Replacing actors at the last minute was not a common thing, but it was not unprecedented.
It was just that this kind of thing where roles were snatched away usually happened before filming had even started. Even though they were halfway through filming, the director said that he wanted to replace the person playing that role.
There were a few similar incidents in the industry, but most of those celebrities were not famous. People like Jin Jiayu were already considered big shots.
And the person who snatched her role was equivalent to a nobody in the entertainment industry.
She was just a little famous in the talent show industry.
Now, not only did they have to deal with Jin Jiayu's fans, but they also had to deal with the subsequent compensation issues. The production crew had already suffered a series of useless losses because of Jin Jiayu's scenes.
