Zhu Feng was arrested for murder.

However, this Zhufeng is not the same as that Zhufeng.

The person who was arrested was indeed "Zhu Feng," but that was only Zhu Feng's identity and Zhu Feng's body.

The real culprit is him, and he isn't either.

Zhu Feng sat blankly in front of the television screen, a chill running through his body.

He had thought that the soul in this body would awaken in his body sooner or later, but he never expected that the person would awaken so early and suddenly appear at the crime scene!

No, when exactly was it?

When did that person wake up?

Zhu Feng was initially pleased with himself, thinking that by using someone else's body to commit murder, he could perfectly create an alibi for "himself" lying in the hospital and avoid attracting the attention of the police.

As long as they accept the investigation as a misunderstanding, they can both escape legal punishment.

But to his utter surprise, after he used this body to commit murder, the victim suddenly appeared at the scene, covered in blood, and was arrested by the police, exposed on camera as a suspect—as if after going around in circles, the matter was still presented in a misplaced way and returned to its original fate.

Zhu Feng is the murderer!

It was Zhu Feng's soul that killed the boss, but it was his body that the police caught!

The endings are the same, though the paths may differ!

At this moment, the plot of "Making a Mistake" finally begins to shift perspectives, and Xiao He, who has been lying down for most of the story, finally reappears.

Zhu Feng, who should have been lying in the hospital, slowly lit a cigarette.

The disheveled man, now completely free of worry and hesitation, stared intently at the furtive figure of the young man downstairs, and scoffed disdainfully.

In the darkness, only the red glow of the cigarette remained, along with the smoke slowly fading into the night...

Is turning a mistake into a blessing or a curse?

...

As the story progresses, even Tiger has to admit that Ren Yibai's encounter with Xiao He was truly his calamity.

Xiao He's performance in "Mistaken Identity" is completely overwhelming compared to Ren Yibai's, not to mention other talented actors.

Xiao He deserves much credit for making "Mistaken Identity" achieve its current viewing experience.

At the beginning, Xiao He played Zhu Feng, a decadent middle-aged man who was full of sorrow even when smoking. With just his appearance, he firmly presented the protagonist's nature to the audience.

After the souls were swapped, Xiao He reappeared as the young assassin Mao Yi. Although he still had the same decadent makeup and attire, he was a completely different person. The difference was so great that people could tell the difference between the two "souls" at a glance.

With just a simple gesture of bending down to light a cigarette and flicking off the ash, the man, now with long hair and a beard and looking even more dejected, gained a touch of wicked elegance. He was a completely different soul from the original body owner, Zhu Feng, instantly outshining Ren Yibai's pretentious smoking gestures in the early stages, elevating the villain's cool factor to an absolute level. It was simply awesome.

At that moment, the audience finally began to appreciate the true personality traits of the assassin Mao Yi.

A thrill-seeking, arrogant, and elite-educated rich kid who has obtained everything through his family background and power, so he is always confident enough to take on everyone one-on-one, and even if he loses, someone will cover for him. This is him, the serial killer who secretly planned multiple murders but was not discovered by the police.

Instead of the good-for-nothing, debauched scoundrel that Ren Yibai portrayed at the beginning.

Whether it's the protagonist Zhu Feng or the villain Mao Yi, the two characters played by Ren Yibai are too one-dimensional, and their character designs cannot support the development of the story. In many cases, it is Xiao He's performance that fills in the character settings of both sides and enriches the psychological details of the characters, which makes the audience less confused and distracted when watching.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Xiao He's existence supports most of the characters' behavioral logic in this movie, preventing the movie from falling apart and instead making it very exciting.

Tiger Brother almost wanted to give this script a thumbs up. This theme of soul swapping is just brilliant. The two actors need to switch roles and not only portray the personality differences after the soul swap, but also seamlessly connect with each other's acting skills. This is the ultimate challenge for the two actors.

He would call it "whoever is worse off is embarrassed"—

Especially in the finale, when the two characters finally appeared on screen at the same time, the difference in their acting skills became even more apparent.

On the stage that day, Xiao He, playing the role of an assassin, spread his arms and calmly accepted his death, letting the cold wind blow across his cheeks, and still showing a victorious smile to the protagonist Zhu Feng. That extremely morbid villainous charm was deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience.

Ren Yibai, who was supposed to portray Zhu Feng, only showed a horrified expression, staring blankly at the person. His eyes showed no longing or struggle after being assimilated, only deep fear and regret.

Seeing this, Tiger Brother knew that Ren Yibai, who played the main character Zhu Feng for most of the movie, did not really understand the soul of the character "Zhu Feng" at all. Therefore, he naturally did not understand the huge changes that this incident [N O V E L I G H T] would bring to Zhu Feng's future life.

Tiger silently lit a candle for Ren Yibai.

Fortunately, Xiao He plays the lead role of Zhu Feng in the beginning of the movie, and he will also play Zhu Feng in the end.

Otherwise, this work could truly be described as a terrible ending...

-

The plot twists in the second half of "Mistaken Identity" are not actually that mind-bending overall.

The gist of the story is that after the souls were swapped, Zhu Feng used the body of the assassin Mao Yi to kill his former boss. Unexpectedly, Mao Yi, who also awakened in Zhu Feng's body, turned the tables and used the murder to his advantage, tricking Zhu Feng in return.

He deliberately left numerous traces of murder using the identity of Zhu Feng, and even appeared at the scene, leading the police to believe he was the murderer. In the end, he successfully used the identity of "Zhu Feng" and was arrested on the spot by the police...

Ironically, this incident actually came together by a twist of fate. Although it was Zhu Feng who switched bodies to commit the murder, the police did not arrest the wrong person; it was indeed "Zhu Feng" who did it.

And so it turned out that Zhu Feng successfully committed murder and escaped, but "Zhu Feng" was caught on the spot by the police, became a suspect in the eyes of the public, and was taken away by the police.

Even after Zhu Feng successfully returned to his body, he was still the suspect, burdened with suspicion and infamy for murdering his boss, while Mao Yi, who actually committed the murder, successfully escaped and left the police's sight.

This is also the true meaning of the original script of "Mistaken Identity" which was titled "A Murder by Role Reversal"!

Zhu Feng decided to make the best of a bad situation and use Mao Yi's body to carry out his murder plan;

Meanwhile, the assassin Mao Yi plans to turn the tables and orchestrate a perfect role-swapping murder. This will allow the police to apprehend the real culprit, Zhu Feng, while he himself seamlessly escapes, reverting to his original body and remaining hidden behind the scenes.

This is absolutely the perfect plan!

Besides, those were originally done by Zhu Feng, weren't they?

So, when Mao Yi stood on the rooftop, threatening Zhu Feng to switch bodies with him...

Zhu Feng then realized that he had been part of the other party's scheme from beginning to end.

His dreamlike life swap was nothing more than a joke meticulously planned by someone with ulterior motives.
