Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, April 27 (Internship reporter Wang Wenjie) On the 27th, at the 2024 Eighth China Science Fiction Conference held in Shougang Park, Shijingshan District, Beijing, the "2024 China Science Fiction Industry Report" was released. In 2023, the total revenue of China's science fiction industry will be 113.29 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.1%. This is the first time that the total revenue of my country's science fiction industry has exceeded the 100 billion mark.
"2024 China Science Fiction Industry Report" was jointly released by the China Science Fiction Research Center and the Science and Human Imagination Research Center of Southern University of Science and Technology. Wang Ting, director of the China Science Fiction Research Center, said that since 2016, my country has begun to collect statistics on the revenue of the science fiction industry. The total revenue that year was only 10 billion yuan. By 2023, it has increased by about 10 times in eight years.
This total revenue also includes a set of eye-catching data. The total revenue of China's science fiction game industry in 2023 is 65.19 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.4%; the total revenue of China's science fiction cultural tourism industry in 2023 is 31.06 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.4%. An increase of 106.7%. China's science fiction game industry is the largest, and the science fiction cultural tourism industry has grown significantly.
This gratifying growth data is also inseparable from the "going overseas" of Chinese science fiction products.
The "China Science Fiction Overseas Communication Report (2018-2023)" released by the China Science Fiction Research Center on the 27th showed that from 2018 to 2023, the global search popularity of Chinese science fiction increased year by year, and reached the peak of search popularity in 2023. It was nearly 37 times higher in 2018. From the comprehensive analysis of the communication index, the average communication index of science fiction game IP is as high as 82.73.
The overseas influence of my country’s science fiction works is gradually increasing, and the pace of “going global” is increasing.
Wang Ting gave an example. In recent years, science fiction games have been organically integrated with China’s excellent traditional culture and have become an important medium for overseas cultural dissemination. For example, the science fiction game "Honkai: Star Railroad", which ranks second in the overseas communication index, organically integrates the texture of science fiction with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and integrates traditional Huizhou architecture into the virtual scene to form a unique "Xianzhou Luofu" The world view is loved by players all over the world.
Wang Ting said that overall, the integration and development trend of various forms of China's science fiction industry has been obvious in the past year, and China's science fiction industry is accelerating its development. (Science and Technology Daily)
