"Nezha" "rushes out" the country on the wind and hot wheels

On March 14, the Chinese animated film "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" premiered in Tokyo, Japan, and began to be released in more than 30 theaters nationwide in Japan on the same day. The production level of the film and the Chinese cultural connotation it displays have aroused praise from the audience. The movie "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" will be released in cinemas across Japan in the form of Chinese dubbing and English subtitles. Starting from April 4, the Japanese subtitle version will begin.

At the premiere on the 14th, a Japanese audience said that although they cannot fully understand the language, the film's exquisite special effects production, vivid audio-visual expression, compact rhythm and rich Chinese cultural elements transcend the differences between language and culture, leaving a deep impression on them. The Japanese audience interviewed said that the picture was very exquisite, the story content was fascinating from the beginning, and the video ended in a blink of an eye. He also had some expectations for the quality of Chinese films, and after watching them, he felt that they exceeded his expectations. It was the first time I watched a Chinese animated movie, and this level of work was very surprising.

Industry insiders said that the film clearly expresses love, side-by-side, and family affection, which are some of the things that are lacking in society now, using the latest technology to modern people in traditional Chinese stories.

The movie "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" allows Japanese audiences to understand and appreciate Chinese culture, but also gives Chinese and overseas Chinese in Japan a chance to feast their eyes. According to the distributor of the video in Japan, nearly half of the more than 30 episodes released in various parts of Japan on the 14th were full. Several cinema websites show that the pre-sale of "Nezha 2" movie tickets is in good condition, and almost all the tickets in Tokyo and other places have been sold out this weekend.
