Chapter 292 New Developments
Tech gurus, sci-fi fans, and meticulous researchers all unleashed their creativity:
—"Case solved, everyone! Look at the crack and light spots in picture 4! That hazy sense of energy overflow! That cold, hard metallic texture of the broken pipe edges! Doesn't it give you the feeling of the interior wall of the Engineer's spaceship in Alien + the shimmering shimmer in Annihilation?! The art style of 'The Craftsman' is definitely a bio-mechanical Cthulhu wasteland style! I love it!"
—"The plant in Figure 2 is the key! [Detailed screenshot.jpg] Look at how the crystal fracture and the metal substrate are fused together! It's a seamless whole, definitely not a simple parasitic growth! I bet five cents that this thing has self-healing and energy conduction properties!"
—"A tech expert stepped in! I did some simple fixes on the lighting and contrast in picture 3. The shadowy area shows the outline of the tracking car! [detail screenshot.jpg] And here's [detail screenshot.jpg] a blurry figure—this person is wearing modern work clothes. So the blue ceiling was just a film crew sunshade? (laughing and crying)"
—“There are actors in costume in picture 3 too! Although you can’t see their faces clearly, their figures are amazing! I’m offering a huge reward for their names! By the way, ‘Tian Gong’ has already started filming, but there haven’t been any leaked photos? That’s not right!”
—"Here comes the hardcore research enthusiast! Figure 1 shows the texture and slope of the sand dunes! Based on the angle of sunlight and the length of the shadow, precise modeling allows us to deduce the latitude and longitude of the filming location! The reflective spot in the lower right corner, when zoomed in, has a hexagonal grid structure. Combined with the windmill features, it pinpoints the Northwest XX uninhabited area! The 'Tiangong' crew really dared to go there! That area is notorious for its geomagnetic anomalies and intermittent sandstorms! It's perfectly normal that there are no behind-the-scenes photos of this filming location. Who would dare to stake out that godforsaken place? Would they risk their lives for money?"
— "Based on the crystal structure in Figure 2, I have boldly reconstructed the complete form of the 'symbiote'! [Hand-drawn illustration.jpg], waiting for the movie to be released and prove me wrong (or make me a legend)."
—"Why analyze so much? I'll watch whatever Bai Zong films! Just for the sincerity in building the real sets (Pictures 1 & 2), the bizarre yet captivating art style (Pictures 2 & 4), and Bai Zong personally supervising the set (Picture 3), I'm definitely going to the premiere of 'The Craftsman'! Entertainment day and night, a beacon of science fiction! Hurry up and release it! (frantically banging on the door)"
……
The tsunami-like level of discussion, along with the ever-increasing popularity of the topic, search index, and mentions on social media platforms, has reached astonishing heights.
On the huge data monitoring screen, the curves representing various indicators soared like rockets.
The operations director stared intently at the data on the screen, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
Just then, Mr. Bai called.
She quickly answered the phone and excitedly reported, "President Bai, the data... the data is amazing! It's 300% higher than our most optimistic estimate!"
These four pictures by President Bai are simply a stroke of genius!
The first phase of press releases and promotional trailers they prepared will definitely have double the effect if released now!
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, the director replied repeatedly, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Bai."
After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and gave the instructions in a loud voice:
"Attention everyone! We can begin the next phase of promotional work. As planned, we will naturally integrate the prepared keywords of the 'Tiangong' world view into the discussion through our partner KOLs in an educational format. We will not deliberately guide the plot."
Inside the office sat a dozen or so people, the operations team of Day and Night Entertainment.
After Bai Li's account posted an update, they haven't been idle.
If the hype isn't strong, they'll use a second backup plan.
But in the current situation, that's clearly not necessary; they just need to monitor the data according to the plan.
A younger employee raised his hand and suggested, "Director, the netizens' interpretations have far exceeded our expectations, especially the analyses about the film's setting. They're incredibly popular, with the most popular single comment getting over ten thousand likes. Should we follow suit and release some clearer concept art?"
The atmosphere at Day and Night Entertainment Company leans more towards freedom and fairness.
At our 24/7 entertainment workplace, there is no hierarchy among employees; the most capable always comes first.
Even young employees who are still young and lack the experience of a director have the opportunity to speak out.
This is actually a very good suggestion.
Releasing concept art can steer the discussion in the right direction and also clarify the science fiction tone of the film.
But the director crossed his arms and pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on his arm a few times before decisively shaking his head: "No! The timing is perfect! The enthusiasm of netizens for spontaneously digging is at its highest. If we were to officially verify it, it would only destroy this sense of mystery and participation."
Mr. Bai has already created an air of mystery through the photos, and the mission of their operations department is to maintain this mystery while gradually turning it into buzz, and ultimately into real box office revenue when the movie is released.
-----------------------------
At this moment, Bai Li is on her private jet back to Shanghai.
The handsome young male NPC from the flight attendant team respectfully refilled Bai Li's glass of water.
"Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Bai Li took the water glass and checked with Xiao Hao again on the progress of gaining total favorability points.
Before posting the update, the total favorability score was 201 points.
After posting the update, the total favorability score reached 245 points, an increase of 44 points.
Although it has increased, the increase is not significant.
I need to increase my influence and let more people know me.
Besides promoting "The Craftsman", what other methods are there?
Bai Li fell into deep thought.
Just then, my phone, which was lying next to me, suddenly vibrated.
Bai Li thought it was another call from the company's operations department, but when she picked up her phone and saw a familiar name on the screen, her eyes widened slightly. It was a name she hadn't expected. Without hesitation, Bai Li answered the call immediately.
