In the movie released on Friday, the attention received by "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending" is overwhelming, which is not exaggerated. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you're welcome to read our previous recommendation ~ (poke here to review)
So far, this is considered to be the best domestic anime after "The Return of the Great Sage", and it is likely to become the biggest dark horse in this year's summer file! The Douban score has risen from a staggering 8.6 at the beginning of the score to 8.8 and has continued to be stable.
According to the calculations of many platforms, the total box office of this film may reach more than 1.5 billion yuan, and no movie has received this figure so far in this summer 's schedule' ("Spider-Man" has a total of 1.401 billion yuan in the mainland so far).
The appearance of this anime. People have become interested in the production team and the director dumplings. At the same time, I can't help but sigh that characters and stories such as "Nezha", which have been remade countless times by film and television dramas, still have their potential value.
The presentation of "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending" can be said to be the most successful "Nezha adaptation" in recent years. But at the same time, after watching this film that completely deconstructs the original text, I really have to recall what the original mythological story tells
I still don't want to admit that this is Nezha...
From what source did you first read the story of Nezha? Cartoons, TV series, or novels? We may as well start with the original novel "Fengshen Yanyi" to see the original appearance of this story.
"Fengshen Yanyi" novel embroidery
Li Jing, the general of Chen Tangguan in the Shang Dynasty, and Lady Yin had two sons, namely Jin Zha and Mu Zha, who were also big figures in the "Fengshen Shen". When Mrs. Yin was pregnant with her third child, she had not been born for three years and six months, which made the couple worried that "it was either a demon or a monster".
When he was born, he actually gave birth to a large meat ball! Li Jing was frightened and half dead, and a sword split up, and a small doll popped out from inside. He is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, and he is the Nezha of the future Jiang Ziya's forerunner.
When Nezha was born, he had two magic weapons, qiankun circle and mixed heaven aya, both from Taiyi Zhenren's Golden Light Cave. Taiyi Zhenren went to Li Jing's house, named the child, and accepted him as a disciple, but at the same time warned Li Jing that the child had "seventeen hundred killing rings."

In the blink of an eye, Nezha was seven years old, and on this day he actually ran to the Jiuwan River in the east sea mouth to play in the water to cool off. Even if you take a bath, you also put the mixed sky Aya as a bath towel in the river to wash, and the magic treasure suddenly stirred up the East Sea!
Therefore, Donghai first sent a patrol night fork out to see the situation, because he was killed by Nezha with a Qiankun circle because of his bad words; the third prince of the Donghai Dragon Palace came up to send people's heads, was bound with mixed heavenly aya, and directly smoked dragon tendons, planning to make a belt for his father Li Jing... What a filial child!

The next day, the Dragon King Ao Guang planned to go to the South Heavenly Gate to file a complaint, but Nezha asked for the Master's invisibility charm, blocked Ao Guang's identity as a spirit bead, and defeated the Dragon King sheng sheng to tear up dozens of dragon scales, forcing the other party to submit softly.
I think Li Jing is really tired. A lifetime of cultivation immortals can not succeed, there are still a few friends, but this child really poked the sky a hole in the nature, people have offended the light.
In the face of the Dragon King of the Four Seas who came to the door, Nezha agreed with them to cut the abdomen, cut the intestines, remove the flesh and bones, and return to the parents, not tired of their parents. But this was actually the method that the master taught him, and then Tuomeng gave his mother Lady Yin to build a temple for him in Cuiping Mountain to collect incense, so that he could reshape his body.
In the cartoon, Nezha committed suicide, which was used as a logo by the band and as a symbol of resistance and division
The complete tearing between him and Li Jing also arose. For this child who had never paid for his father's love, Li Jing behaved extremely coldly, and when he heard about the construction of the temple, he was actually angry, scolded his wife, "I don't think he hurt us enough", and went to smash the temple of Nezha.
Taiyi Zhenren had no choice, so he recreated Nezha's body with lotus flowers and lotus roots, and gave him the Wind and Fire Wheel and the Fire Spear to gather six magic weapons. After Nezha was resurrected, he immediately went to Li Jing to avenge himself and wanted to "kill his father" .
But this time, he was blocked by all the immortals one by one, and even Li Jing got the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda Magic Weapon, so that Nezha could no longer resist. In the novel, it is said that this is the immortals in order to "grind the sex of the son, in order to recognize the love of father and son". But now that I read this story, I still have some lamentations about this hero's tricks.
Li Jing and Nezha in the 87th edition of Journey to the West
Nezha in "Journey to the West" is somewhat different from this story, for example, Nezha's six magic weapons have become a demon sword, a demon sword, a demon rope, a demon pestle, a hydrangea ball, a fire wheel, and so on. But this is the problem of the same flow variation.
The reincarnation of the spirit beads, the pregnancy for three years, the slaughter of dragons in the sea, the tearing of dragon scales, the cutting of flesh and bones, the construction of temples in dreams, the incarnation of lotus flowers... These classic story prototypes, after the re-adaptation of "The Devil Boy of Nezha", have completely changed the connotation, and are more in line with the thinking and aesthetics of this generation of audiences.
