Storyline:
The story happens after over 2000 years when Nezha conquered the Dragon King in the novel Fengshen Yanyi. A normal young deliveryman Li Yunxiang, though coming from the slum area, is living a satisfying life and enjoying motor racing at his spare time. But when the arrogant wealthy son of Boss De(the Dragon King) beats him down, takes away his beloved motor, and even wounds his innocent orphan sister, his deep anger turns into a blast of Truth Fire. The true identity-Nezha, is revealed. Nezha, the God of Rebel, violent and egocentric, empowers Yunxiang, but the newly obtained uncontrollable power brings new harm to Yunxiang’s family and friends. Meanwhile Nezha’s old enemies are seeking revenges too. Facing the twist of fate, Yunxiang has to find out his own way to become a true hero.
About New Gods: Nezha Reborn Movie:
New Gods: Nezha Reborn (Chinese: 新神榜:哪吒重生) is a Chinese 3D animated fantasy action film directed by Zhao Ji and written by Mu Chuan, based on the character of Nezha from the Ming dynasty novel Investiture of the Gods.
The cyberpunk city of Donghai was designed based on a mixture of Manhattan in the 1920s and ’30s and Republic of China–era Shanghai, according to Zhao.
The film was released in mainland China on 12 February 2021 (Chinese New Year). Netflix acquired global rights to the film except in China, and it was released on the platform on 12 April 2021. A prequel, New Gods: Yang Jian, was released in 2022.
New Gods: Nezha Reborn is not related to the 2019 film Ne Zha; they came from different production companies and have different distributors. New Gods: Nezha Reborn actually started production before Ne Zha did, but both films are loosely based on the same Ming Dynasty novel.
