The animated film "Ne Zha: The Demonic Children of the Sea" (hereinafter referred to as "Ne Zha 2") was released in Hong Kong on the 22nd. Many Hong Kong citizens expressed after watching the film that it has reached new heights of domestic animation in terms of special effects, plot, and cultural expression. Data shows that on the first day of its release, the movie had over 500 screenings in Hong Kong, with about 200 screenings showing over half attendance and some shows showing full screenings. Among them, on the first day of screening, the Emperor's Cinema and Broadway Cinema had 9 and 12 theaters respectively showing the film. The pre-sale situation of each theater was good, and most theaters sold more than half of the seats in the morning theater. The reporter learned from the Causeway Bay Film and Art Theatre that there were many "second brush" and "third brush" viewers among the citizens who watched the movie that day. When asked which plot left the deepest impression on some viewers, some expressed being moved by the scene of "Mother Yin embracing Nezha", while others said they were inspired by the passion of "Nezha breaking through the 'Tianyuan Ding'"... In addition, several shopping malls in Hong Kong have also launched the "treat and watch Nezha 2 first" activity, where customers can redeem two movie tickets for Nezha 2 by spending a specified amount in the mall on a designated date. It's really great to be released in Hong Kong. You can watch this popular 'national animation' right at your doorstep Mr. Xu, a Hong Kong citizen, said that the film reinterprets traditional Chinese mythology through modern animation technology, showcasing a rich spiritual core that is impressive. Hong Kong Legislative Council member and President of the Hong Kong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Ma Fung Kwok, said that the success of the "Ne Zha" film series proves the rapid development of mainland film production. The Hong Kong industry should actively communicate and cooperate with the mainland, and work together to tell the story of China well. The theme of 'resisting fate' in the movie deeply touched my heart. Nezha's struggle with fate is not only a story of his personal growth, but also a source of encouragement for those who never give up in real life Hong Kong youth Hu Yuting said that such high-quality production not only makes movies look better, but also gives people more confidence in domestic animation. She looks forward to more excellent domestic films being screened in Hong Kong. It is reported that "Ne Zha 2" is directed by Jiao Zi and is a continuation of the original cast of the 2019 film "Ne Zha: The Birth of the Demon Child". Statistics show that as of February 22, the cumulative box office (including pre-sales) of "Ne Zha 2" has exceeded 13 billion yuan, ranking 8th on the global box office chart in film history.
