Chapter 167: Event
When the plane flew from Yanjing to Los Angeles, netizens began to practice for this delegation on the Internet, looking forward to returning with a full load this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When they arrived in the City of Angels, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Lin Han originally wanted to go down for a stroll, but the staff with him tried their best to dissuade them.
It's one of the most unsafe cities in the country at night, and it's notoriously home barbed and gang-ridden, and foreign tourists like these are probably the best targets for them.
Lin Han sat in the car, briefly browsing the scenery on both sides of the highway through the car window, "It's a pity that I can't get out of the car, otherwise it's not bad to enjoy Hollywood, see the Avenue of Stars and the Chinese Theater." ”
"You'll have a chance from tomorrow, I'm still a little tired from coming today, I just want to get some sleep. Li Wenyuan yawned, "After all, people are here, and their bodies are not as good as these young people." ”
"You just lack exercise, if you get up early or run a few kilometers at night every day, your body won't be so weak!" Lin Han actively suggested, how can your body be good if you work in front of the computer or desk for a long time but don't get up to exercise.
Fortunately, the hotel was booked in advance, otherwise the group would have been sleeping on the streets, and a few people who had just come to the World Science Fiction Convention at the front desk of the hotel walked away because there were no rooms.
……
The next morning, the city comes alive as the five-day World Science Fiction Convention begins.
Among so many people in the Chinese delegation, only Lin Han was in good spirits, and the rest were a little tired because of the jet lag.
Arriving at the venue by car, Lin Han saw that many real sci-fi fans were already waiting outside the venue, and this giant party was about to kick off.
Participating in the World Science Fiction Convention is not only about meeting famous homes, but also about the communication and interaction between science fiction fans, getting to know each other and understanding each other's culture through works and games.
Anyone who attends the conference, whether it's a science fiction writer, a publisher, a reader, or just a crowd of tourists, will be able to find the fun of the event here.
According to the app released by the conference, there is a special place to play board games and video games in the largest venue and exhibition hall, and anyone can participate in the game at any time.
You could be playing against a Hugo Award winner, Dungeons & Dragons with best-selling authors, or a Hollywood producer in the crowd.
Lin Han's eyes stayed on the large game venue in the middle, where different games were held every day, and today was a real-life version of Angry Birds, organized by the developers of Angry Birds on the spot, using boxes and stuffed bird dolls to play.
In addition, the lifelike zombie makeup next to it is very eye-catching, and Hollywood's special effects makeup team came to the scene to create the perfect makeup for enthusiasts, and even change into clothes, completely achieving the effect of fake and real!
"Now everyone is free to move, but don't forget our mission, our bid booth is on the right side of the hall, and now it has started to be set up, we just went over to help promote it. ”
Yao Lingfeng pointed to the area in the distance, which was the place where the battle for the right to host the event was taking place, and each city was doing everything they could to canvass for votes for itself, and the invisible smoke of gunpowder was spreading.
Lin Han nodded, he was already gearing up, he had never participated in such an event in two lifetimes, he had no money and no opportunity to participate in his previous life, but now he can have a good time.
The delegation soon separated, and Li Wenyuan planned to go to the café on the side to buy coffee to refresh himself, which is also a place for many science fiction writers to explore. Lin Han was the opposite of them, he wanted to go to the pavilion to play these games.
Compared with the serious participants in the discussion, Lin Han is more like a tourist, as if he is not canvassing for his novel at all, knowing that the voting results are about to be announced.
Lin Han wore a sign to prove his identity, strolling between the exhibition halls of the venue, and he saw several models of spaceships in the game area, which appeared in the science fiction movie he had recently made up!
"Are these real? It's so similar!" a young man in his twenties lay directly on the side of the model, enviously wanting to reach out and touch it, but he controlled his movements.
These ships are all from the popular sci-fi movie series "Starfield", and the small sign next to them indicates their identity, which is really an exhibition project arranged by Universal Pictures!
What surprised Lin Han the most was the props of "Doctor Who", people could also drill into it to play it, and say some undisciplined words through the sound processor, and walk around the venue, attracting people to take pictures.
Tickets to the conference are not cheap, but they still can't stop the enthusiasm of science fiction fans, and there are even grandparents who bring their grandchildren and granddaughters to see the exhibition.
Hollywood's major manufacturers did not miss this opportunity, not only to seek copyright cooperation themselves, but also to bring their own company's sci-fi movie peripherals to the scene.
This is not only to expand the popularity, but more importantly, to give science fiction writers the confidence that our company can also make your work so classic and loved!
Whether it's the spaceship control room, or simulating space battles, dodging meteorites, and even Lin Han saw the classic Iron Throne of Game of Thrones!
There are too many fans queuing up to take a photo with the Iron Throne, and it is obviously a World Science Fiction Convention, but this fantasy novel has been added, but no one has any objection to this.
Lin Han lined up at the back of the line with great interest, and he began to plan what he wanted to play in the limited time, playing a game can get a ribbon, a total of fifty ribbons with different meanings are hidden in various places of the conference.
If you participate in the bull riding event, you can get the "I-rode-the-bull" ribbon, if you participate in the zombie role, you can get the achievement "I-walked-with-zombie", you can also get a ribbon for taking photos of the Iron Throne, and even the Hugo Award nominees have a ribbon, and everyone knows that they are in the same way when they see them on the road.
Choosing a domineering posture to sit on the Iron Throne, Lin Han said to the person in charge of taking pictures in front of him: "Can I take another picture? Use my mobile phone, it's more convenient." ”
Here are all photos given away immediately after the scene is taken, but the electronic version will not be given, so if Lin Han wants to send a Weibo or a circle of friends, he has to use his mobile phone.
Most of the scenes were taken in these two ways, and everyone was happy without complaints.
With a wide variety of projects that allow almost everyone to participate, this sci-fi event will surely attract a lot of attention if it appears in China! )
