Chapter 520

During that period.

Re Ba also took a group photo of the two of them.

But, Cameron's way of taking photos is still rather old-fashioned.

Threw a 'yeah'!

"Perfect!"

After taking the photo, Re Ba laughed and said.

Cameron also didn't forget to have Re Ba send him one, saying it was to keep as a memento.

After the meal, the two of them again took Cameron around to see the night scenery of Mo Du.

Last time Cameron and Steven Spielberg came to attend the premiere of 'Batman: The Dark Knight', they both flew back the next day.

They still haven't properly toured this international metropolis.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Online.

More than ten minutes ago, Re Ba posted a Weibo update.

That's right, it's the group photo of Lin Mo and Cameron.

As soon as this photo was posted, it instantly hit the hot search list.

Title: "Dinner of the Two Box Office Legends~!"

The comment section exploded.

"Holy cow! If these two collaborated, the budget would have to aim for 1 billion US dollars!"

"!"

"Even Cameron struck a 'yeah' pose; this photo will make me laugh for a year!"

"Huh? Cameron has come to Huaguo? Is Avatar 2 starting up?"

"Should we also call Steven Spielberg? If the three of you collaborated on a movie, even if it's a flop, I'd still watch it!"

"I wonder what Cameron's mood is when seeing Director Lin, after Avatar's box office was surpassed (joking)!"

"Same as upstairs!"

"+1"

"+!"

Even.

At the first moment, Zhangjiajie's official Weibo also tagged Re Ba and Lin Mo, then posted a photo.

This is a group photo of Cameron taken at Zhangjiajie over ten years ago.

Left over from when they were filming Avatar.

In the following days.

Lin Mo took Cameron around Mo Du.

He wasn't in a hurry at all; this time he came to Huaguo specifically to scout locations, and the main filming sites aren't here.

He has a professional team handling things, so why rush?

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May.

Morning Light held the release announcement for Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth!

Once this news came out.

It left netizens baffled.

An animated film? A press conference? What the heck?

And moreover...

What's even more shocking is that an animated film actually got an investment of 300 million.

Holy cow!

"????"

"Investing 300 million to make an animated film?"

"Huh? I don't get it—how did Morning Light end up making an animated film?"

"As far as I know, Morning Light seems to have set up an animation department last year, so this should be their first animated film."

"Huh? An animated film?"

"How did they end up making this?"

"What's going on?!"

Netizens were all completely confused.

Many media outlets also questioned whether investing 300 million in an animated film was worthwhile!

And soon after.

Morning Light Media's official Weibo and Douyin account released the trailer for Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth.

Chen Yang.

He is one of those who doubted Morning Light's venture into animation.

Animated film...

Aren't those just for kids to watch?

He's an adult—how could he possibly go watch it?

Well, he was slacking off at work, Chen Yang had just opened Douyin intending to scroll a bit, and as he scrolled, he came across the new video posted by Morning Light Media.

Title: 'Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth' trailer released with a bang!

Although, he doesn't like watching animated films, but..

Everyone's curious, you know.

A three-hundred-million-yuan investment animated film—what level is it really?

Black screen, a low, resonant male voice sounded:

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth nurtures a primordial pearl..."

Suddenly——

Boom!!!

The screen shattered, flames swept across the entire image, a giant egg wreathed in flames and thunder plummeted from the Nine Heavens!

The first shot of the trailer is the Devil Boy's Birth.

Dark clouds pressed down, the citizens of Chen Tang Guan looked up in terror, a crimson meteor tore through the heavens, and fell straight onto the Li Manor.

A baby's small hand reached out from the flames, clenching tightly.

"I'm a little demon, carefree and free——"

Next, the scene shifted.

The visual effects were maxed out, Nezha's three heads and six arms awakened.

Nezha was bound by the Heavenly Thunder Curse, howling in pain.

The special effects showed bone deformation, skin cracking inch by inch, revealing magma-like blood vessels underneath.

"Ah!!!"

With a roar, four flame arms burst from his back with a 'Bang'.

Six arms formed seals simultaneously, and a Taiji Formation with a diameter of one kilometer rose beneath his feet.

"Holy shit!"

Chen Yang saw this and immediately blurted out a profanity.

These special effects, this scene...

You're telling me this is an animated film?

At the neighboring workstation, a coworker who was also slacking off curiously asked: "What are you looking at?"

"It's the trailer for Morning Light Media's animated film—those effects are fucking awesome!"

"Huh? The trailer's out? I'll go check it out!"

Although.

Online, nobody was particularly optimistic about Morning Light's production of Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth.

But upon hearing the trailer had dropped, they still wanted to check it out.

After all, the saying "Morning Light's output is always top‑notch" carries a lot of weight.

So they wanted to see just what level Morning Light's animation was at!

At the end of the trailer.

It dropped the ultimate Easter egg.

The video suddenly went black, leaving only Nezha's one burning eye.

"My fate is mine—"

Reflected in the pupil was the full‑scale demonic form of Nezha:

Blue face, fanged!

Ancient runes coiled around his body!

Twelve blazing banners appeared behind him!

"Not by heaven!!!"

After watching the trailer, Chen Yang was so stunned he couldn't speak.

The effects, the fight scenes—absolutely top‑tier.

All he wanted to say was, "Dogs won't watch it, I will!!!"

Countless netizens were just like Chen Yang.

Before watching, they dismissed it—just a cartoon, something for kids.

After watching...

Holy shit, that's awesome!

The comment section for Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth trailer turned into a massive "I told you so" scene.

"Is this really domestic animation? The effects are insane!"

"This is the imagination a mythic film should have!"

"Awesome!!!"

"Before clicking: even dogs wouldn't watch a cartoon; after clicking: dogs won't watch, I will!"

"These effects don't just wipe the floor with Hollywood's animated movies?"

"It's not just Chinese film that's rising—Chinese animation is rising too!"

"......"
