People trying to murder each other is usually weird, but this is weirder than most.
These viral marketing campaigns are getting out of hand.
There are not a lot of films where the ‘making of’ is also a whodunnit.

Looks behind himself…
Why’s everybody looking at me?

Yeah. A number of countries have issues with organized crime in entertainment industries. I guess it’s a good way to launder money, although they also control whole aspects of the business in some places. Apparently in Japan, the Yakuza pretty much run all the talent agencies, for example.
Looks like the the three body problem has been reduced to 2
Dead bodies are still a problem.
This is an ideal Liu Cixin plot.
