Rebirth of COSPLAY

There is a special shuttle bus in the urban area to take people to the exhibition hall.Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Ze and the others to squeeze this kind of car early in the morning.A whole club gathered at the gate of Luoxing's university, and then took a bus to the exhibition hall in the suburbs.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the exhibition site.Many cars had already parked in the square outside the exhibition hall, and shadows of people were shaking.

Xiao Ze and his group got out of the car and brought props, and many people surrounded them.

Xiao Ze has known for a long time that cosplay plays a much higher role in people's lives in this era than in 2011, but this formation still surprised him.

To be honest, there are not many fans who can recognize the face of coser without makeup at once, so if there is no makeup and no cosplay clothes, even famous coser will not appear. The situation where people come around.

A group of them were surrounded by others, some took pictures, and some cheered them on for the afternoon game.The others seemed to have gotten used to this situation, smiling calmly at the camera, only Xiao Ze stood in the middle very awkwardly.

"Why are you showing such a sluggish face!" The Second Young Master whispered to Xiao Ze speechlessly while maintaining a smile.

Xiao Ze said embarrassingly, "I never thought of such a situation..."

"It turns out that you are not calm at times," Luo Xingxing teased in surprise, and then said, "Think of yourself as a star, smile at the camera, and if someone asks you to sign, just sign it and stay for a minute or two. It’s almost time to go,” he added, “Of course, we’re still very different from the star stuff.”

Xiao Ze quickly took the notebook and pen handed over by a girl, signed an elegant "REL", and then heard the girl say excitedly: "Master L, have you really entered Jiuyue? You will participate in this Contest?!"

"Well, in the afternoon the whole club played collectively." Xiao Ze said.While answering this question, he was secretly surprised, did so many people already know him?

In fact, he has only released one official cosplay so far, and now his forum has so many fans and hits, after all, it is thanks to LING and Jiuyue.

Xiao Ze secretly said in his heart, he will definitely let others know him with his own strength!

After staying for a while, the popsicles began to go to the front to open the way for them, and they didn't have time to respond to the enthusiasm of the remaining fans.

Their competition was in the afternoon, and maybe other clubs were looking for a venue for their last practice at this time, but Popsicle still decided to let them take a good look at the exhibition hall in the morning.

Just as Xiao Ze finished checking the tickets and entered Hall A, Xiao Hai called.

"Ozawa, where are you now?"

"I'm in Hall A now," Xiao Ze said, "Our game will start in the afternoon."

"En..." Xiao Hai was silent for a while, probably because he was looking at the match schedule, he hesitated, "Your club seems to be called...Jiuyue?"

"kindness."

"Well, okay, when are you coming to the theater, call me."

"Ok."

When I hung up the phone, I saw two text messages.

One belongs to Li Chengran.

He also came to this comic exhibition, and specially picked today in order to watch Xiao Ze's game.Because Che Gongjiao was curious about Xiao Ze's cosplay, he also followed him, and the two of them were on their way here.

The other one was from Jiang Sheng, and the content was still very concise—"At [-]:[-] am in Hall C, CV meet and greet."

Xiao Ze's footsteps paused.

This time, in order to create a sense of mystery, the organizers of the CV meet-and-greet, coser photo album signing and cartoonist new book signing have not been announced.He once mentioned to Jiang Sheng that he liked the CV named Xiaozu very much. Could it be that he will also come to the CV meeting this time?

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Ze's excited expression, Er Shao asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I want to go to the CV meeting!" Xiao Ze laughed.

"There are quite a lot of content in the exhibition, we can take our time." Sunguang said.

Hall A is mainly a display area for various domestic animation industries. Of course, the animation production company of "Old Dreams of the Western Regions" also occupies a place, and a poster is hung on it.

The poster seems to be a stage photo of "Old Dreams of the Western Regions", but the members are not those of the LING club.

Nikko explained that the performance of the LING club was not official.The animation company sent an invitation to the LING club, but everyone knows the rejection by the LING club, so in order not to lose face, the company immediately found some other excellent cosplayers to hold an official stage play, and the poster they wanted to use, Of course it is an official stage play.

