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

Before the tears shed online have even dried, a new storm is already brewing.

Some sharp, discordant noises began to emerge.

Especially in some classical music forums that claim to be highbrow.

That's enough. It's just an animated film. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss? This hype is excessive.

Ultimately, it's still about consuming classical music, using tragedy as a gimmick. What's the fundamental difference between this and those terrible movies made by popular celebrities?

Professor Yan Su once said that dragging Chopin and Beethoven into the cesspool of animation is an insult! Now it seems he was absolutely right!

These arguments were quickly forwarded by some self-proclaimed rational and objective influential figures and by industry insiders who were envious.

They attempted to label the April anime as sensationalist and unworthy of its title.

Just as this countercurrent was trying to stir up trouble and gain attention for itself.

The appearance of one person silenced all the noise.

It's 11 p.m.

A Weibo account that is almost never updated, yet boasts tens of millions of followers and is verified as the honorary chairman of the Dragon Kingdom Music Association, suddenly posted a status update.

Qin Zheng.

In the world of classical music in China, this name is a living monument.

He was nearly ninety years old and had been semi-retired for thirty years. He was a towering figure among towering figures, and even Yan Su could only be considered a junior in front of him.

His Weibo post consisted of only one short sentence.

"It has been thirty years since I have been so moved by a work. This is not just a soundtrack, but a most touching love poem composed for classical music using animation. Its artistic value should be recorded in history."

If the ending of "April" shocked ordinary viewers.

Qin Zheng's Weibo post caused an uproar in the entire Chinese arts and culture scene!

Everyone is stunned!

Will it go down in history?

What does this mean?

The last time Mr. Qin gave such high praise was thirty years ago, when he wrote an inscription for a Chinese film that won the gold medal at the highest international film festival!

Now, he's using the same praise to describe an animated film?

The comment section below this Weibo post exploded instantly!

[Am I seeing things? Is that really Old Qin himself? Good heavens! He actually watches cartoons?!]

[This will go down in history! My scalp is tingling! That old scoundrel Su has really stirred up a hornet's nest this time!]

Where are those experts who said animation insults classical music? Come out and show yourselves! Does your face hurt? The titans of titans have personally stepped in to slap you in the face!

[That's great! Now who dares to say that watching animation is tasteless? I'll throw Qin Lao's Weibo post in their face!]

Online, the tide turned in an instant with overwhelming force!

All doubts and ridicule seem so pale and laughable in the face of this titan's name being recorded in history, like a clown jumping around.

……

In the heart of Kyoto, inside a quaint study.

The study was deathly silent.

Yan Su sat blankly at his desk, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he looked ten years older overnight.

In front of him, the computer screen was frozen on Qin Zheng's Weibo post.

The words "recorded in history" pierced his eyes, making his soul tremble.

Lost.

His exceptional appreciation of art, which he was very proud of, and the theories he upheld throughout his life.

In front of this senior whom he respected most, he became a complete joke.

"Grandpa, would you like some water?"

The granddaughter stood cautiously at the door, holding a water glass, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at her grandfather's distraught state.

Yan Su did not react, his gaze still fixed on the screen.

a long time.

He slowly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes looking at a group photo hanging on the wall.

That was a photo of him with his teacher, Qin Zheng, when he was young.

In the photo, the teacher is teaching him to play the violin, her eyes full of expectation.

"teacher."

Yan Su's lips trembled, and a painful whimper escaped his throat.

"I was wrong, I've embarrassed you."

Throughout his life, what he valued most was his reputation and integrity.

But now, he has personally shattered his own reputation.

He remembered that day, how he had kicked that young man named Su Bai out of the office like trash.

He recalled how he had publicly criticized the soundtrack of the animated film "April" as a waste of art.

And the performer he harshly criticized, the student he denounced as a disgrace to the academy, was Lin Xi.

Her piano playing touched the heart of a leading figure in the Chinese music scene!

How ridiculous!

