Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 663: Let the Mistake Slide: Let the Mistake Slide!

To be honest, when he saw even Xiao He had to carefully climb into bed, Tiger Brother, who was already feeling the relatability, really wanted to laugh.

—Sure enough, no one can escape the fate of being kicked out to smoke on the balcony by their wife.

Even Xiao He couldnʼt escape.

Ahem, no, no—this was way too unrealistic here!

What kind of eyes did this woman have? She couldnʼt even appreciate Xiao He? And she was having an affair?

Wow, just wow.

Waking up every morning to that face, what exactly was she dissatisfied with?

Although Tiger Brother knew this was the arrangement of the plot and character setting, he still found the scene hilarious and decided to include this ”flaw” in his later video.

It inevitably reminded him of a particularly famous film from before, where the wife was paired with the countryʼs national-level heartthrob, yet the story had her falling for someone else, eventually devolving into a cliché love triangle mess, and after all sorts of twists, the wife ended up back with her husband...

To be honest, this kind of plot, so full of fantasy and flaws, seemed strange no matter how you looked at it, but precisely because the actors playing the three roles were so good-looking, the film had actually become a classic.
So, was the plot important? Maybe not that important...

Tiger Brother shook his head, reining in his wandering thoughts, but heard the old man beside him let out a disdainful cold snort.

Turns out, Tiger Brother had been jotting down related events on his phone just now, making it easier to draft his article and produce his video after watching the film.

Because his phone screen was too bright in the dim lighting, Qiu Zhenlong, sitting beside him, had glanced over a few times.

And then this old-fashioned guy was stunned speechless by that cliché classic story of she loves him, he loves her.

And this became a classic masterpiece?

Once again, Qiu Zhenlong felt the shifting times with painful clarity.

So, having a young, popular actor with good buzz and buzzwords star in his work didnʼt seem like a bad idea, right?

And looking at this film, that male lead named Ren Yibai had truly terrible acting skills—

Qiu Zhenlong let out a long sigh, his gaze drifting languidly at the actor on screen who had successfully swapped bodies, shaking his head helplessly.

Actually, Xiao Heʼs earlier acting groundwork was quite helpful for character building. His initial appearance firmly established Zhu Fengʼs personality foundation.

Zhu Feng was a slightly pessimistic and world-weary person, and because he was overly cautious, he came across as excessively timid.

Had he ended up in this situation because he wasnʼt smart enough?

No, not at all.

It was precisely because he was very sharp that he could always pick up on his bossʼs petty tricks, his colleaguesʼ subtle malice, and his wifeʼs increasingly perfunctory attitude and gradually deteriorating feelings.

And it was this very sharpness that made him view everything with particularly dark pessimism, making him prone to overthinking, incredibly good at self-sabotage, and desperate to reflect on himself and please others.

He could change his tie the next day because of a simple joke from a colleague, but before actually entering the company, he would silently remove the changed tie, discreetly tuck it into his pocket, and then force a smile when asked by other colleagues, saying he forgot his tie to cover up the change.

This small detail already showed that he actually longed for change, but feared that change would severely disrupt his current life. So after agonizing back and forth, he ultimately chose a conservative outcome rather than actually making a change.

In front of his boss, his colleagues, and his wife, he was always inferior and cowardly.

And in such an extremely oppressive environment, Zhu Fengʼs life was predictable, unless something earth-shattering happened that could completely change his life—

And that was this body swap.

A drunken business dinner, an accidental collision, and he swapped bodies with a complete stranger.

That strangerʼs life was completely different from his, worlds apart in every way.

Whether it was age difference, personality, or the gap between rich and poor, they were divided into two completely different worlds.

It was as if fate stood behind him, gave him a hard shove, forced him to change, and made him experience a completely different life.

And so, everything that had been suppressed and unwilling to change began to shift with this massive upheaval.

Zhu Fengʼs character had depth; he was absolutely not a simple coward or a lazy good-for-nothing.

It was precisely this personality that could support the subsequent plot development, making him resolve to let the mistake slide, even replacing the original bodyʼs owner and attempting to kill someone.

And there was no doubt about Xiao Heʼs performance—the details he showed connected this entire series of changes, making Zhu Fengʼs soul as the protagonist more vivid and complex.

Until—the soul swap, where the two actors exchanged character roles, and the person playing Zhu Feng became Ren Yibai...

Looking at the big screen, watching the actor acting overly boisterous with slightly exaggerated performances, Qiu Zhenlong really wanted to close his eyes.

Seeing it now, he was really being too picky. Excellent young actors like Xiao He were truly rare; why should he reject such a good actor because of some biases?

He had been terribly wrong!

The person beside him opened his phone again to take notes.

Qiu Zhenlong glanced over.

[Ren Yibaiʼs acting is okay, but he canʼt quite take over Xiao Heʼs character.]

Qiu Zhenlong let out another scornful laugh.

Hah, and this counted as average acting?

If you donʼt need your eyes, donate them to someone who does, okay?

With acting this garbage, is domestic entertainment out of actors?

Hearing the laughter from beside him, Tiger Brother also grew a bit annoyed, but considering the viewing environment of the screening room and the film still playing ahead, he barely held back the urge to retaliate, glancing blandly at this old man who could only ”huff and puff,” and refocused on the big screen ahead.

Heʼd only ever run into annoying brat kids before, but now heʼd run into an annoying old man!

Tiger Brother silently noted another point.

Meanwhile, the plot direction on the big screen was already pretty similar to the original version Tiger Brother had seen.

Because the earlier plot content differed due to different national contexts, some localized adjustments had been made so the story didnʼt feel too jarring, and the latter halfʼs story direction was basically consistent with the original.

From discovering the body swap, to enjoying a different life, to confusion, new choices, beginning to plan a murder, and so on... the director hadnʼt made too many changes, sticking largely to the original versionʼs classic plotline, but what was probably different from the original was Ren Yibaiʼs acting.

Ren Yibaiʼs performance clearly fell short of the original, though it wasnʼt so bad it was unwatchable.

And Xiao Heʼs figure didnʼt appear again during this middle segment.

Tiger Brother was watching with somewhat dwindling interest.

It wasnʼt until the latter half, when the plot suddenly became gripping, that he finally perked up, seriously watching the following scenes.

—Because the character played by Xiao He had finally appeared!

And he appeared at the final murder scene!

When Zhu Feng, using the young killerʼs body, accidentally killed the boss and hurried back to the young killerʼs villa, he discovered that on the TV channel, the police had already apprehended the true culprit—

Under the flashing lights, a crowd of police officers surrounded a handcuffed, disheveled man as he appeared before the cameras, shoving him toward a police car.

The man was wearing a hospital patient gown, his body and hands still stained with blood, looking completely blood-soaked, as if he had just come from a crime scene.

The surrounding people gasped, then, out of fear and dread, took a large step back, quickly clearing a path for the police.

And under the flickering lights, the man seemed to sense someone watching him through the camera, lifting his head slightly, fully revealing that pale and familiar face to the lens.

That face was familiar to many people around the company—it was their colleague, Zhu Feng!

But why? Why would such a quiet, honest man do something like this?

People whispered among themselves, faces showing surprise and lingering fear, especially those colleagues who had often targeted Zhu Feng, now trembling, faces full of terror.

”Zhu Feng” showed no reaction to the othersʼ discussions, simply staring fixedly at the camera before slowly revealing a smile.

That smile was sick and eerie, not only startling Zhu Feng in front of the TV into stumbling back, but also sending a chill through the audience watching.

—Why?

Why was he also at the crime scene?
