CCTV News: As of 12:00 on February 3, the total box office of the 2025 Spring Festival movie has exceeded 7.6 billion, setting a new high. This year's Spring Festival movies are rich in types, and the number of special effects blockbusters is particularly large, leading the movie viewing craze. How to present the "blockbuster texture"? Let’s see the reporter’s visit report.
The animated movie "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" leads the 2025 Spring Festival. According to the data from the Lighthouse Professional Edition, before 12:00 on the 3rd, the total box office of "Nezha 2" exceeded 3.5 billion yuan, setting a cumulative box office record for the Spring Festival cartoons in Chinese film history. Walking out of the screening room, almost every audience was admiring the ultimate movie special effects of "Nezha 2".
The production of "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" can be said to have gathered "the hardest dragon scales of the entire dragon clan": it has gathered more than 100 teams and more than 4,000 staff at home and abroad, and used more than 1900 special effects lenses and more than 10,000 special effects elements to deliver an answer that surpasses the previous work in a comprehensive and sincere way.
In "Nezha 1", due to the technology at that time, large-scale seawater production failed to be realized. However, in "Nezha 2", the plot advancement not only requires Nezha to "go into the sea", but also to "open the sea" and "make trouble". The production of sea water has become the key to technological breakthroughs.
As a film that tells classic Chinese mythological stories, "The Second Part of the Gods: War of Xiqi" also shows the beauty of China's excellent traditional culture to the audience in terms of visual presentation through combining it with modern technical means.
There are a large number of special effects blockbusters in the Spring Festival this year, which can be said to be a reflection of the best production level of China's film industry. Each frame of the picture embodies the hard work and innovation of countless behind-the-scenes workers. The audience not only enjoys an unprecedented visual feast, but also feels the profound understanding of traditional culture and the exquisite use of modern technology by Chinese filmmakers.
