Chapter 586: Another Masterpiece?

In the office, Zhong Lin watched the computer and began to marvel at Zhou Tong's acting skills.

"The older brother and the younger brother, two characters displaying completely different personalities, Zhou Tong is acting both of them very well," she thought to herself.

"One person playing two roles, impressive, very impressive!"

Little did she know, she had praised him too early.

This was merely a small stunt by Zhou Tong; the truly impressive parts were still to come.

At this moment, in the Drama, Guan Hongfeng was furious because Guan Hongyu had secretly called a delivery person to bring food.

"Do you have any idea? If you aren't careful, all our efforts will be wasted, and we'll both spend the rest of our lives in prison!" he said to his younger brother, Guan Hongyu.

This left Zhong Lin feeling puzzled.

"As a suspect in the mass murder case, the younger brother Guan Hongyu has the exact same scar on his face as his older brother. Earlier, he said today was the day he regained his freedom. What exactly is going to happen?"

Despite having identical faces and only different hairstyles, the two displayed completely different tones and expressions.

Guan Hongyu said: "For the past six months, I've lived like a ghost, not a human. How is that any different from being in prison?"

"I can't talk, I can't cough, I can't laugh out loud. I can't turn the faucet to the max, I can't use the toilet flush, and I even have to control the volume of my own farts, damn it!"

"Pfft—!" Zhong Lin laughed.

Sorry, you're miserable, but I still find it funny.

Guan Hongyu raised his hands, showing off his gloves: "I wear white gloves all day long. Do I even look like a normal person anymore, damn it? You try it!"

"You might as well just turn me in. Staying in prison is more comfortable than staying here anyway."

Because he had just been slapped by his brother, he added indignantly: "Hit me! Beat me to death! It's the same as hitting yourself anyway. We're inseparable now."

"Wait!" Zhong Lin suddenly pressed the pause button.

She looked at the identical scars on the brothers' faces, her imagination running wild, and then she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"Since the two are exactly the same, could it be that they are using the same identity in public to appear before the Masses!!!"

"Haha, so when he said hitting him is the same as hitting the brother, does that mean if his face gets swollen, the brother has to slap himself until he's swollen too? Hahahaha!" Zhong Lin suddenly felt that although the younger brother character looked hot-tempered, he was inexplicably cute.

After the brothers stopped arguing, the older brother checked the time and told the younger brother he could start preparing.

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up, feeling she had some insight: "Guessed it! They really are going to share one identity in front of everyone! How exciting!"

Immediately after, she saw a scene filmed with a mirror.

The brothers stood in front of the mirror, their hairstyles almost identical, yet from their subtle expressions, their tone of voice, and some small gestures, the audience could intuitively feel who was the older brother and who was the younger!

"Good acting is just comfortable to watch!" Zhong Lin said.

Even though it was one person playing two roles, it gave the impression of a split personality.

She felt that watching the brothers talk while standing in front of the mirror was particularly satisfying.

"It's dark." In the Drama, Guan Hongfeng said, his expression somewhat unnatural.

Guan Hongyu put on the watch that belonged to his brother and said: "Brother, you need to get this Darkness Phobia treated quickly. If the previous ones didn't work, find a better Psychologist."

Clearly, Guan Hongfeng hadn't had this condition for very long, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to remain a captain; there was likely a secret behind this illness.

So, it meant that since the older brother couldn't go out at night, the younger brother would take his place!

At this moment, the phone rang.

In front of his brother, the younger one didn't need to pretend, but when he picked up the phone, his tone changed instantly.

Guan Hongyu raised an eyebrow at his brother Guan Hongfeng, but his voice used almost the exact same tone as his brother's: "Hello, this is Guan Hongfeng."

The slightly intense background music started immediately!

Listening to this line, Zhong Lin felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Luo Mo always hits my preferences precisely!" she thought.

But she quickly realized, it wasn't just hitting her preferences, but the preferences of the Masses!

……..

……..

Now, Zhong Lin couldn't wait to see the scene where Guan Hongyu used Guan Hongfeng's identity to appear before everyone!

Zhong Lin had initially thought this kind of plot would be gradual—start with a small side quest, walk around in front of people who weren't very familiar, and then tackle the big quest.

But who would have thought it would be so exciting right from the start, going straight to the police force!

One had to know, Zhou Xun was too familiar with Guan Hongfeng; he used to work under Guan Hongfeng.

Most importantly, the police force also had Guan Hongyu's girlfriend, a woman who loved him deeply!

What made Zhong Lin feel the pacing of this show was tight and nerve-wracking was: "They actually started by taking over the brother's identity to act as a consultant for the police force, explaining and analyzing cases for them!"

Facing every question, Guan Hongyu would answer slowly.

And at these moments, the screen would cut to the scene where Guan Hongfeng was explaining and analyzing the case for Guan Hongyu.

