"The Detective Novel" Plot Highlights
Feng Yuanzheng plays the detective chief, the hardest role of his life - both day and night, half-man and half-ghost.
"Feng Yuanzheng, a master of acting, is known for his bizarre and unconventional roles. His portrayal of a violent husband in "Don't Talk to Strangers" was so vivid that it left a deep impression on the audience; his effeminate bandit in "A World Without Thieves" and his homosexual character in "If You Are the One" also gave the audience an unusual psychological experience. In "The Detective Novel", Feng Yuanzheng's character, Detective Chief Liu Zhiwen from old Shanghai, is another extremely challenging role. Is he suffering from hysteria? Mental illness? Psychological disorders? These make this detective, who is "a good person during the day, but not necessarily at night," even more eerie and mysterious compared to his previous roles!
