The male lead is set to be Mu Shaojie, and the female lead will still be played by Zhang Shishi.
However, the public feels there's a discrepancy between her image and the original work, leading to considerable controversy.
Zhang Shishi wants to act but is also afraid to.
Shao Chen reassured her, "Actually, no matter who plays the role, there will be a lot of controversy. A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. You can't dictate others' tastes, but you can decide your own acting, what visual feast you present to the audience, instead of relying on hyped-up fictional romances for public attention."
"I understand," Zhang Shishi also decided she would perform well in this drama and not get tied up in a relationship hype with Mu Shaojie, as it wouldn't be fair to Shao Chen.
Just when the entire crew was preparing for this, unexpectedly, the investor felt the movie's prospects weren't good and withdrew funding.
