Chapter 641 Searching the Mountain and Subduing the Demon
April 21, afternoon.
The banquet hall of the Millennium Hotel in Beijing was bustling with activity.
Looking around, in addition to the staff of [Wei Ming Tian Xia] company and the main creators of [Nezha] such as Jiaozi, the banquet hall was filled with the figures of various media reporters.
The celebration banquet for [Nezha] is obviously not simple, its main purpose is to promote the animation company's next movie.
After the celebration banquet began, Gu Wei, as the company's boss and the producer and producer of "Nezha", was the first to take the stage to speak.
It is said that when he first entered the circle, he attended a celebration banquet for a movie. He watched the leader go on stage to speak first and complained about it, thinking that it was all useless clichés and it would be better for them to just eat.
Unexpectedly, time flies, and the boomerang that flew out that year finally hits him, and now he has become the biggest leader in the field.
“.
After 60 days of release, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" achieved good results that delighted everyone.
First of all, I would like to thank Director Jiaozi and the film’s creative team. It is their talent and hard work, day after day, that have brought us such an excellent animation work.
Secondly, I would like to thank all the media friends. It is your publicity that has allowed more audience friends to see the existence of "Nezha", allowing more people to go to the cinema and truly feel the charm of "Nezha".
Finally, I would like to thank all the viewers who watched and supported Nezha.
The [Nezha] team has always adhered to the philosophy of either not doing it or making it a quality product, and the audience's support is our greatest backing for adhering to this philosophy."
After Gu Wei finished his opening speech, the host invited Jiaozi to the stage.
Then the staff pushed over a huge display board with Nezha's transformed image on it. Below the Fire Spear was a row of large numbers printed, 48 followed by eight zeros.
But there are two empty seats in the middle.
Gu Wei and Jiaozi took the pens from the staff and worked together to fill in the two missing zeros in the middle.
Reporters in the audience used their cameras to record this scene.
The ceremony ended and it was time for media interaction.
The reporters present asked questions to Gu Wei and Jiaozi regarding Nezha.
"During the promotional period for the film, you mentioned in an interview that the protagonist of your next animated film would be Yang Jian. Has production on this film started yet?"
After some interactive questions, the reporter from NetEase Entertainment asked Gu Wei.
Gu Wei smiled.
“That’s actually what I wanted to say today.”
After he finished speaking, he gestured and a staff member immediately pushed up a huge drawing board over three meters high covered with a red cloth.
The drawing board was in the center of the stage. Gu Wei reached out and pulled, and the red cloth fell off, revealing a huge movie poster.
A tall figure appeared, wearing a black fire dragon and phoenix helmet, golden scale armor, a purple dragon belt around his waist, and black Buyun boots. Although it was only his back, he had an indescribable temperament.
The man holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword and with a thin-waisted white dog at his feet is obviously Erlang Shen Zhenjun - Yang Jian!
There are several big words written on the side of the character from top to bottom: [Yang Jian Searches the Mountains and Conquers Demons]!
Although he was planning to promote the film, Gu Wei didn't want to reveal the characters in the animation so early, so he asked someone to show their backs to whet everyone's appetite.
"[Yang Jian: The Mountain Search and Conquering Demons] will be the name of the Jiaozi team's next animated film. The script has been completed and everything is just getting started.
However, I can reveal one thing to you all: our favorite "Nezha" will also make a cameo appearance in "Searching for the Mountain and Subduing the Demons", and I hope everyone will enjoy it."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, the media in the venue started to discuss.
"Can you tell us a little bit about the general content of [Yang Jian]?"
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
“Everyone will know when the movie is released.”
The celebration banquet for [Nezha] ended, but [Yang Jian] became popular.
The media present reported on the new animated film of Jiaozi team. For them, the celebration party of the movie was actually a small matter, but the "Yang Jian" which had already started production was big news.
This is also the real purpose of [Weiming the World] holding this celebration banquet.
Netizens are also talking about it. "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" has a box office of 4.8 billion yuan and has an extraordinary influence.
Now that the new movie "Yang Jian: The Legend of Nezha" has started production, all fans of "Nezha" are looking forward to it.
[The wonderful Taoist name of Qingyuan is Zhenjun, and the holy name of Guanjiangkou is Erlang!]
I've always felt that Yang Jian's life experience and personal charm are much greater than Nezha's. I really want to know what kind of wonderful story the Jiaozi team will bring to everyone.
[Sou Shan Jiang Mo, just hearing the name, I know this cartoon is going to be about battles. I love hot-blooded anime the most, looking forward to it +1!]
Gu Wei said Nezha will also appear in "Yang Jian," so this movie must be "Nezha 2," right?
[Probably not. It seems Nezha only makes a cameo appearance, a bit like in Marvel superhero movies, where in a superhero's solo movie, other heroes always make cameo appearances for a few minutes.]
Wow, it feels like this animated universe is getting bigger and bigger. "Nezha" takes place in Chentangguan, and "Yang Jian" will definitely be set in another place. It feels like the world is being unveiled bit by bit.
[Director Jiaozi, don't forget our little white dragon "Ao Bing"! I hope he can also appear.]
Actually, "Shen Gongbao" is not bad either, and he could continue to be the villain in "Yang Jian." However, since it's about "searching the mountains and conquering demons," "Shen Gongbao" isn't quite qualified to be a demon. He's still quite interesting!

"The early preparations for [Manslaughter] have been basically completed, and the actors have been confirmed.
In addition to the male and female protagonists Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo, the second female and male roles are Chen Chong and Zhang Songwen, a teacher from the company.
Director Wen Muye has already flown to Thailand to select a location.
After the filming location is decided, the crew can go there and officially start filming."
After the celebration banquet, Gu Wei returned to the company and Yang Liwen reported to him some recent affairs of the company.
Gu Wei nodded.
"I'm confident in Director Wen's work. From the actors to the crew, they're all veterans of 'Dying to Survive', so there won't be any problems."
"The script for the web series [Detective Chinatown] that we're collaborating on with iQiyi has been finalized, and iQiyi recommended director Kevin Ke for the director position.
The crew is currently in the preparation and casting stage
According to the current script of the web drama version of Detective Chinatown, you and Mr. Wang Baoqiang will be required to guest star in a few scenes during filming."
"That's no problem. Have you communicated with Baoqiang?"
"It's already been decided. Teacher Wang Baoqiang agreed very readily."
Speaking of this, Yang Liwen thought of something.
"Mr. Gu, a young director named Cui Rui came to the company yesterday and said he knew you and wanted to join the company.
Because you are coming back today, I didn't tell you in advance."
"Cui Rui?"
Gu Wei thought about it and realized that this was the person director Susan brought when filming "Detective Chinatown 2".
A very talented new director who is studying in the directing department at the University of Southern California.
He later remembered that the director of "Gone Girl" seemed to have the same name, but he was not sure if they were the same person.
At that time, he also promised the other party that if she planned to return to China after graduation, she could come to him.
"Where are the others?"
"I left my contact information and told him I would contact him after I communicated with you."
"Ask him to see me tomorrow." After saying that, Gu Wei realized that his schedule was to leave tomorrow morning.
"I know this person. When we were filming Detective Chinatown 2, he was brought in by the local American assistant director. He is a very talented new director.
My time may not be convenient.
So, you sign him to your company first. Isn't the web drama "Detective Chinatown" currently in development? After signing the contract, put him on that crew as an assistant director to train him."
"I understand, Mr. Gu!" Yang Liwen nodded.
