During this year's Spring Festival, the Chinese animated film "Ne Zha: The Demon Boy Roars in the Sea" topped the box office chart in Chinese film history, and the demon boy "Ne Zha" rushed out of the country on a steamwheel. Last weekend, "Ne Zha 2" held its North American premiere and will be fully released in North American cinemas on the 14th local time. Although it has not yet been officially released, 'Ne Zha 2' has sparked a wave of movie watching frenzy in the United States. The film distributor revealed that the pre-sale of "Ne Zha 2" is booming, with a seat occupancy rate of over 90%, and tickets are hard to come by. On the 8th local time, "Ne Zha 2" held its North American premiere at the TCL China Theatre in Los Angeles, attracting film professionals and a large number of fans from both China and the United States. Audience Sena Johnson: My favorite protagonist Nezha is because he never gives up, he is always positive, ambitious, hardworking, and humorous. Audience member Kai Johnson: I like the costumes of the characters and the music in the movie, and I particularly like the dragon in it. Audience: Great, such a beautiful movie. This is the first Chinese animated movie I have ever watched. I really love it. The characters in it are very cute. The promotional video for Nezha 2 also made its way onto the big screen in Times Square, New York. In several busy subway stations in New York, posters of "Nezha 2" have appeared on electronic screens. Nezha has become a declaration of the strength of Chinese culture going global, earning praise from industry insiders. George Shanjom, Chairman of the Asian International Film Festival: I have been following this series of movies since 'Ne Zha: The Birth of the Demon Child' (Ne Zha 1), and I like 'Ne Zha 2'. I think it's quite interesting. I'm not very good at animated movies, but these animated characters are really great. Hollywood filmmaker Adam Leipzig: The success of this film is attributed to China's growing influence in the global film industry. This is not only reflected in the number of ticket purchases and box office, but also in the quality of local production and the creativity of Chinese film artists. Their level is no less than anyone else's. According to the online ticketing seat maps of multiple cinemas in the United States, the popular screenings of "Ne Zha 2" on the day of its early release and official release have almost sold out. The situation of difficult to obtain votes also occurred in Canada. On the 10th local time, "Ne Zha 2" premiered in Toronto, Canada. At the premiere, people lined up in long lines to enter, and the theater was also fully booked. On the cinema booking website, there are very few tickets left for the official release dates of various cinemas in the Greater Toronto Area. Chinese Consul General in Toronto, Luo Weidong: If such a film comes overseas, our Chinese spirit and technology will definitely conquer overseas audiences. Several Chinese New Year films have received widespread attention overseas, not only the animated film "Ne Zha: The Demonic Children Roar in the Sea", but also many other Chinese New Year films have landed overseas and received widespread attention. During the Spring Festival, "Fengshen Part II: War in Xiqi" premiered in South Africa. Head Office reporter Zhao Yinan: I am now in Johannesburg, South Africa, and Chinese Spring Festival films are increasingly being broadcast overseas. The latest box office data from South Africa shows that the Chinese film "Fengshen Part II: War in the Western Qi" has topped the list of foreign language films in South Africa. At the same time, more and more South African audiences are entering cinemas to learn about traditional Chinese culture and epic mythological charm. Audience Nicholas: I think this movie is a great way to learn about Chinese culture and mythology. It has a wonderful story, excellent action scenes, and very beautiful visuals. If the people of South Africa want to learn more about China, they will watch movies like this and start reading more related content. Audience member Owen Pachani: I really like this movie. I love their way of acting and the fusion of modern special effects and Chinese culture. The plot is really exciting. Although I haven't watched the first part, I can understand it and keep up with the pace of the story. During the Spring Festival, "Fengshen Part II: War in the Western Qi" was also released in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. In the UK, many Chinese and foreign audiences came to attend the premiere of this film. Audience Paul: This movie left a deep impression on me, showcasing various aspects of Chinese culture. I am deeply impressed by the way this film was filmed. Two other Chinese New Year films, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest of Heroes" and "Detective Chinatown 1900," were also released in cinemas in various cities in Belgium. In addition, other European countries such as Germany, Norway, and Luxembourg have also released Chinese New Year films. (New Society)