After watching so many film and television adaptations of Nezha, I didn't expect that my favorite was actually such a dark eye version! However, many of the previous versions are also classics in our memory.
What are the laws of many versions of the Nezha image? When the new film is released, we may wish to take stock of those classic Nezha images and see what kind of adaptation road Nezha in the film and television drama has gone through.
Nezha (1974)
Director: Zhang Che
Writers: Zhang Che / Ni Kuang
Starring: Fu Sheng / Feng Ke'an / Lee Yoon Chung / Tsang Chi Wai / Lu Di
Genre: Action / Fantasy / Adventure / Martial Arts / Costume
Country/Region of Production: Hong Kong / Taiwan
It is a bit incredible, the martial arts giant Zhang Che actually filmed a version of "Nezha"!
The Nezha in the movie is the son of Chen Tangguan's general soldier, but he is not accustomed to the evil forces bullying the people, and he has made many shots, and his father has become incompatible, committing suicide. But Master Taiyi Zhenren revived his lotus and continued to save the suffering people.
It's not sausage, it's dragon tendon...
As can be seen from the synopsis, this is already a chivalrous story. Nezha, starring The 70s Hong Kong kung fu movie star Fu Sheng, appears to be full of tough guy temperament.
Although it basically obeys the original work, the adaptation of "Kung Fu Nezha" may be too magical, and the response at the time was mediocre, but in recent years it has been repeatedly mentioned as part of Zhang Che's research.
Nezha Noisy Sea (1979)
Director: Yan Dingxian / Wang Shuchen / Xu Jingda
Writers: Wang Shuchen
Starring: Leung Chung-fai / Qiu Yuefeng / Bi Ke / Fu Runsheng / Shang Hua
Genre: Animation / Fantasy / Adventure
Country of Production: Chinese mainland
To talk about the most classic Nezha, I believe that many viewers will vote for "Nezha Noisy Sea" produced by Shanghai Fine Arts Studio in 1979. 120,000 people gave a total of 9 points in Douban, firmly occupying a place in the TOP250!
The film, specially produced to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, won the 1980 Hundred Flowers Award for Best Picture, and became the first Chinese-language animation film to be selected for Cannes in that year. The film is 65 minutes long, all hand-drawn, and the difficulty is unimaginable.
He set the benchmark for all subsequent Nezha images. After the image, whether it is appearance or personality, you can almost see the shadow of "Nezha Noisy Sea".
What is even more valuable is that this version of Nezha represents the interpretation of Nezha's story in the new era: a sense of justice and rebellion. This spirit has also greatly improved the image spread of the classic Nezha.
List of Canonized Gods (1990)
Director: Guo Xinling
Writers: Xu Zhonglin / Bing Fu / Gu Hanchang / Ouyang Yuping
Starring: Fu Yiwei / Daqi / Lan Tianye / He Wei / Lei Changxi
Genre: Drama / Fantasy / Costume
In 1990, this "List of Fengshen Gods" left us with many impressions, such as Fu Yiwei, the "most beautiful woman", and the shooting scale that has been quietly discussed in recent years. And the Nezha in this version was also a full idol school at that time.
He Wei, who starred in this version of Nezha, was a child star at the time, and it is said that he was still a bit mixed-race, and he filmed his first play from the age of 10. Although the helmet of this Saint Seiya looked a little rustic, He Wei was really quite handsome at that time! Unfortunately, later I went abroad to study and went to the sea to do business.

Lotus Boy Nezha (1999)
Director: Ye Chengkang
Writers: Li Rong
Starring: Cao Jun / Cheng Jianhui / Xue Sushan / Weng Qinghai
Genre: Fantasy / Adventure / Costume
"Lotus Boy Nezha" was a hit at that time, and it was also a masterpiece of Cao Jun's child star period, which was very close to the three princes of the animation "Nezha Noisy Sea", which also made this TV series considered to be the most restored "Nezha" image of the live-action drama.
Cao Jun was a popular child star in the late 90s, and when he grew up, he also acted in the drama version of "Baolian Lantern", which should be familiar to everyone
Legend of the List of Gods (1999)
Director: Wang Genfa
Writers: Wang Dawei
Starring: Wei Qichang
Genre: Animation / War / Fantasy / Costume
In 1999, the Shanghai Film Art Factory, which gave birth to "Nezha Noisy Sea", once again created a 100-episode TV animation "Legend of the Fengshen List". This animation also features Nezha as the protagonist, but this time, Nezha's image is more youthful and no longer a child's image.
However, this style of printmaking has been complained by many people about being too long, and because of the problem of commercial operations, there is no news without putting a few rounds.
It is worth mentioning that the magic change of the original story has begun this time! For example, the plot of Nezha and Ao Bing turning enemies into friends, this part has been used, and the two people were later good comrades-in-arms on the road of cutting. In addition, Nezha also has emotional drama you dare to believe!
