"Nezha's Devil Boy Comes into the World" was first released, everyone felt that the total box office could exceed 2.5 billion is the limit, and now the total box office exceeds 3 billion has become a solid fact. On August 7th, with the help of the "Chinese Valentine's Day", the box office of "Nezha: Devil Child Comes to the World" once again surpassed 200 million in a single day, with an estimated total box office of 4.743 billion.
Just as the director Jiaozi said, there was nothing else to do in "Nezha", it was just a deadlock. It is because the entire production team has the spirit of "dead smash" that "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World" will have today's success.
​​There is a famous saying in the scientific community: "Stand on the shoulders of giants and move forward". This sentence is also applicable in the film industry. In the movie "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", we have seen many new ideas and advancements, as well as many tribute elements. Obtaining extensive inspiration from different forms of art works is also the way to success for "Ne Zha".
What are the tribute elements in "Nezha"? I believe everyone can see that Ao Bing’s "lollipop" sledgehammer weapon is a tribute to the 1979 animated movie "Nezha Nao the Sea" and "Pointing Jiangshan Pen" to pay tribute to "Ma Liang, a magical pen". Four people frozen into ice balls. Jumping in the mountains and rivers is a tribute to the "three-dimensional pinball". In addition, there are a lot of "stems" that pay tribute to Zhou Xingchi. It can be seen that the director Jiaozi is a die-hard fan of "Xing Ye".
These are relatively easy to see. What many viewers didn't see was that the director Dumpling paid tribute to the director James Cameron of "Avatar" and "Titanic" in "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".
, as the director and screenwriter of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", Dumpling likes a lot of animation, film and television works in private. According to himself, he likes the whole series of Shanghai Art Film Studio, the whole series of Hayao Miyazaki, the whole series of Oshii Mamoru, the whole series of Otomo Kyoyo, the whole series of Pixar, the whole series of Disney, the whole series of Laogang movies, the whole series of Cameron Series, Spielberg's full range.
It can be seen that the dumpling director is also a big fan of the talented director James Cameron. So, in "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", which shot did it pay tribute to Cameron?
Dumpling said that when Nezha came as a "magic pill", he squatted and stood up in a small pit, where he paid tribute to Cameron.
It is understood that this shot is a tribute to Cameron's 1991 film "Terminator 2" "T800" robot appearance. In "Terminator 2", when the robot played by Schwarzenegger appeared, a black lightning ball appeared first, and then the lightning ball split, and the robot squatted halfway in a small pit on the ground and then stood up.
In "The Devil Boy of Nezha", when Nezha came as a "magic pill", a red flame ball came out first, and then Nezha stood up from the ground where the ball hit the pit.
If you pay attention to it, you can hear the five-member Chinese band of Congratulations playing the theme of "Terminator" in folk music. It can be said that it is not only the way of appearance, but also the background music.
However, because "Terminator 2" is relatively old, only a very small part of the audience saw that the scene of "Magic Maru" is actually paying tribute to Cameron. Most viewers could not tell.
