"In order to survive, Yang Xiao had to change the positioning of the magazine, but she never gave up. She had a great ambition.
In the same year, the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) invited her to attend the annual meeting in San Marino. Yang Xiao single-handedly attended the annual meeting, dragging a heavy book box full of journals, and represented China, defeating rival Poland and winning the
The right to host the 1991 Wsfs annual meeting.
After returning, something unexpected happened again.
Some people complained to the organization, claiming that they had connections with foreign countries and were cultivating bourgeois writers.
This hat is too big!
Relevant leaders of the SC Association for Science and Technology took Yang Xiao to Beijing to appeal, and went to one ministry after another to explain.
The efforts finally paid off, and the country agreed to hold the Wsfs annual meeting in Chengdu. However, at this time, due to changes in the international climate, Wsfs withdrew the right to host Chengdu.
So Yang Xiao set out again. In order to save money, he first took a train to Russia, and then took a train to The Hague, crossing the Eurasian continent for eight days and eight nights.
Looking at it today, this behavior itself is full of science fiction.
When the group arrived at The Hague, their legs were all swollen, but they still showed their best and immediately started lobbying to regain the right to host the event.
From TV films introducing Sichuan to postcards, to hotels, to conference agendas, to the development of science fiction in China, to Wolong giant pandas...the efforts in all aspects deeply shocked the representatives from various countries.
We regained the right to host the 1991 Wsfs Annual Meeting!"
"..."
The whole place was silent, with only one lamp and one beam of light, one person was telling the story of the difficult journey of Chinese science fiction.
“The annual meeting was a great success, with 45 writers from Asia, Europe, and America and 150 Chinese writers gathered in Chengdu.
We all went to Wolong to see the giant pandas. Science fiction writers from three continents gathered around the bonfire and danced local dances to celebrate this science fiction festival.
Wang Fu, deputy editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" who was present at the time, said: "Chinese science fiction has a bright future!" Yes, this was the voice of everyone at the time. Chinese science fiction has a bright future!
After the annual meeting, "Qi Tan" was changed to "Science Fiction World", which is still used today.
In the 1990s, the science fiction craze re-emerged. The monthly circulation of "Science Fiction World" increased from 7,000 copies in 1991 to more than 200,000 copies in 1996, and jumped to 400,000 copies in 2000, far exceeding several science fiction magazines in the United States and becoming a global
First.
In 2002, Yang Xiao resigned!"
Liu Cixin also spoke with some emotion, with choked up words, saying: "During the science fiction craze in the 1990s, a new generation of writers emerged, including me.
When we put the imagination in our minds into writing with full of love and sincerity, we are lucky enough to have "Science Fiction World" so that we don't even have a place to submit.
Today, traditional magazines are in decline, and "Science Fiction World" has also encountered many difficulties. But it is still holding on, retaining the last fertile ground for Chinese science fiction literature.
Today I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, and we have also invited Teacher Yang Xiao, who is here..."
Snapped!
Another beam of light shone down on Yang Xiao in the audience. The little old lady covered her face, but she stood up and waved in greeting.
By the way, she is the daughter of a provincial official, otherwise she would not be able to withstand the pressure and continue working on "Science Fiction World".
But this does not hinder her achievements. On the contrary, she can transport magazines on a tricycle and collect manuscripts from school to school on a broken bicycle, which is even more admirable.
"Whoosh!"
Science fiction fans are very familiar with Yang Xiao, and most people don't know it, but Liu Cixin's story can arouse the empathy of many people, and he is not stingy with his own applause.
Yang Xiao walked onto the stage and said a few words calmly: "Actually, my time has passed. My mission is to make "Science Fiction World" well and keep this flame burning. Next, it depends on you!
"
"Whoosh!"
Liu Cixin helped Yang Xiao go down, and Yu Jiajia came up.
As soon as she appeared, her style changed instantly.
This is the biggest boss in the entertainment industry. There are countless gossips and scandals, all of which are related to female stars. The most outrageous one is a piece of Hong Kong news: "Reika Reis' marriage changed, a mainland female CEO attacked a wealthy lady, and Xu Jinheng vomited blood and wore a green crown."
