After seven years of absence, the hard-core criminal investigation drama Bai Yueguang returns with "Breaking of the Night". Youku reunites Pan Yueming, Wang Longzheng and other original cast members of "White Night" to create an original sequel. "White Night Breaking" continues the character setting and plot of "White Night" and continues to advance. It tells the story of twin brothers Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu who pursue the truth and finally light defeats darkness.

Pan Yueming and Wang Longzheng will collaborate again after seven years.

The most sincere sequel in recent years

Seven years ago, "White Night" came out and became the ceiling of online dramas. The play's online views exceeded 100 million within 16 hours of its launch, and it ended with over 4 billion views. The Douban rating once reached 9.1, setting a new rating record for online dramas. " White Night Chasing the Murderer " tells the story of twin brothers who were implicated in the massacre of their family, confronting the criminal organization hiding in the dark, and investigating the truth of the crime. His younger brother Guan Hongyu is a fugitive wanted in the family massacre; his elder brother Guan Hongfeng is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. He later resigned to avoid suspicion and became a non-staff consultant of the police force. The elder brother knew that his younger brother was not the real murderer, and that he suffered from "dark phobia" and could not move at night. Therefore, the elder brother asked his younger brother to disguise himself as himself, and the two of them alternated activities during the day and night, and began a two-pronged investigation. In the ending of "White Night", "Guan Hongfeng" was arrested. This story was continued at the beginning of "White Night", starting two hours after "Guan Hongfeng" was arrested.

Although only 125 minutes have passed from the ending of the first season to the beginning of the second season, seven years have passed in the real world. From the perspective of director Liu Yingjian, the creators are like a group of college classmates: they don’t need to contact each other, and they don’t need to be polite when meeting. But when something happens, just call them, and everyone will help without hesitation and never tire of it. The filming of the second season was more intensive than the first season, but during several reading sessions, the team was willing to sacrifice their rest time and get together to chat. Liu Yingjian described the "White Night" series as being like an old song to him. "We listened to a song when we were in college, and then we didn't listen to it for ten years. Suddenly one day when we hear it, you will quickly go back to that era. When I see this play, I may think of the song that accompanied me at that time. People who watched the show together. "

Pan Yueming plays two roles.

Details carefully bear witness to the inherited craftsmanship.

After seven years, it is not only the characters and storyline that are perfectly connected. In addition to the return of the original cast, Fu Huadao and others also strive to remain consistent with the previous work. The attention to detail further testifies to the craftsmanship that this classic work continues to pass on. The office scene of the Changfeng detachment in "White Night Chase" was shot in a public security bureau building in Dongguan. The building was demolished before filming began on Season 2. In order to restore the original set of the Changfeng detachment, the crew took screenshots of relevant scenes in the first season, deduced the length and width of the corridor based on the size of the floor tiles, and then input the parameters into the three-dimensional modeling to restore it one to one. When the actors entered the scene, almost everyone couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" and ran to the monitor to chat about their past memories.

In order to regain the unique "that taste" in the hearts of the audience, "Daybreak" also recovered the actors' costumes from seven years ago, and restored every scene from seven years ago through pull-ups. Structurally, it still creates multiple suspense through the intertwined layered structure of the main plot of the two brothers hiding their identities and unit drama-style cases; at the same time, the continuous fast pace and narrative control quickly draw the audience into a brain-burning drama. In the case, the elements of light comedy and relaxed rhythm form a rich look and feel.

Seven years have settled into an advanced era

At the beginning of "Breaking of the White Night", the younger brother Guan Hongyu discovered his elder brother's conspiracy to frame him, so he was ready to break with him. But he teamed up with his brother again in a new case.As a result, Guan Hongyu's self-awareness and Guan Hongfeng's transformation have become one of the main highlights of this new work; at the same time, some large-scale dramas that stimulate the senses but have nothing to do with the main plot are not considered for this season. Some social hot spots, such as child trafficking, real estate, animal protection and other long-standing social issues, have been included in the plot of the second season.

"White Night Breaking Dawn", as the leading work of Youku's "White Night Theater", carries a greater vision: the pursuit of meaning, not just excitement. "Everyone's inner opinions often exceed sensory stimulation and material itself." Zhang Long, chief producer of "White Night Breaking Dawn" said, "We hope to bring aftertaste to everyone, shine a light on the reality of human nature, and shine a light on the gears of destiny. How to project it on each character." Therefore, the interweaving of the two eras before and after the seven years has made the seven years of the "White Night" series a kind of advanced era, which reflects the social changes of the past ten years.
