On 1 month 1 -3, 2003, the Chengdu Sunflower Winter Comic Exhibition, hosted by the International Animation Art College of Sichuan University of Technology and undertaken by Southwest Animation Alliance, was grandly opened in Century Computer City, and the Southwest Animation Alliance began to enter the animation stage in Chengdu.
This activity lasted for two days. Against the background of festive atmosphere, the first animation activity was held in BLACKPINK in 2003. In the absence of media publicity, the number of people present on the first day of the exhibition reached more than 2,000, and the cumulative flow of people in two days reached more than 5,000. The scene was so lively that it didn't look like it was in a cold winter ... the participants' fiery hearts melted the ice and snow.
The Cosplay competition in this exhibition is an unusual competition in previous years, and the winner won the prize, which is the beginning of the professional development of Cosplay in Chengdu and the climax of this exhibition. Although the Sunflower winter comic exhibition was successful, it was the first time that the comic exhibition was held, and the Southwest Animation Alliance still had many shortcomings, which was also the beginning of accumulating experience.
Southwest Animation Alliance has taken the first step in the blueprint, which is difficult but firm.
Chengdu 2003 "Spring" Animation Carnival
On February 6 -8, 2003, the 2003 "Spring Festival" animation carnival, sponsored by Southwest Animation Alliance and co-organized by major animation societies and animation studios in Chengdu, was successfully held in Chunxi Road, the most prosperous area in Chengdu.
At the same time, the "Winter" comic roving exhibition hosted by Guangzhou Jianlibao Group also kicked off on the 7th and 8th. The holding of two comic exhibitions at the same time has put pressure on the organizers, and competition is inevitable. Facts have proved that the "Spring Festival" animation carnival, which is actively participated by Chengdu local animation association and animation enthusiasts, is excellent in both people flow and popularity. In particular, Cosplay has the largest number of participants in all previous comic exhibitions in Chengdu, with nearly 200 participants. It attracts a large number of anime fans and journalists from newspapers and TV stations, such as Huaxi Dushi Bao, Tianfu Morning Post, Chengdu Business Daily and Channel 33. On February 6th, Wei Peng, president of Southwest Manlian, led many Cosplay actors to appear on Chunxi Road. Cosplay actors design and produce gorgeous and avant-garde costumes by themselves, which makes people dazzled and amazed. In front of Ito Yokado Hall, Ito's leaders Shinji Takahashi and Ichiro Hiroguchi took the initiative to take photos with Cosplay actors, and the scene was packed. This grand occasion is the first time in Chengdu. Animation and Cosplay are displayed in front of the society and businesses through activities, so that people who don't understand animation begin to understand animation, which once again proves the great influence of animation.
Southwest Animation Alliance has taken the second step of the blueprint, which is firm and wonderful.