Staring at the poster, Xiao Ze frowned, seeing something wrong.

Because "Old Dreams of the Western Regions" is an animation, the character design is already there, so there will be no problems such as plagiarism.The costumes of these COSERs are no different from that of the LING club, there is nothing to say.

But the stage set behind them and the props used are exactly the same as those used by the LING club in that performance, there is almost no difference.

When Luo Xing heard what Xiao Ze said, he twitched the corners of his lips, and jokingly said, "Competing with a lineup like the LING club will be stressful, anyway, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts."

"Didn't the official say that the script used in this stage play is different from the one used by the LING club?" The second young master smiled and spread his hands, "It's completely original, there is no similarity."

Xiao Ze pouted.In fact, this kind of thing happened even in 2011, but he couldn't get used to it.After all, every cosplay setting and setting are thought out by the cosplayers, but they are used so casually by others. Even though the parties may not take these things to heart, Xiao Ze just feels depressed.If it was him instead, he would probably be very angry.

In addition to hall A, there are three other exhibition areas in the whole exhibition.

Hall B is the sales area for various peripherals, Hall C is the signing and meeting area for CVs, COSERs, and cartoonists, and Hall D is the sales area for books such as various doujinshi and original manga collections.

It takes a morning to visit the four exhibition halls, and the time is still a bit tight. After all, the content is very exciting, and it is not enough to visit each exhibition area for an hour.

Xiao Ze focused his attention on various anime figures. In 2042, the quality of domestically produced figures is very high, and the price is no longer as expensive as in 2011.

What surprised Xiao Ze the most was seeing figures of anime such as "Hokage", "Bleach", "Slam Dunk" and so on!

It has been 2011 years since 31. He has not noticed when the first two ended until now, but they should be considered very old works by now, right?

Xiao Ze picked up the figurines of Kakashi and Kurosaki Ichigo in surprise, and couldn't put it down.

The others were surprised to see how interested he was in these two characters.

Er Shao was surprised and said: "These two animations are from a long time ago, right? I haven't watched them..." Then he subconsciously looked at Luo Xing.

Luo Xing choked, turned his head and curled his lips and said, "I haven't seen this kind of antique either."

The word "Antique" successfully awakened Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze gave the two of them a dark look, and then ran to pay the money with nostalgia and joy.

Then, they went to Hall C on time.

When we arrived at Hall C, it was packed with people, more people than the previous two halls!

There was a long queue in front of several cartoonists, a COSPLAY club was posing in the center of the exhibition hall, a group of people gathered around them to take pictures, and many famous CVs were on the front stage.The host handed them the microphone, and they were introducing themselves.

Sure enough, the pawn arrived. Xiao Ze was pleasantly surprised, but there were too many people around the stage, so he gave up the idea of ​​asking for an autograph.After all, she's not a girl, so she won't worry about such things.

While watching the show in front of the stage, Jiang Sheng found them.

It's still Xiaomei, Tongtian, Jiemu and Jiuliang—they seem to be the few people who have the best relationship with Jiang Sheng in the Ling club.

A group of people got together with Jiuyue's people. After watching the performance and visiting Hall D, they went out of the exhibition hall to have lunch.

After lunch, we went to the playground theater next door to the exhibition hall.

There are no games in the morning, so there are only staff in the theater.

After noon, some spectators gradually sat in the auditorium, and some clubs that were about to compete had already arrived.

As soon as Xiao Ze and the others arrived, they saw Xiao Hai standing at the door and making a phone call.

Xiao Hai glanced at Xiao Ze from the corner of his eye, quickly hung up the phone and walked over.

Seeing the group of people following Xiao Ze, Xiao Hai was taken aback: "...Hello, I am Xiao Ze's brother, Xiao Hai."

People in the club usually call each other by their CN names when they get along. Although they have heard each other's real names, they don't remember much.Hearing Xiao Hai's introduction at this time, the Second Young Master recalled it carefully, and said in surprise: "Could it be that your family is that..." He looked at Xiao Ze, then at Xiao Hai, dumbfounded.

"When you come to this amusement park in the future, let L give you a [-]% discount." Luo Xing said with a smile.

Two little black lines.

