China Film Network - The urban suspense film "Bottomless Pit" directed by the new director Jiang Tao has recently released two versions of concept posters, version A and B. Although they seem to be not much different at a glance, they are actually full of meaning. In the poster, the male lead Sa Yi is deeply trapped in the desert, with only his head and hands outside, showing helplessness in passivity and selling moe while being thrilling.

Concept Poster B
It is reported that in addition to Sa Yi as the male lead, the film also features other strong actors such as Qu Ying, Ye Qing, Wu Wei Dong, Wang Wei Nan, etc. It contains both suspenseful main lines and step-by-step winning comedy elements. Money, beauty, power, position, desire, revenge... Countless sins weave a bottomless pit that ultimately makes the protagonists struggle bitterly and unable to extricate themselves.
Sa Yi, who first took on the leading role in a big screen movie, still doesn't change his comedic style in the poster. His expressions are both呆and萌, playing two roles: Brother Nose and Brother Bewildered. The setting of the poster is a desolate desert in the urban concrete jungle, which echoes the real estate industry involved in the story background of the film. The infinite desire symbolized by the desert itself carries the male lead deeper and deeper, and a scorpion approaching step by step represents the dangerous situation full of hidden dangers. The whole poster is filled with cryptic messages, making people want to take a closer look. According to the designers, apart from finding differences, there is another interpretation of these two posters. Version A is being stuck in the desert for 10 minutes, and version B is being stuck in the desert for 10 hours, indicating the different levels of the protagonist's deep entanglement in the bottomless pit.
With neither production budget nor director's fame belonging to a big production, "Bottomless Pit" uses the slogan of being funny and approachable, with suspense and reasoning, hoping to stand out among many commercial blockbusters with investments of hundreds of millions through quality and storytelling. It is reported that there are 5 differences between the A and B versions of the poster. Director Jiang Tao, who personally participated in the design of the poster, said that it is not easy to find all the differences, after all, we spent a long time and put a lot of effort into it.
