After making a bet with my parents, I surprisingly didn't nag them about Jiang Xia's excessive internet use for the entire weekend.
He was happy to do so, and the coloring of all the original artwork was easily completed in just one weekend. He even edited out a 30-second intro.
That is, the scenes where Tom catches Jerry and plays with him to his heart's content, if all of them were edited out, would probably be about seven minutes long.
Jiang Xia felt that the visuals were quite faithful to the original, but the lack of background music made it feel soulless.
So he took a screenshot and sent it to Lin Yanwan via QQ.
[Lin Baobao]: It's done so quickly?
[Jiang Hanhan]: It's just an intro, let's take a look and see what you think?
Lin Yanwan turned on her computer, and Jiang Xia then sent her a video that was several tens of megabytes in size.
She clicked to watch it, and although it was only 30 seconds long, the high degree of scene recreation made her feel as if she were seeing the original work. The only drawback was the lack of the essential voice acting.
She typed on the keyboard with great skepticism.
[Lin Baobao]: You're really not from the original team that made Tom and Jerry?
[Jiang Hanhan]: I also hope I am.
[Jiang Hanhan]: How do you feel?
[Lin Baobao]: In terms of quality, it's already very good. At least, when I saw this picture, my DNA was already moving.
[Jiang Hanhan]: How can it receive such high praise? Don't you think something's missing?
[Lin Baobao]: I know, I know. It's voice acting, right? I'll try to do it, but don't have too high expectations.
[Jiang Hanhan]: I'll be over in a bit, love you baby, Mua~
Jiang Xia turned off the computer, walked out of the study, looked at Xia Shanshan, and said, "Mom, I'm going to school."
"So early?" She glanced at the time; it was only a little past one o'clock.
"Yeah, I made plans with Wang Ming to play ball at school for a while."
"Go ahead, here, this is your living expenses for this week."
Taking the money from his mother, he asked with slight surprise, "Mom, why did you give me 50 more than I should have?"
"Well, I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately, so don't skimp on food and drinks."
Xia Shanshan said calmly, "Although the real reason is that my son has a girlfriend, he needs to buy his future daughter-in-law some snacks or something, or have some money to buy 001?"
"Thank you, Mom!" Jiang Xia blinked, finally having money to buy drawing paper again.
"Oh, and don't forget what you said: if your grades drop next time, you'll lose all your benefits!"
"Don't worry, Mom, I definitely won't let you down."
"That would be best."
Jiang Xia smiled, said nothing more, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and went out.
Xia Shanshan looked away. She didn't believe a word he said about going to school to play ball with Wang Ming. She guessed he had gone to that girl's house again.
The couple were quite surprised. They had assumed that Jiang Xia only used the computer to chat with his daughter-in-law online, and that he would be invisible during the day, spending the whole day with that girl.
Unexpectedly, he didn't go out at all, but just locked himself in his study. I have no idea what he was busy with.
However, it doesn't matter, Lin Xiaoman will take action.
As her biggest inside man, if those two really make any moves, she can just go to the school and ask them. How could she possibly hide it from them?

Lin Yanwan watched the 30-second Tom and Jerry animation several more times, her expression inexplicably complicated.
If the animation continues to develop to this quality, she can almost be certain that Tom and Jerry will become a hit. As for whether it will become a worldwide sensation like it did in her previous life, that remains to be seen.
Both being reborn individuals, Jiang Xia only took a little over a week to lay the first brick in the animation field he was familiar with, but she, on the other hand, hadn't done anything yet.
In this parallel world brimming with opportunities, she can't even take the first step. Even though she also possesses many famous pieces that never existed in this world.
Lin Yanwan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Perhaps it was time to make a change.
We can't let that guy keep us under his thumb for two lifetimes, can we?
Her phone, which was on the table, vibrated at that moment. She picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Jiang Xia.
"Baby, I'm at the door. By the way, is Mom home?"
"No, he went to work early this morning."
She glanced at it and it looked like two people were having an affair. She felt a little helpless. Did that guy really treat this place like his own home?
Then she called out to the living room outside, "Xiaoman, go open the door, your beloved Jiang Xia is here."
Lin Xiaoman, who was diligently practicing her new characters, immediately perked up, put down her pen, and ran towards the door, calling out as she ran, "Brother Jiang Xia~ Brother Jiang Xia~"
Hearing the childish voice coming from inside the house, Jiang Xia knew that it must be her sister-in-law who had come to pick her up.
The door slowly opened, and Jiang Xia immediately saw his sister-in-law, who was still only as tall as his thigh.
"Brother Jiang Xia, give me a hug~" Lin Xiaoman hugged his leg tightly and kept rubbing her head with her braided hair against him.
"Little Man, sweetie~ Big brother will give you a hug~"
Jiang Xia smiled and picked her up, handing her the Alpenliebe lollipop he had just bought at the store.
"Brother Jiang Xia, why are you only coming to see me now? Did Teacher Xia give you a lot of homework?"
“Yes.” Jiang Xia gently pinched her cute little nose. “Brother has so much homework to do at home, but now that he’s finished, he came to see Xiaoman, didn’t he?”
"Oh! Xiaoman too, Teacher Xia assigned so much homework, and Xiaoman still hasn't finished it, she's crying." She pouted, looking so aggrieved that Jiang Xia wanted to laugh.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. She was watching TV for the past two days and only started doing her homework right after lunch." Lin Yanwan came out of the room at some point and leaned against the door frame to look at the two of them.
"My sister is mean! Humph, Xiaoman will finish her homework in no time!" Lin Xiaoman pouted angrily.
Jiang Xia pinched her cheek: "Sweetie, Xiaoman, go do your homework first. Remember, you must finish your homework before you play, okay?"
"Yes, yes! Xiaoman will listen to Brother Jiang Xia!"
"Good girl~ Come here, let your brother give you a kiss."
As Jiang Xia spoke, she pouted and slowly leaned her face closer. Lin Yanwan suddenly walked over, snatched her sister away, and turned to look at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
"Uh... Xiaoman is so cute, I just want to..."
"No, only I can kiss my sister." She snorted softly, refusing decisively.
Jiang Xia was suddenly dumbfounded. Good heavens, is she really that jealous?
Although she is my sister-in-law and the relationship is sensitive, she is only 6 years old this year and is still a child!
"Waaah, sister is so mean! Why won't Xiaoman kiss me? I know, sister definitely wants to kiss Brother Jiang Xia all by herself!"
After saying that, she suddenly stretched her neck and gave Jiang Xia a hard kiss on the face.
