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

After the company was established, Su Bai recruited some employees to produce animation.

Now he and Shen Qingyue are finally not alone.

at this time.

In the company's office area, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the young man twirling a pen at the far end of the conference table.

His eyes were filled with respect.

Su Bai.

The culprit who made the entire internet audience suffer with the drama "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

He and his colleagues had a thick stack of documents in front of them, with a few large characters written on the cover.

Your Lie in April.

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm looking at the project proposal."

Su Bai flicked his finger, and the pen fell to the ground on the table with a thud.

Shen Qingyue sat down next to him, took a deep breath, and reached out to take the proposal.

Her hands trembled slightly.

Although Su Bai's previous work, Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, made her cry for a long time.

But there's no denying that the story is very exciting.

What kind of exciting story will unfold this time?

Turn to the first page.

The character design came into view.

With long golden hair, lively and bright eyes, she held a violin in her hand and a bright smile on her lips.

The background is a sky filled with falling cherry blossoms and a clear blue sky.

Shen Qingyue was stunned for a moment.

The art style is exquisite to the extreme.

Just by looking at this picture, you can feel a wave of youthful energy.

Was this truly a cure in the normal sense?

She glanced at Su Bai suspiciously, but seeing his leisurely demeanor, she continued scrolling down.

"Arima Kousei, male, junior high school student. A former piano prodigy, he suffered from psychological trauma due to his mother's death and is unable to hear his own piano playing."

"Kaori Miyazono, female, violinist. Cheerful and outgoing personality, loves sweets, and enjoys playing pranks in the spring."

Shen Qingyue's brows gradually relaxed.

This is a typical story of a boy meeting a girl!

Although the male lead is in a bad situation, isn't this just paving the way for the female lead's redemption?

A sunny girl helps a gloomy boy out of the shadows and back onto the stage.

It's full of positive energy and hope, and the art style is so beautiful. This is definitely a youth inspirational anime!

"call......"

Shen Qingyue let out a long breath, slumped back in her chair, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

"You scared me to death! I thought you were going to pull some kind of trick again. Su Bai, you've finally shown some humanity! This is truly a healing anime!"

Seeing this, the other core artists and planners around also opened their project proposals to take a look.

"Holy crap, the female lead is so beautiful!"

"It's all good now, no need to send razor blades this time, I even feel like I can get some sweet moments!"

The atmosphere in the office instantly became cheerful.

Su Bai's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Finished watching?"

"I've finished watching it, and I think it's absolutely perfect!"

Shen Qingyue held the proposal in her arms.

"I'll contact an outsourcing company right now to do the background work. We have plenty of funds this time, so we're determined to make this spring absolutely stunning!"

"Don't rush."

Su Bai tapped on the table and pointed to the last few pages of the document.

"Read through the attachments. Especially the section on music requirements."

Shen Qingyue was taken aback.

Background music?

What kind of difficulty can there be in composing music for a youth romance anime?

It's just a matter of finding a decent composer, writing a few upbeat background music tracks, and creating a couple of catchy theme songs, isn't that all?

She casually turned to the last page.

However, her smile froze after just one glance.

"What is this?"

Shen Qingyue's voice began to tremble.

On that page, a long list of tracks was densely packed:

Beethoven's Ninth Violin Sonata

Saint-Saëns: Introduction and Rondo Capriccio

Chopin's Winter Wind Etude

Chopin: Ballade No. 1

Chrysler: The Sorrow of Love

Debussy: Clair de Lune

……

Each line of text felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on us.

"These are all world-class classical masterpieces!"

Shen Qingyue swallowed hard, looked up at Su Bai, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Su Bai, are you mistaken? We're making animation, not holding a concert at the Vienna Musikverein!"

"Look down."

Su Bai remained expressionless, even seeming to want to laugh.

"Check the notes."

Shen Qingyue mechanically moved her gaze to the notes and requirements following each piece of music.

Introduction and Rondo Capriccio

Requirements: Performers must demonstrate a wild, unrestrained, free, and violent style.

