Get ready, global pop culture fans! 🚀 The first-ever CPOPwave exhibition kicks off in Hangzhou on May 28, showcasing 20 of China’s most viral intellectual properties (IPs) – from blockbuster films to addictive mobile games. Think of it as Comic-Con meets Coachella, but with a distinctly Chinese twist. 🇨🇳
Held at the trendy Dongchao Art Park, the event spotlights how CPOP (Chinese pop culture) is rewriting global entertainment rules. Remember when ‘The Wandering Earth’ blew up Netflix? Or how ‘Honor of Kings’ became a worldwide gaming obsession? 🔥 These IPs aren’t just local hits – they’re cultural ambassadors, racking up billions of views on TikTok, YouTube, and beyond.
Curators handpicked the lineup using 2023-2024 data trends, proving China’s creative industries are ‘leveling up’ faster than a RPG character. 🎮 Highlights include the highly anticipated ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ game and limited-edition designer toys that’ll make any collector swoon.
One organizer told us: ‘This isn’t just about nostalgia – it’s about how Chinese stories connect Gen Z everywhere.’ Whether you’re into anime aesthetics or sci-fi epics, CPOPwave promises a front-row seat to Asia’s coolest cultural exports. 📈