!”
The Hong Kong media has no moral integrity and is used to making false claims, but it also proves Mr. Yu’s image.
At this moment, Yu Jiajia stood on the stage, with a rare seriousness, and said: "When planning my part, I chose many themes, and finally chose science fiction.
We have already mentioned in "Brother Qian'er's Kitchen" that science fiction is the genre that best represents and can best promote the development of the film industry.
What does China show to others in the new era?
Still watching red lanterns? Cheongsam? Peking opera? Jasmine? That means we have done nothing in the past few decades and have no modern achievements!
But is that true? Of course not!
With our large infrastructure, our industrial machinery, and our aerospace, we can go up to the sky to see the moon! We can go to the stars and the sea!
So we chose science fiction. We support "Science Fiction World" and the Galaxy Awards. We want to bring a science fiction conference to China for the first time (science fiction conferences and annual conferences are not the same thing). We will launch a Hollywood study program for emerging directors next year.
We have formulated a series of strategies to open the door to Chinese science fiction!"
Yu Jiajia suddenly turned around and pointed her finger: "This is part of our film list!
boom!
The big screen lights up, music explodes, and a big timeline hits everyone's eyes. Starting from 2012, as the timeline moves forward, one or several film and television works pop up.
In addition to the previously introduced "Superbody", "Her" and "The Witch", there are also: "The Night the Comet Came", written and directed by James Ward Bookett, with a budget of 500,000 US dollars (the original version was only 50,000 US dollars), and plans to shoot
The time is 2012!
"Ex Machina", written and directed by Alex Garland, has a budget of US$15 million and is scheduled to be shot in 2013!
"Upgrade", written and directed by Leigh Whannell, has 8 episodes in the first season, with a budget of US$25 million, and is planned to be filmed in 2014!
"Female Robot", starring Ye Zimei, Chiko Aoyama...ah!
The timeline spans a lot, and it can be seen that this is a long-term plan, including movies, TV series, literature and art, and commercial projects.
If the project has been clearly established, the information will be more detailed. If the shooting is planned but the time is far away, the information will be simple.
As the timeline advanced to the end, another big title popped up, which was the end point of 99 Entertainment's science fiction strategy and a new starting point: "The Wandering Earth"!
Oops!
The whole party was so lofty, it was as high as four or five stories.
Apart from e-commerce confidentiality, nothing has been disclosed. The direction is obvious: to develop a large ecosystem of smart life, to develop AI, and to develop a film industry system!
In 1999, I did not regard myself as an Internet company, but as a pioneer who overcame all obstacles and looked down upon my peers.
…”I am disgusted with calling a company, or an entrepreneur, the XXX era.
I would rather say that there is never an era of XXX, there is only someone in the era.
When we are doing the Internet, what can we do if we don’t have the power of the state to build infrastructure and improve network speed? When we are doing e-commerce, what can we do if there is no state to build bridges, pave roads, and provide water, electricity, and the Internet?
The next 10 years will be the 10 years for the 99 Group to move forward bravely, and it will also be the 10 years for China to rise as a great power. We are with the times, and we are with you! "At the end of the party, Yao Yuan was sublime and looked at the big screen.
Countdown: "Thank you for your four hours of companionship tonight. We will usher in a new year. As usual, let us..."
He held out the microphone.
"10,9,8...4,3,2,1!"
Bang bang bang!
Colorful ribbons were flying on the stage, ushering in 2012. At the same time, a familiar prelude music sounded, filling the brain with magical sounds.
"No!"
"No way!"
"impossible!"
The audience shouted one by one, then held their heads, and saw the man and woman who were very nationalistic appeared cheerfully, and sang: "The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains..."
The style of painting suddenly changed.
How lofty and classy it was in front of me, how down-to-earth it is now.
The scene instantly broke away from the serious atmosphere and became cheerful, with a group of people jumping around to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
This scene made the ordinary audience happy, but the friends and businessmen were horrified: Yao Yuanda knew what the people wanted, and he could always choose the right path!
