What does cosplay mean?
Cosplay is the abbreviation of English costume drama, which translates as "role-playing". Simply put, it is to restore a virtual character in a game, animation, cartoon or film and television in reality through props, make-up and wearing C clothes. The narrow interpretation is to imitate and dress up the characters in the virtual world, also called role-playing. As a result, a new meaning has been derived from the internet, which is often used to describe "a person who pretends to be a certain person". As the name implies, cosplay is the abbreviation of English costume drama, the verb is cos, and people who play cosplay are generally called coser. Generally speaking, the earliest Chinese translation of cosplay came from Taiwan Province Province, which means role-playing.
Speaking of it, cosplay has a long history. It can even be traced back to ancient stage actors. They put on special clothes and play mythical characters, which is similar to the spirit of modern cosplay, and the difference is only the occasion and characters. The birthplace of modern animation cosplay should belong to Mickey Mouse's hometown-America. In 1950s, Mickey Mouse dresser in Disneyland was the true ancestor of coser in the world. It can be said that it is cosplay, as a means of commercial promotion, that is likely to get considerable development and understanding. Cosplay is on the right track with the rapid maturity of the game industry and the endless stream of visual orchestras in ACG industry in Japan, and has become a subsidiary culture of ACG industry, with a very large scale. Every time the ACG industry in Japan holds an animation exhibition and a game exhibition, cartoonists or game producers at each booth will hire some booth ladies to cosplay their own ACG characters to attract the audience. Take Tokyo Game Show as an example, Miss Comic is always an indispensable scenery at the meeting, and even magazines select various Miss Comic Awards every year.
Why is cosplay not understood?
First of all, the first reason, as we all know, most people's knowledge and understanding of cosplay are obtained from the Internet. However, some descriptions of cosplay on the Internet are not so accurate, and even some articles are negative. Just as we can often see some bloggers spreading nude coser photos on Weibo for "eyeballs and traffic", most parents may be disgusted when they see these photos. On the basis of disgust, how can they allow their children to play cos? In fact, we can often see that some so-called "decent" bloggers do not support or even satirize cosplay. Therefore, through the dissemination of this information, parents often feel that the cos circle is immature. Not to mention the effect of those nude photos on parents. In fact, coser's "strange clothes" will also make parents disgusted, which may be the most unacceptable for parents. And from another perspective, we also know that most people who play cosplay are young, including junior high school students, senior high school students, college students and even some primary school students. In fact, in the eyes of most parents, these stages should be studied hard, rather than playing so-called hobbies such as cos.
Secondly, second, we all know that playing cosplay is very expensive. As for some young ladies who play cos around me, there are generally thousands of small skirts, and most cos lovers are crazy about buying skirts. It is unacceptable that most parents have great interest in playing this kind of consumption. On the one hand, the family economy is unacceptable, on the other hand, parents don't want their children to develop the habit of arrogance and extravagance.
Finally, for the third reason, we all know that cos actually originated from the second world, and almost all people who like cosplay are followers of the second world. In the eyes of our parents, real life is different from the second world, and real life is real. Comparatively speaking, the second world is a non-existent world and a false world, so most parents think that children should not indulge in the second world, let alone imitate the roles in the second world, that is, play cosplay.
Why are cosplay clothes so expensive?
1.cosplay clothes have low practical value. Some people may ask, what is the relationship between use value and expensive? It's actually wrong. For example, if you buy an ordinary dress, 1000 yuan, but you can wear it for half a year, you won't feel expensive. On the contrary, COSPLAY clothing is only a prop in the final analysis, and there is a high probability that it is a disposable prop. Considering the practicality and convenience, cosplay clothes are naturally expensive.
2.cosplay clothes are mostly customized. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, it is impossible to mass-produce this kind of clothes. ? Considering that most people say that cosplay needs a lot of props, clothes must match coser's answer perfectly. ? Therefore, it must be customized. If it is an unpopular role or an emerging role, then the tailor may also have to do clothing design projects, and the price will naturally not be compressed.
? 3.3.cos suit small workshop has great cost pressure. In fact, compared with foreigners, domestic clothes are already very cheap, and small workshops that make cos clothes have to face some embarrassing problems. Strictly speaking, clothes made by small workshops belong to "three no products". If someone unfortunately reports the implementation, they have to take it off the shelf and cannot sell it. Coupled with too many warehouses in small workshops, cos clothes can't be sold in theory, and the result can only be treated as waste. If the customer says no, theoretically the clothes will be scrapped, which is also a loss. The risk is so great that the cost can't come down naturally.