It should feel like you're arguing with the piano, with the intensity of tearing the sheet music to shreds, but the technique must be flawless.

The Sorrow of Love.

Requirement: Don't be sad, be a sorrowful smile.

It's about that kind of tenderness—a love that lingers even as life draws to a close.

It's meant to make everyone cry.

Chopin's Ballade No. 1.

Requirements: It must contain all the techniques that this piece should have.

At the same time, the second half should depict an explosion after despair, with the colors suddenly bursting from black and white to color, and there should be a sound of the soul being torn apart.

Snapped!

Shen Qingyue slammed the folder shut with a loud bang.

The entire office fell silent instantly, and no one dared to breathe.

"Su Bai, are you crazy?"

Shen Qingyue stood up, placed her hands on the table, stared intently at Su Bai, and her chest heaved violently.

"Do you even know what you're writing? Who are you going to get to record these tracks?"

"Even top music professors in China might not be able to perfectly convey this level of emotion in a performance!"

She grabbed the calculator, quickly typed in a string of numbers, and then shoved the screen into Su Bai's face.

"And what about the money! Do you know how much it costs to hire a soloist of this caliber? With your requirements, this isn't animation; it's burning money! The little we've earned isn't even enough to cover the performance fees for these pieces!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding employees all turned pale.

I thought it was easy mode, but it jumped straight to hell mode.

"We're not looking for ordinary performers."

"That's what one of the employees in charge of audio said weakly."

"If that's the requirement, then it has to be a real performer. But the problem is, those classical music masters are so arrogant, they don't even respect pop singers, how could they possibly come to compose music for an animation for kids like this?"

"Yeah, boss, that's impractical."

"How about we switch to some simpler songs? Or maybe use electronic synthesizers?"

Questions and criticisms arose one after another.

The team, which had just been full of enthusiasm, now felt as if they had been doused with cold water.

This is simply an impossible task.

Everyone thought Su Bai had become arrogant.

The success of Anohana made him arrogant, leading him to believe that animation could encompass everything, and he even wanted to challenge the realm of high art.

This is a major taboo in the animation industry!

Despite the room full of doubts and anxiety, Su Bai remained seated, without even changing his posture.

He looked at Shen Qingyue's face, which was flushed with anxiety, and suddenly smiled.

"Shen, the campus belle, if this were so simple, what would be the point of having us?"

"Who says animation can only use synthesized sounds? Who says animation soundtracks can't be masterpieces?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears.

"What I'm trying to make isn't just a good-looking animation."

"What I want to create is a world where the audience can see images just by hearing sounds."

Su Bai walked up to Shen Qingyue and gently patted the proposal.

"As for money."

Su Bai's gaze instantly sharpened.

"Since we can't afford or hire the masters in the market, let's go find the geniuses who can."

"Even if I have to turn the entire Dragon Kingdom upside down, I will find that voice."

Shen Qingyue looked into Su Bai's eyes.

There burned within it an almost fanatical obsession.

Just like when he said he wanted to make an animation that people would remember for a lifetime.

That look in your eyes makes you inexplicably want to believe.

"Are you sure you're not playing with fire?"

Shen Qingyue bit her lip, her tone softening.

"Of course, we're playing with fire."

Su Bai picked up his coat, casually draped it over his shoulders, and strode towards the door.

"How can it be called youth if it doesn't burn out completely?"

He stopped at the door and looked back at Shen Qingyue, who was still standing there in a daze.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

Shen Qingyue asked subconsciously.

"Where to?"

Su Bai pushed open the door.

"Go to the best music academy in China, Kyoto Conservatory of Music."

"Go and see just how tough those so-called arrogances of the classical world really are."

……

In the office, a group of employees were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

A moment later, someone muttered something under their breath.

"Boss, that back view...it looks like you're about to cause trouble."

To cause trouble?

An animator barged in with a bunch of seemingly absurd requirements.

I'm afraid I'll get kicked out.

In the classical music world, it's notoriously at the top of the hierarchy of contempt.
