Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de
Chapter 17 Director Zhang's Late-Night Lengthy Post: Apologizing for Prejudice!
The online frenzy and condemnation have continued for an entire night.
The popularity of Anohana has not diminished at all.
Instead, with countless people spreading the word, it snowballed and became increasingly terrifying.
The hashtag #SuBaiOldThiefGiveMeBackMyTears# is at the top of the trending searches, followed by the word "hot".
However, amidst the vast ocean of cries and memes, some discordant voices began to emerge.
Some accounts that claim to be industry insiders have started posting comments in a condescending manner.
"It's just a student work, but it's overly sentimental. Young people these days are getting more and more easily moved to tears."
"Heh, it's just a matter of accurately capturing public sentiment. Talk about artistry? It doesn't even deserve it!"
"Animation is ultimately a minor art form, not something that can be taken seriously. Once this trend passes, who will remember it?"
These remarks struck at the heart of every viewer's pain point, instantly igniting a new battleground.
Countless netizens who were moved by "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" spontaneously rushed to the comments section to refute these claims.
However, relying on their professional status, the other party used all sorts of tricky terminology and theories to thoroughly criticize the ordinary audience.
Just as this group of so-called industry insiders were gloating and enjoying the thrill of giving orders,
No one noticed that the account, which had remained silent since the end of the screening, had started to make a move.
Zhang Mou is a famous Chinese director with over 30 million followers on Weibo.
His latest Weibo post was just a few days ago.
[Invited to attend the graduation screening of my alma mater, Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts, I hope to see some surprises.]
At this moment, the comment section of this Weibo post has already been flooded with comments.
"Director Zhang! Come out and say something! Were you also fooled by that old scoundrel Su Bai?"
"Director Zhang, you're a top director in China! Quickly give this animation a professional critique! Avenge us viewers who were utterly disappointed!"
"Waiting for Director Zhang's sharp commentary! Let that kid surnamed Su know what true professionalism is!"
Just as countless people were waiting for this bigwig to step in, deliver the final blow, and put an end to this farce.
Zhang Mou's Weibo account has been updated.
It's not a short review, nor a repost, but a long article.
The title is "An Apology to Su Bai on Prejudice and Redemption".
The short title, however, carried immense power, instantly leaving all the netizens who clicked in with their minds blank!
Apologize to Su Bai?
Countless people, with trembling fingers and a feeling of having seen a ghost, clicked on the link.
At the beginning of the long article, Zhang Qian did not talk about any professional skills, but instead described his feelings in the screening room at that time.
"...When the lights came on, I found myself already in tears. At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of shame. I was ashamed that as a filmmaker with twenty years of experience, I could harbor such a deep-seated prejudice against animation as an art form."
"I used to think that animation was just a child's toy, a flashy and cheap entertainment product. It wasn't until I saw Menma disappear in the sunlight that I realized that true art never distinguishes between mediums. It is only about emotion, about the soul."
"Su Bai used the simplest brushstrokes to touch the deepest, most untouchable parts of each of our souls. The childhood friendship, the unspoken love, the irreparable regret. He didn't make a vehement accusation, but he made us all feel that heart-wrenching pain."
"This is a great work. It has a textbook-level narrative rhythm and an emotional outburst that is worthy of being recorded in film history. I dare say that it will be difficult for another animation to surpass it in terms of emotional resonance in the next ten years."
"Finally, I sincerely apologize to Su Bai for my previous arrogance. Thank you for showing me the true hope for Chinese animation."
……
This long article is piercing to the heart!
The previous anime, Anohana, merely planted a seed in the hearts of all viewers that anime was changing.
Zhang Mou's lengthy article dropped a bombshell on the entire Chinese film and television industry!
After a brief silence, the comments section under the article started refreshing like crazy!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! What did I just see? Director Zhang threw it?!"
"It will be difficult to surpass in the next ten years? What a terrifying assessment!"
"My scalp is tingling! Where are all those so-called industry insiders who were jumping around like that? Don't they feel any shame?!"
"Hahahaha! Awesome! This is so damn awesome! It's even more fun than laning by myself! Director Zhang is awesome (voice cracks)!"
This lengthy article completely reversed the direction of public opinion.
Those industry insiders who were previously using jargon to give their opinions have now fallen silent.
A blogger who claims to be the most sarcastic person in the animation circle was spouting nonsense just minutes ago.
The Weibo post reads: "Director Zhang definitely shares my opinion; this kind of thing is garbage."
Now, as he looked at Zhang Qian's Weibo, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
His hands trembled as he frantically clicked the delete button.
I want to retract the statements I just made.
However, it's too late.
Countless netizens, realizing what was happening, flooded his comment section.
Screenshots, mockery, and vilification!
"Speak up, @AnimationCircle'sMostSharpTongue, does Director Zhang share your views?"
"You've slapped my face so hard it's swollen, and you're still pretending to be dead?"
"This is hilarious! This is what they call an industry insider? They're not even as good as Director Zhang's toes!"
Similar scenes are playing out wildly in every corner of the internet.
Those who were arrogant before are now just as pathetic as they were before.
They were dragged out of their respective corners by angry netizens, hung on the pillar of shame, and publicly executed.
Su Bai didn't even personally intervene in this face-slapping incident.
The undeniable quality of the work itself, through the hands of industry giant Zhang Mou, shattered all prejudice and arrogance!
The exhilarating feeling of making those in high positions bow down in embarrassment.
This gave the viewers who had been holding their breath and supporting Su Bai an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and triumph!
And this is just the beginning.
Zhang Mou's apology letter serves as a weather vane.
Immediately afterwards, the official account of the China Film Critics Association reposted the message.
"A work of art that touches the soul. Congratulations to Jiangcheng Academy of Fine Arts and student Su Bai."
A well-known Chinese writer, known for his sharp writing style, posted three Weibo posts in a row.
"I didn't sleep a wink all night, for Menma, and for this damn healing. Su Bai, you're a genius."
Even state media published an article in the early hours of the morning titled "Using the Language of Anime to Tell Our Shared Emotional Story".
Although no name was mentioned directly, the accompanying picture clearly showed Menma looking back in the sunlight!
The entire internet has fallen silent!
The collective endorsement by these official institutions and authoritative figures is like a comprehensive barrage of firepower!
All doubts were completely silenced at this moment!
