After everyone left, only Jiang Xia and Li Weiya remained in the conference room.

"Godmother, I need to prepare for my exams in December. Please keep an eye on the Tom and Jerry movie and the Dimensional Festival." Jiang Xia turned to Li Weiya and said.

Regardless, as the company's second-in-command, she was responsible for handling matters such as submitting the film for review, promotion and distribution, and scheduling screenings in theaters when time was tight. Sometimes, her influence was even more effective than Jiang Xia's.

As for the Dimensional Festival, there are too many aspects involved in a short period of time. Jiang Xia is also worried that Zhou Lu will not be able to handle it all by herself. After all, Li Weiya is a professional when it comes to art direction.

“No problem.” Li Weiya nodded with a smile.

"Godmother, would you like to direct a film?" Jiang Xia suddenly asked.

"I?"

She was slightly taken aback, not expecting Jiang Xia to ask her that.

"Um."

Jiang Xia said with a smile, "Given my godmother's achievements in art, it feels a bit unworthy for her to just do things quietly behind the scenes."

Li Weiya said with some helplessness, "If I go into animation, who will handle the company's affairs?"

"Godmother, just tell me if you want to or not?"

"Yes," Li Weiya nodded without hesitation.

She has been working in art for nearly 20 years and is proficient in all styles. Her art style is known for its delicate realism, and she is especially good at creating scenes. She once served as the art director for Warcraft's CG outsourcing. Her only regret is that she has never been able to direct an animation.

Now that she has this opportunity, she naturally won't miss it.

“In that case, how about I be the screenwriter for godmother and you direct? Yanwan and I will also do the voice acting for the male and female leads. Let’s work together to make a movie about a romance between teenagers.” Jiang Xia winked.

Li Weiya countered, "Don't you already have an idea in mind?"

"Yes. No one but my godmother could have come up with this idea to direct it, and I'm not good at this kind of subject matter myself," Jiang Xia readily admitted.

Upon hearing this, Li Weiya became interested. There weren't many works that could earn such praise from him, especially one with the potential to be made into a movie.

Furthermore, starting with Tom and Jerry, every film he directed has been a huge hit in the market, so it's clear that his new film will be quite good.

"What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Jiang Xia stopped hiding his intentions and simply said, "The title of the work is 'Your Name.' It tells the story of two young men and women from different time periods who, due to a once-in-a-millennium comet visiting Earth, wake up to find themselves swapping bodies, experiencing each other's lives, and gradually falling in love."

"That sounds interesting, but why is it in different time periods?"

Li Weiya frowned slightly. The idea of ​​swapping bodies is not uncommon in literary works, but it usually happens in the same time and space, because that makes it easier to fall in love.

"Because in the male protagonist's timeline, the comet visited Earth three years ago, and at that time the female protagonist had already been killed by debris falling from the comet."

Li Weiya: "..."

She was speechless for a moment, looking at Jiang Xia speechlessly, "You're telling me this is a romance movie?"

What romantic movie ever features someone handing a knife to another person?!

Jiang Xia chuckled: "The story isn't over yet. It's precisely because of the intersection of different timelines that there's more room for maneuver. What the male lead has to do is use the timeline to send the news of the comet hitting Earth to the female lead three years in advance. If she can dodge it, she can survive."

Li Weiya raised an eyebrow slightly: "Is that equivalent to changing history?"

"right."

Jiang Xia nodded with a smile. When Makoto Shinkai's film was released in theaters, it made countless couples cry their eyes out. The first half was a romantic comedy, but the second half was heartbreaking and tear-jerking.

For just one important person, someone I don't want to forget, someone I absolutely cannot forget, even if I don't remember her name, I will keep searching desperately.

Even if this love is separated by time and space, and they can only meet at dusk, the destined person, even if he forgets her name, will surely stop in his tracks the next time they pass each other, and recognize each other in the instant his heart flutters.

After Jiang Xia gave her a general outline of the story, Li Weiya had a pretty good idea of ​​how the plot would go: light and cheerful at the beginning, then heartbreaking later, and finally ending with a chance encounter in the vast sea of ​​people.

"You're not satisfied until you make the audience cry, are you?" she said with a helpless expression.

Jiang Xia shrugged. "Depressing is the essence of this kind of film. How can it become a classic and be remembered by the audience if it doesn't make you cry enough?"

"Then I'll show the script to my godmother first after I finish writing it."

"Okay, sure," Li Weiya nodded.

To be honest, she was quite interested in these sweet romance animated films. Whether it was Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan's daily displays of affection or her son and Shen Ying's tender love, she watched it all.

Li Weiya often felt envious. Since her husband's unexpected death, she has remained single for nearly twenty years without remarrying, yet she has always maintained that tenderness in her heart when it comes to love.

Perhaps this is a way to express one's feelings about love.

After receiving Li Weiya's affirmative reply, Jiang Xia felt relieved. If the production process of "Your Name" went smoothly, he could entrust her with all the daily romance dramas in the future.

At that time, he will be able to free up his hands to work on more action-packed, action-packed games in a larger market.

◇
