Chapter 27 Disguise
the next morning.
Huang Xu and his three companions arrived near the exhibition hall early, waiting for it to open.
Today is the first day of the 2012 Tokyo Game Show (TGS). There is still half an hour before the doors open, but the entrance is already crowded with people who want to get there early.
Huang Xu and his friends were under the shade of a tree not far away, looking at the crowded crowd and breaking out in cold sweats.
They didn't expect there would be so many people here, and so many of them were carrying various equipment and taking pictures.
If it was just Huang Xu himself, then there wouldn't be any problem, just let him be photographed.
But looking at the scene today, especially the people crowded at the entrance, basically everyone has a camera, or even several cameras.
This put Huang Xu and the others in a difficult position.
I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm mainly worried that Sunny and Kim Taeyeon will be recognized and posted online, which would be inappropriate.
Although it is no secret that Sunny and Kim Taeyeon are game geeks, only people who are familiar with them know about it.
Now is not the era when stars can "have fun with the people" as in later generations. Today's stars, especially idol stars, do not need to maintain a sense of mystery as they did ten years ago.
However, there are still many brokerage companies that require idols to maintain their own personalities as much as possible, and do not want their idols to travel around.
Especially since their Japanese single is going to be released in a few days, we don’t want them to have any other news.
So when the two of them looked at those people, they were a little worried that they would be photographed and uploaded to the Internet. If they were recognized, it would be a bit troublesome.
Huang Xu also understood their difficulties. After all, this period of time was indeed quite awkward.
It would be fine if they didn't have any activities on weekdays, but they are about to release a song, and it's a bit unreasonable for them to come to a place like this to visit a game exhibition.
Just when Huang Xu was worrying about how to bring the two of them to the exhibition safely, Sunny next to him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Huang Xu, look at those cosplayers in the passage."
Huang Xu followed Sunny's finger and saw the cosplay enthusiasts gathered not far away.
"COSER? Do you want to?"
"Well, why don't we find a set of masks and wear them like that to go in?"
"Sister, won't it be more conspicuous if you go in like this? Besides, they'll basically be taking pictures outside these two days and won't be entering the exhibition."
"Ah, what should I do?"
Looking at the two anxious people, Huang Xu was frantically thinking about helping them think of a solution.
This place is full of various cameras and people are constantly taking pictures. It would be difficult to hide it with ordinary camouflage methods.
After all, the items they use most often are sunglasses, scarves and hats, but these are not very practical in this place.
First of all, in order to better display the content inside the venue, the lighting here is not very bright, and it is not realistic to wear sunglasses inside.
Hats are fine, but they can't cover their faces.
At this moment, Huang Xu suddenly remembered something and asked the two of them:
"Can you put on makeup?"
"Of course I will. What's the matter?"
"Then do you know how to change a person into another person?"
"Another look?"
"Well, it is through makeup techniques that you can transform your..." What Huang Xu just remembered was the beauty blogger videos he saw when he was watching short videos in his previous life. Among them, there is a type of blogger who can transform themselves into another person through magical makeup techniques.
Unfortunately, his idea was good, but the two people in front of him couldn't do it, and were even stepped on by Sunny.
"Oh, you mean makeup? This is disguise, right?"
"Can't you do it?"
"It's impossible. If it's what you said, it should be a makeup artist with higher skills, or a special effects makeup artist who has this skill."
Kim Taeyeon also gave an explanation at this time, and continued to explain their makeup and styling abilities. They were only the most basic. Some more complicated stage makeups require professional makeup artists.
"Okay, what should we do now? We're already here, we can't not go in."
"Forget it, even if I'm discovered, the worst that can happen is that I'll get scolded by the company."
Huang Xu couldn't help but admire Sunny's fearless look on his face as he watched her ready to die.
I admire her for being able to accept being scolded by the company just for playing games.
Just when the three of them accepted their fate and were prepared to be discovered if they were discovered, Huang Xu suddenly saw a group of people in front of him and hurriedly grabbed the two of them.
"I've thought of a way."
After saying this, he pulled the two of them aside and began to explain his thoughts.
It turned out that among the group of people who had just walked past, he saw two people wearing masks.
It's only 2012, not 2022. Generally, no one would choose to wear a mask at this time.
However, when Huang Xu saw that even though the two were wearing masks, no one paid attention to them, he remembered a piece of news he had read before, and he knew what to do.
Because he remembered the news that mentioned an interesting custom in Japan. Many people here wear masks all year round even if they are not sick. They are called the Ida Mask Tribe.
And the number of people in this group will tend to increase with the arrival of winter flu and pollen season.
So at this time, wearing a mask here is not a very noticeable thing.
So, if Sunny and the other girl just put on masks and simply lower their skin color to make themselves less conspicuous, can they reduce the chances of being discovered?
At the same time, Huang Xu asked the driver to take the three of them to a nearby small shopping mall and bought some clothes to change into.
The style of these clothes is very different from their previous styles, but they are similar to many people in the venue today.
Combined with the masks, black-framed glasses, baseball caps and skin tone-lowering, Huang Xu didn't believe anyone could recognize them in the relatively dark environment of the venue.
Sunny and Kim Taeyeon were also excited when they saw their ordinary figures in the mirror.
As a popular girl group that has debuted for five years, what they fear most when they go out is being discovered and watched.
The usual camouflage methods are hats, scarves and sunglasses, but today Huang Xu gave them a new idea, which is to make themselves less conspicuous through makeup and clothes.
This way, you can reduce the chance of being discovered when you go out to play.
Of course, these are all later stories. Now they are rushing to the venue to attend the exhibition and see what games the major game manufacturers have!
I'm quite excited today, so I'll write another chapter.
I also hope that all book lovers will not keep books to themselves. Keeping books to themselves on Qidian can really kill people.
The starting point now is that the most important thing is to catch up with the reading data. I hope that all book friends can turn the page after reading the update.
Thank you all!
