On October 21, a Hugo X brand promotion meeting was held at the 2023 Chengdu World Science Fiction Conference. Guests such as Han Song, one of the “Four Kings” of contemporary Chinese science fiction and a famous science fiction writer, and Yin Guang, a rising writer born in the 1990s, attended the event and shared their understanding and stories of innovation and creation.
At the scene, Artell Isom, the producer of the first season of “Star Wars: Fantasy” shared the difficulties he encountered during creation. He believed that “Star Wars” itself is a mature IP, and many people have read comics, original works, animations, etc. Therefore, “it is the most difficult to retain familiar symbols and characters while incorporating new characters and elements.” He continued, “But the core of the artist itself is innovation.

Once the audience says that this is not the Star Wars we are familiar with, I will reconsider the settings of the characters and elements.”
At present, artificial intelligence has undoubtedly become a hot topic in various fields, and there is also a heated debate on whether it will replace human creative work. Han Song said that when writing a novel, he would give his idea for the novel to AI, ask the AI to write a copy, and then compare it with what he wrote. “I know that some writers are training their own AI, ‘feeding’ it with a large amount of data, and letting it imitate.”
In a sense, Han Song believes that AI is an auxiliary tool. But with the development of technology, AI also has some aspects that make people think deeply and fear them. Han Song continued, “Sometimes I feel scary because AI will imitate some habits that I can’t even detect. I have no idea how the program in this black box thinks. Maybe one day, the world created by AI will It will become a real world.”
In the following time, the guests conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as the creation of science fiction stories and the future development of science fiction. When talking about the significance of this promotion conference, Wang Yating, vice chairman of the 2023 Chengdu World Science Fiction Conference and host of the Hugo X interview, said that in 2023, the Hugo Awards will be launched in China for the first time. “In order to carry forward the culture and tradition of the World Science Fiction Convention, we will continue to develop the Hugo
In science fiction works, from characters to stories, what are the creators creating? This promotion meeting may provide another answer for everyone. Some people say that looking back at human history, we have always been driven by the pursuit of knowledge and exploration. Human beings continue to ask questions about the world, and thus encounter more heroic mountains and rivers, more unknown lands, and a more imaginative future.
