Reprimanded harshly

Director Wei quickly regained his composure, his professionalism shining through even in the face of such a pointed inquiry.

"Every actor brings something unique to the set," Director Wei responded diplomatically, his tone measured and neutral. "Anna and Xuan Zi Yi are both incredibly talented individuals, and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with both of them."

The reporter was not done yet. He knew that Director Wei was trying to level things out. He asked another question that made everyone curious, "Why was Anna, out of all the other actresses chosen for the cameo role, were you not afraid that she would destroy your film after not being on the big screen for over four years?"

Everyone gasped. This reporter must have been sent by someone who wanted to tarnish Anna's reputation.
