China ’s largest anime fan show Comicup opened in Shanghai two years after two years. Anime enthusiasts in various places flocked to show the strong recovery of the“ secondary economy ”.
Comicup, which is referred to as "CP", is held once every six months.However, affected by the Shanghai epidemic and closed control, since June 2021, the exhibition has been postponed three times.The number of booths at the current (29th) exhibition has increased from 4,000 to nearly 15,000 in the previous session, and the number of viewers is expected to double to 200,000.
Lianhe Zaobao reporter arrived at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center at 9:30 am on Tuesday (May 2).At this time, it was half an hour before the opening of the exhibition, but the teams in the front row of the venue have been winding for several kilometers, including many of the Cosplayer who dressed up.An exhibitor told reporters that nearly 200,000 tickets were sold out early, and hundreds of people lined up the night outside the night.
The 26 -year -old Lu Chuying flew from Zhuhai, Guangdong to Shanghai on Monday, arrived at the exhibition site at 9 am the next day, and queued for more than an hour before entering the field.Although she had participated in the long and small exhibitions before, she was still shocked by the popularity of the CP exhibition: "It is expected that there will be a lot of people at the scene.The museum has been squeezed back. No wonder everyone said that this is the "secondary military training '."
As the number of visitors exceeds expectations, traffic control is temporarily adopted around the venue to restrict vehicle entry.At the scene, the organizer was also reported to cancel the ticket inspection in order to ease off -site congestion, which led to the news of a large number of ticket -free visitors entering the venue.When the reporter visited the venue around 2 pm, the entrance had been restored to the entrance, but there were still many visitors who did not buy tickets to wait outside the field.
The "two -dimensional military training" scene of crowded people also made Shanghai citizens' eyes open.Mr. Li, 77 -year -old resident of Pudong, told reporters that he missed the Shanghai Auto Show, which was closed last week, and decided to go to the National Convention and Exhibition Center during the May Day holiday to see what exhibitions can visit."I didn't expect to be all young people, and wearing strange clothes, we couldn't understand it at all."
Although it is unknown to the anime exhibition and did not buy tickets, Mr. Li and his wife stopped watching outside the field.He lamented: "It can attract so many young people, everyone is so energetic, this animation market is incredible."
The "two -dimensional" economy composed of plane works such as animation, comics and games has developed into a huge market with hundreds of millions of audiences in China.According to the Irai Consultation Research Report, the size of the two -dimensional user in China was 420 million in 2020 and it is expected to reach 500 million this year.
In addition to CP, Shanghai also launched multiple anime -related exhibitions, concerts and promotional activities during the May Day Golden Week to attract anime enthusiasts from all over China to check in.The Bailian ZX ZX Chuangqu Field, located on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street launched the limited edition of the online Ark of the online game, triggers a large number of game fans to buy it.According to Shanghai Oriental Satellite TV reports, the first day of the "May 1" holiday this year's "May 1st" holiday this year, even more than 10 times larger than the Paradise Mall of the Paradise Mall, last year, it promoted the passenger flow of the New Year.
