Hollywood legendary director

The 2010 Golden State Comic Exhibition is the 41st since its inception. Some photos released before have attracted countless people with lofty ideals. Olson is one of them.

On July 5, two days before the start, Olsen set off from his hometown of Clark County, Arkansas.

When he set off, he was full of expectation, because this was his first time participating in the Golden State Comic Exhibition. However, he had seen some group photos uploaded by many other exhibitors on Facebook. The atmosphere in the photos was just right, and he also learned from others. The channel learned that this time Hasbro and Paramount jointly released the concept poster of the Battle of Chicago ("Transformers 3") and the participation of some other big companies. The other is the hardcore cosplayers-last year, a sister paper company Cos' World of Warcraft Mag'han Orc's shape, directly swiping the screen on Facebook makes him unforgettable, he wants to go to the scene to experience this circle in person.

To say that this trip with a certain expectation is really something that Olson, who is introverted, cannot resist.

In fact, he rarely goes out. The world is different. Mobile phones and computers form a new channel for receiving and expressing information. He is at home every day, and he doesn’t realize that he is out of society. If Manzhan is not Golden State, he’s really looking forward to it. He didn't want to run so far on the itching place.

Maybe, this is the ritual sense of otaku culture.

The wind is blowing, the sun is basking, and a person is driving on the vast highway alone. The radio music melody played by the car stereo is so sweet. When passing by the gas station, buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of happy water, and then continue. Toward the destination.

After all, Clark County, Arkansas, where Olsen is located, is quite far away from San Diego, California. If the distance is not a straight line, it is probably more than 1,700 miles. Even in modern society, the inter-city transportation network is developed. It's a long distance, and I have to keep driving for a whole day without sleep. If it is driving and stopping, it must be longer, so Olsen set aside two days for himself to arrange everything.

However, in terms of feeling, summer is actually a good time to travel. Although it is a little hot at noon, driving is not a crime in the morning and evening, and the weather is good, and rain is rarely encountered.

But even so, if the temptation of Man Zhan is not always in Olsen's heart, he feels that this trip is not easy, and he wants to retreat.

Of course, he is better than the average person. Although he is not a rich second-generation, his family has certain financial strength, such as driving by himself, fuel bills along the way, staying in hotels, eating, and buying some interesting surroundings, etc. He can still afford similar expenses, except that driving is really tiring, everything else is fine.

By the time of California, it was already the next morning, because last night I took a rest at the motel on the way for more than 7 hours, and my mental state remained good. Even the closer I was to San Diego, I encountered some of the same for exhibiting. He is excited about his fellow likes and some cosers who have been dressed up.

Speaking of, in recent years, Jinzhou Comic Exhibition has increased the number of participants at an average rate of 5 percentage points. The otaku lovers who gather here from all over the world can find some common topics, and because of the strong atmosphere, I am very courageous, even if I don’t know each other, it’s still interesting to talk.

Olson made clear preparations in advance, found a hotel, booked a room and parked the car before he went to the meeting place to get a ticket.

The Golden State Comic Show is divided into two types, full-course and single-day, but even if there is no admission ticket, the side event next to it is worth visiting. The latter is because the flow of people in recent years was too large to receive, and the government took the initiative to help maintain it.

Of course, Olson, who grabbed the ticket in advance, must enter the venue. Although the show is not open, the window next to it is always served by people. Only wait for the ticket stub to be used as an admission voucher.

He lined up and everyone around him was chatting excitedly.

"I heard that Columbia is going to remake Bruce Lee's first film "The Green Hornet"?"

"It seems so, I saw Sony Music admit it in person the day before yesterday, and said there will be mysterious surprises."

"Blizzard said there is a new concept?"

"do not know."

"Hey, I am quite concerned about the news of "How to Train Your Dragon". Paramount said that it will release a concept poster together with the third part of "Transformers" in the comic show. I look forward to..."

Olsen kept his ears up and listened until the crowd was moving forward and it was his turn to take the admission card. A volunteer lady next to him with a top hat reminded him, "This should be kept, except for joining the meeting. Check, go to nearby hotels, buy things at the venue, all have discounts."

"Yes, yes." Seeing the young lady's smile, Olsen's heart thumped and thumped until he walked to the side and looked back.

Because the venue was officially opened at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, Olsen went around the venue unwillingly and didn’t see any interesting things. But the coser in this place began to get together, all kinds of realistic costumes made him Dizzy.

Occasionally encountering a character that I like, muster the courage to strike up a conversation, take a group photo, and use the photo to commemorate my journey is quite meaningful, but it is not boring.

Especially when compared to reading some interesting things posted by other people on Facebook in the past, it will be a different feeling when a real person will come.

How should I put it, as the times evolve, the offline sense of participation cannot be given online.

Looking at the gradually hot atmosphere around you, full of elements of animation, games, and movies, or various statues in one-to-one ratio, all give people a very comfortable atmosphere.

And here is also a paradise for American house culture. During the rally, even the surrounding businesses have replaced many house elements. At noon, Olson went to have a meal, and you can see many listings posted around; buy a bottle Shui, the boss will ask him if he is here to participate in the show.

At night, return to the booked hotel.

Olsen remembered that the volunteer lady had something to say when she received the admission ticket. He just wanted to ask if the hotel cooperated with the comic exhibition party. If not, he might only show the voucher when he planned to change one. He smiled and said, "Are you also the one who participated in the comic show? Sorry, our people have neglected. If you stay in our hotel during this period, you should enjoy 15% off the room rate. I will help you re-enter the information."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Olson hurriedly took out his driver's license (in the United States, the driver's license is equivalent to an ID card), and handed him the Golden State Manzhan coupon, showing him the corresponding information and date.

Then, he was fooled into handling a 5-day room fee package. After all, the merchants that cooperate with Manzhan are profitable before they take the initiative to come to the door... The full ticket, including tonight, is 5 Heaven's needs...
