The media's big Vs released consecutive exposés, plunging Mu Ziwei's PR team into a flurry of activity.
"What's going on, how did this all start?"
"It seems someone took photos of Director Xie's crew, and the original post was analyzing how Ziwei was very likely to get the role. Somehow, it got linked to that incident with Tang Shu."
Agent Wang Zheng checked the initial post, his lips pressed tightly together in silence.
The analysis was indeed logical and well-founded; he too had speculated that among the auditionees, Mu Ziwei was the most likely to snag the role.
"Any reaction from Director Xie's side to this news?"
For Wang Zheng, the issue with Tang Shu was a minor one; he was more concerned about Director Xie's attitude towards this report.
If the 'Heroes in Troubled Times' crew's Weibo outright denied Mu Ziwei's audition, it would be a real embarrassment.
"Not yet. The film crew has been very quiet."
