Here’s the English translation of the provided Chinese text:

“As Chinese people, every Spring Festival, we gather with our families for reunion dinners and watching movies has become an indispensable entertainment activity. This year’s Spring Festival box office hit, Ne Zha, exploded out of its niche, sparking discussions on streets and in alleys. The scale is impressive, reminiscent of the previous blockbuster, Wolf Warrior, carrying a strong patriotic theme that inexplicably evokes a sense of national pride.

Prompt: Write an article, topic: The explosive popularity of Ne Zha at the Spring Festival box office, the inexplicable sense of national pride, similar to older films like Wolf Warrior, with a patriotic theme. While there has been significant progress, it hasn’t reached this level. As gamers, many aspects seem greasy, and the combat scenes are heavily influenced by online games. There have already been people who bought movie tickets for Ne Zha but didn’t actually watch it.”

The Combat Scene Lacked Texture

As a gamer, I’m usually immersed in various online worlds. Because of this, I didn’t have high expectations for movies. However, with the huge popularity of The Battle Between Heaven and Earth, everyone around me was talking about it, so I thought I’d take a look. When I entered the cinema, as soon as the scene came on screen, my heart sank. Although the visuals were noticeably improved compared to previous films, some scenes looked a bit greasy. Specifically, the combat scenes felt too heavily influenced by games; you know, like the style was too much like what I’ve seen in video games. Having played so many years of games, the visual style and certain scenes reminded me too strongly of those in games, lacking the texture that a film should have.

Crazy Fanatics

After watching the movie, I went out to see what was happening online. Turns out, quite a few people said they bought tickets for The Soul of the Demon purely to boost its box office revenue. This is impressive – I have to admit I’m somewhat impressed! It seems that everyone’s enthusiasm and support for this film is incredibly high, and they were willing to do something for it.

Storyline

Let’s reflect on it: back when “The Battle of Wukong” came out, Wu Jing shouted “Anyone who dares to harm China will be punished, no matter how far away,” and countless people felt a surge of patriotism, thinking our Chinese military was incredibly powerful and our country immensely strong. Although “The White Dragon” doesn’t have such a direct patriotic slogan, it vividly portrays traditional Chinese culture. Characters like Nezha and Ao Bing, figures we’ve grown up hearing stories about since childhood, are brought to life with their feuds, romances, and growth journeys in the film – this is precisely the charm of Chinese culture, isn’t it?

Let’s take Nezha as an example. He was misunderstood and ostracized from a young age, but he refused to give up, shouting “My destiny is not determined by heaven, but by myself,” which resonates so strongly with the resilience deep within every Chinese person. No matter what difficulties we face, we don’t bow down; we change our fate through our own efforts. Ao Bing is similar, carrying the burden of his family’s mission, appearing cold on the surface but possessing a kind heart, and sacrificing himself for his friends. This friendship, this sense of responsibility – aren’t we often able to see these things in real life too?

Advancements in Animated Films

Although The Fire on the Mountain (Nezha) had some imperfections, it effectively combined traditional Chinese culture with modern film technology, allowing us to see significant progress in Chinese animated films. Just as Wolf Warrior demonstrated China’s breakthrough in the action film genre. This kind of advancement makes us feel that Chinese cinema can rise to prominence on the international stage and allows foreigners to witness the brilliance of Chinese culture.

As Chinese people, no matter where we go, we carry our nation and culture within us. Films like Nezha and Wolf Warrior are like keys that unlock the deep-seated sense of national pride within us. They allow us to feel the strength of our country and the charm of our culture amidst laughter and joy, while also inspiring us to work hard in our respective roles to contribute to the prosperity and flourishing of our nation. That’s probably why these films went viral and were able to evoke a sense of national pride within us. In the future, we hope for more films like this to appear, allowing this feeling of national pride to remain full and abundant.
