Box Office Hit "Jiang Ziya" Premieres Exclusively on iTalkBB in North America!

Coming December 25th: "Jiang Ziya" exclusively on iTalkBB Chinese TV in North America!

For decades, Chinese animations like "Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King", "Lotus Lantern", and "Calabash Brothers" dominated the industry. With few breakthroughs in domestic animation, these 80s-90s classics remained the "pinnacle of Chinese animation".

In 2015, "Monkey King: Hero is Back" marked a turning point, grossing 957 million yuan and winning Best Art Film at the Golden Rooster Awards.

The 2019 release "Ne Zha" became China's first IMAX 3D animated feature, grossing 5.035 billion yuan and winning multiple awards.

In 2020's National Day season, "Jiang Ziya" - first teased in "Ne Zha"'s post-credits - broke records with 1.2 billion yuan in just 6 days.

This animation masterpiece premieres exclusively on iTalkBB Chinese TV December 25th!

Set after the Investiture of the Gods war, the film follows Jiang Ziya, a Kunlun disciple who defeats the fox demon and overthrows King Zhou, only to be banished from heaven at the peak of his success.
