Meanwhile, the premiere of "City of Mist", starring Lin Qishan, was set, coinciding with the release of "Psychologist".
Upon hearing the news that the two movies would be competing on the same release date, netizens were not surprised at all.
If at first they thought it was a coincidence, now everyone was clear that Lin Qishan had done this deliberately.
Next, "City of Mist" also began its publicity campaign nationwide.
"City of Mist" was promoted as the most explosive sci-fi movie in history, while "Psychologist" took a more subdued approach. Many felt that as a suspense film, "Psychologist" might not perform as well at the box office, but there were still many fans of Tong Gui who said they would support it at the cinema, even if they weren't huge fans of the genre.
At this point, some movie critics commented that even before its formal release, "Psychologist" was already losing ground.
