Although he knew these were just polite words, seeing that Yu Ningning's attitude was good, that she didn't blame the crew, and that she would even take the initiative to help him out of a tight spot, Director Jin's expression improved considerably, and he even showed a rare smile.
"That's not how it works. In the end, we all want to create a good work."
"Alright, let's not waste any more time on nonsense." Director Jin picked up his phone, opened the Weibo page, and said with a smile, "Our clarification has been released, so please take out your phones and forward it."
Opening the production team's official Weibo page, Yu Ningning quickly scanned the statement, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked calmly, "Does the production team mean to directly state that Chu He auditioned before, so that everyone knows the cause and effect of this matter?"
In the entertainment industry, where harmony is valued above all else, this move is tantamount to tearing off all pretenses, effectively offending Chu He and his agency.
Most directors and film crews don't have this kind of boldness.
Only someone like Director Kim, who has already achieved great success and has no worries about finding investment or filming opportunities, can be so unrestrained and 'tough'.
However, looking at the relatively dry comments on the official Weibo account, such as "Mr. Chu He's performance during the audition did not quite meet the production team's requirements, and unfortunately he did not get the role" and "Mr. Qin Zheng's personal image and temperament are quite suitable for the role"...
And some confused comments from netizens who came to join the fun.
"Huh? Doesn't Chu He's image fit the bill? He's the most suitable actor for the role of an emperor in period dramas in recent years. If he doesn't fit the bill, I really can't think of anyone who could fit it better."
"In the end, they chose an unknown internet celebrity. Can he really play this role well? I still feel like there's some kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation involved."
"I feel like the official statement was released without any real force!"
"I have to say, Director Jin has really been a bit willful this time."
"Speaking of which, even famous directors can make mistakes sometimes, right?"
...
Yu Ningning turned off her phone, put it in her arms, and said with a smile, "Director Jin, if I'm not mistaken, the production team should still have the audition videos of the actors from back then, right?"
"If the goal is to clarify everything once and for all, why not just be more direct and release all the actors' audition videos?"
As if suddenly reminded, Director Jin had a look of sudden realization, slapped his forehead, and exclaimed, "Oh right, how could I forget that?"
As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and called the assistant director in charge of publicity: "Quickly release the audition videos of Chu He and Brother Qin Zheng together."
"No, our crew has no shortage of editors. Let's just make a comparison video so that people online can see the difference between the two and see if they still say I misjudged it."
Yu Ningning immediately smiled.
It seems Director Kim has seen the comments under the official Weibo account and has been holding a grudge but couldn't find a place to vent.
After hanging up the phone, Director Jin's expression immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Okay, this problem should be completely solved now. I'm so grateful to Xiao Yu for reminding me. Editing the video will take a little more time, so you guys go back and wait. I'll come back and give you the good news once everything is completely sorted out."
Yu Ningning smiled and said, "Director Jin, your judgment is definitely sound. I'll be waiting for your good news then."
