The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb. 18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie industry can be, according to China Daily.
Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. The movie has a huge challenge for any single studio. Instead of one company, 138 Chinese animation studios and over 4,000 professionals worked together to create the film, including both well-known giants and smaller studios, Beijing Daily reported.
Red Whale Studios from Suzhou worked on a quarter of the production of Ne Zha 2, making it the biggest company involved in making the movie. The beautiful scenes in the movie, like fish swimming in the waves, were created by 160 people who worked day and night for 26 months, according to the official WeChat account of the Suzhou government.
Director Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards. “Even top studios from international teams may use less experienced employees,” he told CCTV. Instead, he decided to let domestic teams refine the effects, ensuring the project was in expert hands.
One standout example is the work with Fantawild Animation, a film company based in Shenzhen. They were responsible for creating the attractive waterfall in the forest fight scene. Waterfalls are massive in size and have complex and ever-changing flow patterns. To make the waterfall look realistic, the team used advanced physics simulation (模拟) techniques with 50 high-performance workstations to do the necessary processing. The team worked hard to ensure that the final effect was grand and consistent with the style of the waterfalls.
In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also, 138 Chinese animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry.
