"If I'm not at the convention, then I'm on my way to the convention."
People who like Jin Yong's novels will find a rule: each novel needs several conferences to support the scene. Without a conference, the plot is easy to be loose and flat; with the conference, all kinds of conflicts and agitation, the plot is immediately super-ignited.
Let's take a few representative works and compare this law.
First look at "Tianlong Babu", this novel, it can be said that several conferences are connected down to promote the plot line of the three protagonists.
"Tianlong Babu" has five conferences, namely: the Apricot Forest Gang Conference, the Juxian Zhuang Hero Conference, the Zhenlong Chess Game Conference, the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, and the Shaomu mountain Hero Conference.
Among them, the Apricot Forest Gang Conference was originally positioned as an internal meeting of the Gang Group, with the issue of avenging the ma deputy gang leader. However, under the conspiracy and operation of Madame Ma, Quan Shijing and others, it became the identity of the world's first gang leader to expose the enlarged meeting. Dali's Duan Yu, Yan Ziwu's Wang Yuyan, Bao Different, and the evil storm, as well as the martial artists Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, Shan Zheng, and Master Zhiguang also participated, and later the Western Xia Yipintang also came to make trouble. Finally, from within the group, it will expand into a multinational conference of the Song, Western Xia, Dali, Khitan and Dayan (government-in-exile) and so on.
Apricot Grove expands the meeting, resulting in the protagonist Qiao Feng being framed and discredited, and the fate of the fate is as follows, which promotes the development of the follow-up plot.
The Juxian Zhuang Hero Conference is a follow-up to the Apricot Forest Conference and the climax of the first half of the book. Xiao Feng drank a drink of friendship with the martial artists at Juxian Zhuang and fought the crowd with the strength of one person, and from then on completely broke with the Central Plains Qunhao.
At the Zhenlong Chess Game Conference on Drum Mountain, there were not only Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, but also Murong Fu and his party, as well as the four evil men such as Duan Yanqing, as well as Ding Chunqiu, the leader of the Xingsu Sect, The Tubo Guoshi Jiumozhi, and the shaolin temple senior monk Xuan Nan. Except for Xiao Feng, all the masters who could come came.
The Zhenlong Chess Game Conference is the beginning of the counterattack of the fate of the virtual bamboo, opening his route from an ordinary little monk to a top master.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Conference knew by listening to the name, and the scale of the momentum was very large. Seventy-two island lords, thirty-six cave lords, Tianshan Tong yao, Southern Murong, sword god Zhuo Yifan, and virtual bamboo, this conference promoted the second male protagonist virtual bamboo to become the leader of the Runaway Sect and move towards the peak of life.
The Shomuro Mountain Heroes Conference is the climax and the most exciting part of the book. All the decent and evil masters in the whole book have gathered, and the highest light moment of the three Tianlong brothers is also the most brilliant scene in Jin Yong's novel.
If there are no these conferences in the whole book, tianlong eight parts will feel that they have lost their grip, and they are all parallel trajectories of the three protagonists, and the whole book will be very tedious and scattered.
Let's look at the "Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" in the Archery Trilogy.
The first meeting was Zhang Sanfeng's centennial birthday banquet, where Shaolin, Kunlun, Kun Tong, Emei and the various gate factions all came, resulting in Zhang Cuishan Yin Susu and his wife wielding their swords and killing themselves, and bloody Wudang Mountain. But since then, the story line of the protagonist Zhang Wujie has been unveiled.
The Six Gate Sect fought the Bright Peak, surrounded and suppressed the Ming Sect, and Zhang Wuji became famous in the first battle and became the leader of the Ming Sect.
At the Shaolin Lion SlaughterIng Conference, all the martial arts elites of all factions participated, and Zhou Zhiruo suddenly became a dark horse, defeating various martial arts masters and pushing the plot of the whole book to the climax. And Xie Xun and Cheng Kun fought a battle, completely eliminating the first anti-angle of the whole book, making people clap their hands and applaud.
"The Legend of the Eagle Hero" has few conferences, but the heaviest weight. Huashan discusses the sword once every 25 years, but the entire influence runs through the book. It suddenly established the status of the five best. Every martial artist who talks about today's top martial arts masters is the first to promote the five masters of Huashan's sword.
In "Divine Eagle Heroes", Guo Jing Huang Rong held a hero conference, so that Yang Guo and Xiaolong's name shook the rivers and lakes. And Guo Xiang's birthday party completed the sublimation of Yang Guo's image of becoming a hero.
Soon after the beginning of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", it was Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, and retiring to the rivers and lakes all needed a sense of ceremony, but because of this conference, Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang both killed themselves, and the Five Peaks Sword Sect began to split internally, and the whole story line slowly unfolded.
