All roles are signed under contract with the agreement of both director and actor, so please don't jump to conclusions.
The statement was very official.
At the bottom, a top anonymous comment read:
[Translation: Even the role of the second male lead was agreed upon by someone. No one forced him to sign the contract. If you don't know, stop spewing nonsense.]
Everyone: "..."
Such a valid point, impossible to refute.
[Maybe Emperor Du took a liking to that role, did you ever think of that?]
[Right, keep barking and you'll offend the investor daddies. Be careful or you won't even have the role of the second male lead!]
[If you don't like it, don't sign the contract. They're paying you after all, some fans are just too overbearing.]
After all the commotion, Du Zihang's fans quieted down. Though one or two still grumbled in his defense, it wasn't a big problem.
