In Chengdu, 8,000 cafes, 10,000 teahouses, 20,000 hot pot restaurants, and 300,000 restaurants fill the city with fireworks; 200 museums and 4,000 bookstores provide spiritual nourishment to the people; 4,500 music performances are held throughout the year Activities such as these are constantly exciting and enrich the cultural life of more than 21 million citizens. They not only provide diverse scenes for film and television creation, but also provide a huge market for the dissemination of film and television works. In the first half of this year, the number of moviegoers in the city was nearly 16 million, ranking third in the country.
"Chengdu is an important force in Chinese film creation" "Chengdu's themes can resonate with young people" "Chengdu films, while maintaining local characteristics, can transcend regional and cultural boundaries and resonate with global audiences"... …In recent interviews, experts, scholars, and industry insiders have said that the splendid Bashu culture and unique humanistic temperament have given birth to rich film and television creation resources.
At the same time, with "science fiction" as the keyword, Chengdu Film is facing the future. From " The Wandering Earth " to " Universe Exploration Editorial Department ", the relationship between high-profile science fiction blockbusters and Chengdu is not only a geographical connection, but also a cultural and spiritual resonance. At the same time, science fiction movies have further promoted the development and prosperity of Chengdu's cultural industry, making the city shine even more dazzlingly in the field of science fiction. In 2023, the China (Chengdu) International Science Fiction Conference will be held, which will become an important opportunity to promote international cultural exchanges and promote the development of science fiction.
