Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
Xiao...
Now, he has no choice but to go with the flow and become the new owner of this body!
After a moment of confusion, Zhu Feng was overjoyed. A young and healthy body, a life of wealth and power... wasn't this a completely new life?!
At the same time, Zhu Feng unexpectedly discovers that this body is plotting a new murder, and the target is none other than his boss!
Thinking of the humiliation he suffered at the company and his current identity, Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and decided to use his current identity to kill his former boss and avenge his past self.
And so the story begins...
Although the protagonist of this script is Zhu Feng, his soul is transferred to the body of an assassin. So, the seemingly protagonist, the office worker, is actually the second male lead, the role played by Xiao He, while the actor playing the assassin's body is the real male lead.
Furthermore, while reading the script, Xiao He discovered that although the character of this office worker seemed to be the "protagonist," all the frustration and humiliation actually needed to be acted out by him. On the contrary, the scenes with the assassin's body were all about being cool, domineering, and awesome, and were enjoyable all the way through. Even in the final fight scene, he won a round because of his good physical condition. So, the script actually reasonably transferred the embarrassment and frustration to the second male lead actor, and the lead actor only needed to be handsome.
For example, in the scenes before the protagonist Zhu Feng swaps souls, he is a slovenly middle-aged man, a miserable office worker who is treated like a dog by his boss at work, has no human rights whatsoever, and is cowardly and submissive. At home, he is also an incompetent husband with no say, lives in a separate room from his wife, and spends his days smoking and drinking. He is in a completely decadent state.
And all of these scenes belong to Xiao He.
After the soul swap, Xiao He plays a "vegetative" person in bed, lying there from beginning to end. Only at the very end does the plot twist occur, and in the finale, he takes on the role of an assassin and fights with Zhu Feng for control of his body...
Just as Liu Rulan said, this script is definitely a "supporting role".
Xiao He felt frustrated, but others got to show off.
This assassin's villainous style does indeed have some of the flavor of Xiao He's early work, Mu Ze—simply enjoying killing and enjoying art.
The plot of "Mistaken Identity" is somewhat similar to the absurdity of an honest man being forced into a dangerous situation, causing a ruckus, and then returning to his original state. It combines comedy and dark satire to explore social issues and human nature. The only pity is that the forced happy ending also shows some of the cultural incompatibility of the Korean version after entering the Chinese market, and the style of the script is relatively disjointed.
Xiao He guessed that the production team wanted to promote a member of the royal family because he had been in the limelight recently, so they wanted him to play a villainous role similar to the protagonist.
Hey, this is interesting.
Replicating his famous character's personality and then casting him in a supporting role—it all seems like a replacement.
It's no wonder Liu Rulan was somewhat worried.
But Xiao He found it unexpectedly interesting.
How can this kind of correspondence between the script and the outside world not be an interesting challenge?
In the story, Zhu Feng, in the body of an assassin, kills the real assassin and takes his place. In reality, would this guy have such good luck?
As Xiao He pondered, his fingers occasionally tapped the tablet, and finally a playful smile appeared on his face.
He took out his phone and called Liu Rulan again.
"Hey? You haven't already made up your mind, have you?"
Liu Rulan's voice was filled with surprise.
"Yes, I'll take it."
Xiao He swiped his finger across the screen, his gaze landing on Zhu Feng's name, and said casually.
"An incompetent husband, a frustrated killer... I've never played these roles before, I'm a little curious."
Liu Rulan: "..."
So, with so much script content, you're just focusing on these two tags?!
