The blockbuster Chinese animated film Nezha: The Devil's Fury has taken its cultural spectacle global, hitting theaters in the U.S. and Canada after shattering box office records at home. The film became the first in China to surpass 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion), fueled by its visually stunning animation and groundbreaking soundtrack.
Central to its sonic magic is musician Halamuji's performance of Khoomei – a traditional throat-singing style from Inner Mongolia – layered with the mythical Tianyuan Ding artifact's resonant power. The fusion creates an auditory journey that bridges ancient traditions and modern filmmaking.
\"This isn't just movie music – it's a passport to China's cultural heritage,\" said one industry analyst. Halamuji's vocal artistry has sparked international curiosity about Khoomei, with YouTube reaction videos praising its 'haunting beauty.'
The film's global rollout coincides with growing Western interest in Asian cinema, following successes like Demon Slayer and Everything Everywhere All At Once. Streaming platforms are reportedly in talks to license the film worldwide.
