Zhang Zhong did not go to the airport to pick up Hilde with the people from the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association. He went directly to the office of the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association.
Previously, there was no relatively formal science fiction association in Jiangyang or even the entire Nanhuai. They were generally private organizations organized voluntarily by science fiction enthusiasts.
Usually each school will have its own science fiction association. For example, Jiangyang University, where Zhang Zhong graduated, has established a science fiction association a long time ago. It has a history of nearly twenty years and is one of the oldest associations in the school.
However, the Science Fiction Association of Jiangyang University suddenly started to rise in the past few years. In the past, it was just history and no one cared about it.
Later, Nanhuai established the Nanhuai Science Popularization Writers Association.
The name Popular Science Writers Association has Chinese characteristics.
Although it sounds like there is only one word difference from the Science Fiction Association, the difference is huge.
Later, in order to follow the trend, the Nanhuai Province Science Writers Association established a science fiction professional committee in 2019.
In a sense, the Science Fiction Professional Committee of the Nanhuai Science Writers Association is the Nanhuai Science Fiction Association.
The result is that after the Nanhuai Science Writers Association set up a science fiction professional committee, Jiangyang City also set up a science fiction special creation and development association, which is now the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association.
When Zhang Zhong was not so famous, the Jiangyang Science Fiction Special Creation and Development Association and the Science Fiction Professional Committee of the Nanhuai Science Writers Association worked together. Their office areas were not only on the same floor, but also door to door.
But then Zhang Zhong became more and more popular, and then Jiangyang wanted to apply for science fiction. The government of Jiangyang began to pay attention to it, and directly transferred the Jiangyang Science Fiction Special Creation and Development Association from its original work unit and transferred it to the New International Convention and Exhibition Center.
.
After the Jiangyang World Science Fiction Convention came to a successful conclusion, the Jiangyang Science Fiction Special Creation and Development Association moved again and moved its office to the Chinese Science Fiction City.
The Science Fiction City is still under construction, but a temporary office building has been built to provide office space for the Jiangyang Science Fiction Association.
Of course, working here is just a temporary measure. After the entire China Science Fiction City is completed, not only the Jiangyang Science Fiction Special Creation and Development Association, but also the Science Fiction Professional Committee of the Nanhuai Science Writers Association will have a place there.
Office.
So Zhang Zhong went directly to China Science Fiction City.
When he arrived, Hilde had not come yet, and not many people from the entire Nanhuai Science Fiction Association were at home.
The staff respectfully invited Zhang Zhong to the rest area and poured him a cup of tea, "Teacher Zhang, please sit here for a while while the director and others go to pick up Mr. Hilde and should be back in half an hour."
"
Zhang Dian nodded, "It's okay, there's no rush, you can go ahead and do your work, I'll be fine here by myself."
After the staff left, Zhang Zhong walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the rest area with his teacup in hand.
Looking out from the floor where he is standing now, he can see the whole panoramic view of the Chinese Science Fiction City.
The Sci-Fi City with a total area of more than 2,000 acres does not look special now, because the construction site is still building a basement, and there is only a large pit of more than 2,000 acres in front of him.
For such a large building complex, the basement is definitely very important, because the basement is also the foundation of the entire building complex.
After the basement is completed, the progress of subsequent construction should be much faster.
However, I heard that the Jiangyang Municipal Government is already planning the second phase of the Science Fiction City, which will be located next to the current Chinese Science Fiction City. The confidence of the Jiangyang Municipal Government mainly comes from the World Science Fiction Convention that just passed in the summer.
The World Science Fiction Convention has brought very considerable revenue to Jiangyang City. This revenue can not only enhance the Jiangyang Municipal Government's determination to build a Chinese science fiction base, but also provide economic support for subsequent base construction.
The money earned during that period can be allocated to funds for science fiction construction.
However, Zhang Zhong has also heard about the second issue, and Zhang Zhong does not know whether the specific matter is true or false.
Some people have said before that if the China Science Fiction City is really built, it may affect the operation of the Tiwang Exhibition Hall. After all, the Tiwang Exhibition Hall and the China Science Fiction City are somewhat similar in type.
And the two places are very close, only less than five kilometers.
However, Zhang Zhong is not worried at all. Not only is he not worried about the Huaxia Science Fiction City, but he is looking forward to the Huaxia Science Fiction City becoming a big hit.
The relationship between Zhuwang Exhibition Hall and China Science Fiction City is definitely not rivals, but a relationship of interdependence and mutual improvement.
If you focus on a small Jiangyang, the market is so big, and of course it may not be enough to be divided by two companies.
But as long as they take a longer view, to Nanhuai, China and even the whole world, and make the cake bigger, there will be no question of whether to divide it or not.
Because once the cake gets bigger, I’m afraid neither the Tiwang Exhibition Hall nor the China Science Fiction City will be able to digest it all.
Not only does the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall not need to regard the Chinese Science Fiction City as an opponent, science fiction bases in other places do not need to regard the Chinese Science Fiction City as an opponent. What they want to do is a bigger cake than imagined.
In order to make the cake bigger, Zhang Zhong only recently considered whether to create a science fiction world, just like the detective world he planned before.
At the Jiangyang World Science Fiction Convention, Zhang Zhong had a dream collaboration with Linde, Llorente and Penny Austin, and the effect was extraordinary.
This opened up a new idea for them. They are all writers with many works. Can they find works with similar worldviews from their works and then blend them together to form a science fiction world and complete a real fantasy?
Linkage.
If you want to accomplish this, there is basically only one person in the world who can do it, and that is Zhang Zhong himself.
Because he has money, IP, and connections.
As long as Zhang Zhong goes to discuss with Llorente and the others and then pays them accordingly, they should be willing to cooperate with Zhang Zhong.
As long as you can get these well-known writers in the industry, it will be much easier to do the work of other writers.
Zhang Zhong can predict that after this science fiction era is launched, some writers may beg Zhang Zhong to include their works in it.
But at that time, there is no need to combine existing works. As long as there is a unified world view and this world view is released, science fiction writers will naturally create works according to this world view.
What Zhang Zhong has to consider now is how to deal with the copyright issues of these works in the future. Once this issue is not resolved, Zhang Zhong may suffer backlash in the future.
