Yesterday (October 25) afternoon, Enlight Media held a press conference, announcing that Enlight Media had established "Colorful House Pictures" with animation development as its core, and invested in 13 animation companies. Enlight Media President Wang Changtian and a group of new animation directors revealed a number of new animation film, web series, and game projects. Tian Xiaopeng, director of "The Return of the Great Sage", announced on the spot that his two new film projects "The Monkey King" and "Deep Sea" are in preparation, and the domestic animation film "Big Fish and Begonia" that had been postponed before is also confirmed to be released in 2016.

"The Monkey King: Hero is Back" director Tian Xiaopeng launches new film about Journey to the West

The great success of word-of-mouth and box office of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" has also made director Tian Xiaopeng the most sought-after animation director at present. Wang Changtian, president of Enlight Media, said that Enlight had invested in Tian Xiaopeng's "October Culture" company long before the release of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", and the two parties will jointly create Tian Xiaopeng's next new works "The Monkey King Makes Trouble in Heaven" and "Deep Sea". Tian Xiaopeng, who appeared at the press conference, said that "Deep Sea" is the work he wants to do in his lifetime. The story has been in his mind for many years. His Weibo name was named "Deep Sea Stranger" a long time ago. Another work is "The Monkey King Makes Trouble in Heaven". The Monkey King in "The Monkey King Makes Trouble in Heaven" is at his most high-spirited time. "'Great Trouble' has basically no connection with previous works. It is my new interpretation of "Journey to the West" and it is also the theme of Journey to the West that I want to do the most." Tian Xiaopeng also joked that he made a lot of money and can have more fun next time.

With the development of animated films, the combination of animation and real people will be a major trend in the future, and real-life fantasy films may also become an important genre. Wang Nima, the soul of "Baozou Comics", announced in a video that day that "Baozou Comics" will launch a 3D fantasy film project. In addition, the fantasy novel "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" with a Baidu search index of over 2 million, the original work of I Eat Tomatoes, and the famous children's "Charlie IX" series with sales exceeding 50 million copies, also announced that they will launch real-life film projects on the same day.
