Move over, Hollywood—China's animation scene just leveled up! 🚀 ‘Ne Zha 2,’ the hotly anticipated sequel to 2019’s breakout hit, has raked in over 2 billion yuan ($276M) in just four days, shattering box office records and proving Chinese animation is a global force.
‘We’re nowhere near the ceiling of what animation can do,’ Executive Producer Chen Changjiang told NewspaperAmigo.com, revealing how the team blended cutting-edge VFX with ancient myths. The film’s hyper-detailed dragon scales and spellbinding fight scenes? All crafted by artists who ‘worked like Ne Zha himself—defying limits.’ 🔥
Chen credits the success to universal storytelling: ‘At its core, it’s about rebellion and redemption—themes that connect from Shanghai to San Francisco.’ 🧧 With fans already comparing it to Spider-Verse for its visual ambition, the sequel could spark a new wave of cross-cultural fandom.
Fun fact: The original ‘Ne Zha’ grossed $726M worldwide, becoming China’s #2 highest-grossing film ever. Now, industry watchers say this sequel might just dethrone its predecessor. 🏆 As Chen puts it: ‘This isn’t a victory lap. It’s a starting line.’
