Do you have to spend a lot of money to play cosplay?

I think the most fundamental contradiction of cos circle is that it is a high-consumption entertainment activity, but it has a group of players without income. High consumption, this activity certainly can't be like playing basketball or football.

You just need to buy a ball, and you can play in any open space in the community or park. At most, you can rent a professional venue and share the money with several people. But cos, a simple account, clothes 5 (there are no props, any weapons or props, that is, the price is doubled), makeup 1, photography 5, if the venue is on location, it may be free, shed shooting 5 is not much, travel shooting. . . Hehe, in the later period of 2 (don't have big special effects < P >), it's not expensive to calculate more than 1 for a set of pictures. Oh, what needs special explanation is that this consumption is purely one-off. After this time, all this will be useless, and the next time it will be charged from zero (I don't mean to lead a war when commenting on the discussion about sneakers, but the first high-priced sneakers are not necessary for playing football, and the second one is not limited to wearing a ball game). If a coser spends two sets of pictures a year just for fun and experience, it's actually no big deal to dig up pocket money and save lucky money (of course, it doesn't rule out that economically disadvantaged areas and parents can't bear this expense, after all, it's just a photo shoot, and it's not a photo album). However, this is far from the truth. Too many characters have big props, and < P > needs special effects synthesis. Even two sets of pictures a year are difficult to get a so-called "stable seat" in the low-threshold circle, not to mention that the circle is more of an ordinary student party with a plain appearance without the transformation of the net red face. Then it is necessary to produce more feature films, such as Weibo's headline promotion, comic exhibition and various platforms that can brush the face < P >, especially the comic exhibition that has emerged in recent two years without cp (abbreviation of a magic capital comic exhibition) can be regarded as the twisted logic of gathering. It is not uncommon for a group of underage children to go to the "battlefield" thousands of miles away alone to win the so-called sense of existence and identity. It is not surprising that underage girls are trafficked on their way to the exhibition in the near future. Not to mention the rise of travel photography in the past two years, the domestic fight for a group is forced, and it is not new to die directly abroad.

It is true that there will be various small guards or Pacific police jumping out to tell you that this is not the case. We make our own clothes and props, and we make our own makeup. Photography is free of charge, and we take care of ourselves in the later stage. Travel photography is crowdfunding. Is this really the case? Are all the major Taobao shops, salted fish second-hand shops and cos props sold in a single bill? Are all the praises entrusted? How many tailors make their own clothes? Did you take your own makeup from mom's dresser? So much photography is free, and photography probably doesn't need to eat. How many coser can take care of themselves in the whole C circle?

where does the money of high-consumption groups without income come from? Low liquidity makes this problem unsolved

In fact, high-consumption groups without income are also widespread in society. The second generation or mistresses, gnawing at old people or gnawing at demolition funds are also abundant in cos circle, so every time you mention the issue of money, the little guards will throw out a series of little sisters Bai Fumei to despise your shallowness, but go back to the previous question. After all, such people are not the vast majority. Most students in cos circle come from all walks of life. Just like the pyramid distribution of social wealth, it is undeniable that the bottom is always the vast majority of all circles. Then back to our question, where the money comes from is obvious. All kinds of gray incomes constitute the answer to this question, not to mention the children who use all kinds of tricks to deduct a little gold foam from the capital chain that is not much in this circle and then leave countless black history. There are countless marketing numbers in cos circle, from Weibo to Post Bar to various platforms. Every day, such annual dramas are staged to maintain the justice and purity of the so-called circle. However, this just proves from the side that the people who are called "individual mouse excrement" by the small guards are not "individual", and it is not known what proportion they occupy in such a circle.

So cos really doesn't have the ability to realize cash through normal channels, whether it's Shang Yan or signing sales, not to mention that only a handful of coser who get together have this opportunity, and this realized income can hardly cover the same level of investment in this activity. There are people who make money, tailors who sell clothes, individual operators in the later period, businessmen who run comic exhibitions, but few are simple students coser. Some time ago, people who have a little understanding of Feng Se's death incident know that Feng Se himself can be regarded as a front-line boss in the circle, and his family's economic strength is not weak. The real Bai Fumei, who opened his own studio, took post-production orders, and also sold cos clothes, signed books in Shang Yan. But in the end, he had to make a profit by shooting videos selling obscene pictures. Is it lack of money? Or are those regular income channels far from enough to cover the cost of dozens of sets of pictures a year? She herself closed the studio once before because of the rent problem, which means that she had to admit from a long time ago that she couldn't make any money by opening a studio or something, and even lost the cost. Coincidentally, a parent recently submitted a manuscript and found that his daughter's Alipay earned more than 4, yuan and talked with some transactions with obvious "selling" phases, and this parent usually does not give his children pocket money.

When it comes to Shang Yan, we have to mention the peripheral pheasants and even the online celebrity Party, which are despised by the just friends in the circle. Whenever there is too much exposure in comic exhibition or Shang Yan, they will be labeled as pheasants, or they are not coser, they are outside the circle, and we will not carry this pot. Not to mention the double standard of selling meat in the circle, let's talk about the problem of liquidity itself. Too many Shang Yan platforms have long found that coser can be hired at a very low price, while many merchants who bid high simply use online celebrity instead of asking. After all, it's just a matter of adding a suit to one's face in the eyes of profit-seekers outside the circle. And those coser who have been dubbed pheasants really don't belong to the circle? This is like the question of what is the difference between the photo book and the welfare book.
