Following the global record set as the youngest 'Best Actor' ever, the classic IP Nezha has once again become the focal point of heated discussion at China's 2025 National Two Sessions. The famous actor Donnie Yen revealed his desire to play a live-action version of Nezha but jokingly said he is too old.
Regarding the success of 'Nezha 2', he commented: The key to a movie's success is whether it touches the audience's emotions. People of all ages can find something they love in the film! 'Nezha 2' is a great testament to that!
Donnie Yen mentioned that 'Nezha 2' possesses world-class technical standards and popular content, winning the love of audiences across different age groups. He believes the explosive success of 'Nezha 2' offers inspiration to the film industry, urging Hong Kong filmmakers to reassess story content and market analysis, learning from the success path of 'Nezha 2'.
When asked if he would participate in a live-action version of 'Nezha', Donnie Yen laughed and said he is too old to take part.
Yang Yizhou, a member of the Chinese National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, stated that the cultural connotations carried by the figure of Nezha resonate deeply with all Chinese people; member Ling Junjie pointed out that this classic character plays a positive role in promoting cultural exchanges between young people across the Taiwan Strait.
From the big screen to the political hall, the rebellious yet righteous little Nezha has not only garnered unanimous praise from audiences but has also become a 'public topic' extensively discussed by numerous media and committee members. This level of interest cannot help but attract attention, and this phenomenon is bound to provoke contemplation.
Mighty ancient China, with its brilliant and long-standing culture. Whether it's 'Chang'an: A Thousand Miles of Impressions' or 'Black Myth: Wukong', from Nezha to the Monkey King, from Laozi and Zhuangzi to Li Bai and Du Fu, their strong vitality has transcended time and space, continuously connecting every descendant of the Hua Xia lineage. From this perspective, this time, the phenomenally successful hit is 'fiery' in its animation, 'praised' in its culture, and 'blended' in its Chinese essence. Because the roots of culture are forever the most profound national imprints, always the most unique and beautiful scenery, always the indelible part of the world's human heart.
