~7 min read 1,224 words

Last year.

An animated film overturned public perception, including that of industry insiders.

That's right, it's the animated film Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth.

Yang Yu, also known as Director Jiaozi.

He rose to fame thanks to Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth.

He truly became famous overnight.

As the sequel to Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth, Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil has been under close scrutiny since its inception.

Morning Light naturally knew the commercial potential of this animated film, thus sparing no effort in promotion, covering both online and offline, striving to make the two characters 'Nezha' synonymous with summer 2025.

Now Morning Light is a behemoth.

Online promotion, various bombardments on social media.

Morning Light joined Douyin, KS, Bilibili and other short-video platforms, and this promotion spread like a virus.

As soon as the trailer was released, it immediately topped the major hot-search lists.

"Nezha 2 is coming!"

"The first part grossed over 6 billion, this second part must break 10 billion!"

"Let the world see how awesome our Huaguo animation is!!!"

"The pinnacle of animated films must be Director Lin's Robots!"

"Besides, this trailer is really attractive!"

"Morning Light produces, it must be excellent, must support!"

「...... 」 -> "........" No named.

Netizens discussed heatedly.

Zhang Xiaoyu.

An ordinary college student.

Having just finished the afternoon elective, Zhang Xiaoyu hugged two thick professional books and pushed open the door, panting.

"You guys guess how long the teacher delayed class today? A full twenty minutes! I......"

Before she finished speaking, she noticed three roommates crowded around a laptop, chattering about something, completely unaware she had returned.

"This scene is too explosive! Ao Bing's new look makes me cry!"

"Look at this water dragon effect, it's much more refined than the first part!"

"Morning Light really went all out this time......"

Zhang Xiaoyu tossed the books onto the table, curiously moving over: "What are you watching? So engrossed?"

"Goodness, Xiaoyu! You actually don't know?" Roommate Li Ting turned her head, face full of disbelief, "The trailer for Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil has come out!"

"What?!" Zhang Xiaoyu instantly widened her eyes, voice raised eight degrees, "When did this happen?"

"Just this afternoon, now the whole net is exploding!" Another roommate Wang Xue said excitedly, "Morning Light's promotion this time is too fierce, I can see three or four forwards of the trailer just scrolling my friends circle."

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't have time to say more, quickly pulled out her phone.

As a die-hard fan of Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth, even her phone case is custom-made with a Nezha pattern.

She trembled with her fingers opening Douyin, about to search——

"Wow!"

As the phone screen lit up, the first auto-playing video was the official trailer of Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil!

On the cover, Nezha steps on the Wind Fire Wheel, weaving through the waves, behind him is the vaguely visible Dragon Palace.

"This big data is really..." Zhang Xiaoyu muttered to herself, her finger unconsciously clicked full-screen playback.

As the familiar music played, her breath unconsciously held; the trailer's opening shows Nezha confronting Ao Bing on the shore of the East Sea, the wave effects so realistic they seem about to burst out of the screen.

"My fate is mine——"

"Not up to heaven!"

When this classic line sounded again, Zhang Xiaoyu was completely captivated, afraid to miss any shot.

The newly added dragon clan role, the upgraded Heaven-Earth Circle effect, Nezha's more mature and resolute gaze...

Every frame made her heart race.

At the end of the trailer, the frame freezes on Nezha and Ao Bing standing back-to-back, lightning and thunder flashing between sea and sky, a line of large characters slowly appearing: "June 1, the devil child returns!"

"Ahhh!" Zhang Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but scream, startling her roommates, "This is too handsome! I must go see the premiere!"

She rolled excitedly on the bed, then suddenly thought of something, sat up abruptly: "Wait, what date is today?"

"May 10." Li Ting answered.

"Twenty-one days left..." Zhang Xiaoyu wailed, flopping back onto the bed, "This is too long!"

She turned over, impatiently opened the comment section, fingers flying as she typed: "From waiting since the first film until now, finally here! Every second of the trailer is wallpaper-level! Morning Light is awesome!"

Meanwhile.

In Central, Xiang Jiang, the filming site of Fast and Furious 3 is bustling.

Dozens of modified sports cars are neatly lined up on the closed road section, staff are debugging filming equipment. A huge green screen surrounds half the block, the special effects team is testing explosive devices.

The distant crowd of onlookers occasionally exclaims; whenever Fan Di Sai Er or Jushi Strongson appears, screams rise and fall.

Lin Mo stood behind the monitor, having just finished watching the car chase scene just filmed.

At that moment, the phone vibrated.

Caller ID: Liu Qin.

"Hey!" Lin Mo walked to a relatively quiet corner to answer the call.

"Boss!" Liu Qin's voice was excited, "The trailer for Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil has gone viral! In the first 12 hours online, total views across the web broke 1 billion, and we occupied three of the top five spots on Weibo's hot search!"

Lin Mo's mouth corners slightly rose: "Are the numbers better than expected?"

"Not just good!" Liu Qin said excitedly, "The playback volume of Douyin-related topics has already exceeded 5 billion, and Bilibili's secondary creation videos exceed 3,000. The most astonishing part is that the overseas version of the trailer on YouTube has also surpassed 20 million views!"

A roar of engines came from afar; Lin Mo had to bring his phone close to his ear: "How are the overseas distribution talks going?"

"Nezha" Part 1, because Jiaozi wasn't well-known back then, so the overseas market wasn't great, but this time is different.

"Distributors in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia are raising their prices for a share." Liu Qin spoke rapidly, "The Dao Guo side is especially proactive; Toho has actively proposed increasing the number of Japanese dubbing sessions."

Lin Mo nodded: "Have Jiaozi keep a close eye on post-production; don't let rushing the schedule affect quality."

"Understood. By the way, Boss, there's something interesting." Liu Qin said with a smile, "Our #My Nezha Memory# topic has already received over 10 million user submissions..."

Just then, Chen Zhong came running over: "Director Lin, the explosives team is ready, do you want..."

Lin Mo raised his hand to signal a wait, then said into the phone: "Let's leave it at that for now; you handle the specifics. I need to go film over here."

Although, the executive director of this film is Chen Zhong, Luo Kai.

But...

The Boss is on the set, so of course any matter must be consulted with the Boss...

In terms of conduct and work, one must be proper and orderly.

Otherwise, how would they improve?

After hanging up, Lin Mo walked back to the set, seeing Fan Di Sai Er discussing the next shot's positioning with the stunt driver; as he approached, he grinned: "Boss, shall we begin?"

Lin Mo looked around, confirmed all departments were ready, picked up the walkie-talkie: "Everyone pay attention, live shooting in three minutes; explosives team, final safety distance check."

Following his command, the entire crew operated like a precise machine.
