Recently, the reporter learned from the Organizing Committee of the Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Awards that the 15th anniversary celebration of the Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Awards will be held in May 2024 at the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum. A few days ago, Chengdu Time Illusion Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Time Illusion"), the main operating unit of the "Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award", moved to Maker Park and actively prepared for the 15th anniversary celebration.
It is understood that the "Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award" was co-founded by Dong Renwei, a science fiction activist and chairman of Time Illusion, Yao Haijun, a science fiction publisher, and Wu Yan, a science fiction scholar, in Chengdu. As the first high-level public welfare science fiction award covering the entire industry of science fiction creation, the award is known as an authoritative award recognized by the Chinese science fiction industry, a professional award in the field of Chinese science fiction in the world, and an honorary award for global Chinese science fiction literature.
As the main operating unit of the "Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award", since its establishment, Time Illusion has been held in Chengdu, Beijing, Chongqing and other places for 14 sessions, awarding a large number of science fiction writers and science fiction industry leaders such as Liu Cixin, Wang Jinkang, Han Song, He Xi, Hao Jingfang, Guo Fan, etc., whose award-winning works have had a significant impact on the development of Chinese science fiction in China and even the world. This time, Time Illusion relocated to Pidu, what are the long-term plans?What is the help for the science fiction industry in Pidu?Recently, the reporter walked into the company to explore the story behind it.
Moved to Science and Technology Innovation City.
Help the development of Pidu's science fiction industry.
From the beginning of September, the two sides began to make preliminary contact, and by the middle of September, the agreement was signed and the decoration was completed, and normal operation began.
Chengdu Science Fiction Museum is full of science fiction, after we inspected many science fiction-related award facilities across the country, we think that this is the best position and platform to show the power of Chinese science fiction, and the organizing committee of the Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award is in Chengdu, so we think it is very good and suitable to hold it in the birthplace. Talking about the relocation of Pidu, Dong Renwei said that the 81st World Science Fiction Convention landed in Pidu, which will undoubtedly polish Pidu as the signboard of Chengdu Science Fiction Center, and gather the attention of the science fiction circle and industry with the trend of brand first, which will promote Pidu step by step towards China's science fiction highland, and he is very optimistic about the development of the science fiction industry here. In addition, Chengdu is a city with a deep science fiction culture, and in recent years, a number of companies and science fiction writers have emerged to explore and develop science fiction culture in depth.
Dong Renwei introduced: "Although I am not from Chengdu, I have been engaged in science fiction in Chengdu for more than 60 years, and the team members of Time Illusion also live and work in Chengdu. There is a strong atmosphere of science fiction creation and good policies, which allows us to see the confidence and determination of Chengdu to develop the science fiction industry!”
It is understood that in this relocation to Pidu, Time Illusion and Pidu have reached a series of agreements, one of which is to settle the 15th Global Chinese Science Fiction Nebula Award Carnival in 2024 in the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum in Pidu. At that time, many science fiction writers and science fiction industry leaders at home and abroad will gather in Pidu to jointly improve the future of science fiction in the world and help the development of Pidu's science fiction industry.
Long-term planning. Polishing the new business card of Pidu's science fiction industry.
Chengdu has a deep science fiction gene, "Science Fiction World" was founded here, and "Three-Body Problem" went abroad from here. After 5 years of fantasy, the 81st World Science Fiction Convention landed in Pidu. This is the first time that the World Science Fiction Convention has come to China, filling the gap of China's hosting of world-class science fiction events, and writing a wonderful beginning for China in the history of the World Science Fiction Convention. With the successful convening of the science fiction conference, Chengdu is accelerating its butterfly transformation and further building its business card as the "science fiction capital of China", and also promoting the rapid development of China's science fiction industry and industry.
For the development of science fiction industry and industry, it needs the right time, place and many helping factors. In Dong Renwei's view, now here, there is infrastructure and industrial policies, and the science fiction industry needs to further expand the industrial chain and promote the all-round exploration of the development of the science fiction science industry. In this regard, he looked forward to the future, Time Illusion will be centered on the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, attracting the upstream and downstream industrial chains of science fiction to develop here, and creating new economic growth points and huge industrial chainsAt the same time, with the Nebula Award as the benchmark, we will extend the creation of the Children's Fantasy Nebula Award to promote the development of children's fiction.
We must realize that the science fiction industry chain is a whole, at present, the foundation of the entire industry chain is not no industry, but no economic benefits, for this reason, non-governmental organizations should unite and work together with the best to promote the development of China's science fiction industry!Dong Renwei said.
At present, on the shore of Jingrong Lake, Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, World Science Fiction Park and other supporting projects have made a wonderful appearance, the south extension of Wangcong Temple Street and the Taiqing Road Bridge have been completed and opened to traffic, and pan-science fiction projects such as Chengdu Chuangshi Hansha Technology have also settled in successively. An imaginative science and technology innovation city has begun to operate, showing a vigorous development trend.
