Netizens are right, the number of applicants for the Jiangyang World Science Fiction Convention has exceeded all previous science fiction conventions.
Zhang Zhong's reputation certainly played a role in the process, but the most important factor was the large number of Chinese people.
Although participating in the World Science Fiction Convention requires paying an additional fee of 600 to 1,200 yuan on top of the original membership, with such a large population base in China, there are many people who can afford this money.
After all, this is the first time such a science fiction event is held in Asia. In addition to science fiction fans, there are also many non-science fiction fans who will come to join in the fun.
The Jiangyang World Science Fiction Convention has stimulated China's science fiction market. Recently, many people have been asking how to participate in the World Science Fiction Convention.
It’s not just a matter of membership fees, they also hope to be included in such a grand event.
The most common answer given by netizens is to let them read more science fiction novels. As long as they read enough science fiction novels, they will not feel like spectators at the World Science Fiction Convention, but will be able to truly participate.
Therefore, domestic science fiction novels have been selling very well recently.
In order to prevent the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall from being able to accommodate all members, the Jiangyang government has begun to build an international convention and exhibition center that is more than a thousand meters away from the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall.
When the two venues go hand in hand, it should not cause an overly crowded scene.
As for the kilometer in between, there is no need to worry. The government has already planned to set up a circular bus route to go back and forth between the two places.
The distance of more than a thousand meters takes ten or twenty minutes to walk, but it only takes two minutes by car, so there will be no delay.
Moreover, more than a thousand meters of road in the middle has been built into a commercial district, which can also promote the development of this commercial street.

During the live broadcast, Zhang Zhong said that he mainly spent time with his family during this period, which was a joke.
In previous years, he would take his family to run around and play around in the summer, but his work did not fall behind.
This time is the same. Although he is not planning to release a new book in the past two months, in addition to still having inventory on hand, he is also currently writing "Blind Spot 2" and has already written a lot. It is expected to be completed in another month.
In addition to "Blind Spot 2", he is also refining the detective world he built previously.
He was already thinking about how to make Langdon, Harry, and Yukawa appear in a book.
As for Poirot, his time was quite different from the others.
Among these three people, the only one who may have interacted with Poirot was Harry.
Poirot died in 1975. There is actually not much controversy about the time of Poirot's death. Because it is clearly explained in "Curtain" that Poirot suffered from being unable to find evidence to bring the murderer to justice.
You can only kill the murderer yourself and then commit suicide.
But there are many opinions about Poirot's birth date, including 1850, 1840, and 1860.
However, the more credible date is 1864, but even if he was born in 1864, Poirot lived to be 111 years old.
This situation occurred because Agatha did not expect that the character of Poirot would be so popular when she created it, so she wrote him too old, so that he became older as he was written later.
But if we just put it this way, then only Harry can overlap with Poirot.
Harry first appeared in "Bat" in 1997. Harry was thirty-two years old at that time, which means that Harry was born in 1965.
Harry was eleven years old when Poirot died, and there was some possibility that the two would meet.
But even if the two of them were arranged to meet, it would be of little significance, because Harry was just a little kid at that time and could not have too many scenes.
Zhang Zhong had thought about getting Holmes out before, because the time of Holmes and Poirot overlapped a lot.
But Holmes was born in 1854, earlier than Poirot, and most likely died before Poirot.
As for why it is said to be a high probability, it is because Zhang Zhong did not know when Holmes died.
Conan Doyle wrote Holmes to death once before, in 1891, when Holmes was only thirty-seven years old.
But later, when readers saw that Holmes was dead, they protested one after another. Under pressure, Conan Doyle had to bring Holmes back to life.
As for when and how Holmes died, Zhang Zhong did not know.
But in any case, Holmes is older than Poirot, so he cannot act as a transitional figure between Poirot and other detectives.
Therefore, during this period of time, Zhang Zhong was thinking about how to complete the timeline.
In the middle, Zhang Zhong also considered releasing Robin, but this guy is a gangster. If he were to appear in the detective world, he would either be beaten by other detectives, or he would be playing tricks on them all the time.
Because even if Robin is a thief, all he steals are ill-gotten gains.
But in the eyes of other detectives, thieves are also thieves, and robbing the rich and giving to the poor is not acceptable.
Just like Poirot, he committed suicide after killing the murderer because he believed that he had violated the principles in his heart.
Throughout Poirot's life, it was only in "Murder on the Orient Express" that he truly "compromised" his crime.
Anyway, letting Robin appear in the world of detectives seems to be a very awkward choice.
So Zhang Zhong gave up this idea.
Although he has not yet thought of a way to fill this vacancy, Zhang Zhong is not in a hurry. This detective world cannot be created overnight.
At worst, if he can't find a suitable detective to fill this vacancy later, he will create another one, just like he created Qin Lang.
However, Zhang Zhong currently has no inspiration for creating a new detective, and it is impossible for him to copy one based on other detectives.
In his conception, all detectives in this detective world are different, and each detective has its own characteristics.
After he completes these main frames, he will also add some other "detectives" to this detective world, such as Luo Fei in Zhou Haohui's work, Fang Mu in Remi's work, and Qin Ming in Qin Ming's work. These characters all have a lot to offer.
place.
And he now has a novel in Luo Fei's series - "The Evil Hypnotist".
This novel has been drawn for a long time, but it has always been in Zhang Zhong's hands, and he has not yet found an appropriate time to publish it.
After Zhang Zhong has roughly figured out the detective world he built, he will consider bringing Luo Fei into it first. Zhang Zhong is even considering adding Qin Lang to "Evil Hypnotist" and letting him play a supporting role.
After all, in front of Luo Fei, an old detective, Qin Lang is still a younger brother for the time being.