List of Gods (2001)
Director: Liu Shiyu
Writers: Zhang Huabiao / Zhu Jingqi
Starring: Chen Haomin / Wen Bixia / Qian Jiale / Yuan Qiongdan
Genre: Drama / Comedy / Action / Romance / War / Fantasy
Country/Region of Production: Hong Kong
If Cao Jun's version of Nezha is a classic of the "child" version, then Chen Haomin's role is the most outstanding in the adult image. This version of Nezha was sent to the Nüwa Temple from childhood to raise brothers with Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi, and also fell in love with Yang Lianhua, yang Jiao's sister... Well, the taste of Hong Kong drama is not wrong.
This TVB drama only had its premiere in the mainland in 2001, and as soon as it was broadcast, it immediately responded to it. Although the "adult" Nezha has a slight sense of violation at first glance, his rebellious heart and sense of justice are very much in line with the image of Nezha recognized by everyone's consciousness.
After that, Nezha's live-action images were increasingly played by adults.
The Legend of Nezha (2003)
Director: Cai Zhijun / Chen Jiaqi / Zhang Zuquan / Dai Tielang
Writers: Wu Nan / Bian Zhihong / Meng Yao
Starring: Hao Youyue / Gao Feng / Zhang Yunlong
Genre: Animation / Kids / Fantasy / Adventure
The 2003 CCTV version of "The Legend of Nezha" should be the childhood memory of this generation of Xiaobian. "It's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, our hero, Little Nezha!" Familiar? Sing together!
The image of this Nezha, which is now the most widely spread, basically comes from the 79 version of "Nezha Noisy Sea", but it is more cute and gives more positive and growth significance. Douban's score of 8.7 is obviously inflated, but it is full of feelings.
This version of Nezha's story mainly revolves around his duel with his lifelong enemy Shi Ji Niangniang, with the help of Nüwa, Taiyi Zhenren and Xiaolongnü, Little Pig Bear, Lei Zhenzi and other partners, slowly honed and grown into a brave and strong little hero.
"Pauline Lamp Prequel" (2009)
Director: Yu Mingsheng
Screenwriter: Nine years
Starring: Jiao Enjun / Zhou Yang / Liu Xiaoqing / Wang Weiguo / Song Zu'er
Genre: Drama / Action / Romance / Fantasy / Costume
Speaking of which, the influence of this "Baolian Lantern Prequel" is actually average, but in the past two years, it has been repeatedly mentioned, for only one reason, that is, Song Zu'er, who played the childhood Nezha in it, is really too good-looking!
In this part, the young Nezha is the savior of Yang Jian's brothers and sisters, the role is quite important, and the performance of Song Zu'er, who is just ten years old, can be said to be quite amazing! Okay well, mainly look at the face!
100,000 Cold Jokes (2012)
Director: Lu Hengyu / Li Shujie
Writers: Cold Dance
Starring: Nakayo Hoki / Yama shin / Mongmon / Imperial Zhenji
Genre: Comedy / Animation
Although I am very reluctant to admit it, the most deconstructive spirit for Nezha's image before "The Magic Boy Descends" is really ... "100,000 Cold Jokes".
This series of comedies and spoofs puts a classic "Lotus Boy" face on a muscular man, resulting in the wonderful group of "King Kong Barbie". This Nezha image is already a product of aesthetics and humor in the Internet era.
Later, the big movie of King Kong Barbie version of Nezha was also released, and the box office income was not cheap, and the movie itself... Do not say.
In addition to the above classic Nezha images, we have not seen the version of Nezha with hot eyes over the years.
Yes, I know that you are thinking about this meme, Nezha, who wang Baoqiang starred in "Legendary Yin Shang" in 2006, is still his black material... From this drama, it can also be seen that the baby's ability to choose a play has been greatly improved over the years.
There is also the 2016 "Legend of the Fengshen Gods", the article played the role of Nezha, the image is quite greasy middle-aged, said good sense of youth?
In the recent new version of "Fengshen Yanyi", Nezha, played by Liang Zhenlun, has found a sense of youth, but it is like not knowing what its plot has to do with "Fengshen", and this image does not know how to see that it is Nezha.
Each generation of Nezha's creation has its own sustenance, and at the same time, it is also looking for a point of convergence and satisfaction with the audience. However, in recent years, with the improvement of the audience's viewing requirements, such a fit point is becoming more and more difficult to find, and even fell into the strange circle of "magic reform".
Fortunately, there is also a "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending", let's say "well filmed".
For the audience, freshness is important, but it needs more emotional echoes. And this cartoon actually made us find a long-lost touch. When Nezha shouted "My life, I have the final say", completely from head to toe!
Starting tomorrow, the film will be released on a large scale. If you still have friends who have not seen it, you may wish to brush it up together and see what kind of surprise this version of Nezha will give you!
