Sure, here is the translated text:
As expected, by the afternoon, the director stepped forward to speak.
[I didn't bring in any financed actors nor bypass any procedures. The casting was unanimously approved by myself, the producer, and a professional judge. I don't want to boast about my taste nor claim that my choice is better than anyone else's, but I know that I wouldn't choose anyone who isn't the best. I don't understand why some people have to invite criticism by comparing an early image of our leading actress with a random 'Empress' look to come up with such conclusions. I suggest you read more and save yourself the embarrassment.]
This fierce rebuke brought relief to the fans siding with Mu Lingyun.
But many of Wei Ruolan's fans and some onlookers weren't convinced.
[After all that talk, show us a photo of Mu Lingyun as the Empress if you dare!]
[So did you take Mu Lingyun's Empress makeup shot yet? Can we see the picture instead of just talk?]
