"person being questioned, please state your name."

"guan hongfeng".

"what did you hide while you were investigating the case at the changfeng criminal branch?"

yes, after seven years, "day and night 2" is finally here. the above paragraph is from the first trailer officially released by the production team of "day and night".

in 2017, "day and night" became a hit on the internet. online dramas are no longer synonymous with shoddy productions. suspense and crime dramas have gradually become an important force in the chinese drama genre.

the ending of the first part also became a memorable moment in the audience's hearts.

who can forget pan yueming, who smiled with half of his face in the shadow at the end of the first season.

that weird smile also tells the audience that the story of "day and night" is not over yet.

i didn’t expect that the wait would last seven years.

these seven years have seen a surge in the forces of suspense drama and a major change in the landscape.

the world of martial arts is no longer what it used to be.

the crew of "day and night 2" is finally going to fill the hole they dug that year.

did the elder brother and younger brother swap? what is the truth behind the murder of the entire family? how can guan hongfeng prove his innocence?

the only answer is this: "white night breaks dawn".

in june this year, it was reported that the drama had obtained a distribution license and would be broadcast during the summer vacation.

now that the summer season is over, the only suspense hit is the costume detective drama tang gui 2. yes, tang gui is about to shoot its third season, but the second season of white night has not yet been released.

as a new king rises, the former king of fashion suspense detective dramas is finally returning.

as the production team released the trailer, the pace of publicity and promotion has significantly accelerated. it is certain that this suspenseful drama is really coming.

maybe, in september.

what is also meaningful is that "white night break" has officially entered the white night theater of ku. as everyone discussed at the beginning, how can a white night theater without the white night chase be called the white night theater?

now, a trailer of just over a minute has already aroused the audience's expectations.

how will the brothers guan hongfeng and guan hongyu, one in the light and one in the dark, work together to solve the mystery that has plagued them for many years as they return to tianjin port?

how does the long night lead to dawn? it's time to solve the three major mysteries from seven years ago.

01. story: the trailer still has the flavor of day and night, and 3 highlights help it become a hit

the "day and night" of that year still has a douban score of 8.9 points. the first part became a big hit and a dark horse, and the reason for that was the script.

the script of "day and night chase" was written by fingerprint, which should be familiar to audiences familiar with domestic criminal suspense dramas.

now, the screenwriter has finally returned.

the producer of the first film, wu bai, also returned to the position of chief producer. the director of the first film, wang wei, shot the highly acclaimed drama "ask the vastness" in recent years, and this time he retreated to the position of producer.

the director of "white night dawn" was replaced by liu yingjian, the photographer of the first film.

does it still taste the same as it did back then?

judging from the first trailer released, there are at least three highlights.

the first highlight continues to be brain-burning.

a wonderful suspense drama is always a showdown of wits and a game between masters from all sides.

the most successful part of the first part of "white night" is how the brothers guan hongfeng and guan hongyu, who kept exchanging identities, helped the police solve the case while dealing with zhou xun's temptations.

judging from the trailer, a new round of game is about to begin. the trailer even shows a segment where guan hongfeng and guan hongyu take a photo together.

but in the interweaving of light and shadow, new flashes of swords and shadows can be seen. it can be predicted that a new intellectual attack and defense will begin again.

the second highlight is continued suspense.

from the trailer, it can be seen that guan hongfeng should have returned to changfeng xingzhi.

in the trailer, characters that are both good and evil keep appearing. old acquaintances, such as han bin, zhao xincheng, and even zhao qian and liu yin have returned, and mysteries follow.

if guan hongfeng has returned to changfeng, it means that his suspicion has been cleared. how was it cleared?

the faces of old acquaintances flashed by. what roles will they play this time?

in particular, han bin’s identity is a question that runs through the entire first season, and perhaps the answer will only be revealed at the end of the second season.

the reed marsh appears several times in the trailer. what message does it want to convey?

gao yanan, played by lv xiaolin, who was very popular in the first season, is the only main character who did not appear in the trailer for the second season. where did she go?

in the new season, it seems that everyone is shrouded in a mist.

like an invisible net, it surrounds the audience outside the screen layer by layer.

the third highlight continues to be dangerous.

it is not difficult to see that guan hongfeng, who returned in the second season, did not become more relaxed.

the trailer shows a shot of guan hongfeng or guan hongyu falling in a reed marsh.

several action scenes in the trailer also pushed the tense atmosphere to its climax.

in terms of plot, there are ambushes and deployments during the arrest.

there are also familiar scenes of guan hongfeng and zhou shutong solving cases in the rain, which make the audience feel as if they have regained the feeling of the first season.

