Even though it's not yet the end of August, the temperature in the capital is still scorching.
Aside from the Best Animation Director award, Jiang Xia placed all the other trophies and certificates on the company's honor wall, signifying that they represent the collective achievement of the entire team.
The staff from the Slam Dunk project next door would come over to take a look every now and then, with envious expressions on their faces.
Now, the seventh season of Tom and Jerry is airing on major TV stations and has recently won the Best Animation Award. As soon as the seventh season was released, its popularity on the Internet exploded.
Even with its consistent weekly updates and progressively unfolding storyline, Slam Dunk still falls far short in terms of popularity.
Unfortunately, Slam Dunk is a relatively niche sports anime, so it's already quite impressive that it can outperform other anime works.
In addition, the production of the Tom and Jerry movie is progressing steadily. The core team consists of several team leaders from the original project group, and more animators have been recruited. The 90-minute movie is roughly equivalent to the workload of one episode of a regular season.
However, since the decision has been made to release it on the big screen, the visual requirements must be more refined than the animated version, reaching a level of one frame per second, or four images per second.
Therefore, what was originally a two-month workload now takes about four or even five months to complete. This is also a testament to Qitian Animation's highest production level. It is a battle to prove itself and cannot be taken lightly.
The intense production continued until late August, when the operations department brought good news.
Tom and Jerry successfully established contact with several neighboring countries and opened up overseas markets. Animation fans in various countries gave it unanimous praise, further expanding its influence in the world.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh, "Tom and Jerry truly deserve to be called a classic among classics. Even in this parallel world, it is rapidly returning to the pinnacle of animation."
Thanks to its live streams of the Apple launch event and the Golden Dragon Animation Awards, DiliDili has attracted more new users and content creators, resulting in a significant increase in its daily active users. Its cultural community for young people is becoming increasingly sophisticated, making many video websites envious.
By the end of August, after nearly two months, the DiliDili app development team finally released the first version of the DiliDili app adapted for the io system.
However, this is still a trial version and has not been officially launched. It is only used for internal testing within the company.
Jiang Xia, as the first user and product manager, proposed more than a dozen improvements to the existing functions and UI design. The official launch is expected to take place in September.
By then, the usage of D-site will definitely reach a new level.

In the community garden, Shen Ying held Wang Ming's hand, and the two strolled slowly.
"Silly boy, I'm going back to Yudu in two days." She hesitated for a long time before saying softly.
"So fast?!" Upon hearing this, Wang Ming's hands clenched unconsciously, and he was clearly stunned for a moment.
“Yes, it’s already the end of August, and September is just around the corner. I have to go back to class,” Shen Ying said.
"oh."
Wang Ming lowered his eyelids slightly. His mood, which had been quite good, suddenly turned sour. After spending the past two months together, he had gotten used to having Shen Ying around.
The thought of being separated for another six months makes me feel terrible.
For couples deeply in love, every day apart is agonizing.
But since one of them lives in Beijing and the other in Chongqing, a straight-line distance of 1,000 kilometers, they could probably meet once a week or once a month if they lived in the next province.
But now we can only have a chance to meet during the long holiday.
"Are you unhappy?" Shen Ying turned her head and looked at his dejected expression.
Wang Ming sighed softly: "It's hard to be happy. How am I supposed to live without you? It's so painful."
She gently shook her beloved's arm: "Okay, I don't want to leave you either, but there's nothing I can do. It's my fault for not studying hard in high school. I guess this is God's punishment for me."
"This is clearly a punishment for me," Wang Ming whispered.
Shen Ying chuckled: "Silly boy, while I'm not around, you won't cheat on me with other girls, will you?"
"How could that be! You know perfectly well that my whole heart belongs to you." He denied it outright.
"Hehehe, I was just kidding. I promise I'll come find you as soon as winter break starts."
"Um!"
"Normally, we call each other, video chat, and talk on QQ. I know you miss me, and I miss you a lot too."
"But I can't hug you," Wang Ming said, pouting.
Shen Ying stopped and turned around to hug him gently: "Silly boy, they say that a short separation is only for a better reunion next time. The suppressed emotions at this moment will turn into a boiling flame at that time. My heart and your heart, even if they are thousands of kilometers apart, will keep beating at the same frequency. I will always love you."
“Ying…”
Wang Ming was deeply moved and hugged her tightly.
"Silly boy, I'll spend the next couple of days with you."
“I’m going to ask Lao Jiang for leave,” he said. “My storyboard is ahead of the project team’s, so taking two days off won’t delay the progress.”
"I want to go to the zoo, I want to go to the aquarium, and I also want to go to the water park when it's hot, and watch a romantic movie with you. But there's not enough time this year, how about next summer vacation?" Shen Ying smiled at him.
"Okay." Wang Ming nodded in agreement.
The two made a promise to meet a year later.
"While I'm gone, you have to work hard, okay? Study hard and work diligently. There's a Tom and Jerry movie coming out in the second half of the year, right? I want to see you on the stage at next year's Golden Dragon Animation Awards."
Wang Ming tapped his teeth: "This wish seems a bit difficult."
Next year, Slam Dunk will definitely be nominated, as will the Tom and Jerry movie. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Xia should still win the Best Director award.
Shen Ying chuckled: "Silly boy, it's not like you have to win the gold medal. There are so many individual awards, and screenwriting awards too. My Ming is so talented, winning an award is a piece of cake for him, isn't it?"
Wang Ming blinked: "If I win the award, can this be used as a betrothal gift?"
Shen Ying blushed slightly, looked up at him, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Sure."
"Tsk, I'll have to step up my game now."
Nothing is more inspiring than this promise.
"Silly boy, thank you for spending this summer with me. I'm very happy."
Shen Ying slowly closed her eyes, her delicate little mouth slightly pouting: "Silly boy, kiss me."
The two were kissing under the tree when Li Weiya, who was on her way home from working overtime, happened to pass by. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law secretly kissing, she coughed softly.
