Author: OKX
On December 6, renowned director and actor Stephen Chow shared the MV of the new song "Nobody" by Chinese-American rapper MC Jin on Instagram, revealing that the Moonbox NFT collection Nobody may be released soon. "Nobody" is a warm-up for the same-named NFT series created by MC Jin at the invitation of Moonbox First Creator Stephen Chow. As an AI & Web3 project invested in by OKX Ventures, the Nobody series NFTs are likely to be released on both Moonbox and the OKX NFT marketplace in the future.
It is reported that MC Jin's latest MV "Nobody" draws creative inspiration from many classic characters portrayed by Stephen Chow and features the voice of Stephen Chow himself. The MV references numerous iconic scenes from films such as "Kung Fu," "The God of Cookery," and "Shaolin Soccer," as well as Easter eggs from props in films like "The Return of the Cuckoo" and "The King of Destruction," which is sure to provide fans with a unique audiovisual experience.
As early as July 2023, Moonbox officially obtained the rights to use Mr. Stephen Chow's film IP in the NFT space, including "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back," and "The Mermaid." Additionally, the team plans to release NFTs and AI applications for NFT holders by the end of this year. This report also confirms the anticipated release of the related NFT collection Nobody.
Stephen Chow's agent Chris Chan stated that Mr. Chow has always hoped to create a native IP based on Web3, bringing top-tier Chinese storytelling capabilities to the Web3 industry. The design inspiration for the upcoming NFT series Nobody indeed stems from the spirit of overcoming humble beginnings to achieve great things, which Stephen Chow represents.
"As the Moonbox First Creator, Mr. Stephen Chow not only built a grand worldview for Nobody but also deeply participated in the product discussions of Moonbox. He hopes to transform the Moonbox community into the largest Chinese co-creation community. In the future, every NFT holder will be a part of the community, and they may even participate in various aspects of future film production, casting, and promotion," Chris Chan said.
As an investor in Moonbox, OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren stated, "Web3 is leveraging blockchain technology to enable people to build an open, free, and transparent community, effectively communicate, share joy and value, and reduce trust and communication costs. Moonbox is effectively combining Web3 with AI, and with the launch of the Nobody NFT, Moonbox is about to take an exciting important step. In the future, we hope to see more and more creators releasing their works on Moonbox, empowering their creative careers through this disruptive product."
Moonbox co-founder Jacky Cao stated, "The team has put a lot of effort into the NFT gameplay and has designed interactive features based on AI and NFT chatting. We plan to complete the release of the Nobody NFT and the launch of the Moonbox App in Q1 next year. At that time, it will be free for users, who can chat and interact with each Nobody NFT character to learn about their personality, hobbies, and backstory. Additionally, Nobody NFT holders will also have exclusive features to create secondary works based on the Nobody NFT characters."
In recent years, OKX has actively explored the cross-industry integration of Web3 with sports and entertainment, having already collaborated with top teams such as Premier League champions Manchester City, McLaren F1 team, and the Tribeca Film Festival. They are committed to bringing new Web3 experiences to more users worldwide through their partners. As a legendary film superstar and director, Stephen Chow has hundreds of millions of fans in Asia and globally, making him an ideal partner for OKX, while Moonbox will serve as the initial "link" for their collaboration.
