Xiao Wang held his breath, seeming to forget that he was actually watching a promotional video.

Of course, he came to his senses the next second.

This is just an advertisement!

Who is the murderer?

[Who is the deceased?]

[Are they innocent?]

Three lines of large characters suddenly appeared on the screen.

All the actors then appeared on the same poster, except their eyes and mouths were covered with black cloth, giving the impression that they were all criminals.

[For the full film, please tune in to the 2nd First Film Festival!]

At this moment, Yang Ping was looking at various comments on Weibo and always felt that he was being wronged.

[Director, you're leaving us on suspense too quickly!]

[I was enjoying it, and this is the end?]

[Oh my god, it's so cruel to end it in a place like this! I want to say, he is worthy of being Mr. Zhou's friend, he is good at suspense!]

Yang Ping felt so wronged. He was responsible for filming and Zhou Yiyang was in charge of editing.

He didn't expect that Zhou Yiyang would be stuck here doing publicity.

But on second thought, ending the film at this point can indeed arouse the audience's interest and make them eager to see the subsequent plot.

Otherwise, the hot search on Weibo would not be #Fast forward to the opening of the First Film Festival#.

"Brother Yang, the publicity effect this time is also very good!" Guan Fei looked at the various data on the Internet and felt very happy.

"Really? Then is everyone's focus on the plot or our first film festival?" Zhou Yiyang said lightly, his attention still on his mailbox.

"They have both, Brother Yang," Guan Fei quickly pulled up a data point and compared them carefully. "Overall, the plot is still the main thing. Everyone seems to like the final poster! Oh, and this short film was also released overseas. The response from Japan and Korea was particularly strong. They just thought it was a movie trailer and are asking when it will be released."

"Really? Did the publicity team explain it clearly?" Zhou Yiyang was quite surprised. The Godfather's overseas performance had indeed broken records, but that was based on the premise that previous records were too easy to break.

I don’t know when China will be able to produce a movie that can gross over 100 million US dollars overseas, just like Japanese movies.

"Well, our overseas operations team sent out a special tweet, focusing on promoting the FIRST Film Festival," Guan Fei said immediately.

"That's right," Zhou Yiyang shook his shoulders. "The focus lately has been on the film festival. It would be best if public opinion could shift everyone's attention from the plot to the film festival."

Su Yin, one of the protagonists of the short film, was also very happy. She had never expected that this trailer, which was only a few minutes long, would make her a hot topic.

"Little Su!"

Tang Yue shook Su Yin's shoulders frantically, her expression looking quite hungry.

"Baby, tell me what's going on! Tell me, are you the murderer?"

Lin Xuan'er, who had just walked out of the bathroom, was so scared that she dropped her bath towel on the ground. Sure enough, she heard Wang Xingrui's loud laughter.

"Xuan'er, it's still broad daylight, and you're already driving!"

"Oh!" Lin Xuan'er blushed, quickly picked up the towel, and quickly walked over to sit next to Su Yin and Tang Yue. "Tangtang's question is so ambiguous. I thought little Su was doing something bad in secret!"

"She's asking about the plot!" To be honest, Wang Xingrui was currently searching for similar suspense novels as a substitute for watching the film's trailer. "But I also really want to know who the murderer is."

"Are you all focused on the murderer?" Lin Xuan'er wiped her hair and turned to look at Su Yin. "I'm actually concerned about one thing. Qi Yuhong found Zijun and asked about Xiaokui. Who is this Xiaokui? Is she the deceased?"

Su Yin was shocked, but her expression remained calm.

She admired Lin Xuan'er very much for catching this fleeting line, which was the key message in the promotional video.

However, most people were distracted by the horrifying atmosphere and explicit lines and completely ignored this sentence.

"I really can't tell you," Su Yin continued, "You guys go ask Brother Yang, he might tell you if he softens his heart."

"We shouldn't go looking for Brother Yang recently," Tang Yue said cautiously, as if she knew some inside information.

"Why?" Lin Xuan'er asked curiously, "Could it be that Brother Yang encountered something?"

"That's not the case. Think about it, Brother Yang has several projects already stacked up. He was originally going to shoot a horror TV series and a science fiction film, and now he's got a new movie lined up. He must be very busy. If we ask him about this kind of nonsense at this time, he will definitely be unhappy."

Wang Xingrui agreed: "Indeed, Brother Yang must be very busy, he still has to prepare for the First Film Festival!"

The four of them nodded, and finally decided to stay in the room and watch the variety show.

It happens to be a talent show.

"Xuan'er, look at this!" Su Yin immediately reminded her, "Look at how others act as mentors."

"Yes," Tang Yue nodded. "You are the first one in our group to go out as a mentor. You represent our image."

"Being a mentor is actually a science," Wang Xingrui said seriously. "Some people receive rave reviews after becoming mentors, and their careers flourish. Of course, our Xuan'er still has her first spring ahead of her! Others become disliked and their popularity declines. So, being a mentor isn't easy."

"I know." Lin Xuan'er pouted. Why did being a mentor feel like being a superhero, shouldering so many responsibilities? "I won't let any outstanding contestant slip through the cracks!"

"Not bad, not bad," Su Yin nodded. "That's the kind of aura we mentors should have! Oh, Tangtang, hurry up and teach Xuan'er some good conversation skills!"

"I think so," Tang Yue looked at the pretentious male instructor, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "We can ask Brother Chen for help. He was our instructor at the time and received all the praise!"

So Lin Xuan'er was encouraged by everyone and had to call Luo Chen.

…

Ding, it's the sound of new email.

Zhou Yiyang opened his email and found that it was Zhang Yiling who replied to him.

"You said, I am the heroine of this story?"

Zhou Yiyang thought about it and directly made a long-distance call to the other party.

"You know it's you, right?" Zhou Yiyang kicked the question back.

"Did he really write it? I, I don't quite believe it." Zhang Yiling held the phone with mixed feelings.

There was excitement and a hint of anger.

What excited her was that her grandfather actually remembered her.

What makes me angry is that the other party has to express his or her concern in such an obscure way.

"I'm not lying to you." Zhou Yiyang confidently asked the last question: "So, are you willing to join the crew of 'Léon: The Professional'?"
