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

Department Head's Office.

Chen Guodong sat behind his desk, his face so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out of water.

What lay open in front of him was Su Bai's graduation project application form, with a title that was thirteen characters long and extremely glaring.

"Bang!"

He slammed the thick "Animation Production Industry Standards Manual" onto the table with a dull thud.

"Su Bai! You still know how to come?"

Chen Guodong's gaze was like a knife scraping across Su Bai's face.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me your entire outline of your work! If you dare to spout any more nonsense about reopening old wounds, you can get out of here right now and fill out an application to extend your studies!"

He had already made up his mind that if there was even the slightest inconsistency in Su Bai's outline, he would immediately reject the topic.

He would never allow such attention-seeking behavior to tarnish the reputation of the Animation Department of Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts!

Teachers from several nearby offices also peeked over, clearly drawn by the commotion in the classroom, all wanting to see what would happen to this brave man who dared to defy Chen Guodong in public.

Despite being the center of attention, Su Bai seemed to feel no pressure whatsoever.

He calmly pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Chen Guodong, and spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if stating a fact.

My story is very simple.

"The main characters of the story are six best friends who grew up together. However, after one of them, a girl named Menma, accidentally drowned, the remaining five harbored resentment and fell apart, almost never contacting each other again as adults."

Hearing this, Chen Guodong frowned even more deeply.

Someone dies right at the beginning?

What kind of healing is this?

He suppressed his anger and gestured for Su Bai to continue.

"The story begins ten years after Menma's death. The male protagonist, who has become a reclusive high school student, suddenly sees Menma's spirit in the summer."

Upon hearing the word "soul," Chen Guodong's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say?!"

He slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and roared angrily, pointing his finger at Su Bai's nose.

"A soul?! Su Bai! You're playing with fire!"

"Do you even know that supernatural and ghostly themes are strictly prohibited from the authorities! This is feudal superstition! Are you trying to get yourself killed, or are you trying to drag our entire animation department down with you?!"

Outside the office, the teachers who had been eavesdropping also gasped in shock.

"My God, a ghost story? Has this kid gone mad?"

"This is outrageous! This is a red line! Director Chen will skin him alive!"

"It's over, it's over, even a god can't save him now."

Everyone was convinced that Su Bai had completely crossed a forbidden zone and was doomed.

However, Su Bai remained completely unfazed by Chen Guodong's furious rage.

He raised his head, meeting Chen Guodong's angry gaze, and said clearly, word by word:

"Director, you've misunderstood."

"This isn't supernatural, nor is it horror. Think about it, why would a childhood friend who died ten years ago suddenly reappear?"

Chen Guodong was taken aback by his question.

Su Bai didn't give him time to think; his voice suddenly became solemn and earnest.

"She didn't come back for revenge, nor did she come back to frighten people. She came back with an unfulfilled wish!"

"This is a story about protection and reunion!"

Su Bai stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, stared intently at Chen Guodong, and spoke with a captivating voice.

"Imagine a group of young people, traumatized by the loss of a close friend and estranged from each other. This miracle forces them to reunite. Initially suspicious and avoiding each other, they eventually work together to fulfill the girl's last wish. In the process, they resolve long-standing issues, reconcile with their past selves, and ultimately gain the courage to move forward!"

"Isn't this the most profound and heartwarming form of healing?"

Chen Guodong was stunned by Su Bai's series of powerful words. His anger froze, his mouth was half open, and he couldn't say a word.

Why has the art style suddenly become so righteous and noble?

Seeing the wavering look in his eyes, Su Bai immediately pressed his advantage.

"Furthermore, Director, what is the core of this story? It's childhood friendship! It's the positive energy of fighting for friends without hesitation! It's the upward spirit of striving to make up for regrets! This perfectly aligns with the mainstream values ​​we've always advocated!"

"As for the art style,"

Su Bai spread his hands, outlining a beautiful blueprint.

"Absolutely refreshing and bright! Summer sunshine, lush green shade, clear streams, a girl's white dress... every shot is a picture that makes you feel the beauty of life. It's definitely a masterpiece that will warm everyone's heart!"

The office was deathly silent.

Chen Guodong stared blankly at Su Bai, his mind a complete mess.

He felt like he had been tricked.

Even though the other person was telling a ghost story, the way they packaged it with those words made it sound like it was full of educational value and positive energy.

This kid must be a genius at public speaking, right?

This is in conjunction with Su Bai's earlier theory of redefining healing.

He looked down at the long and tedious title on the application form.

This seemingly pretentious title has now acquired a touch of literary beauty.

Chen Guodong's Adam's apple bobbed, feeling that his decades-long understanding of animation was being shaken to the brink of collapse by a few words from a young boy.

wrong!

He slapped his forehead. This kid was just twisting the facts!

But what he said was impeccable!

Seeing the conflicted expression on Chen Guodong's face, which alternated between pale and flushed, Su Bai knew that the fish had taken the bait.

Finally, Chen Guodong slumped back into his chair.

He stared intently at Su Bai for a full half minute, as if trying to see a flower bloom on his calm face.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Okay! I can sign it for you."

Upon hearing this, a suppressed gasp rang out from outside the door.

Everyone thought they had misheard!

Director Chen actually agreed?

Su Bai's lips curved into a perfectly timed smile.

"but!"

Chen Guodong slammed his hand on the table, his eyes sharpening once more.

"Let me be clear from the start! I've approved the topic, but this is a gamble you're taking on your future!"

He picked up a pen, signed his name on the application form, and then forcefully pushed the form in front of Su Bai.

"If your work receives a lukewarm reception at the graduation screening and doesn't garner unanimous praise from teachers and students, you can forget about getting your diploma! I'll personally apply to the school to have you expelled!"

"Do you dare to accept?!"

These words were like a thunderclap, sending chills down the spines of the teachers eavesdropping outside the door.

This is a life-or-death gamble!

All eyes were on Su Bai, eager to see how he would react to the immense pressure that was enough to crush any student.

Will they panic?

Will they still regret it and beg for mercy?

However, Su Bai simply picked up the signed application form.

He faced Chen Guodong with a calm and confident gaze.

"Thank you, Director."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the office amidst everyone's bewildered gazes.

Chen Guodong, who had been completely fooled, was left alone in his office, questioning the meaning of life.
