Move over, Marvel—China’s animation scene is stealing the spotlight! 🚀 Ne Zha 2, the fiery sequel to China’s record-breaking animated franchise, has raked in over 13 billion yuan ($1.8 billion) at the box office as of February 21, cementing its status as a cultural juggernaut. 🎬💰
Sherwood Xue, CEO of Black Flame Interactive (the studio behind the phenomenon), sat down with CGTN to spill the tea ☕ on what makes Chinese animation pop. ‘Our stories dig deep into China’s rich mythology but speak a universal language,’ he said, highlighting the blend of high-tech CGI and timeless themes that’s winning over global audiences.
Xue also dropped gems 💎 for aspiring animators: ‘Forget chasing trends—focus on emotional truth. That’s how you create worlds that resonate across borders.’ 🌍 With streaming platforms hungry for fresh content, could this be China’s ‘animation diplomacy’ moment? 🔥
