Chapter 109: Taking Pictures
The Tokyo Comic Con lasts for several days, and there are two main components, one is the corporate exhibition area and the other is the individual exhibition area.
The main purpose of enterprises that have rented a conspicuous booth here is nothing more than to promote their business and increase their visibility.
Selling merchandise or something, that's all secondary. As for the individuals who rent the booth, the main purpose is to be able to sell the related products better.
This has become one of their sources of income. Since it is a business, then there will naturally be a situation of loss and profit.
Some of them did make money, while some of them didn't even get back the money for renting their booths, let alone keeping their capital.
In the personal exhibition area, there are a variety of fandom, secondary creations, and other products. Even if there are some infringing acts and contents, they will not be sued by the company.
On the one hand, it does play a role in further publicity for related enterprises, and on the other hand, even if you sue, you can't get much compensation.
The court's judgment will be based on the amount of unjust profits made by the infringing party, and will not be based on the amount of the infringed party or the enterprise.
For enterprises, even if they win the lawsuit, the money they will be paid is not much, and I am afraid that even the lawyer's fees will not be enough. So, there's no nitpicking at all.
In other words, enterprises also have a weak heart that can only watch being touched by porcelain and take advantage of it. In addition, underground idols and other things will also gather here.
Take pictures, record and broadcast...... Both inside and outside the venue. There are all kinds of COSERS that can be seen everywhere. Some of them are specially hired by the company.
However, this is ultimately a minority. Most of them are personal hobbies. Ayaka Kato falls into the latter category. Her Rem appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Kentaro Miyamoto, who walked next to her, still had a Nikon SLR camera hanging from his chest. It's not his, it's Kato Ayaka's. I'm in charge of taking pictures of her.
Ayaka Kato said with emotion, "There are a lot more people than I expected."
Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully, "Due to the epidemic, the Tokyo Comic Con has been suspended. For this reason, how many otaku are sad.
The resumption of the Tokyo Comic Con has naturally succeeded in achieving a strong bottoming out. Not only the otaku in Japan, but also the otaku who have good economic conditions abroad are also coming by plane."
Ayaka Kato smiled and said, "The otaku all over the world are really a family that loves each other."
Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly, "If you really don't have any money, you can't be an otaku if you want to. Ah Zhai mainly invests his income into the hobby of the second dimension.
In my personal opinion, this is not fundamentally different from those who spend their money on hobbies such as traveling, skiing, surfing, golfing, etc.
I have to say that there is no difference, it can't be just the threshold is high or low. This is a very low threshold for becoming a two-dimensional enthusiast, and it is also extremely close to the people.
Of course, high-end two-dimensional enthusiasts invest in this one, and that's more. Isn't there such a saying? One wall of otaku is a suite.
Then there are the bankrupt sisters, one Lolita, and the other is JK. Even if it's this set of Rem COS equipment on you, it's not cheap."
Ayaka Kato said the most simple truth: "Who makes yourself like?"
Kentaro Miyamoto knows that once Japanese people like something, they must be quite willing to spend money. For this, they even do not hesitate to go into debt.
None of this is considered extreme. The real extreme is that the one who has long been in debt, and eating is a problem, and he resolutely does not sell his hobby collection.
Ayaka Kato stopped moving forward and said, "You can take a few pictures of me right here."
Kentaro Miyamoto also stopped and said, "Actually, I think you can sell photos. Or, you pay someone to take pictures of you for a certain amount of time."
Ayaka Kato crossed her hands and made an "X" in front of her, expressing her refusal, "I
Don't you!"
Kentaro Miyamoto was not lobbying, but out of an investment instinct for his own business, he said, "You don't need to be shy at all! You see, there are a lot of young and cute girls here who do just that!"
Ayaka Kato was not moved in the slightest and was persuaded, "Don't, resolutely don't."
Kentaro Miyamoto understands that the reason why she refuses is that the other party is not for money, nor for fame. It's entirely out of Ayaka Kato's personal hobby, not really.
She will also post these photos of herself on her personal social platforms. Who made her the head of the ACGN club at Waseda University?
Kentaro Miyamoto didn't persuade him anymore, so he distanced himself from him face to face and prepared to take pictures. Ayaka Kato began to pose in front of him. He took pictures of her seriously.
After a short while, a boy who was similar to his youth took the initiative to approach him and asked without any malice, "How do you charge?"
Kentaro Miyamoto didn't say no, "You want to shoot her too."
The young boy nodded, and showed some embarrassed shyness, "Well, she's cute. No, no, Rem is cute."
Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "You also think she looks like Rem, don't you?"
The young boy honestly said, "Yes."
Hearing the conversation between them, Ayaka Kato suddenly interjected and said, "I am shooting privately and do not accept any form of photography by others."
The young boy understood when he heard this, and said with a disappointed expression, "Sorry to interrupt me."
Kentaro Miyamoto stopped, "Don't be in a hurry to leave! She won't let you shoot her, but it doesn't stop us from talking. Who made us all love Rem?"
The young boy immediately opened up the conversation and said, "I didn't like Rem because of her image in the anime, but because of the light "Re: Life in a Different World from Scratch".
I really like Rem a girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, strong on the inside, and very gentle. She's really, really, really lovely.
Even if she has a poisonous tongue, it doesn't affect how much I like her. I also like her sister Ram. It's just that I still like Rem more than Rem."
Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly, "I'm the opposite of you. I liked the character of Rem after watching the light adaptation of the anime "Re: Life in a Different World from Zero".
Maid outfit, very good at taking care of people, single-minded, gentle, short hair, big breasts, these elements all poked my personal XP. Especially when she laughs, I can't resist it."
