Whether it was the salary of over a million yuan or the opportunity for a supporting role promised by Director Jin, both were extremely important to Yu Ningning and Su Daji at this time.
Therefore, early the next morning, Qin Shi Huang was dragged out of bed by Yu Ningning and Su Daji and dressed up in a grand and elaborate manner.
—She was wearing the same outfit Qin Shi Huang wore on the day Yu Ningning first met him. It consisted of dozens of layers, including a crown, belt, inner shirt, and outer robe.
To my shame, because I found the outfit too fussy and the fabric too precious and difficult to wash, Yu Ningning always made Qin Shi Huang wear only the simplest inner garment when working at the mental hospital.
Although this decent-looking undergarment was enough to fool the viewers in the live stream, for experts familiar with the clothing and etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang's attire was tantamount to running around naked in his underwear every day.
That's probably why Su Daji was so devastated when she suddenly saw Qin Shi Huang dressed like that, with that demeanor, and with that kind of status.
Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.
After donning the complete imperial crown and wide-sleeved robe, Qin Shi Huang's demeanor changed drastically. His eyes became as sharp as a hawk's, and his every move exuded an imposing aura, carrying the dignified air of someone who had long held a high position.
For a few moments, Yu Ningning even thought that the person standing in front of her was the emperor who had once unified the continent, created the prefecture-county system, and was later known as a tyrant.
But the next moment, her fantasy shattered.
Just as he nodded in satisfaction at his reflection in the mirror, Qin Shihuang turned to look at Yu Ningning, cautiously extending his hand and saying, "You haven't given me the ten yuan from yesterday."
Yu Ningning: ...
After handing over yesterday's wages with a face full of sullen grimace, Yu Ningning gritted her teeth and uttered a death threat: "When we get to the set later, you can only speak when I tell you to. If I don't tell you to speak, you can't say a single extra word, or you can expect to be washing potatoes for the rest of your life!"
Su Daji covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying gently, "Dean, please rest assured. When I was working at the An Group, I inquired about Director Jin. He is a person who is extremely passionate about art. He is very self-centered when filming, especially when choosing actors. He is very particular about the first impression of their temperament."
"Who in this world could resemble Qin Shi Huang more than Brother Ying? Just based on that imposing presence at first glance, this role definitely belongs to Brother Ying."
"If we pass the audition, the dean must not be stingy and must treat us to a good meal to celebrate."
"For example, I think that claypot rice looks pretty good."
Yu Ningning: ...
In the mental hospital with only three people, one is a Qin Shi Huang cosplay enthusiast whose lifelong dream is to blow up the Terracotta Army Museum, and the other is a top-level demon concubine imitator who has an extreme love for cannibalism.
This life is so numbingly exhausting.
Because Yu Ningning didn't buy a car; and because Yun County is too remote to hail a taxi; today, the three of them still use a bright red farm tricycle as their mode of transportation.
To be honest, the image of Qin Shi Huang dressed in full regalia and Su Daji in a flamboyant ancient costume, alongside a bright red three-wheeled vehicle with over ten years of driving experience, a simple and unadorned design, and Peppa Pig, the cartoon character favored by the neighbor's grandson, creates a very strong sense of incongruity.
As they drove along the roads of the county town, Yu Ningning and her two companions attracted a crowd of onlookers who were amazed and filmed them.
