Ne Zha 2: Dragonfire’s Light – 中国电影的崛起
🇬🇧 English Version (for Global BETH audience):
BETH – Beijing | July 15, 2025
In 1905, China’s cinematic journey began with the silent film “Dingjun Mountain.” Now, 120 years later, the country celebrates a historic milestone with the animated epic “Ne Zha 2”, which has become the highest-grossing animated film in global history and ranks among the world’s top five films by total revenue.
In a recent letter to eight veteran filmmakers, President Xi Jinping urged the industry to produce more outstanding films that reflect the spirit of the times and embody the aspirations of the people.
Where Myth Meets Machine
Ne Zha 2’s stunning visuals — including hyper-realistic lava flows, particle explosions, and scenes with up to 200 million animated characters — were powered by 138 Chinese animation studios in a national cinematic symphony.
AI in the Director’s Chair
Films like The Wandering Earth 2 and Creation of the Gods pushed boundaries with AI-driven design, 3D printing, and motion-capture technology.
More Than Commerce – A Cultural Surge
Ellen Eliasoph, Oscar jury member and former Hollywood exec in China, called it:
“A cultural goldmine of untapped IP.”
Box Office Boom
By July 8, 2025, China’s total box office revenue had surpassed $4.18 billion, 28 days ahead of the previous year. The country hosted over 30 international film festivals in 2024 alone and screened 93 foreign films locally.
As actor Chen Daoming noted:
“Xi’s message outlines a roadmap for China’s cultural and visual renaissance.”
