A stage set next to the 4 holes, Wonder Showcase.


"Wonder festival executive committee did not have content every time because it was an urgent news conference, so I thought that this time it is a story that there will be a 2020 problem so I will not stop holding in 2020?" Ms. Miyawaki representative of Senmu who took. However, this time it was an announcement of "a completely new project".


The contents will be on April 6th (Fri) and 7th (Sat) in 2018Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC)It is to hold a new event at.


The name of the new event is "Wonder Festival 2018 Shanghai [Pre Stage]".


It is GOOSEBUMPS that is responsible for the main management. Mr. Konishi has traveled to Shanghai in 1989 and started art work from 2007. We established GOOSEBUMPS in that we want you to bridge Japan and China. Since that time, I'm putting on a "bridge" centered on culture and subcal.

According to Mr. Masanori Konishi, the Kaiyodo exhibition is held in Shanghai in 2013, and the flow of making figures and garage kits by themselves is spreading in China as well. One of the spirit of the Wonder Festival is "Enjoying the production of ordinary people", I thought that the soil that could be done in China, I brought a story to the Kaiyodo, and it was realized in this way That's right.


Many people in China's figure world has been inspired by Kaiyodo to start producing works, so there are many models, animals and creatures, but there are people who also acquire the right to copyright rights as well And that.


The wonder festival in Japan began in 1985, this is the 32nd year. Despite the consultation held from various places so far, it has not been realized so far. However, the Kaiyodo exhibition in Shanghai in 2013, has been held in Hong Kong since 2009C3 Nippon Toyohira (C3 in HongKong)And among other things, Miyawaki is said to have decided to talk because this mental momentum may result in good results.

However, since it is the first attempt, it was decided that it will be held as "Pre Stage" in the sense that it will be cautiously careful. Speaking of Wonder Festival, the existence of copyright system on that day is well known, but this system is very delicate and Miyawaki representative says, "It is like walking on a thin ice plate", so from this Pre Stage It is said that it will not be introduced suddenly.


Regarding the participation of Japanese amateur dealers in Japan, it is held more than 30 times and it can be recruited with peace of mind, but since it is probably the first time, this time it is Japanese companies from Kaiyodo, and about 10 to 20 It is said that they will be asked to ask dealers to participate.

The official press release of this case will be delivered at a later date.


Miyawaki, who said that the enthusiasm of Chinese modelers and event participants is such a momentum that they had in their 20s and may be a stimulus for Japanese shaped works. Since it was that he wanted to incorporate Shanghai One Festival into the evolution of one festival in the future, the wonder festival may be going to make further leaps from 2018.

Below is detailed information received from Shanghai WF Executive Committee staff.

Q:
Will the operation of "Shanghai WF" be left over to Mr. GOOSEBUMPS?

A:
Although it depends largely on Mr. GOOSEBUMPS, we introduce the know-how of the WF Executive Committee of Kaiyodo in its entirety, and at the same time, we set up a "Shanghai WF Executive Committee" with ourselves, Mr. GOOSEBUMPS, and other external staff It was. I would like you to think that it will be managed by that "Shanghai WF Executive Committee".

Q:
What is the treatment of "the day copyright" which is the feature of the wonder festival?

A:
Currently, Mr. Konishi of GOOSEBUMPS is negotiating with some Japanese copyright sources to have Shanghai WF also copyright the same day. However, it is the first attempt at all, and again China thinks that it is not easy because it is strong image of "pirate". However, since the famous copyright authority already shows understanding, I'm thinking that "every time I follow it, I step down the copyright source ... ...."

Q:
Are you recruiting participants for Japanese amateur dealers?

A:
Regardless of the first time anyway, since almost all things can not be read at all, we are basically trying to recruit only Chinese amateur dealers, Chinese company dealers and Japanese corporate dealers. However, since we are planning to hold Shanghai WF on a continuous basis instead of making it a one-time event, we will actively seek amateur dealership participation from Japan and will continue to " If you can do "exchange between Japan and China" ... I think.

Q:
Are there any plans to do something special that is different from WF in Japan?

A:
Based on the request from Chinese model fans, I would like to invite about 10 to 20 popular amateur dealers in Japan, in the way that the Shanghai WF Executive Committee is responsible for travel expenses, accommodation fee and dealer's fare. Also, based on similar requests, we plan to implement "Wonder Showcase" exhibition as an event event. We already have 89 artists in the Wonder Showcase and it is not realistic to bring all their works to Shanghai, so probably 20-25 carefully selected works and their artist commentary I think that it will be in the form of exhibiting together panels translated into Chinese.
