Soaring as a phenomenal hit in the comic and animation circles, The Outcast — which has published over 680 episodes across five seasons — has amassed over 30 billion views online and has been adapted into various projects, including online games, animated series and a 27-episode live-action drama.

"When I watched the first episode, I was immediately hooked. I couldn't resist binge-watching the entire second season right away. The world and characters are just so captivating," recalls Wuershan.

"In Hollywood, there's a long history of movies based on comics, but in China, this genre is still relatively rare. With The Traveller, I hope to fill this gap and introduce Chinese superheroes tailored for Chinese viewers," he adds.

Then involved in the production of the Creation of the Gods trilogy, where three installments were filmed one-by-one but planned for separate releases in subsequent years, Wuershan was cultivating a bold and innovative concept.

Creation of the Gods is adapted from Fengshen Yanyi (The Investiture of the Gods), a 16th-century novel set during the tumultuous decline of the Shang Dynasty (c. 16th century-11th century BC). The story weaves together historical figures, such as King Zhou, with mythological characters like Nezha, crafting a world where humans and celestial beings coexist.
