Director Zhang sighed over the phone and said, "Chen Xu's scandal has caused quite a big problem for us. Many fans are demanding she be taken out of the film and replaced with someone else.
But it's a bit of a problem because Starwave Entertainment invested quite a huge sum in the film. If they pull out, the investment will go with them, which will pose a significant challenge for us." He sounded like he was at his wit's end.
Chen Mumu was silent for a moment. Chen Xu's scandal was indeed a serious issue. Since the film was adapted from a popular book, there were diehard fans who expected only the best. If one of the actresses was involved in a scandal, they wouldn't receive the film well.
It also didn't help that Chen Xu's scandal involved such a sensitive topic concerning children. Even if she cleared her name, the fans wouldn't easily forgive her. They wanted only one thing: that Chen Xu be taken out of the film.
