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

After the victory celebration banquet.

Midnight.

After experiencing several glitches due to traffic overload, the official box office data platform of China's film industry has finally updated the final box office data for Spirited Away.

A number that would cause anyone's heart to stop if they saw it with their own eyes.

68.88 billion!

This number is like a nuclear bomb, detonating at the very center of the entire internet.

Holy crap!

We've reached the top! We've reached the top! We are the champions!

[68.88 billion! Witnessing history! I'm a part of history!]

[Holy crap! I watched it five times! Who understands?! Who understands the joy of nurturing a champion like this?!]

Weibo exploded.

The editors of major media outlets jumped up from their chairs the moment they saw the numbers, roaring at the entire office with voices cracking.

"Quick! Publish the article! Grab this wave of traffic!"

Countless financial bloggers went live overnight, with simple, direct, and soul-searching titles.

[In three minutes, let me show you how much money Su Shen made from just one animated film. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep after hearing it!]

On the top floor of Galaxy Pictures, Wang Zhongjun stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the glaring number on his phone screen.

He felt a deep sense of awe after being struck head-on by the torrent of the times.

He lost, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

No, you should say he won.

As the largest cinema operator, he made a fortune.

But deep down he knew that from the moment he tried to define the film with the perspective of the past.

He had already been left far behind by that young man.

We're all getting old.

Wang Zhongjun muttered to himself, for the first time doubting his business acumen honed over decades in the business world.

And at this very moment, at the very center of this colossal wave.

Amidst a wave of enthusiastic praise like "Su Shen YYDS" and "Congratulations on reaching the top," the official Weibo account of Healing Animation posted a completely different update.

It was an official invitation from the country of Hans, bearing the image of a majestic golden bear.

[Official Invitation to the Main Competition of the Golden Bear International Film Festival: Spirited Away!]

The accompanying text was equally simple, yet it was filled with an unspeakable ambition.

Our next stop: the land of Hans.

hiss!

If reaching the top of the domestic film history charts is a commercial achievement, then...

Therefore, being shortlisted for the Golden Bear main competition, the most prestigious of the world's three major film festivals, is like launching an assault on the highest peak of the art world!

This has completely stirred up a hornet's nest!

The online sentiment instantly shifted from celebration of the commercial victory to a more fervent sense of national pride!

[Damn! I'm so narrow-minded! While I'm still basking in the glory of box office success, Su Shen is already studying the World Championship!]

Go for it! Let's put Chinese animation at the top of the world!

[The main competition! That's competing against the world's top live-action films! The level of competition is absolutely incredible!]

[Who said animation was lowbrow before? Su Shen's slap in the face has gone from domestic to international!]

......

An emergency press conference was held the following day.

The scene was brightly lit by flashbulbs, as if it were daytime.

Hundreds of reporters packed the scene, their faces beaming with excitement.

They watched the young man walk calmly onto the stage as if he were a walking legend.

Su Bai, dressed in simple casual clothes, showed no elation at the sight of the enormous crowd, only his usual calm.

It was as if the 68 billion box office and the invitation from the country of Hans were nothing more than dessert to him.

"This nonchalant, pretentious vibe is just perfect!"

A young reporter was whispering among himself, but his camera was clicking faster than anyone else's.

A foreign journalist managed to get the first question, and his face flushed with excitement.

"Director Su! Hello! After achieving unprecedented success in the domestic market, you're now heading straight to the world's top film festivals, facing master directors from all over the world. Do you feel any pressure?"

This question reflects the sentiments of everyone.

That's the land of Hans! It's the holy land of cinematic art worldwide!

The camera focuses.

Su Bai calmly walked to the front of the stage and took the microphone.

He wore that signature, harmless smile, but his eyes were sharp as swords.

He surveyed the entire room, and then slowly began to speak.

"pressure?"

He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant amusement.

"No."

One word silenced the entire room.

He continued speaking, word by word, in a tone that was so calm it was almost arrogant.

"I just want to tell the world how great stories animation can tell."

He paused, his smile widening, but what he said sent chills down the spines of all the reporters present.

"And incidentally, teach some of those high and mighty people a lesson too."

"What, is a movie?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire room fell silent!

All the reporters forgot to press the shutter button, just staring blankly at the young man on the stage who had made such a shocking statement, their minds completely blank.

This is no longer confidence!

This is a declaration of war!

It's a blatant challenge to the traditional film industry worldwide!

The press conference ended, and the celebrating crowd dispersed.

Su Bai returned to his office alone, ignoring the final box office report on his desk that represented a huge fortune.

As the clamor of success faded away, he seemed to hear another voice, one from long ago, from the vow he made to himself when he first came into this world.

I want to bring those original works to this world.

I will also place them on the highest throne, so that the whole world can only look up to them!

This was the goal he wanted to achieve from the very beginning.

A slow smile crept onto Su Bai's lips.

There was a domineering air about that smile.

Hans, he has arrived.