Guan Hongfeng's words and expressions were incomparably calm and exceptionally rational.

This back-and-forth switching of the brothers' roles was truly compelling.

Zhong Lin thought at this moment: "What if they encounter a question that's out of their depth during the exchange and questioning!"

As it turned out, they really did encounter one.

The screen dimmed and returned to a flashback. It was Guan Hongfeng giving instructions on what to do if he encountered a question he couldn't answer.

But Guan Hongyu was already tired of listening and said: "Alright, brother, I've been learning from you for so long, it's always been just theory. Today I can finally go out and practice. Besides, I'm not a three-year-old child, stop nagging, I'll definitely improvise."

—"Improvisation."

"Then do you know what to do?" Guan Hongfeng asked.

"I'll definitely have a way, okay?" Guan Hongyu said: "And it definitely won't be a stupid trick like making an excuse to go to the bathroom."

The scene returned to the police force.

Guan Hongyu couldn't answer the question, suggested everyone take a break, and said he needed to go to the restroom—a slap in the face at the speed of light.

That's out of bounds, you stinky little sister, your question is out of bounds!

——《Adapting to the Situation》.

Heh, I was talking about the washroom, I certainly didn't say toilet.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Guan Hongfeng, who suffers from Darkness Phobia and was left home alone, suddenly encountered a power outage.

The room was instantly plunged into pitch darkness!

At this moment, Zhong Lin once again marveled at Zhou Tong's masterful acting.

That cold sweat on his forehead, the twitching facial muscles, the subtle expressions and gaze—it was all acted too well.

Just like that, the first episode ended!

"Ah! The next part should be explaining the reason for the Darkness Phobia, right?"

"What a brilliant cliffhanger!" She spat softly in her heart.

However, she had a good mindset; after all, she had special privileges and could watch the full series.

Zhong Lin was just about to watch the next episode directly when she heard Luo Mo's singing during the end credits.

"Eh, is this ending theme song sung by Luo Mo?"

She instantly became interested and decided to listen to the whole song.

However, while listening to this song, she suddenly had a super evocative feeling.

"These lyrics, they really have a vibe!"

"【Only when dawn blends with the night,

are there brief, overlapping moments】."

Isn't this just the identity swap between day and night?

She continued to listen.

"【Day and night only alternate, never exchange,

unable to imagine the other's world.

We still insist on waiting in our respective places,

standing ourselves into two worlds.】"

Hearing this, she felt something was a bit off again; it felt like it fit the Drama, yet also like it didn't.

Why?

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be Luo Mo's level.

Writing songs has always been his greatest strength, and he also wrote the script for this show; it makes no sense that he couldn't fully match the lyrics to the Drama.

Most importantly, there was that line in the chorus: "【You will never understand my sorrow, just as the day does not understand the night's darkness.】"

She felt the brothers were getting along okay; didn't the older brother want to clear the younger brother's name?

They should trust each other and understand each other very well.

Didn't the older brother sacrifice so much just to protect the younger brother, convinced he wasn't the real culprit of the massacre?

But, based on her immense trust in Luo Mo, she boldly guessed: "Perhaps there will be something unexpected in the later content?"

In reality, Team Leader Zhong Lin's intuition was quite accurate.

In *White Night*, there are quite a few Reversals that make people applaud in admiration.

Especially the parts that can be connected with the lyrics of this song, *The Day Does Not Understand the Night's Darkness*!

You have to know, this is a work with a rating as high as 9.0 on Douban.

Zhong Lin sat in her office, watching episode after episode, unable to stop at all. Many scenes were truly terrifying yet she couldn't help but watch; she was a coward but had a big addiction.

It wasn't until her husband called to ask what she wanted to eat for dinner that she came back to her senses.

"In another ten minutes, it will be time to get off work." Zhong Lin checked her phone.

"Luo Mo's shows are always so torturous."

"Following a series is very painful; you can't wait to know what happens next."

"And for someone like me who watches the full series directly, I'll likely stay up late; I always feel addicted, which affects my sleep schedule."

Of course, if conditions permit—please feel free to trample on my sleep schedule!

After she gets home today, she will definitely continue watching alone in the study.

Zhong Lin took a deep breath. As a team leader in the Review Department, although she still held a wait-and-see attitude toward new things like web dramas, she still hoped for more high-quality dramas like this in the country.

"Of course, good Actors are also very important."

Her intuition told her that this was Zhou Tong's first time starring as the male lead in a Luo Mo production, and he was Afraid to be about to explode in popularity.

She had already discovered a very crucial point now.

"This isn't just one person playing two roles."

"He has to play the older brother, the younger brother, the older brother pretending to be the younger brother, and the younger brother pretending to be the older brother."

Zhong Lin exclaimed: "This is clearly one person playing four roles!"
