According to data from Maoyan Professional Edition, "Nezha" has been released for 5 days, with a total box office of over 2.6 billion yuan and over 50 million moviegoers, ranking first in the Spring Festival period, far ahead of "Detective Chinatown 1900" and "Fengshen II: The Battle of Xiqi".

According to data from Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of 20:40 on February 1, the box office of the film "Nezha: The Devil Child Conquers the Dragon King" exceeded 700 million yuan on that day, becoming the second film after "Detective Chinatown 3" to exceed 700 million yuan in a single-day box office.

Currently, the film has a Douban score of 8.6 points. The film "Fengshen II: War in Xiqi", which was released at the same time, only scored 6.3 points.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sequel to the Chinese animation "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" "Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King" was officially released. With the explosion of the new film, director Jiaozi has once again attracted attention.

Public information shows that Jiaozi graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in pharmacy. He began to teach himself 3D animation in his junior year and persisted on this path. When he switched to 3D animation, Jiaozi spent more than three years staying at home to polish his own animated short film.

In the end, his work "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" became an instant hit and won more than 30 professional awards at home and abroad.

Looking back on the time when he was living off his parents, Jiaozi said that when he was preparing to teach himself 3D animation, his mother was very tolerant of him. "Even from my perspective, I am a parent, and I think it is difficult for me to do this."

Talking about the production process of "Nezha 2", Jiaozi said: "I originally had a range in mind, maybe three years, but later on, I couldn't stop. The audience is looking forward to "Nezha 2" so much, and the expectations are very high. Opportunities cannot be wasted, and we must do our best to achieve the best results."

Because of this, Jiaozi has been under tremendous pressure during the production of Nezha 2. Looking back on that period, Jiaozi admits that a lot of potential was forced out. "There is a saying that goes, 'What is the most important thing to do when you are out there? The first thing is to get out.' After you get to this point, you will always find a way to solve the problem. With so many people together, we can always get things done."

After the production of "Nezha 2" was completed, Jiaozi joked that he had dug a new "pit" for "Nezha 3", but he liked the feeling of pursuing perfection.

“Every work should be created as if it were your last, and you should not leave yourself any possibility for breakthroughs. After you have climbed over this mountain, you will find that it is just so-so, and everyone’s abilities have improved, so you can challenge new limits in the next work.”