Similarly, Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun wanted to unify the martial arts, so they held a meeting of the Five Peaks and Sects, elected the leader of the Five Peaks Sword Sect, and finally triggered infighting between the Five Peaks Sect and exposed the conspiracy of Zuo and Yue...
Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the laughing book god man leans on the blue duck. Jin Yong's 14 novels cannot be discussed one by one, but it is certain that the most tense and exciting, the most turbulent, and climactic parts of the plot are generally the parts of the conference. Without the conference, the plot will dry up and it will be difficult to develop and continue.
In fact, out of the martial arts world, the real world, why not?
As far as the Internet industry is concerned, as early as 2001, Ma Yun, who likes Jin Yong's novels, hosted the first West Lake Sword, inviting Sina founder Wang Zhidong, Sohu founder Zhang Chaoyang, Jin, NetEase founder Ding Lei, 8848 founder Wang Juntao and so on. It attracted hundreds of media reports.
In the third session of the West Lake Sword Discussion in 2003, Ma Huateng, Zhou Hongyi, Mr. Liang Jianzhang, Bao Yueqiao, etc. all attended the conference. The fourth edition invited Sun Zhengyi, TOM President Wang Leilei, Shanda CEO Chen Tianqiao, eBay CEO Shao Yibo, Baidu President Robin Li, Ctrip CEO Liang Jianzhang, Ma Yun, etc.
There is no doubt that The West Lake On the Sword is a very successful conference marketing, allowing the Internet industry to go to the center of public opinion. However, after the West Lake Sword Was held for six sessions, it did not continue. Until the success of the Wuzhen World Internet Conference, the Internet began to be lively again.
The success of the Wuzhen Internet Conference is due to the Wuzhen Rice Bureau. Are hundreds of billions of entrepreneurs, rich list top entrepreneurs, very simple dinner, posting a group photo, "Dongxing Bureau", really attracted attention. But a few years ago, this kind of meal was also cold and gradually silent.
In any case, the success of the Wuzhen World Internet Conference has attracted the envious eyes of countless cities. As a result, imitators also flocked to the scene. The Digital Expo in Guizhou has made a city with an underdeveloped economy and technology in the southwest suddenly come to the center of the big data industry. Fuzhou is not to be outdone, and the Digital China Construction Summit has the potential to compete and catch up with the Digital Expo.
In contrast, the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, on the one hand, the Internet giants have been caught in the anti-monopoly public opinion vortex in recent years, and they are relatively low-key, so they have been divided into many popularity.
Wuzhen, Guizhou, Fuzhou, because of the benchmarking conference, to add a lot of color to the city, certainly also driven a lot of GDP, therefore, more and more cities, to join the wave of holding the conference. Take this year, the relatively influential ones are:
The World Artificial Intelligence Congress in Shanghai
The World Intelligence Congress held in Tianjin
China International Fair for Trade in Services, World 5G Conference, China Internet Conference, etc. held in Beijing
The Global Industrial Internet Conference held in Shenyang
Network Security and Intelligent Manufacturing Conference held in Changsha
China 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference in Wuhan
China International Software Expo in Hangzhou
Digital Government Construction Summit held in Guangzhou
Digital Economy Summit held in Zhengzhou
………
There is also an annual Cyber Security Week event, and dozens of cities across the country will hold large and small conferences.
So, the question is, why are cities so keen to hold conferences? The reason is simple.
Jin Yong's novel, only by holding a conference, is it lively enough, and it is good to gather the decent villain roles in the north and south of the world, and can it promote the development of the plot.
Similarly, for city leaders, only by holding a conference can we boost GDP and stimulate economic vitality.
To the macro level, you can create a city business card, you can attract investment, pull enterprises to station, and drive industrial development...
To the micro level, the leaders, entrepreneurs, experts, guests, and media from the north and south of the world have rushed over, need to stay in the hotel, need catering services, need to take a taxi, and by the way, you can shop and consume, directly driving consumption.
Not only that, to run the conference, all exhibitors need to pay a lot of sponsorship fees, venue fees...
It can be seen that for the city, fame and fortune are both gained and many things are gained in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the conference held by various cities, especially the industrial Internet, is a dense area of the conference.
Don't shock the world with industry, then move the world with it!
One conference after another, the experts are non-stop, the content of the speeches that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, the speeches in the turn, the bitterness of those media reporters, the content is too high, and different tricks are conjured up to report, recording the grand scale of each conference, the unprecedented specifications, and the prosperity of the world...
All this, thanks to the Wright brothers invented the airplane, so that a day to travel north and south of the river has become a reality. In Jin Yong's novel, the Five Peaks Sword Sect, the Heavenly South, Earth, and North Gate Sects, it is really not easy to get together. Now expert academicians can rush to attend a conference every day.
It can be seen that the conference is not only the driving force of the plot of Jin Yong's novel, but also the driving force of the current urban economic development.
