Chen Feng's short drama had a very simple name.
It was called “I Am a Police Officer.”
The plot design had some brain-burning twists.
It required judging who the real police officer was based on the performance details of two people.
Because the Three-Strong Championship had each contestant's character design with a certain contrast, Chen Feng was designed with a police officer role.
But this police officer was not an ordinary police officer.
He was an undercover agent.
The moment he received the character information, Chen Feng's character prompt sound also rang out.
“Ding! Detected that the host is about to portray the target character 'undercover police officer'. Congratulations to the host for becoming a true undercover police officer.”
“Congratulations to the host for acquiring the 'Fire Eyes' skill.”
“Note: Given the special nature of an undercover police officer's identity, the host is arranged to be a dismissed police undercover agent, with his file canceled by the police, and his superior having died in the line of duty.”
Chen Feng: “...”
Alright!
This made sense.
Otherwise, Chen Feng was still wondering if the gang boss identity the system gave him would conflict with the police officer identity.
As expected, the system was very good at arranging things.
As for Hua Zai, who was acting opposite him, he played a subordinate of a gang boss this time.
This subordinate was secretly colluding with a police insider.
Their actions were ambiguous.
So, on the surface, both of them looked like people from the underworld, but through two or three segments, the truth, full of genuine and fake elements, was finally revealed.
...
Scene one.
On stage, the two appeared.
Chen Feng sat on the sofa, his identity being a gang boss, losing his temper at Hua Zai.
This opening alone surprised people.
On the online platform.
“Holy cow, Chen Feng is playing a gang boss? Hua Zai is playing a subordinate? And getting yelled at? As expected, he doesn't take the usual path; this opening immediately hooked me.”
“I thought Hua Zai should be playing the gang boss.”
“It's time to test Chen Feng. If he can establish the image of a boss in front of Hua Zai, that would be truly amazing.”
“Among these two, one is definitely an undercover agent. Guess who it is?”
“No need to guess, Chen Feng is the contestant, so he must be the undercover police officer character.”
“Yes, yes, it must be him.”
“I also choose Chen Feng.”
“Chen Feng is an undercover police officer? An undercover police officer went undercover to become a gang boss? This is too crazy, right? I believe the production team must be playing tricks. In fact, Hua Zai is the undercover agent, hahahaha.”
“The analysis god upstairs has a point.”
Netizens had already started discussing.
Most people believed that, logically speaking, the main contestant should be given a positive role, so Chen Feng should be the police officer.
However, he was currently playing the role of a gang boss.
Could an undercover agent go so deep as to become a gang boss?
How many years would that take?
While netizens were speculating, the plot on stage progressed rapidly.
Chen Feng immersed himself in the role of the gang boss, portraying the ruthless and sinister image of a big shot to perfection.
And Hua Zai's subordinate, on the surface, appeared submissive while being scolded, but the camera gave several close-ups of his lowered head, and his face was also full of malice.
Just this one segment confused the netizens.
Neither of them looked like a police officer; both looked like they were from the underworld.
...
Scene two.
The two separated.
Hua Zai secretly sent out a message.
And Chen Feng secretly met someone.
Thus, the identities of the two became a mystery again, shrouded in mist.
When the two reunited, Chen Feng began to arrange the details of the operation; they were going to double-cross and seize a batch of smuggled goods.
In this part of the plot, Chen Feng had a lot of lines.
Far exceeding the short dramas performed by Li Han and Xu Yao, it made people surprised that his delivery of lines sounded nothing like lines.
It sounded more like casual conversation.
But the most shocking thing was Hua Zai.
Only Hua Zai knew that there were no such lines in the script.
The script required the two to improvise this section, meaning to come up with lines on the spot.
Hua Zai watched Chen Feng point at the city's topographical map, meticulously arranging the operation, and it felt as if he was truly going to double-cross that night.
Amazing!
He could just blurt out these lines?
Without even thinking?
Hua Zai was once again stunned.
...
The second scene ended.
The online sentiment slowly changed.
“I retract my previous deduction; in this drama, Chen Feng is definitely a gang boss. Hua Zai is the real undercover agent.”
“I can tell, Chen Feng's lines were too damn professional.”
“I heard the scripts were all made on the fly, and many lines needed to be improvised on the spot. He said such a large amount; was it all improvised?”
“It doesn't seem like it!”
“I suggest the country investigate him. His speech was too professional; I deeply suspect he has done this kind of thing before.”
“He really doesn't look like a police officer.”
...
Scene three.
Night operation.
Hua Zai, playing the subordinate, secretly met a person in a police uniform before the operation.
Everyone suddenly understood.
Indeed, Hua Zai was the undercover agent.
However, before the operation, Chen Feng also sent a secret text message.
Who did he send it to?
The plot was puzzling.
On the stage, the lights flickered, and the scene changed to an outdoor transaction location.
The transaction was underway.
Suddenly, police sirens wailed, and a large group of extras dressed as Special Police Team members rushed up, surrounding Chen Feng and the other party involved in the transaction.
Hua Zai appeared.
He stood with the police commander.
At this point, the audience unanimously concluded that Hua Zai was indeed the undercover agent, and Chen Feng was the real gang boss.
Logically speaking, the short drama should have ended here.
The audience had also witnessed Chen Feng's perfectly realistic acting, and the police-gangster confrontation drama performed in cooperation with Hua Zai.
Hua Zai's portrayal of the undercover agent was quite convincing.
After all, his 'Infernal Affairs' series was already the pinnacle of this genre.
He was very familiar with playing this type of role.
But...
The stage performance had not ended.
The police and the double-crossing parties were still in a standoff.
Chen Feng still had a role to play?
Everyone was surprised.
What else was going to happen?
Just as Hua Zai and the police commander felt something was amiss, both sides of the double-crossing on stage revealed their identities; those involved in the underworld transaction were actually Special Police Team members in disguise.
At this moment, Hua Zai panicked.
The commander also panicked.
And Chen Feng finally revealed his identity, laying bare his undercover card.
At this moment, the entire audience burst into an uproar.
Damn!
So Chen Feng was still the undercover agent?
And Hua Zai was the character to be arrested instead?
On stage, as Chen Feng solemnly revealed the mystery, all the audience members finally realized what this play was all about.
It turned out that the undercover police officer played by Chen Feng was trying to uncover the police commander who Hua Zai was meeting; he was the internal mole within the police department.
To catch him, Chen Feng, the undercover agent, had been lurking all along.
This time, through Hua Zai, the treacherous subordinate who harbored malicious intent to rise to power and wanted to murder his boss, the cancerous element within the police was finally apprehended.
As the mystery was revealed, the live broadcast venue erupted in thunderous cheers.
On the live broadcast platform.
“Holy cow, holy freaking cow. Such a short drama gave me two twists? Does it have to be so brain-burning?”
“Wonderful, it was really enjoyable to watch.”
“Honestly, Chen Feng is too charismatic. He played the gang boss to perfection, but when his identity switched to a police officer, he actually had a righteous look. How does he manage his expressions?”
“That's true, why do I feel like I'm watching two different people?”
“Too amazing, I'm a fan.”
“This performance was truly spot on. I was really immersed just now, and now I even wish they could extend this plot a bit more! I want to see the sequel.”
“Want to see the sequel.”
“Same here, want to see the sequel.”
...
Live broadcast venue.
The audience's applause was thunderous and long-lasting.
This short drama truly pushed the atmosphere to its climax.
The production team was ecstatic.
It was worth bearing the immense pressure to make Chen Feng's group the finale.
One must know, this kind of arrangement could easily offend Uncle Heitu.
But now, it seemed this arrangement was undoubtedly a success.
