Chapter 837 Science Fiction City

There are many mosquitoes in Jiangyang in summer, but there are not many mosquitoes at the entrance of the Juwang Exhibition Hall tonight.

It is estimated that seeing so many people gather together, the mosquitoes will also feel scared.

If one person slaps one mosquito to death, tens of thousands of people in this area can also be slapped to death.

At the beginning of the opening ceremony, a host came to the stage and said a few words, and then began to perform.

There are many programs, some related to science fiction, and some not related to science fiction.

There are two sci-fi stage plays that are very interesting, but performing on such a stage, the effect will be greatly reduced.

There are also several famous singers or bands singing on stage. Looking at the reactions of the young people in the audience, these bands and singers should be quite famous.

The songs they performed were not chosen randomly, most of them were related to science fiction, and some songs were the theme songs of science fiction movies.

There are two versions of the theme song of "The Last Starfish". The Chinese version and the English version are sung by one person, a Chinese female singer.

The singer is young and seems to have debuted only a few years ago, so Zhang Chong doesn't know him.

When the performance was over, Hilde, the chairman of the World Science Fiction Convention, took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

"Thank you to all the guests who performed on the stage just now. You have brought us an unforgettable night. It is rare to hold the opening ceremony outdoors. This year's World Science Fiction Convention is destined to be different from previous years. Jiangyang is not only a beautiful city, There are so many lovely people here too. It’s an honor to have the convention in such a city.”

Hilde on the stage was quite emotional. The leadership discussed for a long time whether to hand over the hosting right to Jiang Yang.

After more than a year, looking back, last year's decision was absolutely correct.

Over the years, the popularity of the World Science Fiction Convention has gradually declined.

In particular, last year's Wellington World Science Fiction Convention was not very good in all aspects.

If you are poor, you want to change. It is these circumstances that prompted them to hand over the hosting right to Jiang Yang.

Seeing the crowds of people under the stage, Hilde was really happy. It has been many years—no, since the World Science Fiction Convention was founded, there has never been such a grand event.

In the world's most populous country, it seems like anything can happen.

This year, the number of members who paid the membership fee to participate in the conference was more than twice that of last year, and many of them were new members from Huaxia.

This is also the conference with the best income.

Look at the venue again.

Whether it is the Juwang Exhibition Hall or the New International Convention and Exhibition Center not far away, they are definitely top-notch venues.

Moreover, the Juwang Exhibition Hall was originally a science and technology exhibition hall, which contained a lot of things related to aerospace, which also added a lot of brilliance to this conference.

"Jiangyang is just a starting point. I hope that more and more Asian cities will be able to host the World Science Fiction Convention in the future..."

After Hilde finished speaking, he invited Zhang Zhong up.

Zhang Zhong went up as a representative of Chinese science fiction.

He himself is very important in the science fiction world, and he is from Jiangyang, so he is considered the master, so he naturally wants to go up and say a few words.

After stepping onto the stage, Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Good evening, everyone."

Unlike Hilde's speech, Zhang Chong just showed up, and the audience became restless, and the scene suddenly turned into a large-scale fan meeting.

"First of all, I would like to extend my welcome to my friends from afar, and I hope that you will have a good time in Jiangyang these few days. I don't think I need to worry about this, because in these few days, you will be with the planet. The best visionaries in the world come together to talk about science and fantasy."

"I've always believed that science fiction's imagining of a better future has the power to make it come true—even if science fiction isn't made to be true."

"But it is undeniable that science fiction is becoming one of the most unique transnational cultures of our time. That's why we, people from different countries, can gather here for one purpose."

"Thanks to those friends who once voted for Jiang Yang, you have contributed to today's grand event. I hope you believe that your choice is absolutely correct. In China, science fiction culture is developing rapidly, if If you have time to walk around the streets of Jiangyang, you will know that what I said is true."

"This simple literary genre has developed into an industry here, involving publishing, animation, games, film and television, theme parks, etc., forming a relatively complete industrial chain."

"If five days later, you don't have to rush to leave. I suggest you go to Chang'e Park in the south. It is a science fiction theme park that has just been built. There is no card in the park and you can enter it for free. You can go to Go in through the southern gate and walk through a sci-fi themed street, where you will see many things that you have never seen before..."

"In addition, with the support of Nanhuai Provincial Government and Jiangyang Municipal Government, the project of Huaxia Science Fiction City is being launched. In the near future, Jiangyang will build China's first science fiction industrial park, science fiction theme park, science fiction A cultural park including a living community. This will be a sci-fi world beyond imagination, where all sci-fi fans can enjoy the ultimate fun.”

"Finally, let me say something irrelevant. All members of the World Science Fiction Convention who participated in the conference this time can receive a free ticket to the Longwang Exhibition Hall. This ticket has no time limit, and you can come here at any time. Besides, the ticket can In addition to visiting the Renwang Exhibition Hall, you can also get a chance to draw a lottery in the commercial area. There are many types of prizes, if you are interested, you can go to the commercial area to find out."

This is Zhang Zhong's benefit to members.

This kind of welfare costs a lot. The full adult ticket of the Juwang Exhibition Hall is 120. If every member here goes to get a ticket, it means that the Juwang Exhibition Hall has released tickets worth nearly [-] million yuan.

However, this business is not a loss in any way. With so many people coming to the Hope Exhibition Hall, the economic effect it can produce is immeasurable, and it can also enhance the image of the city.

In the construction of the Juwang Exhibition Hall, the Jiangyang government has given a lot of help.

Courtesy is reciprocal, and Zhang Zhong should also do something for Jiang Yang.

Hearing Zhang Zhong's last words, although many people know that this is a marketing method, they are also very happy. After all, everyone likes free things.

Even if you don't want it, just don't go to collect the tickets, and there is no loss at all.

Besides, this kind of ticket is not a real-name system. Even if some of them don't need it, they can still get it and sell it online.

Tickets worth more than 100 yuan can be sold for dozens of yuan.
