The film earned 2.634 billion yuan at the box office and won the 36th Golden Rooster Award for best feature film. As the name implies, the main battlefield of the story is in Xiqi, the army of the Shang Dynasty is under the city, Xiqi is on the brink of defense, and the struggle for the list of gods is still going on.

On the poster, the meaningful film name has the characteristics of oriental aesthetics, and the simple and elegant decoration style on the font of "Feng Shen" originated from the bronzes in the late Shang Dynasty. If you take a closer look, the poster also hides the main characters of the Xiqi camp and the Yin Shang camp. The fascinating "Fengshen lineup" and the red-hot visual elements on the poster are full of New year flavor, and the sentence "look at Chinese mythology and celebrate the Chinese New year" highlights the perfect match between the film and the Spring Festival. The story of Fengshen, as a national myth that has been handed down for thousands of years, is known to everyone from the post-50s to the 10th. "Fengshen II: Xiqi of the flames of War" will be an excellent choice for the whole family to watch the Spring Festival in 2025.

The story goes deep into Fengshen Universe and adds new members.

Yin Shang came fiercely and Xiqi confronted the two camps head-on.

As a connecting link between the preceding and the following, in the plot of the story, the growth of the characters, and the establishment of the world outlook on the universe, "Fengshen part II: Xiqi of Fire of War" is further extended on the basis of "Fengshen part I: the Wind and Cloud of Chao Song". In "Feng Shen I: the Song of the Dynasty", Wang Yinshou of the Shang Dynasty colluded with Da Ji, a fox demon, and caused a scourge. Kunlun fairy Jiang Ziya went down the mountain with the list of gods to find the common master of the world in order to save lives. Ji Fa, the son of Xibo Hou, gradually discovered the true face of Yin Shou and began to sing songs. Director Urshan reshaped the 3000-year-old myth from a contemporary perspective and modern film technology, which not only brought amazing audio-visual shock to the audience, but also portrayed a series of wonderful characters. let everyone feel innovative and memorable: Kunlun mountain fairies Jiang Ziya, Yang Kui and Nezhu, who come down to seek the common master of the world, are in great contrast and are affectionately called "the three Immortals of the Earth" by the audience. Ji Fa, a young hero in fresh clothes and angry horses, has gone through introspection and reshaping to explore the inner goodness and perseverance; Shang Wang Yin Shou is no longer a symbolic obscurity, but a careerist who gradually reveals his true face; Da Ji is no longer a "beauty disaster" in the stereotype, but an "amplifier" of Yin Shou's desire and ambition. Even Deng Xianyu, Wen Zhong, and the four generals of the Magic Family, who appeared only in the color eggs at the end of the film, all detonated the audience's expectations of "Fengshen II: Xiqi of War" in just a few seconds.

Over the past year, the voice of "Fengshen II" has never stopped on the Internet, and this time netizens finally "urge more success"! Compared with the previous work, the story of "Fengshen II: Xiqi of the flames of War" is strengthened, and the characters are more abundant. Several conceptual designs released earlier also vaguely foreshadowed the direction of the wonderful plot-- Deng Xianyu stood on a high platform in armor, and the four generals of the magic family with magic weapons and the army of Yin and Shang were ready. Lei Zhenzi spread his wings to rescue Jiang Ziya and Jifa, who were besieged by crows; and on the thrilling battlefield, Yang Kui and Naha went down through the air. The concept design map alone has revealed the fierce situation of the "Defense War of Xiqi". What role will the resurrected Yin Shou, Da Ji with a broken tail and Wen Zhong of the Hui Dynasty play in the new chapter? What role will Shen Gongbao and Yuan Shi Tianzun, who impressed people in the previous work, play in the showdown between the two camps of Yin Shang and Xiqi? The war is about to begin, see the real chapter on the screen on the first day of the Lunar New year!