02. actors: pan yueming, wang longzheng, and 5 other old acquaintances are back

as the full article said, in addition to lv xiaolin, whose popularity has continued to grow in recent years, not only the first-part starring actors pan yueming and wang longzheng have returned.

major supporting actors such as liang yuan, hou xuelong, han yezhou, yin shuyi, etc. also returned.

the most anticipated one is, of course, pan yueming.

it was with this drama that pan yueming returned to the peak of his career. in recent years, he has successively filmed "the wrath of the west hunan", "the cave of dragon ridge", "the worm valley of yunnan", "the kunlun temple" and "return to the south china sea", and has another ace series of his own.

but in the suspense genre, although there are works such as "the missing eleventh floor", there is no real hit.

judging from the appearance, pan yueming is almost the same as he was seven years ago. he is even thinner and can seamlessly integrate the characters. it is just unknown whether he can recreate the wonderful drama of the two brothers constantly exchanging identities this time.

second place: wang longzheng

after "white night", this treasure actor starred in suspense and spy war dramas such as "secret and great" and "the escape". he also appeared in the summer blockbuster "the decryption". his popularity has increased significantly and he has become a familiar face in the suspense genre.

in the trailer, the character zhou xun he plays is still as decisive and efficient as he was back then.

zhou xun, played by wang longzheng, is a colleague of guan hongfeng, but he has also been conducting a tentative investigation.

zhou xun kept guan hongfeng by his side as a consultant. in the beginning, in addition to appreciating his talent, he also wanted to use guan hongfeng to dig up information about guan hongyu and arrest him. of course, by the end, the relationship between the two had become as close as partners.

what the audience is most looking forward to is undoubtedly the chemistry between him and pan yueming this time.

in addition to these two core characters, there are also liang yuan's zhou shutong and liu boxi's han bin.

wu wenjing's zhao xincheng, yin shuyi's zhao qian, and yang kaidi's liu yin have all returned.

with the return of these 7 old acquaintances, the acting is naturally reassuring.

03. suspense: the three major mysteries left in the first season should be solved

a key to the success of "white night breaks" is actually to solve the three major suspense left by the first season. if the holes are not filled, the audience will be disappointed.

the first mystery is that of identity.

at the end of the episode, there is a big hook.

in the finale of the tunnel, did the elder brother and younger brother swap identities? what method was used?

although pan yueming's evil smile at the end already gave us some clues.

but this drama lacks a reasonable explanation.

judging from the trailer, the name pan yueming, who is being interrogated in the play, wrote is guan hongfeng.

but this does not mean that the person in the interrogation room is guan hongfeng. he may continue to disguise himself.

the trailer also shows a shot of pan yueming running away. this person might be the real guan hongfeng.

what is the truth? only by following the drama can you find it out.

the second mystery is how to find the real culprit of the family massacre.

this suspense also concerns: how guan hongfeng will find the real murderer in the second season, clear his name, and return to changfeng.

the first season has hinted through a tattoo that the person who appeared at the scene that night was zhou shutong's ex-boyfriend, ye fangzhou, who was expelled from the police force.

but there are also clues suggesting that ye fangzhou is just a pawn.

it is obvious that the organization that framed guan hongfeng is a larger organization.

what is the origin of this organization and why did they kill wu zheng’s family?

by the second half of the first season, what zhou xun really cared about was no longer catching guan hongfeng, but finding the truth of the incident.

i suspect that in the second season, zhou xun will no longer be a stumbling block for the two brothers in their search for the real murderer, but a key helper.

another key helper should be the mysterious han bin.

the third mystery is also the most crucial one: can "day and night 2" still satisfy the appetite of the new generation of suspense drama audiences?

in recent years, the audience's appetite for suspense dramas whetted by "day and night chase" has helped many crime suspense dramas become popular and reaped the benefits.

the sequel, now renamed "white night dawn", is facing a completely changed world of suspense crime web dramas.

seven years have passed, and drastic changes have taken place in the creative environment, the suspense drama market and the audience's tastes.

when "day and night chase" was launched in 2017, it coincided with the first wave of explosive growth in suspense crime web dramas - "the undocumented crime" and "river god" became popular one after another.

but in the three years since then, this genre has fallen into silence.

it was not until the rise of misty theater that the two acclaimed dramas, "the silent truth" and "the bad kids", made suspense dramas officially enter the era of high-quality dramas.

later, tencent's x theater launched "the long season", which directly brought suspense dramas into another realm: telling the times through cases, and the fate of people in the changing times.

seven years have passed, and the suspense drama has moved forward, don’t look back.

but when the audience looks back, "day and night chase" has indeed become a pinnacle of suspense dramas in the era of online dramas.

but in the past seven years, the vigorous and orthodox suspense dramas are no longer the mainstream of the market, and the popular dramas are more inclined to social and realistic styles.

the focus is no longer on the case, but more on the portrayal of human nature and the creation of a suspenseful atmosphere.

so can "white night dawn" return to its peak?

the biggest key is whether we can get back to our former state.

the core charm of "white night" is, first, the fast-paced solution of a series of complex cases, second, the gradual approach to the truth by unraveling the mystery, and third, the two brothers constantly exchange identities and hide the truth in front of everyone.

therefore, the biggest weapon for "white night breaking dawn" to gain high reputation and popularity should be its solid logic and reasonable plot.

judging from the creative team, cast, and the quality of the trailer, the second season is still worth looking forward to.

although the trailer is not long, the audience can still feel the creative team's dedication from the details.

especially that familiar feeling of the white night.

another reason why viewers are looking forward to "day and night 2":

this is because the highly acclaimed suspense dramas on the market are like "the bad kids" and "the long season".

the audience is more eager for and pays more attention to the traditional suspense crime dramas with suspense and detective stories.

after seven years of "chasing the murderer", can the orthodox domestic suspense drama finally come to fruition?

watch "day and night 2".
