My Healing Games

Chapter 79 Playing Two Roles
Upon hearing Sister Long's words, Han Fei remained calm at first, but then a certain emotion slowly welled up from the depths of his mind.

From graduating from film school to starting behind-the-scenes work, to having my own show, and then losing everything.

All his memories surfaced in an instant, and Han Fei slowly raised his finger and pointed at himself.

"Me? The protagonist?"

"That's right, we've considered all aspects, and you're the most suitable lead for this drama!" Director Jiang nodded confidently, then patted Han Fei's shoulder forcefully: "When you become famous, remember to treat me to a meal!"

Han Fei's long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled at this moment. He never expected that all his previous efforts would have resulted in nothing.

He now studies criminal psychology every day, preparing to become a police auxiliary officer or something, but in the end, he was chosen to become the protagonist.

“This is a script we tailored just for you. Take a look.” Sister Long handed the script to Han Fei: “You don’t need to play anyone else. You are the protagonist in this drama. You play yourself.”

Han Fei was not overwhelmed by his immense joy. He carefully read through the script, and the others in the small house patiently waited for him.

About ten minutes later, Han Fei put down the script and said, "This script is too unrealistic. I'm not as capable as the characters in it. In fact, the fact that the human body puzzle was able to catch the real culprit ten years later was mainly due to the Shanghai police and Meng Changxi."

"Meng Changxi?" Sister Long and Director Jiang's understanding of Meng Changxi was limited to that live broadcast.

“He is the second brother of the real culprit. The key evidence I gave to the police was provided by him.” Han Fei also sat down in the room and gave everyone a brief recap of the entire case.

“In this case, I mainly played the role of someone who provided clues. If I had to pick the main characters in the whole case, I think the Meng brothers, Meng Changxi and Meng Chang'an, would be more suitable. One of them is the darkness hidden in the depths of the light, and the other is the light hiding in the darkness.”

Most new actors wouldn't dare to give opinions to directors and producers as directly as Han Fei, but Han Fei is special because he personally participated in solving the case.

"I suggest making Meng Changxi the male lead and Meng Chang'an the male antagonist. That would be the most realistic portrayal," Han Fei said, staring at the script on the table.

“We also wanted to adapt it based on reality, but the problem is, can you play Meng Changxi well? This character’s personality is too complex, and he himself must have suffered some psychological trauma.” Sister Long is an expert, and she knows that such a character is very difficult to handle.

"If there's anyone in this world who can truly understand Meng Changxi, it's me. I've seen his true self, and I've heard his mother recount his childhood." Han Fei was certain he could portray Meng Changxi well.

“Even if you can perfectly portray Meng Changxi, who will act opposite you? Who will play Meng Chang’an? For two characters who are at odds, their acting skills must be on point at the same time, otherwise one person’s superb acting skills will completely ruin the other person’s performance.” Sister Long shook her head: “I don’t think anyone in this crew can portray the kind of perversion that is hidden deep inside Meng Chang’an.”

"Perhaps I could also play Meng Chang'an."

"You're going to play two roles?"

"I want to give it a try, after all, I'm one of the people who knows them best."

Han Fei carefully recalled everything about Meng Chang'an, from the books Meng Chang'an often read to the repressed and twisted boy in the story of Meng's poetry.

His facial expressions kept changing as different figures flashed through his mind.

First, there was the bloodthirsty, crazed killer on the sixth floor; then there was Xu Qin's utterly morbid state and uncontrollable urge to cut; next, there were the two scarred lunatics on the sixth floor; and finally, there was that effeminate killer who was like a venomous snake.

In a very short period of time, Han Fei displayed four different personalities of a psychopathic killer, leaving everyone in the room completely stunned.

And this was just the beginning. Han Fei knew that Meng Chang'an appeared to be a very rational and calm high-caliber individual. He excelled academically, possessed strong abilities, and had even become a senior executive at a large company like Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals.

No one would associate him with perverts, yet this is the same person who, as a child, would abuse animals when angry, and committed heinous crimes with blood on his hands in pursuit of so-called butterflies.

His madness and perversion were initially outwardly apparent, but as he matured, he learned to hide them, and he began to keep everything buried deep inside.

Anger, rage, lust, repression—all these emotions hatched a demon within him.

The terrifying and perverted expressions on Han Fei's face slowly faded, but the demon in his heart was laughing maniacally.

The more normal he appears on the surface, the more insane he is inside.

When the last trace of ferocity disappeared from his face, the demon in his heart finally took over everything.

Han Fei opened his eyes and looked at everyone in the room. He gave everyone a special sense of oppression. They felt as if they were facing not a person, but a pitch-black sea.

She took a deep breath; in all her years in the industry, this was the first time she had ever seen such a terrifying actor.

Han Fei's acting was so good, far exceeding her expectations.

"sharp."

Sister Long threw the script on the table into the trash can and walked up to Han Fei: "I rarely see such good acting skills among actors in their twenties. It was definitely the right decision to give this role to you."

Once he got into character, it took Han Fei some time to detach himself: "This is my first time playing a lead role, and I will do my best in this drama. However, I hope you can respect the facts and respect those who have been hurt by this case."

“No problem, we will try our best to stay realistic.” Sister Long turned to Jiang Yi and said, “Go and call the screenwriter over. Let Han Fei participate in the scriptwriting. You should start filming as soon as possible and make up for the time lost in the middle.”

"Ok."

Director Jiang took out his phone and started contacting the screenwriter. Sister Long then called the female lead over: "Han Fei, this is a newcomer in our company. This drama was initially created to promote her, so we hope you can help her with her acting skills."

Looking at the actress's slender arms, Han Fei slowly stood up: "Is her role in this drama a policewoman?"

"Yes, the original plan was for her to assist you in solving the case; you two would be partners."

“Acting skills are indeed important, but compared to acting skills…” Han Fei’s mind conjured up the image of Li Xue. He walked over to the actress and asked, “Can you fight?”
