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

The chairman's office of Galaxy Pictures.

The air condensed.

Wang Zhongjun's gaze was fixed on that blindingly absurd 100%.

He's been a seasoned businessman for half his life; what hasn't he seen?

But the number before him completely overturned the understanding he had built up over decades.

100% occupancy rate?

Or was it in that underworld scene where he deliberately suppressed it?

This is already a business miracle.

It was that young man named Su Bai who, with a little-known animated film, publicly executed this financial tycoon.

The office was eerily quiet, with only Wang Zhongjun's increasingly heavy breathing as the only sound.

He slowly raised his head, and for the first time, his usually composed face lost its usual calm.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to save face.

But under Su Bai's calm gaze, all the words stuck in his throat, turning into an awkward silence.

Because he knew that in the face of absolute power, any attempt to justify himself would only make him look more ridiculous.

Su Bai straightened up, put his hands back in his pockets, and his expression showed no trace of the ecstasy of a victor. Instead, it was as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

"Chairman Wang, according to the bet, 30% of the screenings, plus prime-time screenings."

"My people will come to discuss the specifics with you tomorrow."

After saying that, he didn't even glance at Wang Zhongjun again before turning and leaving.

That silhouette exuded confidence and style.

Only after the office door was gently closed did Wang Zhongjun seem to have all his strength drained away, and he slumped into his chair in despair.

He stared at the thin sheet of paper on the table, his mind a complete mess.

......

With the fulfillment of the bet, Spirited Away's screening rate skyrocketed, soaring from 5% to 30% overnight, and occupying all prime-time slots.

The pent-up demand for movies has finally exploded.

Viewers who had already seen the movie, feeling they couldn't be the only ones hurt, enthusiastically recommended it to their friends.

They especially emphasized the ending, which they themselves hadn't fully recovered from.

"You absolutely have to see it! If you don't like it, come back and hit me!"

"The ending? It's a happy ending, really!"

Trust me, you'll thank me after you read this!

As a result, more and more expectant viewers flocked to the cinema, eager to witness firsthand what kind of heartwarming ending this already hailed masterpiece would have.

On the screen, the story is coming to an end.

Chihiro passed Yubaba's final test and correctly guessed that her parents were not among the pigs.

She has gained her freedom and is about to return to her own world.

The audience in the theater all breathed a long sigh of relief.

That's wonderful! This kind and strong girl is finally going home.

On the once-dried-up riverbed, the white dragon came to see her off.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating the boy's handsome face.

He told her that he had remembered his name.

He told her that he would talk to Yubaba and agree to stop being her apprentice, in which case he would also gain his freedom.

Then, looking into Chihiro's eyes, he made a promise in an incredibly gentle and solemn tone.

"We will definitely meet again."

Upon hearing this, all the audience members in the theater were completely relieved.

One girl even whispered to her boyfriend next to her.

"See, I told you it would be a happy ending. They'll definitely be together in the future."

On the screen, Haku releases Chihiro's hand and whispers a few words of advice.

"Keep moving forward, and don't look back, keep going until you get out of the tunnel."

Chihiro nodded heavily, her eyes filled with tears, but she didn't say anything more.

She turned around and started walking.

One step, two steps.

Her slender figure, standing at the entrance of the long tunnel, appeared so lonely, yet so resolute.

The camera remained focused on her back.

The audience in the theater were also on tenterhooks.

"Turn back! Turn back and look at the white dragon!"

A girl screamed wildly in her heart, and she even clenched her fists unconsciously.

"Just one look, he's still waiting for you there!"

Another boy also held his breath, staring intently at the screen.

Chihiro hesitated for a moment, but she ultimately did not turn back.

She simply quickened her pace and resolutely walked towards the bright light at the tunnel entrance.

When she finally ran out of the tunnel and saw her parents again, the sunlight was so dazzling.

She turned around and looked at the deep tunnel entrance.

The place had become old and dilapidated, covered with moss, as if it had been abandoned for decades.

Where is there any hidden world left?

Where is that boy in white?

It was as if everything that had just happened was nothing but a dream.

As the screen dims, Joe Hisaishi's music, forever present, slowly begins to play.

Inside the cinema, however, there was a deathly silence.

There was a silence enveloped by a profound sense of loss.

The girl who had previously said it would definitely have a happy ending was now burying her head in her boyfriend's arms, her shoulders shaking, sobbing uncontrollably.

Why not turn back?

"Didn't they agree to meet again?"

Her cries echoed the sentiments of everyone in the audience.

Yes, why?

It was supposed to be a hopeful ending, so why do I feel so empty and sad after watching it?

This feeling is even more unsettling than witnessing a tragedy directly.

It was a kind of sorrow mixed with melancholy and endless imagination, with a lingering and powerful effect.

That night, the internet exploded again.

The official Weibo account's comment section has become a scene of widespread dissatisfaction and resentment.

[You heartless old scoundrel Su! I believed your lies, thinking this would be a happy ending, but I ended up crying so much!]

[You used to be outwardly ruthless, but now you've learned to hide your blade, haven't you?!]

This is even more painful than a bad ending! A bad ending means death, and I know there's no hope. This ending gives me hope, and then tells me that that hope may never be realized!

What happened to Bai Long? Will they really be able to meet again? Su Bai, you better come out and explain yourself!

Meanwhile, in the office of Healing Animation Company.

Su Bai leaned back in his chair, leisurely browsing through the tearful accusations from netizens.

The depressing value that was skyrocketing in the system's backend because of not looking back was, in his eyes, like the most dazzling fireworks.

The curve of his lips, illuminated by the dim light of the screen, appeared particularly malicious.

"This time, let's get healed. No one will die."

"It's just to let you taste a trace of regret at the peak of happiness, a regret that you may never see each other again."
