Chapter 618: Prejudices in the Human Heart Are a Mountain!
The theater lights came on, and the subtitles began to roll.
The audience members were each still immersed in the plot of Nezha 2, not yet snapping out of it.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Shen Gongbao's final look was amazing!"
The whole theater instantly came alive.
"Brother Bao is really damn pitiful!"
"He saved people and didn't even get a single thank you!"
"Li Jing already testified for him, right? In my view, the most tragic is Xiao Bao Zi—he didn't even get his fur stroked before being handed a boxed meal…"
"Nezha 2 is really good!"
"Shen Gongbao's jump was simply stunning!"
At this moment, Su Xiao Xiao and her best friend were sitting in a milk‑tea shop near the theater. Her friend gulped a bite of taro‑pudding boba and said, "Xiao Xiao, where do you think Shen Gongbao went in the end? He wouldn't have gone to avenge Wuliang Xianweng, would he?"
"Avenge? No way!" Su Xiao Xiao squeezed her milk‑tea cup, making a crackling sound, "Did you miss the easter egg? His dad is still in Wuliang Xianweng's hands!"
There must be an easter egg at the end of the film.
Shen Gongbao's father didn't die; he was imprisoned by Wuliang Xianweng. However, Shen Gongbao is unaware, so if Nezha 3 were to be made, it would definitely revolve around this. (A slight tweak.)
Suddenly, her friend thought of something, eyes widening: "Wait! I just realized… Shen Xiaobao's last words were about Nezha… He couldn't possibly be trying to say…"
"It was Nezha who saved me; before I could finish speaking, he…"
Hiss!
Makes sense, so much sense.
"Damn it, Jiaozi the director did it on purpose!!!"
At the premiere venue.
Re Ba was wiping the corner of her eye with a tissue; it was clear she had just been moved to tears.
Yang Mi poked her cheek and said, "No way, you cry over an animated film?"
Hearing that, Re Ba shot her a glare and said, "You don't get it!"
Since having Nuan Nuan, Re Ba has become especially sentimental; she can't stand touching videos, and after watching them, tears just stream down.
"Alright, alright, I don't get it, you understand best!" Yang Mi said with a smile.
At the back, Deng Chao was still chatting with Jiaozi: "Director Yang, I also want to make animated movies; when I have time I'll come learn from you~"
Jiaozi replied with a smile, "Sure, sure!"
After watching Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil, Deng Chao became even more eager to make animated movies.
In the animation industry, he only knows Director Lin and Director Jiaozi.
Honestly, Deng Chao definitely wants to learn from Lin Mo…
But when he thought about it, Director Lin is always busy; how could he find time to teach him?
So he can only turn to Director Jiaozi.
Over here in Xiang Jiang.
After the film ended, big brother Cheng Long was the first to stand up: "Mozi, this movie is amazing; our Huaguo animated film has really taken off!"
"Director Lin, the script of your company's film is more solid than many live‑action movies, especially the scene with Shen Gongbao and his younger brother; in just two minutes it fully establishes the characters," Hong Jingbao said with a smile.
At that moment, Xiang Tai raised her phone and said, "Director Lin, I'm about to post on Weibo—Shen Gongbao's character really blew my mind!" She typed rapidly: "Tonight's biggest surprise: animated movies can be so vivid… #Nezha 2 Premiere#"
"Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil truly shows us the progress of Huaguo animated films; now Hollywood can't even catch up with us!"
"Exactly!"
"Nezha 2's box office will definitely surpass ten billion!"
Everyone started chiming in, one after another.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Online.
After the premiere of Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil, all major social platforms blew up, and the related topics instantly topped the hot search list!
"Brother Bao is truly tragic! He saved people yet got misunderstood, and in the end didn't even get a thank you!"
"The part where Shen Gongbao holds his brother's corpse made me cry like a dog! Director Jiaozi, you have no heart!"
"Brother Bao is the real man!"
"Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil is highly recommended, truly great!"
"I hate Jiaozi to death, why did you kill Shen Xiaobao!"
"Shen Gongbao's line 'my family has passed away' left me with nothing to cling to and broke my defenses!"
No surprise.
Shen Gongbao went viral, countless netizens voiced their grievances for him.
Soon, in the first Nezha film 'The Devil Boy Descends', Shen Gongbao's line was dug up again and surged up the hot search.
#Prejudices in the Human Heart Are a Mountain#
In the movie, Shen Gongbao's line 'Prejudices in the Human Heart Are a Mountain' became a viral gold‑sentence, no matter how hard you try, you can't move it, and netizens shared it wildly.
"That line hits the heart! How many people in reality are crushed by prejudice?"
"Shen Gongbao is the worker in the workplace who works desperately yet is ignored!"
"After watching the film, I suddenly realized I also judge people with prejudice; thinking about it is terrifying…"
"Degree discrimination, regional bias, workplace PUA… prejudice is everywhere!"
Less than half an hour after the premiere of Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil, the whole internet was flooded with posts.
Viewers kept saying the movie was unbelievably good, basically just endless praise!
And those audience members who haven't gone to the cinema to watch.
They looked at these comments, their hearts itching like a cat's scratch, so itchy, so damn itchy.
Yang Qian was one of them.
Today he had something on, so he didn't go to the premiere of Nezha 2.
By the time he got home, it was almost 11 o'clock.
After washing up, he lay in bed scrolling through Douyin, and then...
Of the ten videos he scrolled through, at least four or five were related to Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil.
After the movie premiere ended, all kinds of clips came out.
Among them, Shen Gongbao's soul-leap had the highest playback count, even topping Douyin's hot search.
Yang Qian clicked to take a look.
He just listened.
Boom— the shocking BGM blasted; in the picture, Shen Gongbao stood alone atop Donghai, the Lei Gong Whip coiled around violent lightning, his eyes resolute as he leapt forward, charging toward the sky-full of demon dragons!
Watching it, it really felt exciting, gave a feeling.
And the title of this video was even more exciting.
【Shen Gongbao's leap is worth billions in box office!】
Seeing this, Yang Qian snorted: 'Is it really that exaggerated?'
But when he opened the comments section, he was instantly dumbfounded—
"This leap, I would call it the pinnacle of domestic animation!"
"Bao Ge's leap will definitely lift Nezha's Mischievous Son Causes Sea Turmoil into the billion-dollar club!"
"Jiaozi director: Shen Gongbao, help me push it to a 10‑billion box office!"
Yang Qian grew more confused watching: 'No, is this movie really that divine?'
He scrolled down further and found the comments section completely frenzied.
Yang Qian swallowed, his finger uncontrollably tapping open the ticket‑purchase app.
"There are still seats for tomorrow afternoon's show!" He placed the order at lightning speed, afraid that even a second's delay would mean missing out.
Exiting the ticket page, he scrolled to another video—Shen Gongbao cradling his brother's corpse, tears falling silently, set to the sad version of Haidi, the comment section filled with wails:
"Jiaozi director, you have no heart!!!"
"Shen Xiaobao: Brother, I want to eat an immortal pill… (tears bursting)"
Yang Qian could no longer sit still; he quickly messaged a friend: 'Want to see Nezha 2 tomorrow afternoon?'
The friend instantly replied: 'Count me in! I just finished scrolling Douyin—Shen Gongbao is insanely handsome!'
Yang Qian took a deep breath, silently put his phone down, his mind full of the image of Shen Gongbao's leap.
"Tomorrow... I must see it with my own eyes!"
