I know I have been talking about this movie since forever but I just can’t stop loving this animated movie, especially after my research paper about it. The amount of work did to this movie is insane and mind-blowing. My major is animation, pathing towards 3D productions. The movie is a 3D CGI animation so it caught my heart even more. My future of career is to be involved in either animation/movie or game industry, mainly wanted to work in Asia so seeing this proof of evolution of Chinese creative media is a big encouragement to move on on my path !

Jiaozi is the director of the movie, also responsible for writing, editing the plot, art director, props and environment, character lead designer, action model. In the interview of about the production, Jiaozi mentioned too much that the video has to skip through. Basically he wanted to say that he is doing 80% of the work I would say, ENLIGHT MEDIA and other fifthteen companies that he found were just doing a tiny part of help to assist Jiaozi through the production.

The movie took them three years to complete yet the script of the story has already taken 2 years to edit and polish. This project was the first animated movie that ENLIGHT MEDIA and Jiaozi himself ever did. With very limited experience, it was a really struggling process for them but also a very valuable experience.

I hope for the best to Chinese creative media. A sequel of Nezha is confirmed by the director since the story is not ended, the movie just showed the beginning of legend of Nezha. There are much more to be told about the story of Investiture of the Gods, one of my favourite mythology of China.