How ironic!

"Hahaha."

Yan Su suddenly burst into a nervous laugh, his laughter filled with endless self-mockery.

He dedicated his life to discovering and nurturing geniuses.

But a true genius stood right in front of him, yet he treated her like trash and nearly buried her with his own hands!

He wasn't defending art.

He is killing art!

"I, Yan Su, am a sinner against classical music!"

He slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise startling his granddaughter.

The old scholar, who had been stubborn his whole life, opened the Weibo editing page with trembling hands.

For the first time, his eyes lost their haughty arrogance; instead, they held a resolute determination to risk everything.

Some mistakes, once made, must be admitted!

Some debts, once incurred, must be repaid!

……

Midnight.

While the entire internet was still reeling from Qin Zheng's speech,

Yan Su, the vice president of Kyoto Conservatory of Music, posted a long article on his verified Weibo account.

"A belated apology, and an old man's letter of self-reproach."

This article was instantly clicked on by countless netizens who stayed up all night.

Everyone assumed that this was just another stubborn old man trying to justify his previous statements.

However, the moment they saw the contents, everyone was stunned!

"Today, my esteemed teacher, Mr. Qin Zheng, praised animation as worthy of being recorded in history. I, an old man, read this and felt deeply ashamed. Here, on behalf of myself, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to Mr. Su Bai."

"I was wrong. My mistake was my arrogance and prejudice. I once said that animation is not worthy of discussing Chopin, which is a huge mistake! Mr. Su Bai's works have shown me that true elegance is not in the form of art, but in the soul of art."

Reading this, netizens were absolutely stunned!

Is this still the same aloof and unapproachable Yan Su?

This apology is far too weak!

But what shocked them even more was yet to come!

"However, my greatest sin was not my prejudice against animation. It was that I almost killed a true genius with my own hands."

"I dismissed the animation's soundtrack as amateurish and technically crude. I never imagined that its violin soloist would be none other than my student, Lin Xi, whom I had always looked down upon."

"She is a doctoral student at our institute, and her talent is so high that it is a once-in-a-century talent. However, because her playing style is contrary to the absolute rationality and precision that I advocate, she has been denounced as an outcast and has been suppressed for many years. I even once advised her to drop out of school."

"Today, hearing my mentor's high praise, I finally realized the truth. She is not some self-taught amateur; she is an unpolished gem of Chinese classical music!"

"I, Yan Su, am ashamed to be a teacher! I hereby apologize to Lin Xi! Art should be a diverse and vibrant field! It was I who almost became the executioner who cut down all the different flowers!"

At the end of the article, Yan Su wrote.

"I have said all I have to say. Starting tomorrow, I will resign from my position as vice president of the Kyoto Conservatory of Music and all other posts, and will go into seclusion to reflect on my mistakes. I have failed my mentor and I have failed art."

……

The entire internet is going completely crazy!

Holy crap!

[Yan Su resigned?! And even wrote a letter of self-reproach?! Am I dreaming?!]

[He almost stifled a genius, a gem of Chinese classical music! My God! Yan Su has practically elevated Lin Xi to a godlike status!]

[Not just Lin Xi! Su Bai and his animation have also achieved legendary status! To get a stubborn old scholar to publicly apologize and even resign! Su Bai's level of prestige has reached the heavens!]

[This is a brutal attack! Su Laozei's words not only brought tears to the audience's eyes, but also shattered the very foundation of classical music authority! So ruthless!]

The trending topics list has been completely overwhelmed once again!

#Yan Su's Letter of Self-Reproach#

#Su Bai, a man who made authority bow down#

#Linxi, a gem of Chinese classical music#

One explosive keyword after another propelled Su Bai's name to unprecedented heights!

Inside the Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue, Lin Xi, and all the employees stared blankly at the article that had stirred up such a huge wave on their phone screens, their minds completely blank.

The shock I felt was beyond words.

With one work, he reversed the prejudices of an entire era!
