This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 381 Are you sure you want to read this while you're eating?
After greeting Ji Yongsheng, Lu Ran got into the car.

Ji Yongsheng wasn't in a hurry to talk about anything. He had already booked a private room, and since he had already met Lu Ran, there was no need to rush.

Once inside the private room, the two chatted for a while before Ji Yongsheng brought out a bottle of red wine.

His bottle of red wine doesn't look cheap at all.

But now, whenever Lu Ran sees alcohol, he recalls the scene of Principal Chen chugging a whole bottle of beer in one go.

Lu Ran had to admit that he really couldn't drink alcohol.

"President Ji, I won't drink. Have you watched 'Day and Night'?"

Ji Yongsheng didn't insist, nor did he take the wine back.

"I already brought this wine, you can just take it with you later."

Ji Yongsheng smiled and said, "I haven't watched Day and Night yet. I plan to wait until I see you before watching it. If there's anything I don't understand about the plot, I can ask you."

Crime thrillers like this always have a lot of suspense.

Ji Yongsheng could not stand this.

But Lu Ran sent him a sample episode, not the full series.

It was so painful to watch half of it.

"You don't mind, do you?" Ji Yongsheng asked.

Lu Ran: "Are you sure you want to watch Day and Night while you're eating?"

Ji Yongsheng: "What's inappropriate about it? These days, people watch dramas while eating, and I often watch dramas while eating."

Lu Ran didn't say anything more.

Ji Yongsheng, go ahead and watch it if you want, just don't regret it.

Ji Yongsheng happily took out the tablet computer, while his assistant busied himself with it.

After the food was served, Lu Ran silently ate his rice.

Ji Yongsheng then opened the first episode of "Day and Night".

He took a bite of food before looking at the screen.

However, at the very beginning of the video, all you see is red.

The story officially begins with the sound of a knife cutting through something.

"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our city's police officers, the suspect in the February 13th family annihilation case has been identified..."

On television, the host broadcast an arrest warrant.

In the video, a pair of men's eyes appear.

There was blood around the man's eyes.

The man's eyes are exactly the same as the person in the wanted poster photo.

The axe in his hand was stained with blood, and blood was still dripping onto the floor.

When the news broadcast ended, the man continued hacking away with his axe.

After reading just the beginning, Ji Yongsheng felt like he couldn't swallow the food he had just eaten.

He looked at Lu Ran, but seeing that Lu Ran was focused on cooking, he didn't say anything.

"What is this? It's so exciting right from the start. This is a completely different style from the beginning."

"The Beginning" is suspenseful and engaging, but the opening is bloody.

"Keep watching."

Ji Yongsheng continued reading.

The film begins with a group of people squatting in a pile of rubble, with black bags on the ground containing human remains.

Ji Yongsheng looked at the chicken feet he had just picked up with his chopsticks.

"Dude, this is..."

Ji Yongsheng really couldn't eat anymore, so he put the chicken feet down.

This drama really gives him a different feeling than other dramas.

The main feature has begun, and the plot has officially unfolded.

Police here are investigating this dismemberment case.

Branch Captain Zhou Xun and newly arrived police academy graduate Zhou Shutong also made an appearance.

To Ji Yongsheng's surprise, he did not recognize either of the two actors.

During the conversation, the identity of the male protagonist, Guan Hongfeng, was revealed.

This is a criminal investigation expert.

But then, Zhou Shutong saw Guan Hongyu's wanted poster on a telephone pole. Zhou Shutong's little mind couldn't quite process it.

Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu are clearly connected.

To keep things fresh, Ji Yongsheng didn't look at any information about "Day and Night" at first, so that he could immerse himself more in the story.

Guan Hongfeng arrived quickly.

This is a long take.

The camera then follows Guan Hongfeng, then Zhou Shutong, and then through the van to Guan Hongfeng and Zhou Xun.

Throughout the entire long take, all the images are in motion.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details.

After watching this long take, Ji Yongsheng's eyes lit up.

"This director has impressive directing skills."

Over the years, he has watched far too many dramas in the Chinese entertainment industry.

It's not that the actors in these dramas performed poorly; it's because the audience only noticed the actors.

In reality, those directors weren't much better.

The phenomenon of favoritism is very serious in this circle.

A famous director opens a company and employs a bunch of directors, so he gives all the resources to his own directors.

That's all understandable, but the key issue is that the filming itself is subpar.

In many dramas, the staging of scenes can be described as a complete mess.

These directors never even shoot long takes; even when there should be action, the actors stand still and deliver the performance.

When actor A speaks, actor A gets a big head cut off; when actor B speaks, actor B gets a big head cut off.

The actors are not visible moving in the entire scene.

To bring things to life, actors need to deliver strong performances, and the director needs to orchestrate the action effectively.

In the previous shot, Zhou Shutong was moving, as were Guan Hongfeng, Zhou Xun, and the other police officers.

There were also onlookers outside the quarantine zone.

The foreground, middle ground, and background all need to be directed by the director.

"Meng Yichuan is capable of this level? He must have been instructed by Lu Ran!"

This long take didn't end quickly; there was another part afterward.

Ji Yongsheng became more and more engrossed in watching.

The entire plot unfolds gradually.

Guan Hongfeng was originally the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, but he left the police force because his younger brother Guan Hongyu was wanted. He was invited by Zhou Xun to serve as a consultant to assist the police force in handling cases.

He secretly wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the case involving Guan Hongyu.

Zhou Xun clearly had ulterior motives; he appeared to have invited Guan Hongfeng to be his advisor, but in reality, he was keeping a close eye on Guan Hongfeng.

He assigned Zhou Shutong, a new police officer, to be Guan Hongfeng's assistant, which also served as a way of keeping an eye on Guan Hongfeng.

Later, Guan Hongfeng, who had just arrived at the latest scene, received a call from a food delivery driver.

"I just delivered food to your house. Did you leave my employee ID at your house? My ID number is..."

Guan Hongfeng hung up the phone before the other party could finish speaking.

Zhou Xun kept staring at him, wondering if the call was from Guan Hongyu.

"Completely different from the beginning."

Before Ji Yongsheng could react, the severed hand appeared on the screen again.

During the investigation, Guan Hongfeng was clearly thinking about other things.

He asked Zhou Shutong to check the surveillance footage, sent Zhou Shutong away, and then took a taxi straight home.

His home was dimly lit and had its doors and windows tightly closed, making it seem very eerie.

After entering the room, Guan Hongfeng started looking around when suddenly a hand patted his shoulder.

When the camera turned, Ji Yongsheng saw a face exactly like Guan Hongfeng's, except for the hairstyle.

"Holy crap, it's Guan Hongyu!"

Ji Yongsheng was immediately drawn to this plot.

Good heavens, the police advisor hid the suspect in his house. What if they found out?

Ji Yongsheng looked at Lu Ran: "An actor playing two roles?"
