The animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" was launched in 2004 and finally scheduled for release in 2016, which made everyone wait for 12 years. At the press conference, director Liang Xuan said: "In 2004, I made my dream into a short film, and then I thought it would be great to make this short film into a movie. It was not until 2007 that we got a sum of money and really started the creation of the movie." From 2010 to 2013, the two had been looking for film financing. Although many investors were interested in their ideas, no one dared to invest because of the market. It was not until 2013 that they got investment again and "Big Fish and Begonia" was restarted. The two directors also cried at the press conference. The hardships can be imagined.

"Our dream is to make an animated film that deeply touches people's hearts and brings the power of love and faith to young people." Tidus, the original author of "Big Fish and Begonia", dropped out of Tsinghua University's thermal power major at the age of 21. He founded Bi'an Tian with his good friend Breath. In 2008, he obtained a million US dollars in venture capital from United Venture Capital and launched his debut animated film "Big Fish and Begonia". The film has won numerous awards at home and abroad during the creative sample stage, and was included and praised by the Pompidou Center for Contemporary Art in France as "one of the most outstanding works of art."
