The "Worlds Apart, Yet So Close" crew also wrapped up filming around the same time.
Previously, when these two dramas released their promotional stills upon starting production, they caused quite a stir, seemingly establishing a relationship as incompatible as fire and water between them.
Now that both had finished filming simultaneously, it was inevitable that marketing accounts would take them out for discussion, finally throwing out the phrase "wait and see," encouraging everyone to directly examine both dramas with a comparative perspective.
One had to admit the power of this PR move.
In order to compare the merits of the two dramas, audiences watching one would definitely also watch the other. This way, as long as the heat and traffic for one side were substantial, the other drama would also be carried along.
After careful consideration with the team, Yin Chengjue set the broadcast time for "Blood Mist" for the early summer period.
This was a very clever stage.
Students had just finished their exams and were precisely in need of relaxation and leisure. During this period, the must-watch hit dramas for the summer vacation hadn't started broadcasting yet.
However, this period was also when many newly completed dramas were scheduled for broadcast, making the competition extremely fierce. Without effective promotion, it was entirely possible for a drama to sink without a trace, overwhelmed by newer shows with more buzz.
Thus, the previously filmed behind-the-scenes clips and funny Q&A snippets came in handy.
Before releasing the small behind-the-scenes clips, the official blog first released the promotional trailer for "Blood Mist."
Qin Linlin had invested most of the money in the post-production, so the post-production for "Blood Mist" was absolutely solid, without any cut corners.
Whether it was the waiting celebrity fans and book fans, or the passersby who came in to take a look, all who clicked open the "Blood Mist" trailer were stunned by the visuals in the video, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
The trailer opened on a pitch-black screen, with only the sound of dripping water heard, letting people know the video was playing and not frozen.
Then, two drops of blood fell into the darkness. The black instantly spread like ink, and two words appeared on the screen – "Blood Mist."
The sound of a silver bell suddenly rang out, exceptionally clear in the silence.
At the same time, the screen flashed, and a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the video.
"I see, everything you said."
A clear, bright voice sounded. The eyes blinked, and the camera gradually pulled back, revealing the owner of the eyes in full – a young man wearing a white shirt with tight black jeans.
He held a pen and paper in his hands, gradually sketching a person's face.
Simultaneously, a line of text appeared beside him – Wu Xiaoqing, played by Rong Yu.
Sitting across from him was a baby-faced man wearing a T-shirt printed with a cartoon pattern.
Beside the baby-faced man also appeared his character identity and the actor's name.
The scene changed. A man who looked very scholarly and weak roared angrily: "Why! Why are you so sure it's me? Where exactly did I slip up? Tell me!"
"No, I admit, you are the suspect with the cleanest methods and the least evidence I have encountered so far, but..." Wu Xiaoqing, wearing a black denim jacket, leaned back against the glass of a floor-to-ceiling window. His eyes, under the moonlight, gleamed with a sharp, cold light. "The cleaner it is, the more suspicious."
Thunder rumbled loudly, shifting the scene to another place. Wu Xiaoqing stumbled as he ran in the rain, but before he could run more than a few steps, he tripped and fell to the ground – Wu Xiaoqing truly had no athletic ability whatsoever.
"He he he..." A high, unnerving laugh echoed from behind. A man shrouded in a black cloak dragged a blood-stained knife, its blade still dripping, as he slowly advanced towards Wu Xiaoqing, who lay helpless on the ground.
"Detective~ why aren't you running? Run faster~ I'm still looking forward to the hunting game~ Hee hee hee~ Hee hee hee~" The person, whose face was mostly hidden by the cloak's hood, only revealed an exaggeratedly smiling mouth and a pointed chin.
He seemed to be enjoying this hunting process, enjoying forcing his prey into a corner, leaving them with no choice but to surrender in pain and despair.
Wu Xiaoqing silently hung his head. The rain beat down on him, but he seemed oblivious.
The killer drew steadily closer, his unnerving laughter ringing in Wu Xiaoqing's ears.
The camera zoomed in at this moment, focusing on Wu Xiaoqing's face.
Suddenly!
He lifted his head, his entire face aimed directly at the screen!
The pained expression from a moment ago, after exhausting himself from running and falling, abruptly changed. The corners of his red mouth slowly curled up into a smile, and a glint of what could only be described as interest flashed within his captivating peach-blossom eyes.
He licked his lips and, with his back to the knife-wielding murderer, whispered as if talking to himself: "Brother~ for matters that require action, it's better to leave it to me. Should we remove the arms first or the legs first? Anyway, don't kill him, keep him for your interrogation, right?"
No one answered him, but after pausing for a few seconds, he whispered again to himself: "Alright, alright, I know, Brother~ I won't mess around~"
After saying this, he cracked his wrists and neck, stood up, and directly faced the murderer who was now only half a meter away from him.
"Good evening. First time meeting, pleased to make your acquaintance."
A line of text promptly appeared on the screen – Wu Xiaoye, played by Rong Yu.
