Today's NPC daily life at Kaifeng Wansui Mountain has come to a successful end. As an NPC who needs to shuttle around the park every day in different stylings, maintaining a good state is actually quite a physical test. Makeup starts at 8:00 AM, and the base makeup needs to be applied slightly thicker than usual, because both the park's lighting and sunlight are very strong, and there are a large number of close-up shots and group photos with tourists, requiring assurance that it won't reflect light or cake on camera. The wig needs to be worn tightly with the hairnet pulled tight, and various hair accessories and headpieces must also be firmly secured with bobby pins to prevent them from suddenly falling off during interactions.
Today's leather-textured short skirt in a black and pink color scheme paired with black stockings, along with the signature horn-shaped hair accessories, is considered one of the more flattering stylings in recent sets. Putting on the black long gloves and holding a prop rose in hand, many passing tourists will stop to take pictures. Compared to the sweet style with pink fluffy animal ears from a few days ago, or the stage style with golden twintails, this set has a bit more of a little demon or dark cool vibe. Actually, each style has different ways of interacting. For the pink fluffy series, more canes will be used during interactions, making a heart shape or a cat paw gesture; for this gothic style, holding a red rose, turning slightly to the side, and giving the gaze a slight hint of aggressiveness will make the atmosphere of the resulting photos completely different.
The park's environment is actually a challenge for cosers and NPCs. There are many metal pillars and reflective glass guardrails near our working area. When taking pictures, special attention must be paid to finding angles, because reflections easily break the immersion, and there will be a large number of passing tourists in the background. Therefore, when posing, I will try my best to focus my sight on the photographer's or tourists' phone lenses, using posture to guide the center of gravity of the frame. Sometimes after a whole day, facial muscles will ache from maintaining a smile and specific expressions for a long time, and the soles of the feet will swell from wearing high-heeled long boots or specific footwear. But as long as I see the surprised looks of tourists, especially children, or hear them shouting that this older sister is so pretty, I feel that the fatigue brought by this outfit is reduced by more than half.
As an amusement park NPC, the most important thing is not just looking good on the outside, but also being able to catch the tourists' interactions. Many tourists will ask if they can take a picture together or cooperate in doing a gesture. At this time, it is necessary to quickly judge the other person's needs. For example, if some tourists are relatively shy, I will proactively step forward a bit and make a V-sign; if it's a photographer with professional long lenses and cameras, I will give gazes and body language according to the costume's settings. During this period of doing sweet girl cosplay at Wansui Mountain, the biggest feeling is that costumes and makeup are not only external packaging, but also switches to get into character. As long as I put on this outfit, facing the lens and tourists, I must bring out 100% vitality. Every time I see everyone happy because of my styling, I feel this job is particularly valuable. Next, I will continue to unlock more stylings, and be an NPC who brings happiness in this Gufeng amusement park full of Jianghu atmosphere and fireworks of life.
