were arguing fiercely, a new bombshell announcement plunged the already heated debate into another round of intense discussion.

Gao Feng, CEO of Sky Entertainment, a rising capital giant in China, was asked about his views on the new healing animation during an online interview with a late-night financial channel.

Gao Feng, a man in his early thirties, wearing a custom-made suit.

His company, Sky Entertainment, has gained prominence in recent years thanks to its substantial capital and precise market operations.

It has quickly established itself in the entertainment industry and is showing signs of challenging established giants like Tencent.

Facing the camera, Gao Feng's lips curled into an undisguised contempt.

"I saw it, a short anime series? That's interesting."

He nodded slightly, a smile on his face, his posture elegant.

"I admire Su Shao; he is a highly talented artist. But art, in the end, is something that is too sophisticated for the masses."

"It seems that climbing the snow-capped Clannad mountain has left him feeling exhausted."

"Compared to enduring loneliness on the mountaintop, he now seems to prefer staying in the sandpit at the foot of the mountain, playing in the sand."

"There's nothing shameful about it; it's the law of business. Even great artists eventually have to bow to the fast-paced, traffic-driven world. I wish him all the best, and hope he has fun in the sandpit."

The interview video quickly went viral.

#SuBaiIsLame#

#Life Guru Switches Careers to Playing in Sand#

#Gao Feng: Su Bai finally bows to the power of online traffic#

One glaring topic after another quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.

As a result, the stock of the healing animation company, which had just hit its daily limit during the day due to winning an award, fell sharply in after-hours trading.

"Bang!"

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Qingyue rushed in, holding a tablet computer and looking anxious.

"Su Bai! Look!"

She shoved the tablet in front of Su Bai, and the screen was playing Gao Feng's extremely sarcastic interview video on a loop.

The comments section below was even more appalling.

[Mr. Gao is absolutely right, hitting the nail on the head!]

Ultimately, they both ended up like Wang Hao, except one relied on data and the other on sentimentality; in the end, they were both chasing traffic.

[I'm unfollowing you. Goodbye. My mentor died in the spring of 2026.]

Shen Qingyue's voice was trembling.

[The whole internet is laughing at us now! The company's stock price has even dropped! What are you thinking?]

She couldn't understand it.

At such a peak moment when he should have pressed his advantage, why did Su Bai make such a self-destructive and baffling move?

However, she faced her questions and the uproar from the outside world.

Su Bai didn't even turn his head.

a long time.

He let out a barely audible chuckle.

"laugh?"

He turned his head and looked at Shen Qingyue, whose face was full of anxiety, a playful smile curving his lips.

"very good."

"Let them laugh even louder."

"Only with a festive atmosphere can the celebration be truly lively."
