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

The wave that swept through the audience after the first episode aired was more intense than most people had anticipated.

The popularity of "Your Lie in April" did not diminish at all in the following week.

Instead, it shows a trend of continuous increase.

On the homepages of major video websites, the most prominent position is still occupied by that poster of the blonde girl and the black-haired boy meeting.

The moment the image switched from black and white to color was captured by countless people.

They were made into live wallpapers and short videos, which spread virally across various social media platforms.

Inside the office of Healing Animation Co., Ltd.

Holding a tablet computer, Shen Qingyue couldn't suppress her smile as she quickly walked to Su Bai's office door and knocked.

"Look, Su Laozei! The second episode hasn't even aired yet, and our pre-registration viewership has already surpassed 50 million! This breaks Bilibili's historical record!"

Inside the office, Su Bai sat quietly in front of the computer, the screen displaying densely packed data reports.

The revenue generated from the first episode, the constantly fluctuating numbers in the backend, and the user profile analysis from various platforms.

He heard Shen Qingyue's voice, but calmly raised his head and looked away from the screen.

"understood."

His reaction was indifferent, as if the fifty million was just an insignificant number.

Looking at Su Bai's expression, Shen Qingyue's excitement subsided somewhat.

She knew Su Bai's personality; it had been like that ever since they created Anohana.

It seems that nothing can ever cause him to show much emotional fluctuation.

She took a deep breath and said.

"Old Su, the PR department asked if we need some pre-broadcast hype before the second episode airs?"

Su Bai gently shook his head.

"No need, the emotions we have now are enough. Just let them wait."

Excessive publicity can sometimes dampen the audience's enthusiasm.

The anticipation across the internet has now reached its peak, and any unnecessary actions could be superfluous.

All he had to do was serve up the second episode at the agreed time.

Time flew by and it was already Saturday night at eight o'clock.

Countless people waited in front of their TV, computer, or mobile phone screens in advance.

Wang Kai's live stream started very early, with an exceptionally eye-catching title.

[The second step on the road to godhood! Continue to witness Su Laozei's reformation!]

The live stream was even more popular than the previous week, with the sheer volume of comments causing the video to lag slightly.

At 8:00 AM sharp, amidst much anticipation, the second episode of "Your Lie in April" aired on time.

The story picks up right where the last episode left off, with Kousei Arima and Kaori Miyazono, the girl who shines like a ray of light, officially meeting.

However, this encounter differed somewhat from the romantic unfolding the audience had imagined.

"You must be the Kousei Arima that Tsubaki mentioned, right? I'm Kaori Miyazono, nice to meet you. By the way, you look so gloomy, like a ghost."

The girl didn't hold back in her criticism as soon as she opened her mouth.

She showed none of the awkwardness one might expect from a first meeting; her natural ease and energetic demeanor made viewers in front of the screen burst into laughter.

Later, the audience learned the whole story from their conversation.

It turns out that Kaori Miyazono's true love is Kousei's friend, the popular and handsome Ryota Watari.

She asked Xiaochun to introduce her, and Xiaochun also brought along her childhood friend, Arima Kousei, saying that it would be more lively with more people.

Therefore, in this four-person date, Arima Kousei's role from the beginning was just to make up the numbers, a dispensable friend A.

Wang Kai's live stream chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha".

"So that's how it is. I thought it was a fateful encounter, but it turns out I was just a wingman for my brother!"

"The character of Friend A is quite interesting. I feel sorry for Kousei for a second."

"Don't you think this is sweeter? Starting as friends and developing slowly, that's true pure love!"

Wang Kai watched the plot and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, this setup is so realistic. Starting as friends, Kousei will definitely use his gentleness and talent to gradually attract the female lead! I get it, Sue is such a genius!"

The plot of the animation continues to unfold.

The four of them went to a concert hall together.

It turns out there's a violin competition being held here today, and Kaori Miyazono is one of the participants.

Backstage, Kousei saw Kaori Miyazono's violin for the first time.

It was an old-looking zither, with some scratches and dents on its surface.

However, when Kaori Miyazono picked it up, her entire demeanor changed.

She was no longer that somewhat carefree girl; her eyes revealed a focused intensity.

Soon, it was Kaori Miyazono's turn to perform.

She walked onto the stage wearing a white dress.

The piece she chose to participate in was Beethoven's Ninth Violin Sonata.

When the first note sounded, the entire concert hall, as well as all the audience members in front of the screen, felt something different.

The animation production team here showcased their almost obsessive attention to detail.

Kaori Miyazono's performance did not follow the rules of the score at all.

Her archery was unrestrained, her body swayed wildly with the music, and her expression was sometimes intoxicated and sometimes excited.

The music she played lacked the textbook precision of other performers.

In some places, it could even be described as rough and rushed.

However, the music contained a vibrant life force.

It's not playing music; it's pouring out its heart, shouting, and burning.

Arima Kousei, sitting in the audience, was completely stunned.

In his world, music is precise, cold, and like the merciless metronome in his mother's hand.

He never knew that music could be like this.

It can be so free, so unrestrained, so full of color.

Kyoto, inside a teachers' apartment building.

Yan Su frowned deeply as he watched the scene on television.

From the perspective of a classical music authority, the girl's performance in this animation is simply absurd.

The rhythm is unstable, the emotions are excessive, and it is a complete misinterpretation of Beethoven.

Can......

His heart, which had long been calm and still, was uncontrollably stirred by the music.

He recalled his youth, when he too had that same impulsive urge to recklessly pour all his emotions onto the strings of his instrument.

However, as he grew older and his status rose, he became increasingly focused on skills, rules, and so-called orthodoxy.

That initial enthusiasm seems to have been forgotten in some corner.

In the anime, Kaori Miyazono's performance ended.

The judges on the panel whispered among themselves, their expressions serious.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Ultimately, the results were announced, and Kaori Miyazono was disqualified from the competition for not strictly adhering to the score.

However, she won first place in the audience vote.

As she walked off the field, she showed no sign of frustration. Instead, she gave a big smile to Kousei and the others who came to comfort her.

"Has my music reached out? Has it touched people's hearts?"

Arima Kousei looked at her smiling face, which was even brighter than the sun, and was speechless for a moment.

Their sweet interactions unfolded in this magical atmosphere.

On rating websites, "Your Lie in April" still holds a solid 9.9 rating after the second episode aired.

The comment section below has been completely overrun.

"I'm going crazy! I declare Kousei and Kaoru to be my favorite couple of the year!"

"What's wrong with Friend A? Friend A will get promoted sooner or later! Get him going!"

"Old Su, I misunderstood you! Not only have you reformed, you've become a pure love god! Please, give me more of this slice-of-life stuff, I could watch a hundred episodes!"

The word-of-mouth spread explosively, rapidly expanding from the core animation community to a wider general audience.

For the first time, the name Su Bai was closely associated with words like romantic and beautiful.

The comments section under his personal social media account has changed from pleading for him to being a human being to being full of praise and gratitude.
