Picspam: Ye Zun at the Inspectorate

In episode 36, Ye Zun visits the Inspectorate, dressed up to the nines in Maximum Drama Costume™, white suit and golden mask and cane and all, provoking/menacing/trolling Minister Gao and Professor Ouyang under the guise of "building bridges".

I love everything about Ye Zun in this scene: his little pony tail, his pimp cane, the suit, the way he moves, his head-tilts, leaning against things or towards people, his facial expressions (especially his grin). The bow at the end! His playful arrogance and generally unhinged air that makes him all the more threatening. And the way the camera supports the way everything about him is off by adding its own tilt. So here's a collection of Ye Zun looking fabulous! (As usual, click for full size.)

  • Did you ever notice how much Ye Zun has his eyes closed in this scene? Or how much he plays with his cane? All his provocations are delightful. :D

  • How do you think Ye Zun chose his outfit? Is this actually his taste in suits (as opposed to his poor imitation of Shen Wei's taste when he impersonates him), or is this chosen purely for effect?

  • Is Ye Zun having as much fun as he seems to be having? In a kinder world, would he have been a performer?
