Chapter 58:
The promotional material for Metamorphosis was released quickly, with the first wave consisting of three photos posted on Weibo.
[Metamorphosis Official Blog V: Welcome to our three urban protagonists, @JiangNan, @JiangFeng, and @BaiQingqing.]
Below the post were three photos of the cast members, each meticulously retouched.
In his photo, Jiang Nan wore a white shirt with gold-rimmed buttons and matching glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance. His chestnut curls and soft, affectionate eyes completed the look of a gentle older brother. He sat by a windowsill, holding a book, with sunlight streaming onto his face, making him seem like the friendly big brother next door.
However, Jiang Feng’s photo was much more casual. Due to waking up late that day, his hair was messily tousled, and his bangs were haphazardly curled. He wore a simple white T-shirt with a kawaii cartoon of a little braised egg holding a gun. Unlike Jiang Nan’s polished look, Jiang Feng’s style was everyday and relaxed. His face even looked slightly groggy.
Yet, despite the contrast, Jiang Feng’s handsomeness was undeniable. Even with both photos side by side, people’s eyes were irresistibly drawn to Jiang Feng’s unpolished image. Though his picture hadn’t been carefully retouched, his intense gaze still left a powerful impression.
He appeared like a tree stretching its branches, growing strong and wild. Or like a wolf cub emerging from the shadows, fierce determination gleaming in his eyes. The moment people saw his photo on Weibo, they were captivated.
He was just too handsome.
Fans and netizens quickly exploded with excitement.
[Walnut Box: Oh my god, this photo is killing me! I need to know more about this big brother right now!]
[Lily: Jiang Nan is definitely handsome, but wow… Jiang Feng is amazing! Isn’t he the perfect little wolf cub we’re all obsessed with? He’s incredible! I’m making him my new favorite!!]
[Mengmeng: He should debut with that face alone! Isn’t he even better than the big brothers from 101?]
[Sisi: I know Jiang Nan and Jiang Feng. They go to our school, a middle school in City C. Jiang Nan is the school’s heartthrob and the top student in our grade. Jiang Feng… well, I’ve heard he’s kind of a rebel and not that great academically.]
[Mengmeng: Really?]
[Lily: Haha, Jiang Nan is way too good. No way he’d take part in something like this exchange! What a joke.]
The second wave of promotional content was a trailer.
The trailer was simple but effective.
The first scene featured Jiang Nan introducing himself. He was seated in his study, holding a book and smiling warmly. “My name is Jiang Nan, and I’m one of the protagonists in this season of Metamorphosis. Jiang Feng is my younger brother. Since he’s not very good at taking care of himself, I’m accompanying him to the countryside. As the big brother, I want to look after him. He’s a bit delicate, so I hope you all can be patient with him.”
Jiang Nan’s words were gentle and serious, portraying him as the responsible and caring older brother.
Then, the scene switched abruptly.
“What are you doing in my room? Get out! Did I say you could come in? This is my space!” Jiang Feng shouted angrily from his bedroom, his face dark with fury as he lay on the bed.
“I was just trying to wake you up, Xiao Feng,” Jiang Nan responded, looking hurt and confused.
The third scene showed Jiang Feng sitting in a car, engrossed in a mobile game. He was playing passionately, the sound of a victory announcer blaring in the background.
The text on the screen read: “15 consecutive victories and 10 stars—Jiang Feng is aiming to become a professional player!”
Immediately after, the trailer cut to Jiang Nan’s disapproving voice: “Brother, do you really need to bring your phone here? It’s not right. You shouldn’t disappoint our father. You’re already struggling with your exams, and games aren’t a real future!”
This short trailer, less than half a minute long, instantly raised expectations for the show’s entertainment value.
The audience quickly sensed the tension brewing between Jiang Nan and Jiang Feng.
What was going on between these two brothers?
It was clear that their relationship was more complicated than it seemed. The tension between them was intense, and fans couldn’t wait to see how it would unfold on screen.
