The film took five years to produce, with all efforts put into its creation. This “Made in Chengdu” sincere work undoubtedly offers the best reward to the audience. The reason why “Ne Zha 2” is firmly called “Made in Chengdu” is closely related to a “native” animation production chain behind it – from the first production company of the film, Doyou Animation, where director “Jiaozi” is based, to multiple aspects such as special effects and dubbing in the movie, there are all local production companies in Chengdu involved.

At the end credits of “Ne Zha 2”, 138 Chinese animation companies were listed, with no foreign companies. Some netizens emotionally commented that the behind-the-scenes production was just like the story in the film, with each team contributing their hardest “scales” to make a unique “Ten-Thousand Dragon Armor” for “Ne Zha 2”, which is unbreakable due to the unity of all.

Finally, “Ne Zha 2” presented a sincere answer sheet from the Chinese animation industry with over 1,900 special effects shots and over 10,000 special effects elements. As Jiaozi said, the key to Chinese culture going global lies in the works themselves, in the script, story, characters and other core contents, “these cannot be outsourced”.
