The movie's impressive performance has broken the previous record for the fastest domestic film to reach the 4 billion yuan milestone, set by "Detective Chinatown 3" in 2021. The film's success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including its engaging storyline, stunning visuals, and the cultural significance of the Ne Zha character. The movie's ability to resonate with audiences of all ages has been a key driver of its box office performance, with fans flocking to theaters to experience the magic of this beloved Chinese legend. The character design of the film played a crucial role in its success, with Shen Wei, the character designer, sharing the fascinating story behind the design of the film's characters, including the four dragon kings, which were inspired by the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" and references to the dragon patterns found in the Forbidden City.

As "Ne Zha 2" continues to dominate the box office, it has also surpassed the lifetime earnings of other notable films, including "The Wandering Earth 2" and "The Battle at Lake Changjin II". This achievement has propelled the movie into the top ten highest-grossing films in Chinese cinematic history, a testament to the enduring appeal of the Ne Zha franchise. With a total box office revenue exceeding 41 billion yuan, "Ne Zha 2" has become the fastest film to reach the 40 billion yuan milestone in Chinese box office history. The film's box office sales surged past 4.1 billion yuan in just six days, surpassing the record set by "Detective Chinatown 3" in 2021, and its current box office total exceeding that of "The Wandering Earth 2" (4.043 billion yuan) and "The Battle at Lake Changjin II" (4.067 billion yuan).

The success of "Ne Zha 2" has brought hope to the domestic film industry, with its box office breaking 40 billion yuan in just six days. This phenomenon has not only shattered previous records but has also sparked a national conversation about the potential of Chinese animation. The film's meticulous design and world-building have resonated with audiences, who are eager to see more high-quality domestic productions. In contrast, another highly anticipated film, "The Hero," also known as "射雕英雄传:侠之大者," has received a lukewarm response, with a low rating of 5.5 on Douban, a popular Chinese social media platform. Despite its low rating, the film's fans have come to its defense, arguing that the rating is unfair and that the film's quality is much higher than what the rating suggests.

【#敖光敖闰设计参考故宫龙图案#】#敖闰夸张指甲是她进攻利刃#饺子执导的动画电影《哪吒之魔童闹海》大年初一公映后,票房和口碑势如破竹,并有望最终超越《长津湖》57.75亿元的票房,成为中国影史新的票房冠军。相比《哪吒之魔童降世》,《哪吒2》不但在特效和世界观的设定上有了飞跃,片中的角色数量也增加了不少,尤其是四大龙王的亮相,更是让人眼前一亮。该片角色设计申威接受北京日报客户端记者专访,透露了很多不为人知的幕后制作故事。《哪吒1》的彩蛋中,观众已经见识了四大龙王的龙形。到了《哪吒2》中,他们的人形也开始现身。申威说,在设计四大龙王的形象时,首先要考虑的是他们是一个群体,既有作为龙族的统一性,又有各自的特点。因此,申威用颜色来区分他们,他从“金木水火土”中汲取灵感,赋予角色特点。然后,根据每个龙王的不同特点,在体型上进行设计,“有的龙身体粗壮一些,而女龙王敖闰就纤细一些。”申威透露,自己先设计出龙形,然后再根据他们的特点再推导出人形。“有些龙王比较粗壮,适合担任战士;有些比较纤细,适合女性角色。”虽然国内外影视作品中有关龙的形象很多,但毕竟现实中并不存在。申威说,龙是中华民族特别喜爱和神往的充满吉祥隐喻的远古神兽,“首先我们要确保设计的是一条中国的龙。”设计组查阅了大量传统龙的纹样,包括一些雕塑,从上古龙的造型到近代明清的造型,“甚至故宫里出现的龙的图样,我们都参考过。“在传统的基础上,我们也要加进去新的元素,让它变得更有新意,也让观众耳目一新。”此外,中国传统的龙的纹样,大多比较扁平,而《哪吒》电影中出现的龙却是立体真实的。为了让片中的龙看起来更加鲜活,申威和设计组的同事们还会将现实中的一些生物如恐龙和蜥蜴等的结构特征,融入设计中。“比如我们会把蜥蜴的下颌结构融进设计,这样有助于龙在说话时做张嘴闭嘴的动作,看起来更贴近现实。”《哪吒2》中敖丙的父亲敖光变成人形第一次亮相后,赢得很多观众欢呼:“太帅了!”对此,申威解释,“敖光在《哪吒2》中是一个非常重要的角色,我们给他的定位就是一定要帅,而且他跟敖丙的帅必须是同一个范儿的帅,一眼就能看出是一家人。”但同时,敖光和敖丙也要有自己的特点。“我们从两人的色调和面部特点做了区分,比如敖丙的身上是淡蓝色的,而敖光是以白色为主,带有淡淡的青灰色,让人能看出他们父子的血缘关系。”在西海龙王敖闰的设计上,申威和同事们颇下了一番心思。“西海龙王是一个女性角色,自然以美为主,我们给她设计了烟熏妆,衬托出她成熟魅惑的一面。但她又是一个阴暗的反派,所以在色系上她跟正派的暖色系有强烈的反差,我们把她的整体色系压暗,来体现她阴暗的内心。”申威还给敖闰设计了长长的指甲,这既体现了女性的特点,也是她进攻的强大武器。四大龙王中,最有挑战的角色是北海龙王敖顺,“他有点像电脑游戏中的刺客,动作轻盈敏捷,但却很阴险狡诈。”申威说,设计中最难的一点是他全身的盔甲都是由利刃组成,在打斗时,这些利刃会拆解和拼合,“而且他在打斗时还会做出一些反关节甚至是无关节的动作,让观众感到非常炫酷,因此在设计时,都要把铠甲上的利刃如何呈现出来,打斗动作又如何展开,这都要考虑得非常清楚才行。”申威透露,这个角色在设计时自己跟饺子导演揣摩了很久,“我们甚至还到淘宝上找一些类型的服饰,希望带给我们一些灵感。”对于最终的呈现,申威自己很满意,“虽然他在片中不是一个最重要的反派,但他的性格非常有特点,我很喜欢这个角色。”(@北京日报记者王金跃)Post picture
