Chapter Eighty-Seven: San Diego
"What I don't understand is, why do we pay so much attention to that Hollywood kid?" asked a middle-aged otaku uncle with gray hair.
A middle-aged elite uncle in a suit sitting across from him glanced at him and muttered, "God, Hill, do you still need to ask? That's not an ordinary kid, that's a Hollywood prodigy, the youngest Oscar screenwriter ever, with him and his company, we can really do what we say on our brand - International Comic-Con!"
Seeing that the otaku uncle was still a little puzzled, the elite fan uncle explained with some iron: "Hill, although we are now saying that it is the largest comic book in the United States, but in addition to introducing a few RB comic books and cultivating a few second-rate stars and TV stars who are difficult to make anime adaptations, what else can we develop." β
"You mean, that Hollywood kid can give us a chance to develop?" asked the otaku uncle, puzzled.
"Don't you see the current momentum of Harry Potter? Fire Lion Pictures is going to put this comic film with us for the world's first promotion, do you know the meaning of this?" said Uncle Fan of Elite Fan with a swear.
"Once this film is successful, we at San Diego Comic-Con will not be just an otaku comic con, and we will have the opportunity to get the support of the film industry that really markets the world. β
This elite uncle is Richard Off, the current president of San Diego Comic-Con, and the middle-aged uncle dressed as an otaku is Hill Dove, the founder of San Diego Comic-Con.
The two were arguing over something very important to Comic-Con, when a man knocked on the door, "Richard, the Fire Lion's people have arrived at the hotel." β
Richard Auve immediately stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the reception." β

San Diego is the second largest city in California after Los Angeles and the eighth largest city in the United States, and every summer, it attracts the attention of the West Coast and the United States.
Because in July and August, there is the largest San Diego International Comic-Con in the Western Hemisphere, which is a heavyweight event that can compete with E3 International Game Show in Los Angeles.
Unlike the traditional Anime Festival, San Diego's Comic-Con has gradually transformed into a diversified and comprehensive show.
During the four-day exhibition, hundreds of thousands of animation, game, film and television enthusiasts from all over the world visited, and major manufacturers took the opportunity to promote their products.
"So, this is San Diego Comic-Con?" Sid took off his sunglasses and looked up at the faΓ§ade of the hotel, which was hung with huge posters several stories high, as the driver showed the convoy as the driver showed the convoy to see the hotel where the San Diego Comic Con was located.
In his field of vision, a huge "Spider-Man" poster is eye-catching next to the San Diego Comic-Con theme poster, and it is also written with the words: "San Diego's first movie launch - "Spider-Man"!"
"Wow, these people are weird enough, are they really just wearing these clothes and walking around in public?" Lindsay Nizi, who was sitting next to Sid, also spotted the men and women wearing anime character cosplay "fancy costumes" through the car window, apparently this was the first time she had seen otaku playing cosplay.
"Hehe, it's not a drag dress, it's called 'RolePlay' roleplay. Sid said with a smile.
"Role-playing?" Lindsay looked at Sid with a "surprised" expression, "I didn't expect Sid brother to be so good?" I have to think about it, do I have to stay away from you in the future." β
Hearing Lindsay's complaint, Sid rolled his eyes in tears.
You must know that in European and American societies, the term "role-playing" is mostly used for some kind of indescribable private game between lovers and couples, rather than a two-dimensional term for anime lovers like RB on the other side of the ocean.
Well, I'm talking about 50 shades of grey, 50 shades of dark, 50 shades of flying, and so on.
So as soon as Lindsay said this, the driver and bodyguard in the front seat of the car couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Sid had to raise his hands and "surrender" and said: "Okay, okay, I have served you, let's say, what did you learn in school, how do you know these things." β
"I'm not a little girl anymore, Brother Sid. Hearing Sid's doting tone, Lindsay immediately puffed out his chest and said.
Lindsay, who has just turned 15, is no longer the quirky little girl she was when she first met Sid a few years ago.
Although there is still a bit of childish youth and freckles, now Lindsay has entered puberty, her body has begun to twitch, her waist has a curve, and her delicate eyes have begun to exude a little bit of a little woman's charming temperament.
Sid looked Lindsay up and down, then smiled evilly, "Well, our Lindsay is indeed not a little girl anymore, so I have decided that from now on, you will only be allowed to wear Muslim robes." β
"Haha, don't make a fuss, Brother Sid. Lindsey laughed.
"Boss, the organizers are here. At this moment, Remus, the captain of the bodyguard in the front row, said.
Sid and the others looked back, only to see a large group of people led by a suit-run uncle, who walked to the gate of the hotel, obviously for them.
"Then let's go down, they should be in a hurry. Sid said lightly, then opened the door and led the way down.
"Hello, welcome to San Diego, Mr. Sid Leonhardt. A middle-aged elite uncle who is over half a hundred years old came to welcome Sid with a group of staff.
"Hello, may I ask you?" asked Sid with a smile.
"Look at me, I'm Richard Off, and I'm the current president of the San Diego Comic-Con organizing committee. Richard Off, the current president of San Diego Comic-Con, replied enthusiastically.
"Hehe, you just call me Sid, Richard. Sid said with a smile, and then he turned to introduce Lindsay who was following behind, "This is Lindsay, she came with me." β
"The famous Hannah Montana, how could I not know. Richard Auve clearly did his homework and shook Lindsay's hand warmly.
And Xiao Nizi was quickly moved by the other party's enthusiasm, and shook hands with each other with a smile.
"Alright, let's go inside. Sid said to him with a smile.
"Okay, everybody, please come with me. Richard Auve then led the group into the hotel.