Of course, Xiao Hai didn't know the members of the Jiuyue Society, but when his eyes passed over Jiang Sheng's body, his brows subconsciously frowned.

"You are Jiang Sheng?"

Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth just as he was about to answer, when Xiao Ze thought of the conversation he had with Xiao Hai back then, and quickly interrupted, "He's the judge this time."

"Judge?" Xiao Hai was surprised.

A staff member came over from the side, and when he saw Jiang Sheng, he quickly smiled and said, "Is it Yue Cheng? Do you want to go to the lounge to rest first?"

"You are that coser named Yuecheng?" Xiao Hai looked even more surprised.

Although he inherited the family playground, and their family sponsored this COSPLAY competition, he himself is very ignorant of the COS circle.

I read some files before and knew some famous coser, but the impression of them is only their names.And because Jiang Sheng was indifferent to Yuan Xiao Ze in the past, and Yuan Xiao Ze once chased Jiang Sheng, so Xiao Hai's impression of him was not much better.

At this time, the fact that Jiang Sheng's monthly cosplay achievement was Jiang Sheng surprised him very much.

"This is the judge of this competition," the staff knew that Xiao Hai was not familiar with these things, so they briefly introduced, and then whispered to Xiao Hai, "Shall I take him to the lounge first?"

Xiao Hai glanced at Jiang Sheng, then nodded hesitantly.

Jiang Sheng patted Xiao Ze on the head, said softly, "Come on for the game", and left with the staff member.

Xiao Hai looked at Jiang Sheng's back, turned around and asked in doubt: "Is it because of him that you fell in love with cosplay?"

Xiao Hai's question made Xiao Ze stunned, Xiao Ze laughed and said, "How is it possible, I also like cosplay very much."

"When did you fall in love with it?" Xiao Hai asked in surprise, "You used to...just like wearing weird clothes."

"What are those weird clothes?" Er Shao asked curiously.

Fearing that they might misunderstand, Xiao Hai raised his glasses and said awkwardly: "Ozawa used to like to wear some weird clothes, but now he can cosplay with you very well."

While chatting, another club arrived.Those people were guided to the lounge by the staff, and when they passed by, their eyes still stayed on Xiao Hai for several seconds, and their eyes suddenly became strange.

Others might not have noticed, but Popsicle and Falling Star both did.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Luo Xing said to Xiao Ze: "Let's go to the lounge first, how are you?"

"I'm going too, let's start preparing." Xiao Ze glanced at his phone.

Luo Xing nodded, and the group entered the lounge after saying goodbye to Xiao Hai.

After entering the lounge, everyone began to get ready in a hurry.

Put on the costume, put on the wig, put on the makeup, and get the props.

After more than an hour, everyone was almost ready.

"Review the script and recall the content of our rehearsal. If there is no problem, then you can go to the performance." Popsicle said.

Xiao Ze swung his sword, and recalled the fight scene between him and Luo Xing. After he felt that there was nothing wrong, he left the lounge, walked to the corner next to the stage, and crowded there with a group of people to watch the stage.

The auditorium was already full, and there were still many people who had no seats and stood there watching.

Although the show hadn't started yet, the flashlights were all on.

Someone was holding a recording pen, followed by a photographer standing at the entrance, who should be a reporter or something.

At the judges' table, all the judges have already sat down.

There were a total of more than ten people, except for the animation industry people, the other cosplayers were all cosplayers who came to a certain role, only Jiang Sheng was wearing a hoodie, sitting there in a low-key manner.

As if feeling Xiao Ze's gaze, he suddenly raised his head and turned his gaze.

Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand to wave to him.

Jiang Sheng seemed to be smiling, and waved to him without hesitation.

At this moment, a flash light stabbed Xiao Ze's eyes.He sensitively looked towards the auditorium, but he no longer knew who owned the flashing light just now.

Not long after, the two hosts came on stage and silenced the theater.

The lights were focused on the hosts, and the two hosts talked for a while and made some jokes, and then announced the start of the finals of the COSPLAY competition, and the first club was on the stage.

The lights in the theater dimmed suddenly, fierce music sounded, and the audience screamed!
