It wasn't long before the director called both Mu Lingyun and Zhang Xinwan over, obviously because of the incident on Weibo.
"What in the world happened?" the director asked, frowning, having not anticipated such trouble.
The director felt a headache coming on, everything had been fine, and now this unexpected issue had caught everyone off guard.
Considering the current public opinion, if it wasn't addressed, all the hard work of the entire crew would go to waste.
They had been shooting for several days, and replacing Mu Lingyun would mean starting everything over.
Additionally, over these past few days of filming, he felt that Mu Lingyun was exactly the Empress he had been looking for, and he was extremely reluctant to replace her.
Had he known, he wouldn't have let Zhang Xinwan come to advise Mu Lingyun. At worst, for the piano-playing scenes, they could have just shot Mu Lingyun in long shots and used a hand double for the close-ups.
